The Ascendancy was still suspicious of them, which Aria did not blame him, he did seem to understand what she'd meant, though she was not sure she liked his last comment. Death was not something she was ready for, and Lucas was with her. Aria sighed inside, this was going to go very badly.
Lucas put his arm around her and Aria wasn't sure about it, it wasn't an move of possession, but he refused to see the danger he put himself by being near. They would have to talk about it later if they survived this. He made her job more difficult having to worry about him too. At least Nox was prepared for all the bad things that could go down.
Ascendancy requested their submission. Nox had already dropped the power and he was clearly ecstatic about meeting a real person of talent with in the power. Inside he was nearly bouncing off the walls. But he held it together well. Aria sat down on the surprisingly dry ground. The wonders of the power of the gods never ceased to amaze Aria.
Weaves of some kind snaked around her and Aria sighed, it was one thing to know about his ability, but to have it used against her made her shutter inside. It was something she was going to have to remedy with Nox. They'd agreed to be guinea pigs for each other, but Nox's tendencies were to blow things up, not restrain someone, he definitely needed more practical uses for his talents as well.
Aria closed her eyes and waited for the end to come, his words resonating in her mind. "I am not inclined to leaving Atharim with missions to kill me wandering free in this world." She could hear it as clear as he'd just spoken it. Free was a relative world. And it could mean any number of things, and that is what Aria worried about, not being free could mean dead...
