the darkest nights produce the brightest stars
More appear, soldiers she would have preferred not to fight this battle beside. Why the Ascended have come en masse Amalia does not know; it makes the hair on her neck stand up, especially when Sam begins to threaten to summon down The Voice. How can threats of violence help? What good do they hope to do?
At least Wessex, she hopes, is smarter than this. Can understand what it will mean, should the Temple fall.
At least she has Jigano there. Don't let him bring it down, she pleads, watching the Loreseeker approach the further away demigod. Hands raised both to calm Ronin and the others behind her, Amalia steps toward the figure who still speaks to them, her dark eyes pleading. "This doesn't have to happen," she says. "Forget the gods- there are people in the Temple. In the infirmary. Injured people. Remi is in there, Ronin." Alive.
Meanwhile a silver bullet has flown in beside Jigano, Jyoti joining the fray with a baleful cry of loss and empathy. Her voice carrying she exhales all the starlight she can muster, hoping to calm the wounded humans, to keep her earthbound family safe.
Amalia tries to tell Ronin 1 to stop, and that Remi is in the infirmary.
Jyoti tries to calm Ronin 2 with starlight
