Their fun came to an abrupt stop when news of the CCD announcement came on the screen. Nox listened with mild interest and was shocked to say the least when the Ascendancy claimed to be a god. Not that the Atharim didn't know but everything in the press conference just made his life all that more difficult. Nox had pointedly been ignoring his wallet. He knew exactly who was messaging him, and he knew that he was getting tons of Atharim notices as well. He couldn't imagine what things were like back home.
Nox pulled out his wallet and read Aria's text. Call me! She'd only sent one, the rest had been Atharim reports coming in from all over.
But it was the Question and Answer section that made Nox pale. Not only had Ascednancy outed godlings, but the Atharim as well. Fuck!
But his new friend didn't seem to notice his reaction and Nox hid it quickly. He didn't need to show to a near complete stranger his fear at the situation. He was royaly fucked. He could register with the CCD for protection but that would leave him penniless and alone, the Atharim would surely hunt him first before the rest. He knew way too much about the Atharim.
He knew he should call Aria back but she was probably sleeping by now. He instead smiled at Dane's question. "My sister manifested a year before I did. She had it and we didn't know what it was, her manifestation wasn't observable. It wasn't until I threw a fire ball that we knew what we were and I didn't have it as bad because we had some idea of what it was that was causing it. But to answer your questions. Yes."
Nox nodded towards the screen. "That group he's talking about is dangerous. But I don't think registering is a smart idea either. "
Everyone's name all in one place - a great place for the Atharim to hunt from.
Aria had mentioned godlings in the hidden facility she'd been taken to. Nox wondered what Ascendancy was up to. Commander Vellas was one of them, but he wasn't about to out the man either, but Aria knew him - personally. She'd met with him a while back but he wasn't of much help to them. Was he creating an army? Nox sighed. He did not like where this was going.
