You said!

Doon, to the right! The right!

I'm trying!

- Drop!

- Hold on!

There's something up ahead.

Okay.

They were right.

There's nothing but darkness.

Lina.

It's blue.

Ember! You can see it!

Hello!

They won't hear you.

It's way too far.

Well-Well, we've gotta

tell them somehow.

We need to tell them what's up here.

Lina and Doon

tied their hope to a rock...

and tossed it down toward the city.

The rock could've ended up on a roof.

Or kicked into a gutter.

But fate ran another course.

And the message found its way.

Now the path was clear for all.

All of us who kept

the flame of Ember burning...

through the darkness...

so that we could live again

on the earth...

in the air and the light.
