“The Aadya resonance of an entire planet—every mountain, every ocean, every grain of soil, every root system, every crystal formation—flooded through Prithvika's channel, through the boundary between worlds, through the chamber floor, and into Tanvi's body. Silver-white light blazed from her palms, her shoulders, her eyes, the crystal structures at her back. The Aadya script carved into the chamber's foundations—buried under three thousand years of Indradeva's modifications—blazed to life for the first time since the First Ones vanished.”
