He had made his choice with long deliberation and full knowledge of the consequences. His gaze remained on his goddess but as he was drawn into her own starry eyes he saw, for a timeless moment, himself there. Not just as he had been, but a perfect reflection of what he could be with Safrin's grace.
What he would be, given the time to grow into the gifts she granted him.
He felt her voice within himself, echoing from his very core, and his soul sang like a struck chime: a single note of pure joy that went on and on as her starlight suffused him and remade him from the inside out.
Yes, he agreed with whole-hearted simplicity to her statement. To serve life, and the light. To serve Safrin, and Vi. What greater purpose could there be? What would you have me do?
