Stardate : August 3 YR 111
Hitome walked away from the inner regions of Ordo Quaesitor still haunted by the hurt in Keter's voice and the look in his eyes. Sepherim had only been back a few short weeks and still she was not able to understand why he could not just let the secrets she guarded be just that. Hers to keep.
She continued to rationalize that there are times and moments when lives depended on some information remaining hidden from all but the eyes they were intended for. The parties involved. Not even the sadness of her Keter would deter her from what she felt to be the only path to take. To remain silent. For one thing, one secret involved a solemn oath to a respected member of the councel of Sephirot, one she respected and loved dearly. The other a lifelong familial battle that was finally being solved the only best way, with the help of several in the Ordo.
Since coming to Ordo Magna, Hitome had never questioned her choice in path. The Tiphareth had been the perfect place for her based on her life ... All her life had been shadows and secretive, and here was the perfect spot for her. Veiled in secrecy nothing was certain.
She smirked as she kept walking, a feeling she had, that her own Sephirot , Aldrith did not believe she had the ability to keep a secret much less anything else of importance. She was certain his opinion of her was low, but she shouldered those thoughts and pushed through the pain of those doubts as always the best she could. She had in fact got quite use to thoughts and words like those throughout her life. One of many obstacles to overcome.
'Well let them think that and doubt all they want, I know I have more secrets than even the walls of our hallowed halls ever shall have.'
She continued walking away never looking back but deep in thought. She would love to tell Sepherim what she has struggled with for months and even years leading up to what was certain to be the greatest test of her abilities thus far. if they only knew... Not only her training since childhood as Cyberknight, She knew her training at the Veto Corp Test Firing range had been profitable. Kale Roche, the Veto Corp Head of Internal Security, had helped her attain a high rank of Marksman that few others had. Kale of course was one notch higher... She had hit point blank every target he launched and with each session her hits were mere millimeters below his, or dead on. It was quite the joke between them of the difference between her ground abilities and her lacking skills in the pod. She was however hopeful that would change in time with the increase in training now that she was with ONSU.
Hitome walked along the halls lost in thought. She looked forward to completing this week's Bloodtear Op in Gehi , along side her two brothers Seeva and Takht, so she would be able to focus more on her duties here in the Ordo. She willed her fears away as she arrived at her shuttle, soon heading off to the Tiphareth home. The one thing she was thankful for was having secretly begun a friendship with Math'ra, of the Geburah much against Leopolds requests. She could not help the smile that formed at merely thinking of that tall Khanid they had treated as an enemy for so many months. It was he alone who filled her with confidence she could accomplish this mission. And He had offered much in way of assisting her with this operative. She was thankful he would be there tonight for the culmination of Bloodtear. It should prove to be a test of everything she had been molded to be thus far in her life. She let out a sigh, thinking, if only Sepherim could know even half the details...
But the dangers were too apparent and the enemy is never fully known. Who her allies and who her enemies are were proven shades of grey during the latest war of the Roses conflict. She would not soon trust just anyone ever again. Not even those in the top. It was safer this way. Secrets had to be kept.
Hitome's thoughts kept tracing and retracing conversations earlier that night that had bothered her most. Why would such a kind devout man, the Keter himself, want her to divulge what she had taken a vow not to tell.... The oath she took seriously. I mean this whole ORDER is one of secrecy and truths buried deep among the fabrics of lies. Why would he nearly order her to tell him something so sacred.
'I cannot nor will I ever lest I endanger the Princeps Archon', she mused. ' In time the truth may be apparent but for now, My small part in this will just have to remain sworn silent.'
The shuttle arrived at the house location, as she expertly flew toward the location of her beloved home docked, and headed into the Elevator to prepare for the events shaping up. Her heart felt lighter as her actions led toward the future...
