Last Stop

[Nox]

Dane missed Moscow. He wondered why? He knew why he missed it. There were far greater things to hunt in the underground and he didn't have to drive anywhere to kill beasties. It was perfect. He loved it there, and Aria was there. The last vestige of his family.

Nox chuckled at Dane's issue with the lesser creatures. As they moved towards the water Nox called upon his power yet again. He felt the earth beneath his feet and saw the brown lights form without a second though as he formed a horizontal rock wall on the ground. He played with the form until it didn't look completely out of form. The earth solidified and Nox climbed up on top of the newly fashioned rock. "Free of critters."


Nox stared off into the water as Dane asked more about his jobs, the particulars like killing humans and monsters in human bodies. Dane already met a perfectly formed monster in a human body. Nox formed a fireball and idly flicked it towards the water to watch the steam rise from the blue water again. "I love my job. I get to hunt monsters, live free. The only downside is the so-called reborn gods, wolfkin, and sentient that we are supposed to kill too."


Nox smirked. "You see one of our human monsters everyday in the mirror. So do I. So does Aria. In the time I've known Aria she has killed three human beings. And I met her after your dalliances."
He didn't want to think about the actual carnal acts they preformed. But they skirted his mind anyway and Nox had to push them away. "Only one of them was a righteous kill by Atharim standards but her own father."


Nox sighed. "The others were human. One a monster like none other, preying on human girls, strangling them and raping them. The other was just a job - someone Aria was hired to kill with her ability to make it look like an accident."


Nox threw another fireball at the water. "So you've already seen a monster living in human skin. Granted I love Aria like a sister, she is what she is."


"But there is no greater joy than killing a beast that is stronger and bigger than you. Something that can eat you alive. The danger of the hunt. "
He longed for the hunt. Nox had been gone too long. "And Moscow is full of monsters to hunt. I can't wait to get back."
