The transformation of the Empress was grand!
It started at the center of the illusory shape that had been holding her together for eight summers, and it moved outward from there. Skin formed first, radiant white-gold rather than the tone she had carried in her old life, spreading across the will and Mana that had been all that remained of her.
Bone followed beneath it, building structure where there had been only effort, giving her soul something to rest inside for the first time since the demons had torn her body away. The obsidian rivers of Pure Primordial Essence poured into her without pause, and where they touched the forming body, the body became more than a body. It became the body of something that had been elevated rather than restored.
Her stature began to expand.
