Ah Ya hugged her tightly, tears streaming silently down her face. "Yes! It's... a great being... saying goodbye to us..."
The other survivors also stopped what they were doing.
Some fell to their knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Others stood frozen in place, faces slick with tears but unable to make a sound.
Some clung tightly to the children or partners beside them, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
There was no clamor, no chaos, only the sound of whimpering shrouded in immense sorrow.
In the sky, the rain of golden light grew denser, finally coalescing into a colossal, indistinct female apparition.
The apparition was immense, suspended high in the celestial vault.
Her silhouette was gentle, her long hair cascaded like a river of stars, and her eyes flowed with endless compassion and grief.
She looked down upon the ravaged land.
A voice, filled with infinite age and a sense of finality, echoed in the depths of every person's Soul.
