OK SO, they're on a battle field, we're at the end of the book and the final fight has arrived. Our heroes jump into the fray but the strategy that has been put in place is clear to fail, there's no way they'll win this battle but the higher ups pull rank and they go forward with the plan anyway.
Our protagonist confronts her love interest about the plan and he assures her the best thing to do is follow orders, no ones dying today. She trusts him and ignores the warning signs.
And so they fight, with everything they have, they fight. Our protagonist looks around the battlefield, watching as friends fall left and right. She focuses her mind and continues striking through enemy after enemy. Eventually the battle quietens, the foes are fewer and she stands alone on the field breathing hard, sweat and dirt coating her skin.
She spots a figure in the distance, her love interest stalks towards her with a knowing glint in his eye. At first she’s relieved to see him alive but then hesitates. The eyes she trusted implicitly look different to how they have before. Before she knows it he lunges forward and a sword has been plunged into her side, her knees buckle beneath her and her love guides her to the ground. He had been fighting for the other side all along. Slowly she begins to pass from this life to the next, heartbroken and calling out for a hero with her dying breath.
Hope you enjoyed my far too dramatic cover of Holding out for a hero! You can tell I live on booktok. It wouldn't be a Lydia the Bard cover if there wasn't tonnes and tonnes of DRAMA
Thank you so much to the gorgeous Darragh for helping create this song snd to Mitchie for the incredible art!!

I had a similar idea to this! A hopeless fight where escape and life seems out of reach, but in that despair, a lone soldier, the best of them stood in between the enemy, and the friends. A suicide mission, to buy enough time for everyone to escape. On that day a hero was born. On that day they saved everyone. But no one came when they needed a hero, and there was no saving them.

@clintfell7668 3 ай бұрын

About 10 years ago at Gen Con I listened to Michael Stackpole read one of his short stories. It was about a desperate army sallying forth against impossible odds of monsters that had steadily crushed the kingdom. They sallied forth at sundown and fought an impossible army at night. They had lost all their heroes long before the battle and only had themselves. But in their desperation they found a way to protect everyone they cared about. For it was not an army of human heroes that sallied forth against the monsters, but an army of vampires.

I usually worldbuild for D&D but this has made me create a paladin. A man that survives against all odds, the heroic rescue comes half an hour too late for his beloved so he takes his beloved's oath hoping against all hope his service will be enough to curry favor with the god(s) she swore an oath to. He will serve, he will honor their codes and laws and all they stand for, he just wants the woman he cares for back. A lifetime of servitude for a moment of happiness.

The rough panting, the soaking blood dripping from the brow. Lingering memories of duty, of orders among the chaos of her mind. "72 hours... just hold out for 3 days." roaring over and over, for motivation? Desperation? No, survival. Clenching, a slippery grasp on the hilt of her steel. An unwavering horde bellowing forth. The ever dark night, a fortnight spent lost without light. The remaining time lost among the never rising sun. Brothers and Sister lost, only to rise up in arms once again under the beckoning everlasting night. The shattered steel of comrades strewn about, coated in glistening starlit crimson drool. The shambles and clanking of bones risen again. They claw, they scream... they eat.

This Hero prayed for rescue... and such a rescue came, but the only comfort in the end was that she and her Love would perish together and thus face Eternity as one.

‘The time for speeches is done,’ said Dorn. ‘The first great test is here. My order to you all is simple, yet heed it well, and exert yourselves to see it done.’ ‘They are coming. Kill them all.’ Or...... We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial -carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won.

This reminds me of all the times where in a story a problem could possibly be solved with the help of a character previously established as some sort of guardian, like maybe they even gave some sort of promise that applies to the situation. And we, the reader/viewer wonder if they will show up or if that promise is now in the past. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I do like that wondering phase, especially if the characters themselves don't think the help will come. Really tugs on the heartstrings.

Man this fits so well with an event that happened in my DnD setting, basically a Gateway to the Abyss was opened resulting in a massive war between demons and what ever remained of the Elven Empire, the gateway was made by one of the elven emperor's, and what ever allys they could find amongst the Humans and Dwarves. It was not enough as the Demons had push to the last few remaining cities of the empire, basically almost 2/3 of the Elven empire was razed, which at its peak the empire stretched to about 1/2 of the continent. Then the dragons came and was able to help hold the line until they found out how to seal the portal shut. Suffice to say there was a lot of hopeless last stands that happened during the war. The Dragons were nearly wiped to the brink of extinction from the war, so they left far away to try and rebuild thier population. And as a result kf the war, basically the area that the demon army had razed had became desolate, rain would no longer fall, the ground perpetually stained ashen grey, trees became petrified husks, and any water there became poisonous. Essentially making a large chunk of the continent uninhabitable.

