AmaLiA
the archangel
Violence and anger are unsettling things, but what does it matter compared to the image of Arialla's body broken and bleeding in the sand? To the memory of Sam, fleeing a similar murder scene? Amalia's pale face is drawn and hard with determined fire, a flickering semblance of the impassioned girl who once stood in this skin. "If it saves one life or changes one mind, it is worth it," Amalia replies steadily, looking up to meet Gideon's eyes. "I'm not afraid."
Of many things, yes. But not of this.
Wessex is never a comfortable topic these days, and Amalia grimaces at the reminder of her relationship to the Queen. "Yes. Since I was born." She looks down at her hands in her lap, opening and closing them as she struggles to find words. "She... used to be like family to me. When I was young... before she changed. Before we both changed." Before she was a Shield and Wessex a Wraith, when things were simple and life was kind.
Casting her gaze toward the window, Amalia lets out a sigh. "I've lost so many people to the Voice," she murmurs sadly, as much to herself as to the Priest. "I used to think that I could save them, but now... now I'm beginning to see that freeing them and saving them might not be the same thing."
