A soft light clung to her skin, a radiant afterglow that made it look like she had just been blessed by some divine entity. And then, poof!

"How are you feeling?" Serafine asked, watching Clara closely.
"I have to admit..." Clara took a slow breath, her body still tingling with something she couldn't quite explain. "I feel... connected..."
