This further development will further show Valen's trust in the slayer's power→insists on reviving the Slayer by any means necessary later in the story. And possibly a depiction of Marok and Valen's strained relationships regarding their different beliefs.
Valen is also the one who leads the Slayer to unlock a shield rune for him, which doesn't require any chanting and avatar state at all just like all the later shield runes...make it make sense.
But we can have a scene where the Sentinels and Valen draw power from the forge,
strengthening their own respective weapons along with the Slayer. To give the intense story a breathing point.
Then the Slayer is sent to Hell to kill Ahzrak.
We then see prince ahzrak and the Witch, who has figured out that the Heart of Argent is the people (however cheesy that is, it works), showing montages of Thira's and several civilians and soldiers who had a wraith resides inside them.
The camera then pans to the back where we see many Argenta people are locked inside cages, subjected to torture and experiments in attempt to extract the wraith from them.
Bonus point if these are the people we have come to know at this point.
Say,
a civilian back in the Village of Kalim, we blurted out "thank you, Slayer" as they were escorted out of the battlefield.
An engineer who told the Slayer he can't stay here and interrupt their work.
One of the Sentinels in the search party.
And we are hearing their screams in pain, their begs for mercy or death, and how it has become an eerie unison of ringings in the background.
And then we see Thira was the last to be captured.
As she was receiving reports of a massive disappearance of people and their life signals are discovered in an unknown realm.
and she was reporting that to the Kreed Maykr unsuspecting that the latter was in this the entire time.
We then have the Slayer attempts to go into the same portal with Serrat, presumably upon receiving the same life signals.

I will now start my complete rewrite of TDA story around thira to de-mary sue her. And if this process actually made me kind of like her, i will proceed to use my version of thira instead of whatever abomination that's out there.
The rewrite is not in any particular order. only my chain of thoughts.
First, thira is not introduced directly to the players but thru king novik. Novik introduced her as the heir to the throne, has been studying "how to queen" her entire young life and now he thinks she's finally ready to stand closely to learn from him n valen.
Seeing how some chinese were so quick to jump into the conversation as if trying to prove that the firewall is so easy to bypass so it essentially, doesn't exist...Really be filling me with violence.
Those same ppl who wouldn't utter a sound when it comes to the human trafficking, the organ trafficking, the 3-year-old who died of carbon monoxide because they weren't allowed to seek hospital, the pets that were beaten to death in the name of preventing the spread of covid,
the silenced, the ignored, the vulnerable, the same people wouldn't look at them would be so eager to jump in and preach preach preach, "me and my friends, we all use vpn it's soooo easy, literally bro"
