As the rest of the throng took their seats Aurora caught sight of a few people she had not expected to see. John walked in Aurora did a double take. What the...
But John was hardly the biggest surprise, there had been a knowing something about him the whole time, he never once called her crazy despite his misdirection. But the man whom she'd met with Sebastian. Holy! She prayed that Bas had not given away too much, or herself. Living hell! She'd healed Sebastian in front of the man, it wasn't visible healing, he hadn't had injury that closed, but she'd used the power in front of another Atharim.
And the Regus began to speak and Aurora knew the world was about to end.
Aurora fought to keep her emotions in check, the Regus spoke of Gods long past of corruption cause by the power of their reign. And here two or more sat in the middle of this throng, her heart sank, but she stared at the Regus praying that there was no indication of what she was on her face.
Aria's hand snunk over the back of her brother's chair and touched her shoulder lightly. The world seemed to calm, she felt more herself, the fear and the worry left in a wash of something. Aurora leaned forward and looked at Aria. She calmly watched the Regus, her secret was know to him, yet she sat there unmoved by his words. Aurora leaned back and Aria's hand found her shoulder again. The world calmed and Aurora let it. She didn't fight the calm Aria offered. She put her hand on Aria's and the world felt better, the three of them would survive if they stuck together, she was certain of that. Aria would be an asset, she had to be.
But her terror filled her inside. Despite the calming affect it did not drench her soul into calm, it fought her and the calm Aria offered. It made Aurora doubt herself, her career, the path to which she should follow. There was only one way out of this alive, and that was to leave it before she was entwined forever in it's grasp, but Nox he was already entwined, he lacked all the the tattoo on his left arm.
Aurora wished for Aria's talent only for a moment, to find the emotions of others around her, to know what others felt, if the Regus' fanatcism would be the end of her life. There was doubt in the calm, but she knew that it was only on the inside. She knew her secret was safe for now.
