The lizard was lying there on its side, completely half-dead from everything it had just gone through.
Its body was covered in burns and cuts, its scales cracked and broken in dozens of places. The green energy that had surrounded it was gone, leaving only the faint smell of burnt grass and melted stone in the air.
Neva floated down slowly, her body still glowing with golden light.
She landed on the lizard's head and placed one limb gently on its forehead.
"Sha Sha..." You were very strong. But you hurt my family. So Neva had to be stronger.
The golden circles in the sky started fading one by one.
The rusty gates closed slowly, the chains wrapping around them again before disappearing into nothingness. The massive blade above the valley broke apart into thousands of glittering golden sparks, raining down like fireworks before vanishing completely.
