It was bad enough that the fight with Talla had blinded Star's eye, but it eventually had to get completely removed when it wouldn't stop getting infected. At least I have a bad a** scar. Star thought somberly to herself with a slight grin.

Emi looked up at Blossom, who smiled warmly at her then turned back to Gwen as she spoke.

*Tani smiled as she looked at the crowd. Despite the great losses many of them had suffered, they celebrated knowing that their losses weren't in vain. But then something caught Tani's attention. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Maddy looking down towards the ground. Tani sensed the guilt and defeat that surrounded Maddy, of what she did not know. But she wouldn't press Maddy on what was troubling her. Not yet anyways. Only when she was ready... whenever that time should come.*

*Many miles north however, while the people celebrated, something dark was going on deep in the Iron Mountains. Inside the largest one, a large crowd of people were watching something. They saw seven old men, wearing thick black fur robes and blood red paint on their faces standing in front of an individual wearing war clothing. The largest man stood in the middle and he was flanked by two guards, one held a bowl containing some type of liquid and the other holding something under a small cloak. The man in the middle spoke in a deep voice that he projected over everyone else*

27 moons ago, your king was struck down in the field of battle! *The crowd began to speak loudly in disbelief but they silenced when the man held up his arm to silence them. He then continued* But now, we stand before you to start a new beginning! *The man turned around and dipped his hand into the bowl, revealing it was full of human blood. He turned around and held up the bloody hand* A new dynasty! *He painted the individuals face and stepped back towards the guard holding the covered object and remove the cloth to reveal a crown made of metal thorns. He turned back around and the individual kneeled as the man held it over their head for a moment. They then placed it onto the individuals head and stepped away* Behold your new Queen *The individual stood up and turned around to look towards her people* Talla!! *The people cheered as they looked at Talla. Horns blew from all around in celebration of Talla, while Talla stood in the watchful eye of her people. And as new Queen of the Iron Mountains.*
