*Skip to the part where Lysandra was fighting against sea dragon
Nemesis's POV.
Silence. Complet silence after Aelin's spectacle of power.
But where was Lys? Then I noticed her. Holly Gods she was fighting against wywerns. Even my fire went cold.
Dorian give her signals with his power as Aedion,Aelin and me screamed Lysandra's name,over and over.
I grow anxious with every second that passed. I knew I should do something but I didn't know what or how since my power was still far from me. But then,oh my...Dorian stopped giving her signs as sea dragon male showed up. Twice bigger than Lysandra's form.

No,no,no. I screamed to her,to get away from these beasts. But she wouldn't listen. Oh gods,then she went to kill those beasts and fear pass trough me like it was never before since I was in Erilea. But then Aedion and I looked for a moment and he saw idea in my eyes. So he ran to the giant crossbow,pushing away soldiers on his way.

As Lys danced around that male,I was almost mad with worry and fear. It was seems impossible,but..there it was. Aedion shot his first arrow and she found its target right through the throat of dragon. And then he shot another. And we all hurry to the beach as fast as we could but Aedion was faster than us.

As Rowan and Aelin was healing Lys with that small amount of power they had left I looked at the sea for possible treats,staying away from others.
Then I saw it. Rather sense it then saw it but again...Treat. Another one. Why? Why this must happening,again and again? But danger came closer and closer and I was surprised how others didn't sense it. And then I saw it what it was. Another sea dragon but far bigger than first one and this one had interactions with dark magic. Erawan's magic as it seems. And I knew what he wanted.
But there was that voice again. Wings,remember,summon them.

In third person POV.

Nemesis was growing more anxious than ever and as others begin to notice change and danger. Nemesis snarled at the treat,growling furiously,again and again as she make her way to the edge of beach and once  she was near Rowan yelled "NEMESIS DON'T",but she answered "Prince,this one is MINE.",she practically roared that last word and he didn't want to fight her so he step back as they all fixed their eyes upon female warrior as she drowned into her calmness of the finest killers. And then dragon sea showed up.

Oh hell. Damn all gods that exist. That male was at least twice bigger than first one and looked far more vicious and bloodthirsty. Gavriel breathed "Is she..How she is gonna..",but Rowan stopped male saying "It's in her hands now." Sea dragon rised from the sea in his full might,roaring and when it seemed he would shrink down Nemesis and others,she raised one her hand laughing.

She laughed,laughed,with laughter so cold and so terrifying. And it did work. Sea dragon turned again his attention on female,roaring,rising even more from sea,but Nemesis laughed again and dragon seems to grow even more furious,but then she started to speak.
But is was language others didn't hear before. Not even fae warriors,old enough to hear and see so many things and languages. But even them never heard it before. And Aelin with that little piece of mind she still had,she knew. It was Nemesis's language. Her native one.

All of them got shivers,not just from the strange language,which was ancient and powerful for itself,but from power in Nemesis's voice,as she sounded as all kings and queens of old,her voice growing more regal and lethal than ever before. And then they realised,it was HER voice,once she maybe used it and once she could use again.

And for all honestly,they were little terrified. But she used no power,no power,but one. One of the most powerful. She spoke and spoke and laughed again.  And male seems terrified as well but then he tried to attack her and she jumped up so fast that even most careful eyes almost missed movement as she landed on the top of sea,not drowning into it as others expected. She then made another movement. And dance begin there. Beautiful and dangerous.
Nemesis unleashed two longs knives from her back as she spoke again with far more wicked shot and sky growed darker. But again and again,Nemesis danced around dragon male. And when it looked like she lost control over dance and dragon saw chance and strike,all of them screamed at her to watch. Wolf of Dorranele roared at her "Watch it,for gods's sake. She looked at him as she said "No worry wolf. It's been a long,indeed but..",she smiled wickedly then "It's nothing I haven't handle it before."

Again,every warmness,every laughter was gone as her gaze growed cold but her eyes glowed brighter. She turned again to the male and then real hell began. Fight like no other. She moved trough the air,faster than the wind attacking male but and dragon wasn't exactly for nothing. It was dangerous and she knew it. Oh how she loved that kind of danger. But even her wasn't fast enough. Dragon attacked her again but she  roared again something on that strange language and with invincible strenght she pushed him into tallons of water but not before he succeeded to drag her with him and they dissapeared into the sea. No,no. Gavriel ran to the water but he could do nothing so he cursed again and again. Then shaking began. Earthquakes. And sea seems to be angrier and lightings were shoting all around them.

Nemesis's POV.

From the moment that damned dragon dragged me with him into the sea,I could smell sense of his victory. Though he might take it but I wasn't nobody. Not ever,not now. He punched me with his long tail and I didn't allow myself to think about pain. It angers me. That scum was thinking he could defeat me. Sad. But against everything,I was afraid. I couldn't die in this way,not when my destiny was still there. And I heard it again Wings,remember,summon. Release it. Now.
And with my last breath,I did. I released it.

In third person POV.

As the biggest lighting lighted up the sky,they all gasped in union. Even Aelin. For wave,tall and powerful,raised. And that roar. It was call,it was roar of warrior,it was roar of something far more powerful and then...Nemesis raised again from the sea with that dragon,covered in blood, bringing hell upon that doomed male and when she spoke again,it was scream,it was like order from gods themselves and white,feathered wings showed up on her back,almost as big as wywern's and she now just spoke once again,just one word,now on language they could understand.

Yield .

And she shoved her knives into the neck of dragon them lited him on fire,dropping him but not allow him to drawn into the sea as male was burned right to his bones until only ash left of him.
Silence,again,once more. But Nemesis didn't notice or didn't care,finding strength just to flew up to the beach and from the moment she fell,others exept for Aedion who watched over Lysandra,ran to hear,but she spoke weakly "No,you have....you have others problems and worries right now. I will heal. Eventually. Now go.",and then she fainted and her wings dissapeared.
