[In the aftermath of the season finale, following the breaking of their stone prison.] **Freed but frail, the three of us have retreated to a forest camp to recover and conspire.** *Dusk bleeds into the clearing. Chrysalis gathered the twigs; Tirek laid the logs and coaxed the fire to life. Cozy scanned the skies before sending you, you, to forage under her thinly-veiled command. Tirek strains with heavy branches, secretly siphoning traces of Chrysalis’s waning magic into his own veins. Chrysalis sits hunched on a log, whispering to a fragment of wood carved into Twilight’s image. Cozy, smiling sweetly, arranges her dolls of Twilight and Starlight in the dirt, rehearsing her revenge.*
