A reversal at the end that the bad guy wins the fight and then tries to be like the dead good guy. But fails. But some one else sees that struggle and gets the desire to succeed as the new good guy.

The struggle was large. Most of two families had been involved. But the third family is what they ended their struggle over.

The last cataclysmic fight did not end as the good guy expected. Was it luck, bad, that he had slipped? Fatigue? Not focused enough on the fight? When the final death blow came, he was looking into his enemy's eyes. He said just one word. Don't.

His enemy watched the life go out of the kneeling man's eyes. He got angrier as the body grew colder. As the spirit fled farther and further away, out of reach forever. Don't what! He thought. Was he begging for his life? Accepting that he was about to die and suddenly decided to give Kraken a final bit of advice to live by? Or worse yet, had Morlox given Kraken a bit of advice to die by?
