While Vash bought them time, Yara's hands came together, her fingers weaving patterns that made the air itself shimmer.
"Sanctuary Spheres."
Her voice rang clear despite the chaos, her Aura flooding outward with precision.
Translucent bubbles erupted into existence around every person who needed protection.
Damian's world became enclosed in white as a barrier formed around him, the surface pulsing with warmth. Healing energy washed over his battered body, checking for injuries and stabilizing his breathing.
Around him, hundreds more spheres appeared in rapid succession.
Every child lifted into the air, suspended in their own protective bubble. The staff members, Granny Helena, Castor's broken form and Elizabeth who had fallen unconscious. Even Kuro got wrapped in one of the barriers, the raven's form going still inside the translucent shell.
'Kuro, get in my shadows.'
Damian's mental command cut through their bond.
'But Kuro want to–'
'Now.'
