A smile of relief played across Aria's face. He knew about the Atharim, which was both good and bad. Good because she didn't have to explain, and the worst part of it is she hadn't done all her research properly. It would be another three of four days of combing through the Atharim's files, ones that had not been given to her. There were many people surrounding Ascendancy and Aria had to know who knew about them.
"I am not like any hunter you have met or ever will met again."
Aria's smile brightened, it was not a boast on her skills more an insult to herself, one she was fully aware of. She was the wolf in sheep's clothes as they say, she was a monster to be hunted who lived among them, was one of them, and will more than likely die in a mission as one of them. But she was far from one of them now. She was Sentient, and she was only alive by the grace of the Regus. It wasn't with his blessing she walked this earth, but his mercy. Aria only hoped that she didn't anger the man who has been rumored to kill his own for not taking orders.
Aria looked up at the rooftops directly across from them. It was dark she didn't expect to see anything. "I expect your man on the roof has a rifle pointed at my head. At some point I will need to get my wallet from my pocket and send a text to have this cleaned up."
She returned her gaze to Takeo. "This was no hunter's kill."
Aria turned back towards the dranaika and brushed her hair away from her eyes. "No hunter would leave a body lying around. No hunter would leave the murder weapon lying on the ground."
Aria held the knife up by the two fingers at the base of the handle. "No single hunter could kill a dranaika by themselves. They have the gift of foresight. It takes more than one human to take out a dranaika, and a brilliant plan that it cannot foresee."
Aria stood and turned to look at Takeo. "Something else killed this. And whatever it was, I cannot sense, and that is troublesome."
"I need to get my wallet now. I'd appreciate it if you could call your man off. He's very anxious, and I'd rather not die tonight."
