Safrin
Safrin’s expression darkened ever so slightly, a flicker of disappointment tempered by understanding. An attack on Starfall will be just that, she murmured, shaking her head, the water around them rippling with the faintest disturbance. You could carve through its depths, burn through its creatures, but the moment you withdraw, it will be as though you were never there. Her fingers, still lightly touching Hadama’s arm, trailed away as she tilted her head, eyes glinting with something sharper than sorrow. The void does not merely yield to force—it consumes, absorbs, and regrows.
Her gaze lifted slightly, as if peering through the dark waters to something far beyond. You know the nature of the sea, Hadama. It will reclaim what is left untended. The void is the same. She let a brief pause settle between them before continuing, her voice laced with quiet authority. The flower already placed upon the shoreline has created a foothold. You will be able to land without the island turning against you. But should you venture deeper without another flower to anchor your progress, you will lose every inch you gain the moment you step away.
Her lips pressed into a thin, thoughtful line. If you wish to truly cleanse Starfall, then every advance must be secured. Each flower you place will push the void back, creating pockets of safety. Without them, your efforts will only serve to stir the waters without changing the tide.
