[Nala, Llyniel, Leira, Sera, Ella, and Halime's POV]
The seven watched Tiamat, the dragon goddess, wave her hand, eradicating the Terravains with ease before turning back to them with a smile, "Ella, Sera, stand up, you two. We're friends and sisters, so you will never bow to me anymore."'
Ella shook her head and got to her feet, asking, "What happened?"YoÌur favorite stories at novelhall.com
"It's my divine aura. When I appear, it affects dragons unless I control it. But I've deactivated it for you, Sera, and the others," Tiamat said with a knowing smile.
"Other girls?" Leira asked.
Tiamat's smile grew even wider. "The demi-human sisters have or are in the process of unlocking them, while the rest have bonded with Archer's mana, and the universe deemed them worthy of gifts."
All six girls' eyes widened as Sera spoke in excitement, "Whose a dragon?"
"Hemera and Hecate are accounted for so far," Tiamat said, her violet eyes gleaming. "Llyniel, Nefertiti, and Talila now have draconic blood running through their veins, thanks to the dragon tattoo and the rituals. You girls are destined to become the hope for a universe shrouded in darkness."
Tiamat stepped closer, her presence commanding as she addressed each of them. "When I was created, I was born in darkness and fought my way out alone," she began, her gaze fierce and unwavering. "But you girls have something I never had-friends, love, and Archer."
Her voice softened, becoming almost reverent. "I used to only imagine what hope was, but now, looking at you, I see it clearly. Archer with you girls beside him are the beacon in this encroaching darkness. Hold onto that hope, and you will make all the difference in this war. With that hope, you have a chance."
They all nodded in understanding, but Ella spoke up. "You talk about hope, but Archer brings hope to Thrylos. He's the master of his own fate, and you know this, Tiamat. No god or goddess will control his destiny-only he can."
Tiamat nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right. That's precisely why I chose him. We gods draw our power from you mortals, and Archer restored mine when he set foot on Thrylos. But I'm here to help him. The others are heading for Verdantia, where your true battle awaits." The girls watched as the dragon goddess began to chant. A soft glow enveloped each of them, and Tiamat smiled. "I have blessed each of you. This will hide you from the Light and Dark Gods who would have sensed you the moment you got closer to the continent."
They all nodded and thanked the dragon goddess, who vanished with a smile. Once she was gone, Ella spoke, "Lly, did you and Hali get the Rainbow Swamp Moss?"
"Yes, El," the wood elf took out a bag full of colorful moss. "We collected as much as we could."
"Good," Ella said before looking at Leira, "Get the heart, and let's get back to the ships." After that, the six girls stared at Ashoka, who was smiling, "Can I join you? The empire is hostile toward my faction."
They all nodded before heading back to Tigerclaw Bay. While running, Ella turned to the tiger woman and asked, "Where are your people?"
"Heading to Draconia, we're looking for refuge, and a merchant suggested your husband's kingdom," Ashoka said.
Ella nodded and asked no more questions as the group exited the jungle. Once outside, Nala and Leira transformed into their Primal forms, ready to make the journey back to the city swiftly. Llyniel, Ella, and Ashoka climbed onto Nala while Sera and Halime mounted Leira.
The two Primal forms took off with their passengers secure, skillfully weaving through merchant caravans as they traveled. While traveling, Ella sent the Dragon Marines to take over the harbor in case anyone attacked.
As she transmitted the message, explosions erupted around them, causing her to drop the Mana Radio. Leira and Nala swiftly maneuvered to avoid several mana shells that crashed nearby, prompting Ashoka to alert them, "Mana Cannons! The Ganesha army is here."
Before Maeve could react, the newcomer spoke with a proud smile on her beautiful face, "The bloodlines are ready. They are ready to transform."
With a wave of her hand, the woman lifted Nefertiti and Talila, and light radiated from their
bodies.

[Kassandra, Demetra, Teuila and Hemera's POV]
The four girls traveled beneath the sea to avoid the numerous ships on the surface. Looking upward, Hemera asked the others, "Who do they belong to?"
"Nightshade, Novgorod, and the Church of Light ships," Demetra answered, her gaze fixed ahead where a giant whale loomed in the distance.
Following the Demon Shark's words, the three nodded in understanding before swiftly
ascending to the surface. Demetra tore through one of the larger ships with formidable strength while Kassandra unleashed destruction upon several others.
Teuila darted through the water like a missile, viciously biting any ship within reach. Hemera leaped into the air as she breached the surface, transforming into her Sun Dragon form. From above, she unleashed torrents of fire that engulfed the shocked navy.
Her flames cascaded over the surface, spreading like a wave of destruction. Below, the
combined efforts of the three girls annihilated the enemy fleet, but soon, two bright lights illuminated the surrounding sea.
The four looked towards the lights as Hemera returned to her humanoid form, only to witness
a silver dragon unleashing devastating Sun Blasts and Lunar Beams upon the ships. Chaos erupted on the surface as ships burned.
Kassandra exclaimed, "Talila transformed just like Hemera did!"
But that wasn't the only shock; a larger black dragon emerged behind Talila, its eyes glowing pink. Demetra, stunned by the sight, muttered, "A demon dragon. Did Nefertiti also
transform?"
In the next instant, a third dragon materialized, its dark grey scales glinting ominously under
the sun, its eyes glowing a fierce red. The trio of dragons swooped down upon the remaining enemy ships, their claws ripping through hulls and sails with devastating force.
The vessels were no match for the combined might of the dragons. In a scene of chaos and
destruction, the enemy fleet was decimated, sinking into the depths of the sea. The girls celebrated amidst the sea spray and smoldering wreckage.
