"The end of my world, here in the Hollowed Grounds. Perhaps the beginning of the end for those beyond the barrier too, if Amalia is correct. At the very least, bringing the barrier down and freeing the Voice would rekindle a conflict that has never settled, and three hundred years of peace would unravel."
Maea sighed. It was all so much bigger than her, so much more vast and complex than she could hope to fully comprehend. And in the end, there was really nothing she could do to prevent it from happening. All she could hope to do was bolster her kin before the change could overcome them, prepare for times of chaos and turmoil and hope that it might be enough...
Something in her eyes changed, a new determination kindling from the spark of her thoughts. She had suggested a Council once before... and perhaps it was time to but those thoughts into action.
