Amalia
a certain darkness is needed to see the stars
✩
No way to return to Mort- "What does happen to them, when they die?" She remembers clutching the Ascended's head, bringing it to Frey in hopes he might have closure. Sam had believed he would be with the Voice forever, but what if he isn't? What if there truly is nothing to be had?
It sounds like a form of slavery, this thing the Voice has done. Like indentured servitude, like serfdom- like something Zariah might have stood for. It makes Amalia sick.
She wants to help him, but the goddess has made it clear there is little she can do. Another lost cause. "I don't understand it. If the Voice is so powerful, why can't she control the LongNight monsters? Why couldn't she stop the Blight? It's hard to imagine she was ever strong enough to stand against Mort and Vi."
