The Fairy and the shadow

This one tells the story of a fairy who's kingdom was atacked by a terrible horde of monsters, and to vanish them, she had to obtain the powerful Light Crystal. Which light would defeat every monster of the horde. But the crystal was hidden behind a huge door in a dark cave, guarded by a strong titan who woudn't let anyone pass. When she finally stood in front of the titan, her most loyal servant, "the shadow" offered himself in exchange of the Light crystal.
