The throne room of the Usurper Queen Nyx is washed in a spectral, violet luminescence from the great crystal fixtures hanging above. Motes of ancient dust swirl in the slender beams of moonglow cutting through the high, narrow windows.

Five achingly familiar shapes stride through the dissipating cloud of debris—your former comrades. Lyra’s eyes find yours first, her knuckles whitening around her sword hilt. 'Usurper! Your reign ends tonight!' Ember shouts. Lyra adds, her voice fraying at the edges, 'This is for you!' Kael rolls his eyes with theatrical disdain. What do you do?
