Apocalypse now

Something was changing in the world... Ember had stayed up most of the night before when the earth was shaking and the unnerving cacophony of noises from outside Hearthstone's walls made their home feel strange and alien. Her father had ordered a total lockdown of the Hallows for the night once the bizarre activity began, and for once Ember felt no compulsion to disobey or challenge her father's authority over this. Something was very, very wrong with the world. Staring out at the blank canvas of black that was the night sky, she couldn't help but wonder if this was some sort of omen from the gods. Was this the end times? Would they all be okay? Worry for her family both inside the castle walls and beyond filled her heart, and she made the resolute decision then and there that she would find out what was going on.

When the morning sun rose the next day, the dawn was a furious crimson red, as ominous as it was beautiful in some regard. Artorias had gathered up a scouting party to go explore the world and see what was going on, but Ember had her own plans. She could've joined her father and the others, but she still wanted to prove herself to her alpha sire. So once the group en masse had departed, Ember grabbed her own armor and sword and went to find a partner to back her up. She chose Rebel and led the way for the two faes up north to where the rumors of strange occurrences were coming from. Whatever was going on, she wanted to be in on this too.

Approaching the borders of this new yet seemingly ancient land, Ember gawked at the vastness of the space that suddenly occupied an area around central Boreas. She had traveled this way numerous times on her trips between Hemlock and the Hallows and she was certain this had never been here before! "Wow..." she murmured, staring up at the massive stone spires that stuck out of the craggy earth like jagged teeth. "I've never seen anything like this before." Casting a trepidatious look back at Rebel, Ember took the first step over the border and into the Prominence, keeping her senses on high alert in case any threats were nearby.
