Aria could feel the doubt from Tehya, Aria doubted her own thoughts. She knew she could not take down Apollyn herself, not alone, it was after all a death sentence if you tried. There was no reliable way to get away after trying to kill someone of such high stature in the world.
The question wasn't unexpected, but Aria didn't really have a great answer to it. "I suppose we'd have to find a reborn god who'd be able to help. I doubt there is even a mortal alive who could control a god in any form or fashion."
Controlling A god for Sentient might be possible, she had her hands on one, but Dane was hardly reliable, nor did she think that he would even agree. He was such a mystery to Aria and as it seemed very much on her mind. She pushed those thoughts away. The guilt from earlier tried to creep in. It always tried to creep in when she thought of Dane. It was harder and harder to push it away. Right and wrong, the line had been crossed. Aria pushed away all feelings, every one, she shut herself tight inside her little bubble of protection. The emptiness was better than guilt.
"An alliance needs to be made between the gods that can be trusted and the Atharim. Control, for all I care it's a token control, to appease the higher-ups. An item that says, you think you have me, reality being they fight freely, their own will their own. A token to show they are on our side, so gung-ho Ahtarim don't take down the friendlies."
Aria smiled, "I know this could get me into a lot of trouble, just the thought of working with the gods for the greater good. But I don't see any other alternatives. I know I can't kill Ascendancy by myself. The Regus told me I could use all the tools at my disposal, though I doubt he thought I'd do this."
