She was really going to do this. She was going to set the Regus and Martin Borovsky up for their deaths. Instead of hers. She just had to think up a viable excuse to only take those two. Or even come at all. Given the intel she has the Regus could just take it upon himself. She had to make herself valuable enough to listen to and do as she asks.
Aria heard the distinct change in the man's voice. He'd been holding the power. It was much like being in her own bubble. Aria wondered how similar they were - Nox always failed at attaining it no matter how hard she tried to teach him.
What did she think the Atharim were supposed to be? Not hunting humans for the sake of hunting them because they were different. Sentient, Furia, Wolfkin and Reborn gods were all human to most extents. Some went rogue but not everyone of them did. The Atharim shouldn't be judge jury and executioner not to those with human souls. Aria might make the case with Rouguaru or human infected chupakbaras if a cure for either were ever found. And the Atharim are not actively looking for a cure.
Aria wasn't sure if she should be completely honest in this moment. Her ability as he spoke of was on the fritz. Aria wasn't a leader... Aria sighed with her decision "Since we are laying our cards on the table. Two days ago I found my father. I killed him for his actions. A feat Martin Borovsky couldn't even manage or my mother."
Aria could hear the bravado in her own voice. It was bragging. She had that right. And she intended it to be the first words out of her mouth when she spoke with her handler next."Sadly if not for the help of a man like yourself I'd be dead or dying in the tunnels where my father lay in his eternal grave. He healed me, but in his effort he did something else to me. My ability to feel others is muted. Temporarily or permanent I do not know. I just know that it's empty now. I'm empty. I don't know what that changes for you. But know I have the resources to keep the Atharim in check even if they never return. I may not wield your power but loyalty is something just as strong."
She knew Nox would stand by her side. Knew he would protect the new Atharim as Ascendancy saw it.
