Personally I'm guessing if either of them dies it will be Raven... after beating Cinder down, then getting distracted and backstabbed by Cinder, though if Cinder does that I'm guessing either she'll die too or be unable to take Raven's powers.... or possibly both die and downfall refers to Cinder, the tribe, and the known maidens.
