Cain had a point. He wasn't to be trusted. He didn't even trust himself, yet he felt angry when his moral compass was called into question. They were not privy to what he thought or what decisions he'd made. His compass always pointed in one direction - himself. He knew he was an egotistical bastard and he knew exactly why he was the way he was it had little to do with upbringing and more to do with the fact that he didn't care what other people thought.
Nox shook off the anger and continued the rest of the way out of the tunnels into the blinding light of the market area. The noise was still low enough that it didn't pierce through their conversation, but it covered enough that they could still talk freely. Nox headed for a nearby bar, there were always places open. He didn't intend to get drunk but at least it would lessen the fact that he'd threatened a man and let Dane kill another. He sighed inwardly - he hated killing but his life was on the line.
Cain asked about registering with the Ascendancy. "Registering with the CCD or any organization that you can wield the power of the gods is signing your life away. It is proof to the Atharim that you are what they suspect of you. The Atharim have eyes and ears everywhere. In every country, in every city and in every major organization across the globe. The Old world Atharim are connected, the new world not so much. If you want to stay hidden for as long as possible you go to the States and find a quiet place to die alone."
Nox shook his head. "But no I will not be registering. The Ascendancy already knows who I am, who I work for and he knows how to contact me. Ascendancy cannot protect you from the Atharim unless he hides you in his hidden bunkered facility he took Aria. And then you are essentially a prisoner. I've chosen my side, but I know nothing other than being Atharim, so I will keep being Atharim until they start hunting me down for either being a god, or because I've let too many gods live."
Nox was tired of talking thankfully the sounds and smells of a pub came into range and Nox turned them in that direction. He opened the door and waited to see who joined him.
