Synopsis

After her fall in "The Struggle," the Nether Princess unveils her story as she unlocks her true potential with the essence of the Nether Star and battles her way to the throne of the Nether.

Plot

The film opens viewing General Naeus welcoming Abigail "home", to which she lets out a slight chuckle, declaring her passion shall soon blaze over the kingdom. Naeus next informed her that many in the Horde challenged her to the throne as they see her unfit for it, with her humanity. Abigail instantly jumps to say yes, but is interrupted as Naeus reminds her that she is yet to absorb the Nether Star, declaring that he will help train her before probing her with "Do You Know Who You Are?". After a slight hesitation, she declares herself as the "Long Lost Princess" and heir to the throne, asking him to her "The Ways of this Blazing Realm" as well as to pit the Challengers against her so she may prove her worth.

As Abigail proceeds to seemingly sing the entire song, she is shown to meet the Pig King, bowing before him out of respect. However, one of the Challengers blatantly disregards her claims to the throne, to which she protests she is the true heir. The Knight, not convinced, seizes her by the throat and flings her away. The horned headband she is wearing flies off, forcing her to flee in tears of embarrassment and shame despite Naeus' calls. Naeus finds Abigail overlooking part of the Nether with tears still in her eyes, and presents her with her new staff, the Ruby Thorn, which she decides to accept.

Abigail undergoes a rigorous training regime set by Naeus, including a spar where she is shown to be gaining improvement, knocking Naeus to the ground. She then proceeds to the arena, where three challengers, two Pigmen Knights and a Wither Knight, await her. She is able to defeat all three before her eyes start glowing white, to which she looks up at the observing Glutton and Naeus, having completed her transformation into a Netherkin. The Wither Knight who embarrassed her earlier enters, sees the carnage and is initially shocked, but yet charges at her anyway. Abigail in return swirls her staff and engages without hesitation. Abigail and the Wither Knight fight, with the Knight able to knock her to the ground before she slices off his arm and knocks him down in return. Pointing her staff at his neck, she turns to Glutton and Naeus, Glutton nodding, before stabbing the Knight through the heart, thus ending his life.

Trivia

This is Abigail's first speaking debut as well as Naeus' first speaking and general debut.

Naeus is voiced by Tigilord, who also voices Commander Blackbone and Daryll, whilst Abigail is voiced by Amelia Mader, who also voiced Lady Azura and Ceris.

The video was originally going to be called Rebirth, but was inevitably changed.

This was the first of the prequel episodes, the second being 1 of a Kind, third being Nightmares, and fourth being Poison.

It can be presumed that Begin Again and Cold as Ice took place roughly at the same time.

Ser Patrick, Rain and Daryll appear as a cameo in this episode.

This is the first episode that featured a song not by Blacklite District, and the first song performed by Amelia Mader/THR3.

Both Naeus and Daryll (albeit through a cameo) star in this episode thus making them the second set of characters that share a voice actor to appear in an episode together, following Ceris and Lady Azura appearing in Goodbye.

During the scene where Abigail bows to Glutton, her rig is missing the separate hair pieces that show up in the rest of the video.

Glutton's dead eye does not glow in this episode, unlike in previous appearances.
