The words hung in the air. Aria could feel fear emanating from Father Dimtiri, or was it her? The decision was easy. But the words failed her. To deny her training would be to deny everything she'd worked for. And Ascendancy was a threat if prophecy was to be believed. He was a proclaimed monster. There were no doubts in Aria's mind that Ascendancy should go down. But every single one of them? There had to be a better way. Did her savior, Dane, Jensen or Giovanni deserve to die just for being. Aria didn't believe so, she didn't believe God thought so either.
Aria was firm in her mind, she knew she was right, and that her superior was short sighted. There was little time for panic. Little time to do much more than quickly digest the decision before her. She knew she had to accept, it was her life, it could mean the life of those she cared about. However few and far between those souls were. It was the the pure existence of humanity that hung in the balance. Ascendancy was trouble.
Aria knew her knees were trembling. She tried to hide the fear she knew was written on her face. Declining meant death, accepting had very few other options. But there was a hope, and that was all Aria needed. "I will accept."
Thoughts started to form in her mind. Strategy was never her strong suit, but there was no time like the present to start to master the talent. Maybe she could find the right resource. "I can use any resources at my disposal?"
So many thoughts so many things could go wrong.
Aria wondered if this was the first attempt at Ascendancy, she doubted she was, and she doubted she would be the last. It would be a good end to a miserable life. Go out with a bang. She smiled, for the first time there was true purpose to her life.
