As the last of her powers awakened, Alexa's body lifted slightly off the bed, her arms outstretched as golden light bathed the room. The divine energy surged again, threatening to break free from the barrier that Song and Mira had created.
But then, just as quickly as it had begun, the energy subsided. Alexa's body slowly lowered back onto the bed, the light around her dimming until it was no more than a faint glow. Her breathing steadied, and her Divine Eyes closed once again, the power within her retreating.
Pyris exhaled, his heart pounding in his chest. The danger had passed, but the shock of what had just occurred lingered.
Emberly stepped forward, her gaze lingering on Alexa's peaceful form. "She's more powerful than we ever imagined," she whispered. "We need to be careful."
Pyris nodded, still reeling from the intensity of it all. "She's connected to something far greater than we realized."
