AMALIA
THE SHIELD OF SAFRIN
i think it's beautiful how a star's light
It is time.travels the universe long after it dies
She has put it off for weeks and months, one disaster after another delaying this relatively minor task. But it has been in the back of her mind that whole time, weighing down against her thoughts. The books, the library, the promise to Safrin to get them back...
Running a hand through her hair, Amalia exhales a plume of frost into the chill morning air. It is nearly Deepfrost, and the chill that bites at her exposed cheeks carries promise of snow soon to come. Glancing back at those who accompany her - friends and allies old and new - the Shield nods her head. "Ready?" she asks, awaiting confirmation before leading them into the dark. And to Jigano specifically, holding out her shield and crystal pendant: "Load me up? Just in case." She'll let him choose the magic he loans her; she trusts him to know what they might need.

That's what I want to be in this world —
someone whose light lingers after I'm gone
