The last of the monsters died. The fight raged on inside. The darkness wanted more, there were still living breathing things here. It wanted more death, more fear, the last bit of consciousness. It was hard. Aria saw him come closer. Him.. he had a name, but she didn't know it. Names were important. Everything was chased away by the darkness. A rational thought was too far behind. Aria managed to hold out a hand to stay away. But he didn't listen. He came closer, he put his hand on her shoulder. She'd calmed him before, and now he was trying to do the same or at least tell her it was okay. The power still ran through him, the others were spent, their feelings mimicked her own. Relief was the highest thing on any of their minds. Well one of them was looking for a lot more.
Aria thought of Lucas, the light he'd shown her. His voice echoing his feelings. The honesty and the kindness. An actual friend. It was worth pulling away from the darkness.
"Everyone alright."
Aria nodded, and knew he couldn't see. He continued with out actually waiting for an answer. I'm Nox. The one you embarrassed is Pyotr and the other is Bas. My mates, came to spar with me. Didn't expect this."
She looked over at him with a smile. The light won again. The battle finished, her body ached. Nox, a name finally, grinned up at her. She introduced her self. "Aria. I didn't expect this either."
The useless one, Pyotr, he'd thrown a fireball and lost his cool as soon as the battle started. At least he didn't die. He played with his gift like it was some new toy. Aria spoke softly into the darkness. "Mind putting that out. It's easier to see without it."
He asked. "Does anyone know what they were?"
Aria stood upright and walked over to one of the creatures and put her sword after cleaning it on the clothes of the disgusting creature. "No idea, never seen one before. It was human at one point. He was a construction worker from the looks of his clothes."
Aria knelt down next to it and poked at it with her gloved finger. "Fangs like a chupakabra. But not quite, still kinda human."
Aria shook her head and took out her wallet and start scanning and taking still shots of the creature. "NO idea what it is."
Aria turned to look at Nox. She had a lot to ask him. So many questions he was a hunter, there was no doubt in her mind. But why wasn't he marked? Or was he some vigilante. But she didn't want to talk about this in front of them. They didn't need to know about the Atharim. Or the fact that there was a secret organization that would hunt them down and kill them. But he was different. He was like Tehya.
Aria walked over to Nox and sat against the wall. They really should get out of the tunnels, but she was tired, sitting and resting was a good thought.
