i sailed seas of emotion to wander a forest of scars
i am a dance of light and darkness
For a moment, Amalia is frozen in fear.
Fire within, darkness without- and as the blaze begins she is thrown back to the year before, to red light and whispering voices and flames that licked wildly at them all and death. How many were lost each year to LongNight? How many had she seen disappear?
She cheated death last year. How foolish was she, to think it would be the same now?
No. No. The moment, the terror, the gripping in her heart- she shakes it off, blinks it away, shoves her unresolved fears into the deep part of her heart. Now is not the time to remember; now is the time to act.
Leaping to her feet as the commotion begins, Amalia attempts to take stock of what's happening, her mind working rapidly through the haze of terror and smoke. Jyo, go help with the luxere, she calls, grabbing her staff and throwing her shield over her arm. She has to make sure everyone is safe. She has to get them out.
She has to get him out.
"Deimos!" Making her way toward the back of the hall where she saw the Sword disappear moments before, the baker grabs her lover's arm and tugs urgently upon it, trying to guide him out of this unnatural blaze. "We have to go- please. We have to keep the others safe."
Jyoti goes to help sing to the luxere. Amalia tries to pull Deimos out of the hall.
