[video] Open to both courts.

[When the locket turns on, it's pointed at a cape that many people would find familiar as the one worn by a certain near-revolutionary named Reynard. At the top of the screen, just in view, are two small hands holding it up, clearly not able to do much more than manage it almost like a curtain. After a few seconds it abruptly drops down to reveal Lumina's face.]

Boo!

[She giggles, letting it drop the rest of the way, and waves towards whomever is holding the locket (one of her imps presumably) who backs up a bit to reveal that Lumina is also wearing Reynard's boots. Although they're so large as to be comical, and she probably got her feet, shoes and all, inside them with a lot of room to spare.]

Grr. [She manages, still chuckling.] I'm Reynard! I'm going to steal the things you care about and overthrow your kingdoms!

[She stomps a few steps, which involves lifting pretty much her entire body each time she moves a shoe. She doesn't quite have to reach down and pick them up with her hands, but it's close. The cloak drags along behind her so far it's practically a train.]

[Behind her is Cul Lairid Orc, or what is left of it after the battle with Reynard. A blood granite vein starbursts along the ground where he had fallen, perhaps twenty feet or so away from where Lumina stands.]

Give me all your shards and I'll take over the world!

[Lumina stomps a bit to the side of the frame, leaving the explosion in the center of the image.]

Or maybe not, huh? [Her tone shifts some as she looks over at the ruin. Though this is Lumina, so she's still clearly amused.] So Reynard's exploded twice now. He's not gonna walk away from it this time, though. Probably not anyway.

I guess this means we won. [Lumina's smile is a bit sly.] A group of noble shardbearers from both courts banded together to face down our shared foe! They solved the riddle of the Great and Terrible Reynard, saving us all from his oncoming, unstoppable wrath! So powerful was he that dying changed the very land around him! [She says this quite dramatically, arms tossed to the side for emphasis. But then they drop to the side.]

Of course, it's never that simple, is it? We hated him, but the locals loved him. You know, the little people we all kind of ignore? [She wiggles her fingers dismissively as she says this.] And he had allies we probably don't even know about! I bet they're all preeeetty mad.

[Her voice is a bit sing-songy by the end, and she nods her head sagely as she falls silent. Observant listeners might hear...something? In the background there. A shout on the wind, maybe? Like an echo of an echo of a scream. But then Lumina's talking again.]

I wonder how it'll all turn out? What do you guys think? [The kid waves a hand towards the marred land behind her.] Good day, or bad?
