“Suddenly, Catty, Serena, and Vanessa broke into the room and ran toward her. Tianna sensed intuitively that they had come to rescue her, in spite of the danger to themselves. The three Daughters joined hands, forming a ring around Tianna, and together they repeated the prayer Maggie had taught them. Then, silver moonlight appeared, cascading through the tall, narrow windows, even though Tianna knew it was impossible. No moon glowed in Nefandus. The cleansing luminescence cradled her and filled her with unbearable love and happiness. She stretched her arms toward the light, longing for its touch, and anxious to fall back into eternity.
Catty, Vanessa, and Serena each whispered their good-byes, and then everything became blindingly bright, each tiny sound magnified a thousandfold. This time something pure and longed-for penetrated her chest, and she joyously released her soul. Her spirit retreated from her body and rode on tranquil moonbeams, flowing upward, the strength of the universe pulling her away.
At last, Selene reached down and took her home.”
― Lynne Ewing, The Becoming
