Aria nearly laughed at the wheel reference. She smiled. "Ancient text claim to believe that time is a circle, other's say it is like the sands in an hourglass. And the word of god says there was a beginning and there will be an end. I know there are ancient things I do not understand. I know that there are prophecies that are unfolding now. I have felt the end of things. Maybe not the end of time, but the end of what I know - death and destruction. War is coming."
Aria frowned at yet another oath. "And if I swear your oath, and your oath conflicts with my other oaths? The one that binds me to the Atharim?
Aria showed Manix her tattoo on her arm, the dueling dragons around the knotted snake eating it's own tale. "Or when the Ascendancy orders me to hurt one of your own? Who's oath take priority? What if one of your own hurt one of mine? Threaten those who I will not reveal."
Aria sighed, "I will give you help. I will not hurt your's, but I cannot take that oath. My loyalties are already spread too thin. On my honor I will not hurt you or yours and help you to the best of my ability. But another oath will mean nothing more than spoken words that can be broken when they conflict."
Aria stood up hoping that whatever was happening with her would at least let her out of this place unscathed if necessary. "And the final thing is you may not see our ancient archives. Unless you want to break in of your own free will to see them, you cannot. We aren't some library you can just waltz into. I can show you digital copies of things I have clearance too but even that is limited. But it is your choice as to whether this oath of your's is that important."
Aria was ready to leave if he so decided, and if necessary she would fight her way out. She had no intentions of dying her tonight.
