SAFRIN
For those who are human, the reprieve from the hallowing darkness will last longer. For the goddess, the longest blighted of them and perhaps the worst case in existence, it is a mere breath.
Glaring down at the rose with the intent to crush it, suddenly starlight filters through into her soul. Fractured, stained, shadowed, but for a moment there is light. Releasing Amalia, Safrin pulls in a strangled breath as she looks down at her bloodied hands. "Amalia—" She whispers, fingers immediately pulling the girl against her in a tight hug. "Don't listen to anything I've said. Plant all the roses you can, take none of it to heart. Trust in Vi, and..." Pulling back the goddess does her best to smile. "..find a way to kill me, if I cannot be saved. Do not let me stay like this." Her fingers move to Amalia's shoulders, squeezing. "Promise me."
