meet me where the falling stars live
i will wait for you
Amalia comes to the call, flying in on gilded wings, her offerings in hand.
Hope blooms radiant in her chest, a nervous prayer that this will be enough. She has heard that the last lily was placed, heard that the potential of salvation is upon them, and though Nate's message leaves an uncomfortable bite in the back of her mind, her faith in Rae and the Old Gods greatly outweighs her fear of any trick by the Voice.
But when she comes back to the arch Tanau isn't there.
Amalia lands upon the bank of the water, looking around with sharp dark eyes. From her basket she extracts her offerings: the beautiful opal she found in these caves, carved into a fiery bird, and a loaf of bread deftly woven into a ring, flavored with chili and herbs.
Then she steps onto the water, tawny wings outstretched. "Tanau," she calls, her low voice smoky, "Please help us, who have kept covenant with the Old Gods. Let our faith not have been in vain. Help us, as we helped you." Silently she adds, tears in closed eyes, As she helped you. Please.
