As the battle raged on the city, down below in the catacombs, Cynder was writing a poem that she was going to recite to everyone in the echos of the catacombs. After careful consideration of what she would say, she was ready to speak. As she got up to where everyone could see her, she had all eyes on her.

"Let me clear up some confusion. I am your queen. A queen for all. Though, once I was known as something else. 'Terror' you all called me. There is no excuse for my actions. It was Malefor's doing. He put me under his spell. I couldn't get away because I had just hatched. I was saved by the one who saved you all. Only mere weeks afterwards I put myself in solitude. I couldn't stand the guilt of being around everyone I hurt. Being captured once again, I found myself staring at a familiar sight. The face of him who put me in this spot in the first place. But that's all the past. The cycle of life continues even now."

A single scream followed the applause. "Breach!" Cynder regrettably knew it was Ember who was speaking. She (Cynder) flew down to the voice's point of origin. As she was approaching the voice, she thought to herself "It's time to put these words into actions."

As Ember laid above a seemingly endless pit, about to be struck down by Grublins, it got even darker. This was due to Cynder's shadow breath. As the smoke cleared, Cynder stood firmly saying "Like I said. Queen FOR ALL." Ember got up dazed and confused.
