The memories hit her like lightning.
Lara screamed, and Moonfire erupted from her body, brighter and hotter than ever.
Dragoth recoiled, roaring as the light seared his scales. Vorlag's confident smile faltered for the first time.
Lara turned to the woman.
"Mother…" she said, her voice trembling.
Her mother nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Lara's eyes flared blue, her voice suddenly turned deep.
"Enough, Vorlag. You are a virus, refusing to die. This ends now."
Vorlag's jaw tightened, rage coiling through him.
"Kill her. Now!"
Dragoth lunged, fire roaring in his chest, hotter and stronger than before.
Lara channels the Moonfire through her staff and her body. The energy lashes out, striking Dragoth mid-lunge. The dragon screams, it's flames scattering harmlessly.
She squeezed the staff tightly. In an instant, it vanished, merging into her. Nymeria burst forth, larger than ever. Her white fur shone like moonlight, fangs bared, eyes blazing.
