Nox shrugged at the question before he opened the door into the cooling air outside. "You don't just leave. You are always one of them, but they can strip you of rank and connection leaving you to be hunted like the monsters we hunt."
Nox stepped out of the car and stretched his long legs. The wound hurt like a mother fucker, but he carefully stretched it out. "Dorian refused to kill his own son for being a god. He's a traitor now. Almost as bad as being a god yourself."
Nox said with finality in his voice. There wasn't much more on that.
One of the spirit trigger wires was faltering, Nox wondered when Cruz had been out here last to redo the weaves. If one was failing, the others might be too. Nox grabbed the power and wrestled it to his hand. It felt good to do so unbidden having been cooped up without his power had been worse than death. The pain in his leg ebbed to the outside and there was nothing but him and the power and his new found friend. Nox started reworking the weaves where needed and reinforcing those that hadn't decayed too much.
That last question caught him off guard, he turned and looked at Jaxen with a frown. "You don't believe the Atharim did that?"
It wasn't common knowledge but Nox smirked to confirm that they had. "It wasn't a nuke. That was just the cover story because of the burns the Ascendancy received. The Atharim did go in to try and kill Apollyon - their name for the Ascendancy - The destroyer of worlds, a prophecy born. That weapon."
Nox pulled out the weapon he had in the pouch of his hoodie. "This weapon, or one like it was what caused the damage. The Atharim we to be led into a trap laid by Ascendancy, but Aria didn't know the Atharim's plan to use these weapons or an ijiraq - a monster that apparently feeds on our power. There was loss on both sides, though mostly Ascendancy was near dead. I don't know how he miraculously healed I assumed he has a man or woman that can heal with their power."
Nox missed his sister in that moment. He diverted his attention to the weaves outside. "Thank you for your help. I don't know what information I have that will help you but I'll give you whatever I have."
It was hardly a payment... saving his life and he repays him with information.
