when the light bends to shatter a soul
“A star magnolia.” Noah repeated thoughtfully, the name rolling slowly off his tongue. “That seems appropriate.” Safrin, the stars, something that would bloom instead of simply endure. He suspected she might appreciate the symbolism, especially knowing what Vi had placed over his life now.
Noah watched as Amhran crouched and reached into the ice box, his brows lifting slightly at the explanation. Trick the seed into thinking it was Deepfrost. When the Raeling lifted the small container, Noah stepped a little closer, bending slightly at the waist to look at it. For something that might one day become a tree, it looked unimpressive. Straightening again, the hunter said, “I don’t mind the patience. Halo teaches you that whether you want it to or not.” His voice carried a deep certainty.
“If these are ready, then I’ll try it.” A faint smile tugged at his mouth, and he gestured toward the soil box. “You’ll have to show me where to start.” He would follow all of Amhran's instructions. The Raeling wouldn't have to do any of the work, just tell the Sentinel what to do.
