THE SHIELD OF SAFRIN
I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL HOW A STAR'S LIGHT
Trapped, like so many others here. Amalia's fists curl into balls, though her frustration is not aimed at the Herald. It is for herself, with a healthy dose to the Voice for putting into this situation to begin with. For creating the monsters and trapping them here, for capturing the Spark Bird just as it had captured her.travels the universe long after it dies
"You're right." Dark eyes are soft with honesty and humility as the girl looks up at Frey. "I do want the protection of the SparkBird. For my people, through LongNight. I have seen so many die to the monsters already... and this is the only way I know to keep them at bay.
"But I didn't know the bird was trapped, especially with the barrier down. And I... I'm sorry for that. If it will help us this LongNight - if there's a way - I will do everything I can to help bring it to its true home, when Flowerbirth comes. Wherever that is." It is too late to do anything before LongNight except try to survive. But if she can get them through this year in safety, it will be enough. The bird has been a blessing already; it, like them, deserves to be free.
that's what I want to be in this world —
SOMEONE WHOSE LIGHT LINGERS AFTER I'M GONE
