As Lavë sunk her hands into the charred planet she channeled every ounce of power; along with her violent hate, and erupted the massive volcano that her Sisters used to imprison her. This sent the severed chunks of rock crashing down sporadically across the land, as the excruciating magma flowed far and fast, killing her kind first.
Sorlin had a direct line to Koha and used it moments after boulders came crashing down on his village, if not for this the Creators would have never known until too late. By the time the Creators stepped through the portal that connected Epecien to their world, the planet was engulfed in horrid fires that lashed out in waves followed by quickly moving magma which swallowed everything and left nothing but charred ground and bone. The lava clashed with the water and left the Sileen in a hopeless panic; they weren't made to live without water, there was no escape so it boiled them until no screams were left to be heard. Ujë saved Tali before the acid flowed to her and quickly escaped to the homeworld portal, unable to fathom the loss of the Sileen. With every step Lavë made her wrath violated the land and rapidly approached the portal, the castle town of the Kukudeht was in Lavë's direct line of sight.
The Kukudeht did not fear the bright red sea that approached them, they did not panic nor cry; they all made their way into the castle garden and prayed for Natruiz to save Fallen. Arriving as the magma decimated the castle walls, Natruiz rescued Fallen and returned to the homeworld portal. Once arrived Sorlin wiped the single tear that trickled down Fallens cheek and they held each other for a moment before she turned to her Maker and demanded an explanation as to why a Maker she'd never heard of was sad and betrayed to the point she saw no other option than to end everything. This stunned Natruiz and Ujë as not once did they see it as anything other than an unstable, violent act. They had lost all words, neither one knew what to say or how to respond to Fallen. Within a matter of hours, everything they made was turned into a black mass, and the once beautiful sky was painted over with a sickly shade of gray while volcanic ash peppered the air.
No words, no expressions, no explanations were needed for Aleicia, she knew very well what had happened. Words left her lips as she awaited Lavë's arrival. Not only did she express her disappointment in Natruiz and Ujë; but she also expressed her displeasure in herself as well because at the end of it all not only did she let Lavë down, Aleicia allowed the isolation to happen. Once Lavë arrived at the home portal the lava bubbled furiously and surrounded the group; though it was unable to pass the protection seal Aleicia had blessed the foundation of the portal with. Lavë's aura of anger was tainted with sadness as the vibrant red tears flowed from her eyes and slightly burned her cheeks as she asked them how it felt to be immured. Those words rippled through the smoke and made Fallen lose her faith as she realized the honesty she had given Natruiz was betrayed.
Without hesitation, Aleicia had stepped outside of the seal and finally knew what pain was as she wiped the glowing red streaks from Lavë's cheeks and allowed her to collapse into her. Aleicia knew what was coming next, so the words that left her lips were delicate yet sincere. She simply asked for forgiveness and vowed no such thing would happen again, Lavë accepted The Mothers forgiveness as the magma that thrashed around began to relax and lose its vibrant red glow. The magma no longer had the heat that created it, so it calmed and began to solidify. Much like her magma; Lavë no longer had the aggressive flame burning inside of her, and with a final kiss of Aleicia's lips to her forehead, Lavë ceased and returned to which she came; crumbling in The Mothers hands before joining the ash in the air. With this, Aleicia began the absolute Rebirth of Epecien.
The Creators, along with the Favored made way through the portal while Aleicia instructed the Makers to retrieve the necessary resources from Homeworld for the rebuilding of Epecien. She instructed them to leave the igneous rock untouched, the Sisters moved through the portal and began to regain their power and gather resources. After ensuring the comfort of the Favored, Koha returned to Epecien and merged his power with Aliecia's to begin the process. Lavë's ashes still held the life force the Mother had breathed into her; it fed off the power being formed by Aliecia and Koha and reconnected to its origin. Within minutes it placed its roots and only very slowly did it regain its red color yet it was a soft glow, this time the flame held no aggression nor anger.
