Every so often, a massive pulse of radiant blood energy would erupt from her body, rush out of the cavern, and spread into the skies above Dreadmoor Hollow.

It was nothing short of a miracle.
By this point, news that Princess Celeste's bloodline was undergoing an ascension had reached nearly everyone in Dreadmoor Hollow.
