Nova stopped and started to growl as Ivan walked up. The little dog's hair stood on end and Nox laughed at Ivan's comment. "No. At least not yet. He was in the warehouse when I came home. The last present so to speak from my sister before she died. I'm surprised he's here. He was inside when I left this morning."
Nox didn't expand on it. Ivan knew all to well what had happened and it wasn't something Nox really wanted to talk about.
"Let's get going."
He didn't wait for Ivan to agree. Nova sprinted off ahead of him then turned around and ran back to him even as Nox was walking towards the pup. "Don't burn up all that energy."
Nox pulled the power around him. "I don't know how to teach you to break whatever is holding you back except to make you do it. So for now just watch, we shouldn't encounter anything dangerous."
Nox glanced over at Ivan with a grin. "Until we do."
"Practice is all I can tell you. And there is plenty in the tunnels to practice on. I don't like going down here with out my gear, but I didn't think to get new ones before I left."
Nox picked up a handful of grit and pebbles and debris from his former home. All that hard work and now he had to replicate it all over again. Once inside the tunnels Nox formed a glowing ball of fire and air and sent it out ahead of him. It made an eerie yellow glow as they walked deeper in that main tunnel here. They could get lost in here easily without a map. Nox was not looking forward to this. He pulled out his phone and pulled up the maps he had. If they stayed topside they'd get decent signal, but if they went down to actually fight something they'd have some problems. But the cache would help - a little.
Nox asked, "You nervous or afraid at all?"
"Nope. But when we get down below I'm sure I'll feel it. Not exactly a fan of being underground,"
he said with a laugh.
With Ivan's answer Nox grinned. "Going farther defeats the purpose then."
Nox stopped and abruptly turned towards Ivan with a grin. "You are going to have to trust me."
But Nox didn't give Ivan a chance to respond before he slowly wove a blast of air and threw it in Ivan's direction.
