Tremulous light devoured Aria's body, cracking her bones. She ground her teeth as untamed power slithered in her veins like dragon fire.
Slowly, she crumbled into ash.
Aria burned, bright and strong — a star at the precipice of rupturing into a million pieces. She shed her human coat like a sun molting its surface in piercing light rays into the darkness.
Nature's essence merged with her bone, skin, and blood and shattered her.
In the ashes that remained, she was transformed, she was reborn. She became whole.
Aria stood at the center of the black stone throne room. The light rippled in harsh waves from her body, crushing into everything in its wake. Everyone struggled to stand. The chaotic energy wrecked into their bodies, forcing them down.
Elvin's every bone shook, and his heart halted. The instant Aria burst into light, his soul pulsed, resonating with hers. But not faint like before. This felt different. Permanent.
Warmth kissed his skin like it was him being bathed in light. Under the blanket of heat, pain and anguish stabbed through his heart. It was her's — Aria's. His love. His melissë. Every one of Aria's thoughts married with his own. Lily, I'm sorry. I am sorry.
It hurts.
I'm sorry.
Every one of her loud cries was a whisper in his mind. It tore him to shreds. Elvin wanted to take her in his arms and shelter her from her pain.
Lily, I'm sorry.
Elvin stretched his hand to reach Aria. He needed to reach her His legs shook under the pounding pressure. Energetic wave after wave slammed against his broad chest. "ARIA!" He called. His skin scorched, yet, he pushed through the pain. His long fingers grasped Aria's wrist.
He gasped in bewilderment. Aria was light itself. Pure wild light.
White shimmering daylight in the form of a high fae.
