Poison

"Poison" is a special episode of Fractures, and the 16th episode overall. It uses the WE ARE FURY and Derek Joel song of the same name. It is the sequel to Nightmares, focusing on Kane and Abigail's search for Lance.
==Synopsis==
To save his dying partner, Kane strikes a truce with the Nether Princess, promising to protect her title. Together, they ride to the swamp lands in search of the Rogue Ender Mage, an enemy of the Nether Kingdom.
==Plot==
Kane quickly yields to Abigail, but convinces her that Lance, the Rogue Ender Mage, plans to invade the Nether to redeem himself from exile. Abigail is alarmed, as not even the Nether generals know who Lance is. Kane manages to strike a truce with Abigail in exchange for helping her find and slay Lance. 
Kane leaves Ciara, who is mortally wounded, at the Netherbane Tavern to be treated, and meets Abigail outside. Riding to the swamp lands, they set up camp, defeat the Man-Dragon, and enter Lance's castle. Using his magic, Lance immediately shuts the gate and divides Kane and Abigail by lowering a wall. Kane battles Lance's vexes, while Abigail almost defeats Lance before he sends both of them into a "dream world". 
Abigail finds herself in Glacierford, the village she lived in as a human. She sees Rain, her former lover, running towards her and lowers her guard, but Rain changes into Lance. Having defeated the vexes, Kane breaks through the wall. He finds Abigail and Lance unconscious. Kane touches the magic shield which surrounds Lance and drives an arrow, draped with a purple liquid from the skin of Lance's frog, inro his own heart. 
Kane is somehow transported to the dream world and starts fighting Lance. Abigail obtains the bow and a few arrows she touched in the real world and shoots at Lance, hitting him. Lance attempts to use a Totem of Undying, but Abigail shoots it out of his reach. As he tries to pick it back up, Kane jumps on him and knocks him out with his bare hands. 
Kane obtains Lance's blades and totem of undying, which he will give to Ciara. Abigail warns Kane about a demon witch from the Coven, implied to be Stella, who haunts her dreams.

*The original plan for Lance's dream world was a small End City where he controlled everything. Dragons would attack Kane and Abigail. However, the Rainimator Production Team agreed that sending Abigail back to "The Struggle" would be more impactful and add depth to the Princess' character.Olaguer, Rain Allen [radapedaxa] (March 12, 2023). "Originally, I planned that instead of the dream world, Lance would pull Kane and Abigail into an alternate reality, a small End City where he controls everything. Dragons would be attacking them." (Discord message). Retrieved December 22, 2023. The song's duration also could not fit the scene in. However, the dragons appear in the thumbnail as a vestige of the scrapped idea.Olaguer, Rain Allen [radapedaxa] (September 15, 2021).
