Joy, wild desire, and horror spiral tandem over the fields of Coeia, when Malos sets thereupon.

Just as an angel - be not afraid - but this man is less holy, more corporeal. Miracles and signs present just as frequently as plain speech, fallen out precipitate of uncomfortable, blocky angles.

It is as if Malos's presence brings Amalthus out of his postures, and sets him down among the people again.

You must watch, just as all the others. You must pray, just as all the others.

You must wonder, just as all the others, where Malos will see fit to strike next.
