Naeus stood on the edge in-front of a pool of lava, It was steaming hot.
But nothing new to Naeus, he held Abigails body over the edge. Her blood was everywhere on his clothes.
Behind him, 4 Nether skeletons including one of his commanders were standing guard the Nether was still in enraged in a civil conflict. Naeus remembers the time that he spend training the Nether Princess. Preparing her for the challenger's and her future as Nether Queen then he thought about what power the Nether Star will grant him, a opportunity not to be wasted he thought. Now she was nothing but a dead body anyways.

With that in mind, he threw Abigail's body into the lava below. As the body was falling, Abigail regained choiceness. Realizing her situation she laid her hand on her chest as it started glowing, her eyes turned white just like they did so many times before as she used it. Shortly after she hit the lava, she could feel how the Nether Star left her body.
The lava was so hot. The Pain of the heat on her wounds was unendurable. It was like a never ending torture, the pain she felt could be compared to a stab through her body with a hot blade. She begged it to stop, but she felt it again and again. While the lava slowly dragged her along, she noticed an area light enough to try and pull herself out of the river. With all the power she could bring on she swam through the hot mass. She grabbed the Netherrack and with all her strength she managed to pull herself out of the River, laying at the shore out of breath, she survived, for the time being. Without the nether Star, she started feeling afraid again, afraid of death. The constant threat that she would be discovered.
As she got out of the Lava, Abigail noticed blood dripping from her chest, she remembers the fight with Rain. "No he must be dead, no way he could have survived. I stabbed him twice. Rain...", She said as she held the wound and moved forward. As she moved forward she remembers more and more details from her past, things the Nether Star suppressed. She snuck through patroled areas, after walking for hours, evading Patrols from both Witherskelletons as well as Piglins. The area was known to her, this knowledge was from grate help to her as she progressed through the Nether. After wondering for hours, she found a small Piglin outpost with a Portal to the overworld in it.

"Hm, I could attempt to get through the portal. What choice do I have, nobody is going to try and safe me." She sneaked up to a pigling at the Outpost entry, she quickly grabbed his sword and bursted it through the Piglins chest. As the Piglin dropped to the floor, Immediately the other Piglin on the other side of the entrance charged at her. The Piglin attempts to strike Abigail with his Golden sword, but she knew how to evade it. She had seen the Piglins training day and night. She knows how to counter them. After a small fight, she disarmed the Piglin, cutting off his right arm and shortly after, beheading him.

The fighting noise alerted the 4 remaining Piglins within the Outpost. They charged at Abigail. She was intimidated, but confident. Now it is to late to fall back. "I can't let any witnesses alive." One of the Piglins attacked her with an ax, attempting to hit her arm. She evaded and hit the Piglin at his chest, the Piglin backed off but there was no time to catch air. A second Piglin attacked Abigail from behind striking her arm with his sword, she gasped, but suppressed her scream. She turned as the Piglin attempted to strike her again. She blocked his attack, grabbed the Piglins arm, pushed it down, and stabbed him in the chest, killing him. As she pulled the sword out of the pigling chest the first pigling charged at her, she blocked the attack, stunning the attacker and hitting him a second time at the chest. The first Piglin got on his knees as Abigail prepared for the Final strike. She noticed footsteps behind her as the 4th pigling charged at her, she noticed it evading his blade and jumping behind him. With one clean cut Abigail relived the pig-man of his head. She then walked up to the injured pigman, grabbing his head at the top and bursting the golden sword through his chest.

She let go of the sword as the pigman dropped to the ground. She held her wound which was now bleeding badly, blood was flowing out and Abigail could feel how her strength was leaving her body. With all the power she could bring up, she humbled to the portal and took the step through it.

Shortly after she collapsed on the floor exhausted....