My bard was mortally wounded and the healer wasnt around us so he was going to die. The DM let me use modern song equivalents for his bardic music and since he wanted to do one last thing for his friends sang to the God of music this very song. This was exactly how i heard it in my head (cause i can sing a bit), and the DM was so moved by how i described his final moments the god of music granted a super version of bardic inspiration to the entire army. Thank you for giving his final moments form, i can never repay you for this.

An amazing job, I love what she did with the song, the desperation, and the melancholic sound. She's pulled off a trick here, and I love it. 5 stars. But, the power and range of Bonnie Tyler are unmatched, and it's hard to cover a song written with a specific person's vocals in mind, especially when that person is one of the GOATs. While that may sound like a detractor, it only sounds that way. She's done what is hard and made it her own. No Carbon copy here, well played ma'am, well played.

Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Charge of The Light Brigade vibes. Giving me all kinds of campaign ideas.

Well, that was not what I wanted, but was definitely what I needed. Thank you for this. Beautiful voice, epic atmosphere.

Man i needed this after finishing my campaing as paladin in BG3, i gave them all i saved the city and everyone, sacrifice of my body to become illithid and finish off nether brain. There was only 1 death, my own. God speed Godrick, they wont forget you just as i.

This is particularly resonating for the idea of a undead Paladin who comes back from death not through necromancy or an unholy pact. No nothing like that, just because they said four simple words before they died "I need a hero."

This would fit so right in with a story of a Guardsman, in Warhammer 40k, praying for the Space Marines to come raining in.

The Emperor gave Ollanius Pius one final order, to hold the line. And there, against horrors untold, and against impossible odds, the line was held... even if for but a moment. But a moment held is an eternity, and for an eternity after the Guard shall not break.

Villain looks at the battlefield with a smirk. "Do you really think hero is gonna come here? What a joke." "He will come." Wounded warrior let out deafening cry as he died. "What a pity. He died in delusion. He is going for exacaliber for battle. It will need more than 3 days " villain said while getting little impatient with progress of battle. "Look, you told me he is gonna come. He is thinking about us and he will come." Heroine laughed and said. Soon her face became pale. "Yes, it will take him three days." Villain looked at her. "Ask for my help." "NEVER!" Heroine was on the verge of death but still refused to take his help. "Fuck it." Villain cursed under his breath and cut the person aiming for heroine. "Why do you care for that bastard more than your brother." Villain let out those words. And almost cried for her indifference.

How it starts: -There are too many of them. -I said hold the line soldier We'll make it through this -They have us surrounded we need another plan -Our orders are to hold the line -We're fighting a losing batlle -Don't talk like that I'n not gonna to lose you today -I'm not sure we'll have a choice And how it ends... -where si everyone? -you're still alive... They're gone -what do You mean they're gone? -i mean they're gone -if they're allá gone then there's no way we're gonna make it -that's what i'm counting on. (En español) Como comienza: -Hay demasiados de ellos. -Dije que mantenga la línea soldado. Lo superaremos. -Nos tienen rodeados necesitamos otro plan -Nuestras órdenes son mantener la línea. -Estamos librando una batalla perdida. -No hables así, hoy no te voy a perder. -No estoy segura de que tengamos otra opción. ... Como termina... -¿Dónde están todos? -sigues vivo...Se han ido -¿Qué quieres decir con que se han ido? -quiero decir que se han ido -si se han ido entonces no hay manera de que lo logremos -eso es con lo que estoy contando

You said Epic... And yet somehow you still undersold it. Surrounding it in a short narrative to ease us into this masterpiece was a solid touch. I suspect there will be many replays of this number in my near future.

This isn't just epic, it's cinematic. I can hear this in the back of a melancholic battle sequence at the end of a film/ tv show. The villain watches on, realising they've taken it too far but they can't go back now. They watch as their people die. As the enemies people die.
