The Regus took point, glancing through the door for any traps. She was sure he was trying his damnedest not to trust her. Aria really hadn't know about the beams. She didn't have any tech on her at the time. But when the Regus was done he pulled out a tablet of some sort. Not an electronic device something very old. Aria could feel the power and death emanating from it. She didn't want to touch it.
She took an involuntary step back. She didn't want to be anywhere near that thing. It was death and destruction like she'd only felt once before. It was suffocating.
Aria wished Dane were closer. She couldn't find his calm center. She hated that she saught him out. He'd been gone, and now he was back. Aria pulled herself back in focused her mind on the men around her. Their hatred and fury radiated from them. But she knew they were both excited and Aria knew something was still wrong with her senses. But she wasn't completely blind.
The Regus said something foreign and then they waited.... and waited. He looked back at Borovsky and Aria could feel a sense of shame and embarrassment before it all disappeared and a shadow formed and coalesced in front of them. Aria drew her sword.
Martin reached across her, his arm to block her path in warning. Aria didn't sheath her sword. Aria gasped in realization. Ijiraq were assassins. The Regus meant to sic it on Ascendancy. And Aria couldn't warn him. Fuck!
The creature spoke in the same foreign tongue the Regus had earlier. Aria could feel the distrust and the hatred wafting off the creature. Aria whispered. "It doesn't want to be here."
