It wasn't a physical warmth but an overwhelming surge of divine power, as if every ounce of her being was suddenly infused with a boundless, untapped energy.
Her heart, moments ago weak and faltering, now pounded with the strength of a war drum, and the darkness that was covering her vision was gone like it never existed.
Her mind cleared, and with it, an acute awareness of everything around her.

This newfound strength was intangible yet undeniable. It was like a force that bolstered her spirit, making her give up on everything she just thought or moments ago.
