"First tell me what you meant by changed her heart. Why would the Atharim try to go after your family if you're not...reborn gods or whatever?"
Not a stupid man, Alex grinned at him. "Very astute. My family are not reborn gods, the Atharim call us Sentient. We have a keen talent dealing with emotions. I can read your emotions, I can dig into your heart and pull out the deepest secret emotions lying there. I can discern whether or not you are lying. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. My father, he can make you feel something permanently changing a memory's emotion so that you remember what he wants you too. That's what he did to the hunter who came."
Alex took a deep breath and pushed back the anger in her voice. "He made the hunter fall in love with him. So much so that they shared a bed, and she became with child. My father turned her away, made her leave and run from the Atharim expecting she and the child to die for her failure. Sadly that wasn't the case, and her progeny is walking the streets of Moscow with a knotted snake biting its own tail on her forearm."
The venom poured into her words. Alex didn't know why she disliked this girl so much. It was probably the fact that she reminded Alex of her father so much. So much like him.
