AMALIA
THE SHIELD OF SAFRIN
i think it's beautiful how a star's light
My name is Amalia. Safrin sent us to collect her books. Who are you? She itches to go closer, but at the same time she's reluctant to leave the books behind, as tempting as the voice in the pool is to explore more. She has a task to see to first, the collection of the tomes her primary concern: once that's done and her companions are safe, then she can go on.travels the universe long after it dies
Careful to give Tarasha space, she waits with the bag open to receive the book. At the same time she waits for an answer from the creature, deeply curious, Jyoti now skimming over the top of the pool.
Ama holds the bag to help Tarasha, and asks the thing in the pool who it is while Jyoti swims over the surface.
That's what I want to be in this world —
someone whose light lingers after I'm gone
