The traitorous Ranger had been deeply wounded more than once and would have died if not for Dawn's Davross equipment yet he kept fighting. Not for glory or to be forgiven, but for himself.
To see if there was still something of Zepho Acala under the rubble of Dawn's host. To see if there was still a fire burning under the self-pity he had used to justify his shortcomings his whole life.
"Even those who don't amount to one of your fingers are giving their all to protect the people they love. Everyone but you." Lastly, Tyris pointed at Sentar the Thunderbird who empowered by the Awakened Forest fought by Marth's side.
"Get your filthy hands off my husband, you stupid piece of rock!" From below, Ryssa had rallied the plant folk of the forest and they were using their bloodline abilities to pull the ground off the Golden Knight's feet.
Vines and trees tried to hinder its movements while hills and cracks formed non-stop, but none was fast enough to impede the titan in his fight against the White Knight. Hystar needed but a stomp to ruin their work and crush them into bits. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Ryssa!" Waves of fear shook Marth's very being at the thought that he might have just lost his wife and their son his mother.
Luckily for him, plant folk were naturally hard to kill and Ryssa had the home advantage. The forest of the White Griffon found the bits of the plant folk and provided them with the nutrients and energy they needed to regenerate.
"What do you expect us to do, exactly?" Fyrwal asked. "We have already tried and failed to fight that monster when we had armies at our command and several powerful bloodline abilities.
"There's so much chaos that finding three more people for the When All Are One array is impossible. Your Queen is fighting alone in the sky and without our trump card we have no chance of victory." Thrud's Golden Griffon form was clad in Davross and she used one bloodline ability after the other.
To make matters worse, the lost academy was fueling her with a constant stream of power that made any wound she sustained last but one second and have no consequence.
Sylpha was doing her best, but with her size, she couldn't open a wound deeper than a scratch.
"I'm not asking you to win since even I don't know if that's possible. I'm asking you to fight for yourselves. For your legacy and Valeron's." Tyris replied.
"Why do you care? Sylpha is not of your blood. She's no one." Tessa said.
"And so was Valeron before meeting me. Before meeting you. Everyone knows him for who he became and yet they forget how he started. Now tell me, what would he do now?"
Tessa gritted her teeth, seeing herself in the pointless struggle of the young Dryad below. Many she had loved and all she had lost before turning into the monster known as the Bewitching Demon.
"Give up, you idiot." She mumbled under her breath, praying for Sylpha to admit defeat and run away from the unwinnable battle.
Yet the Queen endured.
A tiny little woman against a beast the like legends sang about.
"Damn you, Saefel. I'm in." Fyrwal said.
"Me too. We need two more people to help Valeron, but who do we pick?" Tessa's slip of the tongue made Tyris' happy but she said no more.
