175 His restored power

Lavi's POV

I had been half conscious when Calla walked toward the light. When it went out and disappeared, I was suddenly fully awake, my ears still ringing from the kicks and punches I'd taken. 

I just didn't expect her whole being to shine. As though she had became the sun itself, come down to reap judgement upon evil. 

The moonlight streamed down from the hole above us, stars twinkling with serene gentleness. Unaware of the chaos in the mortal realm. 

Idris and his cronies gawked at the opening Calla had burrowed herself through. Then, as if they'd gained back the sense of reality, shouts of confusion and panic echoed against the walls.

The King's voice louder than all of them. Asking how she'd done it. How it happened. And "why" the power chose her. 

As though it wanted to be part of Calla. As though it had free will. And the power had chosen which side to take.
