Nera shook her head and banished her rifle into wisps of golden smoke. "Humanity is a stained, white soul... white is the easiest color to stain with a different one. Like children." She walked over to Lino and Lina, "The humans are the way they are because we failed as their guardians. The humans are our legacy, a test of our sagacity and our ignorance! We were created for the humans, and they, for us!" She cradled the human children up to her still rather promiscuous chest, and turned her head toward Lacia. "Lacia, buy me time."
"But Nero-" Lacia gestured at the dark, canine form, wiping tears from her eyes.
"I will not allow another life to be taken, human or non-dragon. Break the chains that bind you..." Nera barely whispered, but her voice echoed clearly in the cloud leopard's ears.
Lacia's jaw dropped slightly, but she shut her mouth tightly and nodded. She ripped her jewelry off, bracelets, necklaces and her circlet. Almost instantly, glowing white chains appeared twined around her entire body, and the links snapped as the chains fell off and dissolved. Lacia was engulfed in a furious vortex of winds mixed with a very powerful aura of magic. The feline then joined Ereth in attacking Ryoji with giant, crescent shaped wind blades that she threw at Ryoji with wings composed of whirlwinds.
As Ereth and Lacia took Ryoji on, F'Nerah waved a tan hand over the children, a pale white, wispy fire blanketing them. "Even the most pathetic of humans can rise above a god... if they have the heart for it." She told the children as the warm, soothing flames entered them, mending their injuries and effectively healing them. "And we have the hearts of dragons." She got up, and weaving through the debris of the battlefield, passing by the statue of Katt, leaving it ablaze with the same white flames that seeped into the stone, turning a thin layer into dust which revealed the fur and flesh underneath it.
Nera made it to her goal- Mar. She knelt beside him, biting her lower lip as she engulfed him in the white flames of life. The roots of her hair had turned white, and she looked significantly older now, like she was in her mid forties. Using the Flames of Life took a lot out of her, but it was all she could do right now. She leaned forward and whispered to Mar, though she didn't look at his face, she had her head bowed over his chest. "We need your help... We've done what we could, but I'm afraid we have to ask you to save us... please save us, my Lord..." She shut her eyes, shamed and sorry for having to have to invoke their very Lord, cursing her own weakness. "-Forgive me for my failure."
