AMALIA
THE SHIELD OF SAFRIN
i think it's beautiful how a star's light
The tone, the cadence... it sounds like something she knew in a dream, close enough to familiar that the Shield can almost taste it. What are you? A... a Tulmhainar? the girl asks eagerly, once again distracted from the books. How did you come to be here? And where are you? The water hardly seems large enough to house it.travels the universe long after it dies
"There's something in the water." Amalia looks between her companions, eyes sparkling with wonder. "Someone. After we get the books in the bag I want to go closer, to speak to it more.... and to keep exploring the rest of the library. You don't have to stay if you don't want to."
Amalia continues to question the creature and asks if it's a tulmhainar. She tells the others she will be staying to investigate more, and they can choose to stay or leave.
That's what I want to be in this world —
someone whose light lingers after I'm gone
