The creature let out fire as Alari leapt in to the air and Eryn grabbed Kaori's arm, pulling him out of the way with him, not trusting the thing Kaori was holding to efficiently block the pillar of flame moving in their direction, "This is ridiculous!" he balked, looking around at the field, "You really expected Mera to be able to handle all of this on her own?" He looked at Mary. "Well maybe not the creature, but it was kind of... added on to what I remembered because I remember thinking I would rather face one of those than Father..." Mary whispered. There was a loud crunch and they looked over to see Mera on her hands and knees, gasping for air, the tree behind her split. Her father grabbed her by her ponytail , which she quickly cut off to get away from him, coughing as she held her stomach. She gasped when a spear hit the ground in front of her, and she backed up to have one with a sword behind her. He slashed at her, getting her leg as she got out of the way, and another arrow nailed her not far up her leg from the cut. She cried out, grabbing her leg before leaves came up, forming a hard shell around her as they came at her again. "Mary, try and think of something that could help us here, something to fight off your nightmares and help Mera and Alari," Eryn told her, afraid of what taking damage as just a piece of consciousness would do to them in the long run. Mary put her hand to her chin, trying to think. Eryn's attention snapped to the field as he heard the men cry out when they were cut down. Landing near Mera's protection was a younger looking Nero and a woman with black hair that had a blue hue to it, "Ferran?" he blinked, "You called on Ferran? I didn't even know she fought.." Nero shot forwards towards their father, attacking him, using his air to push him faster than his father could move, the two clashing as Ferran shot towards the dragon. Seeing what Alari's goal was she raised her arms up, water bursting forth from the ground, encasing the body of the beast and freezing it solid, leaving just the head exposed to Alari's hit would be dead on and end the beast. "Ferran wasn't one to willingly fight, but she wasn't one to stand by and do nothing- no one was more skilled with water than she was, one of the reasons Nero liked her," Mary smiled, found of the two that were no longer with them. Mera came out of the shell, having healed herself a bit before moving quickly to help Nero, pinning down their father, She looked at Nero, who just smirked, giving a short salute before fading as their father did, a hurdle of the past overcome that hadn't reigned true before. She took a deep breath, trying not to cry about it right now, not needing to deal with that at the moment, looking over at Ferran as the creature was dealt with with by Alari. "You know I always told you couldn't hide from those crazy things called your emotions," Ferran said as she looked at her, "And yet, you silly girl, you still tried," she put her hands on her hips, "There's nothing wrong with caring deeply about someone. It's what's driven you to some of the most important things in your lifetime," she reminded her before she and the beast started to fade as well. Mera looked down, taking a deep breath,putting her hand to her side from the twinge of pain before she remembered where they were, "My flowers,"She whispered, "I'd forgotten all about him doing this," she mumbled, kneeling in the dirt, running her fingers through the ashes that were the remaining flowers. "I feel like as ridiculous as that was it was still a little easy," Eryn said hesitantly, looking around the space, "No one else think of things that frightened you or I will personally hurt you and I don't do the whole violence thing," he sniffed
