AmaLiA
the shield of safrin
Amalia sits before the shrine just as she has on countless other occasions, her legs crossed beneath her, her staff on her lap. Dark eyes close as the girl breathes deeply, though whether to clear her mind or to hide her fear remains uncertain. The last time she was here had been disaster and brimstone, and despite the fact that the Blight seems to be clearing, she has no guarantee that her goddess is well. The idea terrifies Amalia because of what it means, both for Safrin and herself.
Because she has made promises she must keep, as impossible as those vows may be.
A small herd of luxere surrounds the shrine, and the girl focuses on their sound as she tries to still her thoughts. Inhale, exhale: Jyoti is helpful, calming starlight flooding the shrine both from their light fixture and the small whale. Still the Shield can feel her heartbeat thundering in her chest, and she wonders if Safrin can hear it, too. It is the only offering she makes today, song and supplication absent from her tongue. Everything feels too small and self-centered, as though she believes anything she can give is adequate for the being who has gifted her so much. All she has to give is herself, as little as she may be.
