Everything shifted. Once Ascendancy freed Nox and Lucas everything shifted. Relief flooded Aria's system. She feared for her own life, but she did what she did because of others, not to save herself. They would be free, or as free as being watched allowed them. Her life was not valuable to anyone but herself. Though Lucas didn't feel that way. He continued to plead her case. She smiled weakly at him. She felt his love, the pride, but it was foolish to think that pleading would get her freed. This was a man used to getting what he wanted. If he wanted her dead, she was going to die no matter what anyone else said.
The stark difference between Lucas and Nox was apparent in their emotions. Nox cared, but he cared more about himself, though he did offer Ascendancy a warning, that his life was dangerous. And Nox was not likely to save a man who was following him, if he got himself into a sticky situation. But then again he had changed a lot since she'd know him.
Where as Lucas pleaded for her life. It was nice to know he cared this much, but he put himself at risk with each word. Aria wanted to know what Ascendancy felt, she couldn't watch if this turned horribly wrong. Aria smiled at them both, "I'll be fine. Whatever happens is how it is meant to."
She didn't add because that was how God saw to see it, Lucas would believe what he believed. And Nox didn't care about predestined or fate, or religion. He was a man of little faith. At least faith he didn't have first hand account in. Aria believed it would go where it went because it was meant to be her path. Death came to them all. If it was her time then so be it. But Aria didn't feel it was. If Ascendancy wished her dead, she would be dead and she would not be walking ten paces in front of him, she'd be lying on the power cleared earth staring blankly up at the sky and uncaring. But she walked. She talked. It was living. More importantly it was surviving to fight another day. And that's what she'd do. She'd survive for as long as possible.
