Many, many months passed. Ember often found herself standing in front of a self-constructed nest with three eggs occupying it.

"My children..." Ember's demonic, echoing voice hissed to the eggs. "Our children... Do you hear that, daddy? We can finally have that family we both dreamed of..!"

From far off in the dark chamber inside Ember's cave, the broken voice of Koneb sounded. "Y-you're  a sssick creature, Ember."

"Sick?" Ember mused. "I'm perfectly fine, dear brother."

"W-why do you do th-this, Ember?" Koneb asked. "My uncle, your f-father, is l-long gone. D-did he r-really want th-this f-for you?"

"Of course he did." Ember said, stroking the shell of one of her eggs. "He wanted me to be happy. And the only thing that makes me happy is the misery of others..."

"Change, for it is never too late." Said Koneb.

Ember's eyes softed, continuing to stare lifelessly at her children. "...It is for me."
