On The Shoulders of Giants 43: You Don't Have To Be Alone

Amatyne the Sunturion walks her patrol across the sky, tied sandals brushing silently against starry half-roads. Her brilliant spear hangs heavy in her hand, and she looks dearly forward to rest. In the world below, the New Titans fight desperately against the forces of Anguish, the forces that drove her to take up this patrol in the first place, and Amatyne aches that she cannot be there to more directly assist her bygone charges.

Amatyne looks down at the world below, keeping pace, watching the old machines wage their time-old war again. She sees Florian there, in the Coruscate Chevalier, fighting side-by-side with the Bulwark Tempest just as the old days, and Amatyne cannot help but feel a swell of pride within her heart. That is her girl, there. Her beloved knight. Still fighting after so long, just like her.

The Queen Deposed, the Knight Made New, Amatyne readjusts her grip on her spear. She tightens her fingers around her shield, the burning corona of molten light no more trouble to her than a candle at midnight.

With a smile on her lips, she continues her patrol.
