STARFALL, EPISODE 21 | THE TRAITOR

Lord Eric, sensing the looming danger,

Retreated from the chaos, forest his anchor,

But the Fae Queen's enforcers, swift and grim,

Caught up with him, at a moment’s whim.

With a poisoned blade, they struck him low,

Unconscious he fell, in a deadly blow,

Meanwhile, Iona, hidden safe and sound,

Watched the events unfold on the sacred ground.

Kenrick, Tornik, Fern, and Duncan, undeterred,

Engaged with Ava, whose defiance stirred,

In the midst of battle, a vital blow she dealt,

Leaving Duncan wounded, pain deeply felt.

They subdued Ava, encasing her in stasis,

Planning to interrogate her, revealing her basis,

Tornik took charge, restraining her tight,

While the others prepared for a questioning fight.

Yet, despite their efforts, no plan was revealed,

To stop the Queen, their fate was sealed,

Kenrick, burdened with doubts and concerns,

Walked away, seeking answers the forest discerns.

Left behind, the remaining trio made their way,

Bringing Ava to the Queen, no longer to stray,

Tornik, relinquishing her to the Queen's reign,

Exiled Ava, her destiny forever changed.

In the midst of turmoil, Iona and Kenrick met,

Joined in purpose, a path they set,

Leaving Duncan, Lord Eric, Fern, and Tornik behind,

To stand against the Queen, their hearts aligned.

The Fae Queen presented them with a quest profound,

To end the Triumvirate's reign, to break the bound,

A choice lay before them, acceptance in their eyes,

They pledged their resolve, their spirits would rise.
