Wandering Night
Meanwhile, Nira watches Finca and Shruikan sleep side by side, his tail curled around hers.
Pity ssshe won't make it to sssunrissse, he hisses under his breath as he watches the two, Tamli' sword in his right hand.
Nira advances on the two sleeping dragon and stops once his sword is in range.
Time to end thisss, he mutters as he prepares to throw the sword.
No!
Nira panics. Who said that?
I won't let you!
An astral version of Tamli appears before Nira and holds his arms in place.
FINCA! He roars with all his might!
She awakens and sees his presence holding back Nira.
Destroy us both! Tamli groans as he slips slightly.
But Tamli . . .
Do it! He cries. And hurry up, I can't hold this up for much longer!
Finca looks around for some other way but she sees none.
If I must, she growls before roaring and letting loose a torrent of Shadow toward Tamli and Nira.
The flames slam into the two and Tamli screams.
Once more!
But . . .
Hurry! Tamli shouts as he slips even more.
Finca lowers her head for a moment, closing her eyes. She raises her head and opens her eyes.
This must be done, she growls. Even if we die together!
With that she screams and loosens another blast of Shadow. This blast slams into the two again and Tamli slides back farther.
Nira isn't being affected! He shouts.
Finca growls and takes to the air, her wings drawn to her side to allow for the fastest movement she can get. Nira smirks and attempts to move one arm. Tamli struggles to keep a firm lock on Nira's arms.
Hurry Finca! Tamli growls as he slides backwards even farther.
I am coming, she growls as she strains herself to get through the air and reach Tamli and Nira before it is too late.
She roars and awakens Shruikan who is confused by this.
What is going on Finca? He asks.
No time to explain! Finca answers as she speeds up.
Nira releases what she plans to do. She plans to run straight into him, ploughing into his sword and killing herself as well as him, thus killing Tamli.
This is your end! Finca screams as she ploughs into his sword and her tail pierces him through the heart, thus killing him and Tamli.
She falls to the ground and Shruikan rushes over.
Can you be saved? He asks.
No but watch over our children. Guide them and teach them about the mother they never met, Finca says before she closes her eyes and draws her final breath in Alagaesia.
