Sister
The God released some kind of energy from his hand. Only, it wasn’t aimed at Kouga.
It was aimed at them.
It was then she remembered the gourd at her side.
Now seemed like as good a time as any to try it.
What she released from the gourd was a storm of lilac petals.
They obliterated the God’s attack.
For a brief moment they formed the shape of a young woman.
Rira.
Rira had given her a fragment of her sacred flower’s power.
It was like she was there beside her.
She wasn’t far away, probably worrying about her, she was right here.
Even now, she was trying to protect her. Not as the heir, but as her twin sister.
Even in a place like this, Rira had her back.
“Thank you,” she whispered.
“Anee-chan, your sister’s been praying for you this whole time; did you know that?” Tsuki said.
“No.”
“Her powers aren’t that strong, but she’s still doing her best. Kazuo’s leading the clan with the Elder and she’s leading the other ladies with Miho and Tomoe-chan. Ginta and Hakaku managed to do what I asked. Everyone is working together like you wanted.”
“Thank you, everyone.”
The God was looking more and more desperate to fend off the warriors’ attacks. The brides were still going strong with their song.
This was going to end soon.
