CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Aria

She was waging war.

It wasn't like Ryden, with his own considerable strength and skill, but in her own way, Aria was significantly helping Ilotra battle the enemies. And some of the defenses she'd designed were working very well, better than expected actually.

Aria wanted to be glad they did, but she just felt guilty about rejoicing that she got to use any of them in action. In a perfect world, she'd never have found out.

Ryden had sent her deeper down into Ilotra. On her way, Aria finally saw where all the people who usually filled Ilotra's space were. Down there, crouching and shivering, waiting for it all to be over. It gave her the sense of some kind of a cave somewhere back on Terra where people fled in times of war, sitting together in small groups, praying to live.

Ilotra was no cave. Even down in the moon's surface, there was light and air, but she couldn't deny that the mood was sour. Everyone was looking around, expecting to see a Clayor champion charging their way. The fear wasn't simple paranoia; she heard it had happened in another sector on the other side of Ilotra.

And there was her guilt again. Aria felt quite safe, but it might have had something to do with the ten armed-to-the-teeth Brions standing guard over her. All serious and powerful like Ryden, she doubted they were anything but the best. Officially, they were there to protect the civilians and keep order, but she had a hunch she was their first priority.

So her sense of safety came with a price of guilt, knowing that she was allowed to feel safer at the expense of others.

To not think about that, Aria busied herself with work. Instead of rooms that had been designated for her, she asked herself to be taken straight into the secondary control room. It was smaller and not as well equipped, but it worked.

Now that the Brion technicians were down on Ilotra with her, Aria could delegate tasks and chores that didn't require her immediate attention. In that way, she was free to focus on the important parts, like keeping the weapons firing and reassigning power where it was needed.

The technicians were fine with anything she told them to, doing their duty without complaint. It reminded her of Ryden, sharply, painfully.

Thinking of the general didn't help, not one bit. That only brought the fear and Aria couldn't have that.

The defenses she'd had installed were mostly sensors. It gave her the idea that Ilotra itself was fighting the enemy, something she had felt in other moments too. Her sensors tried to find danger and seal it so it could be dealt with by the patrols, or in the current case, the Brions.

She guessed they wouldn't like killing trapped Clayors, but their comfort was not her concern. At the same time, the sensors picked up distress signals and shut off those who needed aid too, until someone could come and help.

They were all over Ilotra. That
