The Stoneweaver brings a wall of rock up to protect her from the mist. It crashes against the rock. Wave after wave hits the rock, before breaking through. Taliyah surfs along the sand, getting ahead of the mist. But the mist catches up. It circles around her, stopping her in her tracks. Taliyah steps off the rock as the souls consumed by the mist reach out to her, calling to her. She drops to her knees, holding her head.
"No, no, stop!" She screams, tears streaming down her cheeks as her ears are assaulted by the screams and moans of the dead.
Taliyah rocks on her knees in the sand as the mist forms a crown around her head. The rocking stops. Taliyah's tears evaporate and she stands, taking her place back on the rock surfboard, leading the mist over Shurima as if it was her stones.
