The explosion of light shot into the sky like a nuclear bomb made of pure energy.
Every shadow demon screamed and dissolved. The black sky turned brilliant white. And the light kept expanding.
"It's too bright!" Luna yelled, covering her eyes.
"I can't control it!" baby Sage cried, his truth-sight blazing out of control.
"Neither can I!" baby Blaze added, orange flames erupting from his tiny body.
The sanctuary walls exploded outward at the speed of light. The energy wave swept across the entire state. Then the entire country. Within seconds, it circled the globe.
"What have we done?" Phoenix whispered.
Every human on Earth saw the flash.
Every satellite captured it.
Every camera recorded it.
"The whole world just witnessed magic," Dr. Webb said in horror.
But that wasn't the worst part.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Emergency sirens started wailing. Military helicopters appeared on the horizon. News vans raced up the forest road.
