Hope

Until now I'd lost all hope. The elves had all fallen. The fairies had never shown. The dwarves looked like they planned on giving up. We were losing the war. Hope was a thing of the past. Then I saw her riding up on a unicorn. Sword in hand, this human woman, the only human on this side of the way besides myself. She looked as though she could be a goddess. I knew in an instant that we could win this war. Though I was uncertain why. Why would I have such faith in this one soul? I believe it was the look in her eyes. She looked determined. I knew what we were fighting for. I knew in this moment that determination can bring hope back. I picked up my sword. Death may take me but if it did at least I will have died fighting. Suddenly along side the only other human, I had hope. Maybe the fairies would join us. Maybe the elves hadn't all fallen. Maybe the dwarves weren't going to give up. I knew for certain I wasn't going to give up. Hope. It might just win this war after all.
