The bridge was breaking. The king sounded a retreat, but it was too late. The monsters hemmed them in on both sides, preventing them from escaping their doom. The knights tried their hardest, but there just wasn’t enough time. As the bridge fell into the lava below, the warriors gave into their fate and grabbed those enemies nearest to them, bringing them to their doom as well.

Few survived the catalyst that had claimed an entire kingdom, but survive they did. One was the son of the champion, his father having gone down under the relentless blows of the endermen. Another was a visiting elven archer, who had kept out of reach and snipped those she could. A few of the younger warriors remained as well, having been kept out of the fight by those concerned for their safety. When day came and the creatures of the night burned away, the survivors came out of hiding and began to salvage everything they could find. Supplied with food, armor, weapons, and tools, they left, with a promise to return someday and reclaim what their ancestors had died to protect.

Several years later, a small ragtag group struggled up the mountain. Their leader, a fair haired boy with a giant sword strapped to his back, dropped back to help up one who had fallen. A boy in a full suit of armor stopped by them, “How much longer?” he huffed.

Unfortunatly, I'm stuck, because I can't think of a name, and it would be almost impossible to continue calling the characters by their descriptions. Does anyone have ideas?
