"I can set up the basic structure, but it is like creating a mold. I need you to fill it." He replies, going to work.
As his hands weave, his own numbingly cold power wraps around him in a chilling blanket, preparing him for the struggle ahead. Slowly, the image of a world appears before them. Kero is tiring fast, but the image is there, ready for Lyssan to work her creative magic on.

Lyssan's work is of the up close and personal variety. She doesn't like working from a distance. The possibility for error is lessened considerably when she can see what she's doing. So once he sets up the framework, she floats into the picture and examines what he has given her to work with.
Then with her arm outstretched, she begins to fill in the gaps in the web of Kero's efforts, looking very much like someone who is painting a paint by number item. It is hard though, for she's always been more of an an original creationist, and this painstaking go by the book type of work drains her far faster than her normal mode of construction. Jor soon finds her pulling on his energy, far sooner in fact than he thought she would in reality. All those years of living on the verge of depletion, to avoid draining Amestru, have taken their toll on the Lady Inari's ability to store what she needs.

Jor, however, has the entirety of the Voidic realm to draw on for sustenance, and so is okay. Drained, but okay, and so the world begins to take shape, rebuilt by Inari and guided by Kerobian. It is a major operation to the extreme, but it will be worth it, there is no doubt about that.

With Kero watching and guiding Lyssan over her shoulder, the task goes smoothly, but it is soon obvious that she is using up her stores of power far faster than Jor can replace it. She's trying to get the task done as fast as she can, so she doesn't worry Amestru anymore than she has. But she seems to have miscalculated, not to be unexpected, as she hasn't done anything on this scale since the construction of Elysium back in her younger years.

Seeing her in distress, Kero makes a serious decision, and nods. Stopping time for a brief moment around himself, he constructs a note to his beloved, apologizing for his time of passage. He knows he will likely die for doing this, but he is prepared.
And so, teleporting the note to his desk, he connects himself to Lyssan, sending her his life force. As much as he can stand to give. Almost a million years worth of life, collapsed down to a single instant to power a spell.

And meets a wall of resistance so strange and so dense, it all comes rushing back at him in a powerful backlash. Too late he remembers that she's been warded against him for some time now, to prevent him from doing something exactly like this.
"I can only draw from one I am intimately connected to...." echoes her words in his mind as his consciousness fades.
