Aria inclined her head in thanks and sipped the water.
She smirked. "What I feel? When a man like Nikolai Brandon uses his gift he becomes nothing to my senses. "
Aria smiled. "But he is no more a god than you or I. The Atharim are as old as you can possibly come think. When we were founded we were a reminant of a reminant of a people who choose to fight these gods of old. These gods were men and women who lived terribly long lives, they had power to do things. Humanity worshiped them. Zeus, Athena, Odin, Thor, Set, Horus, you name a god from myths and legend and I can tell you the story of their deaths. Or as so the stories are told in the Atharim - because that is all they really are - tales told through the millennia. The Atharim fought the gods of old to save humanity. They remain today because the war of the gods between gods and then again between man had left overs - creations that needed killing. These monsters continued to prey upon mankind so the Atharim has made its life's work to kill them. Now that the gods are being reborn - the power of their ancestors returning to the world - we hunt them. I do not believe it is necessary - a man with a gift is not evil because of the gift, he is evil because of what he chooses to do with it. I have a friend born among my kinda - born and breed to be nothing but Atharim and he is a reborn god. He chooses to hunt monsters in the shadows because he knows he will die by Atharim hands if they find out. He may be egocentric and he may have a hero complex but he's a good man despite his failings. So Mr. Deputy-Consul Viktor Stepanovich, our ascendancy only believes he is god because the Atharim told him so. He is just a man with the potential to do good, or to do evil. I will not judge a man on things he has yet to do."
