Far away in the depths of the Gen Temple.
In the depths of the Sacred Garden of Salvation, a meditating woman opened her eyes with alarm.
Bodhisattva Maitreyi's hand flew to her heart.
She gazed in the direction of the Gu.
A single whisper escaped her.
"Amare…!"
It was a technique of love.
Their hearts were connected through the light they shared.
In that moment, she knew with all her heart that her precious granddaughter was dying.
BADUMP!!!
Her Heart, Mind, and Soul surged all at once.
"Heavenly Step of Boundless Light."
In the blink of an eye, the very root of her existence changed.
One moment, she was comprised of materia.
The very next, she became light.
VMMMMMM!!!!!!!
Every molecule.
Every atom.
Every electron.
They were all converted into pure light.
An extraordinary beam of light that warped the very fabric of space and time.
It surged forth.
It surged forth at extraordinary speeds.
It surged forth in the direction of the Gu.
