After a wide gamut of bloodshed had the crowd baying for more, Lelith and Yvraine would eventually enter single combat. The master of the arena decapitating a [[Lictor]] the Daughter of Shades was dueling, nearly killing Yvraine in this opening strike. Lelith would make a show of their duel, goading Yvraine's fury. After toying with Yvraine for a time, Lelith would cut off Yvraine's left hand and leave her with a deep stab wound to the gut before departing to provide other bloody entertainment in the eclectic arena full of blood, corpses, and enemies.{{Fn|2c}}
As Yvraine struggled to hide her waning strength, she met encountered a Priestess of [[Morai-Heg]], [[Corag Hai]]. However, while her soul was between life and death she was resurrected by a slumbering eldritch entity, unbeknownst her her at the timethat moment, this was the awakening god [[Ynnead]], and the cosmic entity whispered one resounding word, "Daughter". [[Eldrad Ulthran]]'s ritual on [[Coheria]] awoke had stirred Ynnead in his slumber, momentarily awakening him at the exact moment that Yvraine died. Upon her rebirth through Ynnead's power, she found her left hand restored as an elegant, blood-red gauntlet. Her [[Husk Blade]] was also changed, imbued with Ynnead's power, turning foes to embers rather than dust. It had become the [[Crone Sword]] '''Kha-vir'''. She could now absorb the souls of those Eldar who died around her, housing their souls within herself. Her transformation sent out waves of the Whispering God's power that damaged much of the arena, turning swathes of spectators into flayed skeletons. But more importantly, it caused a great [[Dysjunction]] in much of the Dark City. Furious at the destruction caused to his realm, Supreme Overlord Vect would send many after Yvraine, but through the aid of the [[Visarch]] and his [[incubi]] she escaped the arena.{{Fn|2d}}
With her old corsair crew of aboard the ''Lanathrialle'', they escaped Commoragh by crashing the flagship into a [[Webway Gate]] too small for the vessel. Those that survived the crash continued through the webway on foot. The wedged wreckage of the ''Lanathrialle'' formed an obstruction buying Yvraine and her rag-tag band of barely fifty individuals a few hours of respite from the pursuit by Vect's agents. Eventually becoming lost, they stumbled across a group of [[daemonette]s dancing with the [[Masque of Slaanesh]]. [[Harlequin]]s of the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow|Midnight Sorrow]] would save Yvraine's group from the Slaaneshi trap. As the troupe departed after the brief battle for the [[Ultima Segmentum]], the [[Solitaire]] amongst them stayed to guide Yvraine and her party to Biel-Tan.{{Fn|2e}}
