A Warrior's Redemption

I wanted to die. The pain of losing her permeated every part of my being. Each day became more melancholy than the one before it and the thought of enduring this pain seemed to be as far from me as she was. I constantly wondered why she was taken from me and why I was left to bear the burden and shame of not being able to save her from the demon who was hunting me. She was my daughter. It was her that I was supposed to protect, however, in the one moment that I was weak she tried to protect me and paid my ransom with her life.
