Overshadowed

1

The goddess' cries echoed through the night sky. Rain poured from the heavens and blood from fallen warriors stained the ground. In the midst of it all was a battle. Not a battle between two armies, but a fight between a hero and the shadows. This was the great battle of Sonata and his twilight self. Both swordsmen's clothes were stained with blood, and they held their swords tightly. Although severely battered, neither of the fighters were giving up. Suddenly, a most shocking thing happened; Shadow Sonata had pried the sword from  his counterpart's wing. This was it....it was over. Sonata was left with no defense. Eclipse, Goddess of the Twilight spoke. "How does it feel, watching yet another die trying to save you, Cana?" Tears streamed down Canas face. "No!! Please stop!"
  
And with that, Shadow Sonata plunged the stolen sword into the chest of the fallen hero. It had been done....Shadow Sonata won the battle. Devastated, Cana ran to Sonata's limp body and grabbed his hand. Short, shallow breaths escaped his beak. The words echoed in Canas mind. "He's been overshadowed" "Cana"......"Sing to me". Cana began to sing softly. After a few words, Cana looked down at Sonata.....his eyes were closed.....No pulse.....he was gone.......
