But Cinder turned the ambush on them, encasing Raven in ice and killing Vernal for her power, only to learn she had none. That was not part of the plan, killing Cinder and the two of them escaping with the Relic was. It was not part of the plan, but it is what happened. She painted a target on Vernal's back, knew Vernal was very likely risking her own life, and she went ahead with it anyway. Raven seemed to respect Vernal and she was grateful for the sacrifice, but she did not hesitate to get on with the rest of her plan.
