Life was always full of surprises. Her father had been in town for a little while and he'd had no progress on finding her half sister. Much to his chagrin he asked Alex to help. There was little she could do other than try to pull it off as someone of interest for her. But she had feelers out and was looking the best she could. He wasn't happy with the slow progress. He never was.
With Giordano staying at her apartment, she didn't want to go home after work. So Alex headed to the History Museum, a rare exhibit was showing for a limited time here in Moscow before heading on to Rome. This particular exhibit was rumored to be of a man who claimed he was a god. From what Alex understood of the find, he was buried rather unceremoniously under a large flat slab of rock that had been engraved upon. Only a few carvings on the slab remained in tact, one of which was the word "god".
History intrigued Alex, the strange and the unknown too. After meeting Dane Gregory and his unique ability made Alex wonder if this self-proclaimed god was like him. History had a strange way of repeating itself.
The museum only had a few hours left before it closed, so Alex would have to hurry to see what she wanted. There was only a short line, and she could stand and look and absorb the piece. The strange thing about being Sentient was even old things still could emote something. And if the piece was emotionally significant it lasted even longer.
Alex studied the slab in its glass enclosure. And there was no denying it, but clearly visible on the slab, one of the few markings still visible was a snake in the shape of a ring, eating it's own tail. She knew what that was - the Atharim had a hand in making this tablet. Alex had a hard time containing her own fury. First Autunna Luna came and made life difficult, and then they come again and kill her sister, and then she finds out she's a half sister who IS Atharim. Alex muttered to herself, "Fucking Atharim!"
probably a bit too loud and venomously as a man next to her took notice.
