Things hadn't gone well with Dane. Aria pushed it away as she did everything else. She didn't want to deal with him, didn't want to deal with anything for that matter. She wanted to hunt, more precisely she wanted to extract her own anger on someone, or something. What was left of her humanity tugged at her from every direction.
It was nothing now, there was only anger. At herself, at him, at the world. It was done. The line crossed, there was no way back. Four souls dead at her hand.
Aria stalked through the streets during the day. The sun was bright in the winter sky, but it held little warmth, it just meant snow was not falling. It didn't fit her mood, she descended into the Undercity in hopes to find something dark and dangerous to fight.
Anger, hate, fear, pain, frustration, sadness. It all coursed through Aria's body, her own emotions returned with the anger, the frustration of the moment. It pounded her soul. Tears fell for the first time, but Aria moved in the shadows of the first level. Her senses stretched wide. Aria checked the sword at her hip to make sure it was clear, the soft sound of metal on metal made her heart sing.
There was only one things to do. Something had to pay. Something had to take the anger, the hate. She had decided to pursue her goals, before ever meeting Dane. But there was no turning back, her life was forfeit, it meant nothing now. It wasn't the Atharim she strove for, but for the eradication of monsters. To preserve humanity in all its incarnations. Eradicate those truly worthy of death, someone like herself. Redemption was not possible. But the pain and suffering of those like her was.
Aria wandered the tunnels avoiding people. Which to say the least was not very hard, they avoided her as much as she avoided them.
The tunnels were dark and dank, it fit her mood perfectly. But there was hide nor hair of monster to be found. Aria went deeper in the tunnels. There had to be something to fight, something to kill.
At the far edge of her senses, Aria found a hulking creature, something she'd only felt once, just before it's death. She could feel the massive hunger, the feel of the monster's prey. Aria drew her sword, it was still far away. She moved quickly in the shadows. The creature getting closer, its prey reaching the edges of her senses. Three souls in front of it. But she couldn't read more than that.
Aria took alternate tunnels to get in front of the beast. There was a large cavern in front of the Oni. Aria glimpsed it's huge hulking form in the shadows. She wanted to stop it before it reached close to the flickering lights inside the cavern. The three others would likely hear the commotion, but hopefully they would scatter. One could only hope. It was a good day to die. Oni were fast and strong and known for their ferocity. Legends said they were invincible and undefeatable, but there really was only one way to find out.
Aria picked up a large rock and tossed it into the tunnel in front of her. The Oni turned and saw closer prey. It smiled its gnarled teeth at Aria and she smiled back. It would definitely be a good day to die. Aria didn't wait, she struck first, her sword whirling and catching the beast its left arm, and the fight was on...
((In terms of location, Aria's in another branch off the cavern Serena's in))
