Dawn of The Dragon

Chapter 24: The War of The Realms

Kalera finds Palera on her knees with her eyes closed leaning over a glass case. 

"Come closer, my daughter. You are no disturbance to me." She suggests.

"Palera do you understand what is going on?" She asks.

"I do." Palera responds.

"And." She replies. 

"Nothing has changed. Our resolve is still the same. Destroy Boilos. You have all you need to do so. She responds.

"You are no longer trapped. Take up arms and fight with us." Kalera says.

"The spell is not broken, my daughter. I must remain here. But I have something for you. She responds.

Palera leans over opening the case. From it she removes pure white breastplates engraved with the dragon, white scale leather top, and trousers. She also removes Kalera's sword.

Kalera wastes no time, changing as her mother helps her to strap in.

"By now Ager has told them what must be done." Kalera says.

"It matters not. You will do what you must. Whether they deem it so or not. Their powers are strong, but you will guide them and ultimately destroy Boilos." She explains.

"My powers are lacking. I feel weak." Kalera responds.

"Weak. That is something you have never been. You are a warrior. She says with a smile.

Palera takes Kalera's hand and a warm sensation runs through them. Lights the color of each Elementos radiates from her head into her daughters. The warmth begins to burn as they both scream. It feels an eternity has passed as the lights burn out and Palera falls to the floor. 

"Palera. Mother." She cries. 

Leaning towards her mouth, Kalera feels for air. She is not breathing. Panic and then calmness befalls her as she checks for a pulse, and it is strong. The thought of Jessep and Jerimiah enters her mind and they appear alongside her.

"Jessup, we must take her to the healers." Jerimiah says.

"Healers?" Kalera asks.

"Yes. She is taking her journey to the undying lands. If she wishes she will return, but as a mortal." He explains.

"She..." Kalera tries to explain.

"It's okay my Queen. We will take good care of her. Jessup takes Kalera to the field." He orders.

"This way Kalera. Don't worry, the healers will care for her. It is time." He whispers. 

They walked what seemed about two blocks and there they stood. All who were willing to die. Men, women, children, Kales, Shellions, Dreds, Enforcers, and Ager.  All banding together to fight the ultimate evil.

Near them a large, iron, black gate where Xavgon, the Elementos, and Rome stands. Calling out to Kalera, Mother, Xavgon does before bolts of blue light and flame rage down upon them. She turns to Jessup.

"Earlier you said something about survivors. Where are they?" She screams.

"I assure you they are safe, below the city." He yells back.

Boom!

He found us! Kalera screams.

Though there was no time, she did not want to waste a moment that maybe the last for many here. Power and gifts will not be enough to destroy the bringer of death. So, as a massive star prepares to supernova, she turns to them.
