The plane ride was tiresome and there were reports to file and interviews to take before he found himself back in Moscow. There was a never ending stream of things to do and Li was more than happy to speak with his companion. He had never truly met someone such as himself before. He knew they existed. Knew they were hunted. But he'd never actually spoken to another like him.
Jaxen spoke of Ancient powers and ancient ones. Li wondered where he'd heard the terms. Gods, reborn gods, reborn powers those were the terms of the Atharim. Ancient while they might be were not used. Ancient was almost revered where as the gods were despised for what they'd done to humanity so many moons ago. The Atharim were the balance. Li was proud of that fact, but how did one navigate the treacherous waters when your life was balanced and your calling said otherwise. It was a difficult situation.
Li smiled at the other man. "Very carefully."
Li took a sip of his water with lemon and continued. "I learned of it like I'm sure you did. Weird occurrences, sickness and then some epiphany later it just works. I had the distinct advantage of knowing what I was when I understood what I had done. I fled to learn all I could. And in learning about myself I learned to keep it a secret. If the wrong eyes see , or the wrong ears hear, you lose yourself and those you love. The Atharim do not take kindly to our kind."

“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
