| NOTES: | Spoiler for Backstory : Part 1: "A powerful magi bearing Air which fans Fire; the grand firestorms that result from embers flying across a battlefield, birthing more embers and more fire; the Life it imbues into its creatures makes the endless embers its absolute power."
-Found on a scroll dated 298 P.A. (Prior Advent), titled "Fire's Empress"
All gone.
Her former glowing fields of fireflies as they dazzled the sky with their radiance, her Farenheits and Eagle's Eyes twirling acrross the skies like stars, her emphatic bonds ruined and displaying little life.
And now her grip over the False Gods as well. Jezebelle's uprising had caught her by suprise - none of the False Gods expected the onslaught of Nymphs that flung numerous alchmistic chants at their targets, leaving sheer destruction in their wake. She had been forced off the council - and yet she had been the last one to defend it to the end.
Did anyone appreciate her anymore? Was this how her former Nymph rival had felt when she was ridiculed and left to gather power?
It was as if no one had cared for her anymore. Even Scorpio. She held up his last gift before she had to flee - a vial of poison stingers, something she could use to irriate elementals to no end. He had taken it from his finest breeded scorpions when perfecting his own arsenic and poison for use - the scorpions would be sent to Serket later on when he was accepted, but back then they were Scorpio's. And hers.
"...I've been looking for you."
Panicking, she whipped around and fired a burst at what was the cloaked figure standing near her. She mentally gasped - to hurt an attacker was one thing, an innocent elemental simply searching for her, who led no army whatsoever....
"I'm not innocent." The cloaked figure snapped his fingers and the fire bolt burst into showers of sparks. He stood still - the only indication that he wasn't a statue was his cloak flowing in the wind.
"What do you want then?" She asked, her voice shaky.
"Do not hate the False Gods for what they've done to you."
"Why?!"
The figure paused to take note of the drop that splattered onto the rocky cliff they were standing at.
"Hate simply breeds more hate. Do not repeat the mistake that your rival did - did you know that she was the The Essence's Sister?"
Fire Queen reeled in shock at this statement. "She was a Master's Sister?"
"Correct." The wind began to shift, and the cloak began to swirl. "She already had the potential to use the great power she does now - she just did not realize it. You do too - all of you infact have untapped power."
"How?! We have ascended, to become imitations of the deities that no longer walk this plane! It's impossible to push past a limit that was set by the gods!"
"Set by gods?!" The stranger roared. The winds became fierce now, and Firefly Queen shrunk back - something she had done a lot of recently.
"That limit was set by yourself! You don't understand - you are all strong at heart, like any other elemental! It is our unlimited potential that makes us so strong!" The stranger stopped, to find himself covered in vines of fire.
"So.... you're here to help me unlock this power in that case?" Fire Queen responded, her anger and despair combined into one deadly mix of rage on her face.
"Calm down." A wave of sadness suddenly hit her, and she relaxed. Perhaps the stranger had felt a great loss - few offered to help the False Gods, the supposed "greatest of the greatest" - when in reality they were at the bottom.
"You were partially correct. I am here to help you unlock that power - but not directly. I am to test you, not to train you."
"How?"
"With power. Will you control it properly? I don't know. It's up to you." the stranger replied. "Here's what I will give you to start." A strange memory flashed into the Queen's head - she saw an insect, much like a firefly, but with a deadly stinger mounted on where it's light should've been. The Grandmaster of Entropy, the Rezu, would've said it was a mutant - had it not been so beautiful and graceful as it danced about in it's patterns, collecting honey and stinging it's opponents.
She knew what to do now. However, when she turned to thank the stranger, he was gone.

Spoiler for Backstory Part 2: The Myrmidon and the Vader rapidly turned and slashed quickly with their respective blades, the Shamshir and the Darksaber. The attacking insect soldiers flew left and right, their dragonfly-like wings fluttering uselessly, but their poison had already taken effect on the guards. Numerous immortals and vampires were rushed off to the sanctuary by their comrades, the victims screaming about how the poison burned like no fire could.
"Have they gone mad?" The Myrmidon murmured aloud, as the two 3rd Masters walked along the rows of the wounded.
"I don't know, Mari - I've never seen anything like it. The Time Embassy reports nothing of having such lethal poison in it's records." the Vader replied.
"Don't call me that, Tor." The Vader ducked, but wasn't discreet enough - the Myrmidon had already predicted his actions and met him with a slap in the face.
"Ouch."
"Well, the ones here feel worse." The conversation was interrupted by a messenger running up to the two masters.
"There's a single challenger approaching - it appears to be the leader. She wants to challenge you two in an elemental battle, according to the message." Hearing this, the two looked worriedly at one another.
"Challenging two masters to a direct battle? Who is foolish enough to attempt that?" The Myrmidon's question was in the minds of everyone else - nevertheless, a challenge was a challenge and the two departed for the area out side the city walls where they could safely fight the combatant - if "safe" had meant enduring the stinging "flame poison" as many called it.
Outside the gate, the Myrmidon and the Vader nearly dropped their weapons in surprise when they saw who was commanding the strange insects, along with an arsenal the previously though she would never wield.
"Fire Queen?"

A spawner that is more offensively focuses than firefly queen - her slightly lower cost comes at the cost of a slightly weaker spawn as well as a higher ability cost and lower base stats.
This card is part of a new series of rare cards that can only be obtained through the False Gods : Revolution.
How it works:
After you win 10 times against the FGs, the Oracle will warn you that you are about to face "enhanced power" the next time the FG is fought. The FG may or may not also gain special conditions along with having copies of this card in his/her deck, as well as an additional title to indicate that you're not facing the ordinary version of the FG this time.
How the card is obtained:
After you beat an FG, the card automatically reverts back to it's unupgraded form in the spins. Even though it make seem not-so-great as a result, it's still worth a bit of coin (being a rare) and the cards can end up being pretty useful in different situations as well as creating new strategies.
Special Conditions when fighting Fire Queen - Enclosed Flame
Firefly Queen's mark changes to a Death Mark. Her Farenheits and Fire Bolts are replaced with more rushy Minor Phoenixes and Explosions, along with Fire Towers to fuel them.
The prescence of Air is within her deck is changed as well - some Eagle's Eyes and Flying Weapons are removed in exchange for cards like Sky Dive and Wyrm for sheer attack power.
Strategy
Wasps share the frail HP that their Firefly counterparts also have a hard time with - this leaves them open to AoE damage like RoF and Fire Buckler. An  /  or  /  deck is your best bet here - you could attempt an early PA'd lobo out that would lobotomize her Wasp Queens w/Phase Shield to back up or an RoF/Fire Shield to destroy her Wasps to power up your Vultures and possibly Soul Catchers for Ivory Dragons - Firefly Queen has sacrificed most of her CC for rushpower so getting your key creatures killed is not as much of a concern.
