Kerrigan, Kathryn, and Ruddiger made their way to the entrance of the Palace which was boarded up. Ruddiger barked and slipped between the boards.

"Ruddiger? Ruddiger? Ruddiger where are you?!" Kerrigan called, then stepped forward and grabbed the planks and pulled managing to break some of them off.

"Ruddiger!" Kerrigan ran inside leaving Kathryn behind.

"Ker! Wait up!"

Kerrigan wandered into an old room and noticed Ruddiger slide underneath a heavily dusted table. She looked at one of the plates and picked it up, blowing the dust and dirt off of it.

She looked at her reflection and saw a flash of a little girl dancing with an older man. Kerrigan shook her head and put it down.

She looked around some more and for some reason she couldn't help but feel like she had been here before.

"This place... It's like a memory from a dream."

Kerrigan: "Dancing bears, painted wings, things I almost remember."

She exits the room and makes her way to the grand ballroom.

Kerrigan: "And a song someone sings, once upon a December."

She wrapped her arms around herself.

Kerrigan: "Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a silver storm."

She removed her giant coat and hat, and dropped them to the floor.

Kerrigan: "Figures dancing gracefully across my memory."

Suddenly, bright, dancing figures seem to burst through the windows and float onto the floor, dancing gracefully- Kerrigan rushes down and dances and spins around with them, curtsying to some of them.

Kerrigan: "Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory."

Three boys surround her and dance with her, but she pauses when she sees a vision of a boy (Varian) standing there, the boy looked extremely handsome, and somewhat familiar.

He wore an elegant black suit with a teal tie and a silver crown with jade stones.

She looks at her own clothes and notices that she is wearing her own fancy light blue dress and a silver tiara, but she doesn't pay much attention to that. She was still focused on the boy (Varian).

Kerrigan elegantly glides towards him and the boy (Varian) immediately takes her in his arms and starts dancing with her.

Kerrigan: "Far away, long ago, growing dim as an ember. Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember."

Kerrigan and Varian turn to see Czar Charles and his three sons approaching them. Charles smiled at Kerrigan and hugged her, then he took Kerrigan's hand and kissed it, looking towards Varian nodding at him, seeming to approve of her choice for a husband.

Kerrigan: "And a song someone sings once upon a December."

Kerrigan slowly kneeled before the Czar and watched as he slowly backed away.

"HEY!"

Kerrigan was snapped out of her daydream by a voice.

"What are you doing in here?" Varian demanded from a balcony.

Kerrigan gasped and ran over to where she came in. Varian made his way down the stairs chasing after her.

"Hey, stop, stop, stop! Hold on a minute, hold on!"
