Amalia
'Cause she's just like the weather
Can't hold her together
Born from dark water
Daughter of the r a i n and s n o w
She's relieved to see Seren recover so quickly; a part of Amalia had clenched in sheer terror as the girl - Safrin's daughter - went tumbling head over heels. The last thing she needed was to wound her goddess' offspring, and that wasn't even considering what the weight of Ronin's wrath might be. Last time he had lost a daughter, the Dark Star's rage had snapped her spine. So perhaps Amalia's anxiety is well warranted, for once.Can't hold her together

Which isn't to say she stands idly by as the girl attacks again, this time in the company of two creatures of starlight. Amalia's eyes widen a fraction in awe and delight at the appearance of the wolves, only to narrow back down as the beasts run toward her, beautiful and dangerous.
The first comes in on her left; Amalia extends a tawny wing in retaliation, attempting to slap it to the side (or cause it to dissipate? She isn't sure). The second is more troublesome, taking advantage of the Shield's distracted state. She stumbles back and spins around, her right wing now joining in the fray, snapping out with whip-crack speed to shield her from the onslaught and, hopefully, shove the wolf back. Summons the guardian of Life is less concerned in saving - though she still tries to pull her punches, waiting to debilitate rather than destroy.
All of this distraction works well in Seren's favor. It is only out of the corner of her eye that Amalia sees the girl press forward, toward the Angel and the edge. But the blonde does not retreat: rather, she throws her arms in front of her face defensively, for all the world appearing to have surrendered to her fate. But over her arms and before her chest a shimmering shape will form, translucent yet tangible, a shield of hard light held against the dark-haired youth. Thus shielded, Amalia digs her heels into the stone and braces for impact. What better way to teach defenses, than to become one herself?
