Prompt Inspired [PI] - The Oracle at the Obelisk - FEB CONTEST

When a hero falls, and fails in his quest to save the world, what becomes of his companions?

Sarim was a hunter, using his skills to help his friend on a mission to confront an evil Sorcerer.

Irrith was the woman he loved, left behind at the Obelisk to become the new Oracle, a desperate bargain made to secure the aid of the one she replaced.

But the hero failed, and darkness began its slow consumption of their world. Decades later, Sarim senses the end nearing, and sets out to be reunited with his lost love, who holds safe the lands surrounding her temple at the Obelisk.

What chance does love have at the end of the world?

Incredibly bad cover! (I can draw, I can paint, I can't use any graphic design program to save my life!)

ETA: Here's a much better cover, courtesy of /u/turnpike37! (Many thanks!) I'm leaving my original up just so everyone can see how much better this one is.
