From Ashes

[Nox]

Nox felt the power in the distance even as he wrapped the newly found calm around him. Allan had the fucking audacity to say he'd lose control. He might have been trained here in the bowels of the facility but Nox had been in the real fucking world. The calm prickled with the power at the far reaches. He knew it could be only one person and his eyes drifted. The darkness growled in his anger and it was truly all he could do to mash it down around the edges with the calm. Allan asked strange questions before Morven sent him away. But the Ascendancy came in blocking his path and giving the slightly meek man a little more power to him.

Like the presence of the god the Ascendancy thought he was made him a god in return. No wonder he had assumed that was what Nox had meant. He growled, "You think?" Nox referenced Allan's last statement offense but he didn't elaborate.

Nox gave the Ascendancy a tight nod. "Ascendancy. I felt you coming." He smiled as best he could in the emptiness fighting the darkness was never easy. "The darkness appreciates your actions." Though that was a lie, it had retreated, but it grumbled about it too. It wanted power, it wanted to take control and after yesterday's adventures he was not include to let it take over again. Or he might never see the sun again.

Nox turned his attention back to Morven. "I have. As you can imagine being a self taught weapon forged by my Atharim training I damaged myself many times. Thankfully my sister could heal or I'd probably be dead." There was no probably about it. Nox had fallen and would have died if Aurora hadn't healed him. Her sickness came and went before they knew what had happened. It wasn't until the second time that they knew.
