AmaLiA
the archangel
She's always known it, but never wanted to believe. That it was hopeless, that the Ascended - all the Ascended - had chosen to be what they are. That there was no way to save them from what they had become. That she has to let them go, to focus on protecting those who remain.
It hurts, and though Amalia nods she cannot meet his eyes. "Yes, Vi."
She falls silent then, letting the weight of this new knowledge settle, her breathing slowing as she steadies herself. There might have been tears in her eyes, but Amalia blinks them back before they can fall, biting hard on her lip. It isn't until she feels that she's come back under control that the Archangel looks once more upon her father, more questions bubbling slowly onto her tongue. "Father... I will devote myself to this cause, of course, but there are things I still wish to do outside of Stormbreak. A priest has asked me to help strike against the Voice, and Frey... but I do not have a way to leave." Cian had denied her, and she'd found no alternative. "If, if I may... I would ask a way to travel through Caido, like the compasses those of the Order hold. To better do your work."
