Anya left Azog lying on the ground and continued on her journey. She knew that she had to find Malkor and defeat him before it was too late.
Anya traveled for many days and nights. She crossed mountains and valleys, and she crossed rivers and streams. She faced many challenges along the way, but she never gave up.
One day, Anya came to a dark and forbidding forest. She knew that this was where Malkor was hiding.
Anya took a deep breath and entered the forest. She knew that this was the most dangerous thing she had ever done, but she was determined to defeat Malkor.
Anya walked through the forest for hours. She didn't see or hear anything.
The only sound was the wind rustling through the trees.
Anya was starting to think that she was lost. She was about to turn back when she heard a voice.
"Anya," the voice said. "I've been expecting you."
Anya turned around and saw Malkor standing behind her. He was taller and more powerful than she remembered him.
"Malkor," Anya said. "It's time to end this."
Malkor laughed. "You think you can defeat me, Anya?" he said. "You're nothing more than a child."
"I'm more than you think," Anya said.
Anya drew her sword and charged at Malkor. Malkor cast a spell, but Anya dodged it.
Anya and Malkor fought fiercely. They exchanged blows and spells, neither one giving an inch.
The battle raged for hours. Anya was starting to tire, but she knew that she couldn't give up.
Finally, Anya made an opening. She used her magic to create a powerful blast of energy that knocked Malkor to the ground.
Anya stood over Malkor, her sword raised. She could have easily killed him, but she didn't.
Anya knew that killing Malkor wouldn't solve anything. The darkness would just find a new champion.
Anya lowered her sword. "I'm not going to kill you, Malkor," she said. "But I will defeat you."
Anya turned and walked away. She left Malkor lying on the ground, defeated.
Anya knew that the battle was far from over. The darkness would always be there, waiting to strike.
But Anya also knew that she was strong enough to defeat it. She was the only one who could save the world from the forces of darkness.
And she was determined to do just that.
Anya returned to her village a hero. The people were grateful to her for defeating Malkor, and they celebrated her victory.
But Anya knew that the battle was far from over. She knew that Malkor would be back, and that he would be stronger than ever before.
Anya also knew that there were other dark forces at work in the world. Forces that were even more powerful than Malkor.
Anya knew that she had to prepare for the next battle. She had to become even more powerful.
Anya began to train even harder. She practiced her magic and her combat skills. She also studied the ancient texts of the wise ones, learning everything she could about the dark forces.
Anya knew that she couldn't defeat the darkness alone. She needed allies.
Anya began to travel the world, searching for those who were willing to fight against the darkness. She found warriors, mages, and scholars who were all committed to the same cause.
Together, they formed a group known as the Guardians of Light. They were dedicated to protecting the world from the forces of darkness.
Anya knew that the next battle would be difficult, but she was confident that the Guardians of Light would prevail.
She knew that they had to win, for the sake of the world.
The Guardians of Light trained together for many years. They prepared for the day when Malkor would return, and they prepared for the day when the other dark forces would make their move.
One day, the Guardians of Light received word that Malkor had returned. He was gathering his army, and he was planning to attack the kingdom.
The Guardians of Light knew that they had to act quickly. They gathered their forces and marched to meet Malkor in battle.
The two armies met on a vast plain. Malkor's army was much larger than the Guardians of Light, but the Guardians had a secret weapon.
Anya had discovered a new spell, a spell that could destroy Malkor and his army.
The battle raged for hours. The Guardians of Light fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched.
Just when it seemed that all was lost, Anya cast her spell. A beam of light shot from her hands and struck Malkor's army.
The beam of light destroyed everything in its path. Malkor and his army were vaporized instantly.
The battle was over. The Guardians of Light had won.
Anya and the Guardians of Light returned to the kingdom victorious. They were hailed as heroes, and they were celebrated by all.
But Anya knew that the battle was not over. She knew that the darkness would always be there, waiting to strike.
But she also knew that the Guardians of Light would be there to stop them. They would always be there to protect the world from the forces of darkness.
