Chapter 32
Golden light burst across the battlefield.
It spread from Ariana like a rising sun, pouring over the mountain peaks and filling the sky with warm brilliance.
For a moment the entire war stopped.
Dragons froze in the air.
Abyss beasts hesitated.
Even the wind seemed to grow quiet.
The golden energy climbed higher into the sky.
Then it spread outward like a massive wave.
The light touched the wounded dragons first.
A royal dragon falling toward the ground suddenly slowed.
Golden energy wrapped around its broken wing.
Bone and scale began to mend.
The dragon roared loudly as strength returned to its body.
Another dragon lying motionless on the mountainside suddenly stirred.
Golden light surrounded its chest.
Its eyes snapped open.
High above the battlefield dozens of royal dragons felt the same power.
Their wounds closed.
Burned scales repaired themselves.
Tired wings filled with strength again.
The dragons roared together.
