As she went for the killing blow; Erron stepped in and took the Sol-Lance from her as he sent her off to a safe plane. Erron was the one to sacrifice himself. Cassandra spent many years after the Crisis lost in the guilty of Erron's death, and her failure in taking the chance at ultimate glory. After much convincing by Weston Qwellmar , she eventually forgave herself. Using the land bequeathed to her by Ankerya in Tripolia; she started up a Valor Bard School, called the School of the Boldensouls. It quickly became a huge success, becoming one of the most influential in all of Terranaia. The school still runs today, centuries after her passing.
