Fire consumes the city. A final message crackles through smoke. A choice is made. Light answers. When the dust settles, nothing is as it was

The city in ruin as the Flame escorts prisoners into the Fey Haven. Smoke chokes the sky, battle thunders beyond the walls, and the city unraveled. In the coliseum, Nix is defeated over and over again until he flees. He stops to consider whether he will succumb to fear or choose purpose.

Visions guide Templeton into an ambush that saves a child. Fert holds the portcullis as prisoners flee, rescued by Scraat and Smurk at the last moment. The gate shuts to seal their escape. All the while, Chappy’s desperate plan collapses in front of the mob.
