As she fell to the ground it felt as if the world was caving in. The crystal on top of her was falling now with her sword broken. She had no chance of becoming the hero everyone wanted to save them from the plant that was slowly devouring them.

Her people's powers were useless at this point. She needed their help but they had given up. They had all been eaten by this monster. Hope was now lost. As she fell to the ground a bright light appeared in front of her. The crystal had a connection with her sword, hope had now returned.
