And somehow, it was all tied to Auri.
Queen Elowen took a deep breath, quickly regaining her composure. Without another word, she turned and walked deeper into the mine.

The crystal flared in her palm, ice-blue light flickering like something ancient was awakening.
"The battle just now… it's pushed this world to the brink," Queen Elowen said, her voice low and resolute. "We can't stay here any longer. I'm taking this mine—and everything in it—with me."
