"War is coming regardless."
Aria knew this for fact. "Apollyon born into this world heralded it."
Aria remembered the parchment she'd read, rather felt. Felt the doom and destruction. She remembered the fear and the death on it's linen paper. It was coming, and it was going to be big, and terrible. The slain oroborous. Many versions, many ideas about the oroborous. The oroborous represented time with out end, always around and around. Could the Ascendancy really destroy time itself? Or was it something simpler. Something more prophetic towards the Atharim. The end of the Atharim. Aria took a deep breath, and told Teyha of the feelings she'd had reading the parchment for the Regus.
"The slain orobours could be many things. The death of time. Just a mere picture of the scared tattoo upon Ascendancy's skin. Or worse yet, the end of the Atharim as we know it. Any which way, it will bring war. I know it. I feel it. "
"I can't stop a war. But we can be sure that we are at least prepared for the eventuality. Finding others like you would be good. Teaching them even better. Even if they don't follow the cause, they'd be less likely to destroy themselves or others. A balance as you said must be reached. Protecting the innocent, it's our job. It's what we were trained to do."
Was she being a hypocrite, protecting the innocent. She'd not done that recently, and was likely to follow suit again. Aria knew her powers were growing, and she had to learn to control them before they overwhelmed her completely. Her own hatred for what she was only grew with each moment she spent with in the halls of the Atharim.
