The Ixtali Empress brings up a wall of water, but the Mist penetrates it. She uses her ohmlatl to cloak herself in grass, attempting to hide from the Black Mist, but it finds her. It worms its way into her head, whispering things to her, things she knows aren't true. She tries to fight it but it gets worse and worse. Qiyana screams and a large circle of rock bursts forth from her, forming spikes at its peak. The mist gathers outside the rock circle, trying to find a way in.
"Qiyana wont let you take Ixtal!" Qiyana stands and stomps her foot, letting the rocks collapse around her.
Ohmlatl in hand, she battles with the mist, the wraiths falling to the ground around her, but they get back up. Once again, the mist gets into her mind and this time, she drops her weapon.
"Ixtal is better without me... with my king leadi-" Qiyana grips her head as her eyes turn green. "No! Get out of my head!"
Qiyana rocks on the ground, digging her nails into her head as the mist slowly corrupts her. When she stands, she picks up an ohmlatl surrounded by mist.
"My king Viego and queen Isolde will rule Ixtal. I shall make it so."
