The Ultimate Reality

[Nox]

Breakfast was normal - normal for the Vega household anyway. Christian had made breakfast - usually Nox was up, had gone for a run, and showered before anyone else was up and about. Christian gave Nox a worried look as he walked into the kitchen.

A cup of coffee was quickly poured and slide across the island in the middle of the kitchen and Nox smiled at the man. "I'm alright. I was being a good boyfriend." The whole boyfriend thing was way too new for Nox and saying it sent sparks of fear through his body but he hid them from everyone. Including himself. Besides he had to make up for the kiss he'd given Kali the night before.

Cruz sat down next to Nox with an empty plate of food and Nox frowned at the new reborn god. Cruz looked at him with a grin. "No classes today. What's on tap?"

Nox smiled. He was eager to get to working with the power, Nox didn't blame him one bit. "We are going to work earth today." It was something Nox had been playing with. It wasn't destructive but since he'd seen what Ascendancy could do earth called stronger than it had before. Nox felt different when he was wielding it. Fire was still his go to element for it's pure destructive capability. But earth was proving to be something he could do more with.

Nox had breakfast and Cruz and Nova followed him outside to the back yard where Nox shoved his power into the earth and found all the pipes and things that could break if they did things to the earth in those spots. Fine lines of glowing power raked across Dorian's property that only he and Cruz could see. It was like a map. Nox was glowing with pride as Cruz erected the first wall at the farthest end of Dorian's property without breaking anything. It was a simple weave, but it took the new godling a lot of energy and effort to raise the 10 in wall 8 feet high.

Nox moved to another side of the back line of property and he and Cruz would meet in the middle. The power coursed through his body as he drove his power deep in the earth and pulled up the new wall. It wasn't smooth, it wasn't pretty, but the Atharim would have a hard time getting over it without some help.

Cruz ran over to Nox before they met in the middle. "Did you have to pick up your American friend at the airport today?" Cruz glanced at his watch and Nox frowned. He'd gotten so lost in the power he'd forgotten. Sage was going to be angry, or at the very least miffed at him for being late.

There wasn't time for a shower, or to change, Sage would just have to survive with an unprofessional escort to Dorian's house.
