Hands laid upon her staunching the flow of blood. It was nice of the girl to rescue her now. But there was a warm feeling about her, and then the feeling of skin and organ knitting together like billions of little spiders crawling across her skin. She shivered and reviled at the sensation when she knew what was happening. Healing from a god. She was a god... and an Atharim.
Relief flooded her mind, but her body bore the tension of being at the hands of yet another god. If it were not for Jaxen's playfulness in the bedroom her reaction would have been instant. Her blades remained on the ground even as the girl submitted herself to her judgement. "What is your name? The one the Atharim would know?" Because obviously she was not in practice, nor was she going by the same name. And it wouldn't do to have her outed before she could determine what to do about it. Meek, trained, and a god. Could anything else be so perfect to fall into her lap?
Sure the men were powerful. Nox was trained and a god but was strong willed and needed to be put down. Though he had cleared the tunnels of vile creatures -- and survived. The last being key. He had ins with the Ascendancy himself and it would be to keep the boy on a leash. Maybe a stable of Atharim gods. It made Zef smile. And then there was Jaxen in all his glory. No training to speak of, only money and good genes. No a different stable perhaps.
New plans forming -- traitors and gods and the will of Atalanta.
