Aria watched Nox, whatever Ascendancy was doing had him in a state that rivaled something completely different. He could barely sit still even with bound hands and feet. It was interesting seeing the overly confident man become the childlike boy, eager to learn... Aria turned to watch Ascendancy but she couldn't see anything that he was doing until the dirt started to move and he picked up something from the earth and cleaned it with his fingers.
The tiny object floated in front of Aria on wings of unseen power. Aria shivered. It was one thing for Nox to show off, but this, this was far scary, this was Apollyon, the Destroyer, end of days where heralded by his appearance. Doom and destruction, and Aria could feel the parchment she'd felt. The scared tattoo in the video flashed into her memory. The burning man, the power that Ascendancy wielded was scary, and the man in front of her wielded that power with untold knowledge, she could feel it in Nox, the awe and the dread and the fear, but he was eager not completely afraid though he should be. They could die this day and for what, for nothing.
Ascendancy asked her about the tiny hourglass symbol, and spoke in Latin, something about the moment of death, at least that was the best she could translate it. Aria looked up at the man towering above her. "Should I? An hourglass represents time. As does the oroborous tattoo'd on three out of four of our arms, but that is the only connection I can give you to what I could possibly have with that symbol."
Aria wondered what this had to do with the destruction of the monastary. "Those men attacked you? You destroyed the monastary because of them. They wore that symbol."
Aria smiled, "A faction with in the Atharim? How interesting."
If it were the case she wondered what side of the lines drawn by the Atharim they stood upon. If they attacked Ascendancy, Aria wasn't sure she believed they were on her side.
"I know nothing of your symbol or the true meaning of the Latin you speak. And I doubt the Atharim's data for field hunters that I have at my fingertips will yield anything. But you never know, there is no harm in looking."
