the mission is destined to sail

Amalia I took the stars from our eyes and I made a map I knew that somehow I could find my way back Phoebe's departure is a surprise to the girl, and troubling with LongNight on the horizon. Though if it means Evie as a replacement... "Evie is loving in Halo, studying under Zariah." The distaste in Amalia's tone is clear as she mentions the Merciless. "But I'd be glad to ask if she'll take the role. It would be good to have her home." She glances at Sam with the flicker of a smile, then quickly returns to Rex. As the others discuss LongNight preparations Amalia listens quietly, only interrupting when Rexanna mentions Halo. "Remi has also offered Torchline for a haven," she says softly. "Though he asks those who intend to come arrive a week before, as he intends to close the portals." Their ideas are all good, but nothing new to the girl who has spent her life in the Grounds. It's Sam's argument that makes the most sense, though she disagrees with the final conclusion. "Some will stay regardless," Amalia agrees. "But at least one of us should go with each group, I think. To Halo and to Torchline. I promised Ronin I would remain here - he is helping Safrin protect the Grounds. Jigano, maybe you should go to Torchline? And Rexanna to Halo?" Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you
