hmm...I think this one lacked a lot of description in AP, so I'll try my best to describe it here...
This is a sketch which I turned into a wall recently. It was originally planned for Dynasty Warriours, but I ditched the idea since it didn't look like it. In my mind, the guy carried the girl to the riverside. Well, here's the story (hopefully it won't sound lame):
The setting is somewhere in medieval China, during one of the many revolutions. Leefang is one of the selected few to lead a defensive force against a raid. The resistance proves to be effective until sudden news reach him that their village is being attacked. Blinded by rage, he leaves his position immediately and rushes to his hometown. He arrives to see a horde of soldiers killing, raping, and burning everything. Leefang desperately fights his way through the chaos to reach his lover. He finds her attacked by a gang of soldiers, whom he quickly dispatches. By the time he was done, he finds her suffering from a fatal poison wound. He watches in tears as his lover, Ying, breathes her last few breaths. She grabs his hand and says 'water...' Already wounded in a dozen places and armour either burnt or torn away, he carries her to the nearest well he can find. Snow lashes out at him as he exits the building, but he trudges on despite the frost building on his body. He uses his body to cover Ying from the ruthless elements as he desperately searches for a well. To his horror, all the wells are sealed when the soldiers left the ravaged village. Knowing that the nearest water source is a few miles away, Leefang sprints to the stream in the biting cold. Tears flow uncontrolled as he watches Ying leave the world. When he finally reaches the stream, he smiles and attempts to wake Ying. Ying does not move. A few moments pass before he stubbornly and sadly accepts the truth. Ying is dead. No longer will they spend the summer time by the lake, no longer will they spend the fall gazing at stars; no longer will they feel each other's warmth in each other's hearts. He kneels beside the river and weeps openly, which is considered to be a shame and an embarrassment in China. The tears pool around them and flows into the stream. It is not long before the bitter cold freezes Leefang's heart. Though they would not see each other in this world, they will be reunited in a place where the fields are green and streams are silent.

well...that was corny XD Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the wall ^^

    This is amazing! I love the scenary and the scans are truly beautiful!
    However the overall wallie is a bit grainy. :/ However, despite that,
    you've done an awesome job! Kudos to you!^^
    Thank you for taking the time to explain the story behind it.

    This is very nice especially the story that goes with it. I can see the effort you put in it but the arrows could have blended into the look, they look bold. Or maybe they are suppose to stand out like that? either way its a great wall and i'm afraid to know how long the woman has been dead in this wall >_< such an emotional and beautiful wall.

    From a distance, it looks awesome and from upclose it still does. However the faces look weird, particularly the woman's. I know its supposed to look non-detailed, but maybe it would look a little better with a little more detail in the faces.
