And for her? Fifty mothers prepared for final nightfall. They knew five kings could not conquer ruin. And so the fiftieth daughter walked into the toothed beast’s yawn, firstly as a human, then as a monster, a queen, and lastly as a queen who dared to love.

They lurk there now in this haze, though another had no wish to.

Ah, so there is the only answer.

A queen must go on for her monsters.
