Chapter 26: The Fragment Of Light (2)

As Charlotte ran towards the Fragment, several hundred massive glowing white magic circles from miles behind the Fragment. Every single one began pulsing as a small ball of light emerged from them. Every second that passed made them grow larger and brighter, as the dark skies that obscured heaven parted.

Rings of liquid light emerged out of thin air, each one progressively smaller the higher it went. They surrounded the glassed desert, and on each ring, thousands of figures emerged from each. Charlotte couldn't quite make it well from this distance, but it looked like they had... wings and halos? They looked oddly familiar, similar to the ones that adorned the glass and walls of the cathedral...

She let out a gasp as she remembered. Angels. The angels themselves have descended. An eery chant of an unknown language began to fill the desert, as multiple organs and various instruments made of pure light followed suit. A whitish-gold light shone down from the heavens, reflecting off the glass which made it hard to see.
