Getting Attention
#50
Nox felt unease and anxiety in the silence. The meditation wasn't working. Raffe could die. His mind couldn't focus on any one thing, he flopped between Raffe's impending doom and the darkness inside that threatened to consume him. When Raffe pulled away defeat flooded Nox and Raffe's voice echoed the sentiment. It was a lot to take in.

"It's a lot." Nox knew it wouldn't happen over night and he didn't want to press it. Nox opened his eyes and smiled brightly though he was sure Raffe could see through it all. "When you are ready you know where to find me."

Nox stood up and pressed a kiss to the top of Raffe's head and he pushed his mind through the sludge and seized the power fighting down the darkness that wanted to well up. The emptiness was kindred spirits at this point. No worry, no doubts tempered his body - Nox understood why Aria had nearly lived in the emotionless state - specially since she could feel everyone else's emotions - his were enough to deal with.

Nox lead Raffe down the tunnel he'd made and wove a quick bulb of light that floated behind them until they reached the dead end, which Nox easily moved with a weave of air. It rolled away from the opening and into the vast caverns of the undercity. A place Nox was coming to understand more like the back of his hand. The connection to the hoard gave him new insights. A light into the darkness. A light he would eradicate, they would not harm anyone else while he lived.

The tunnels were dark, and Nox was on the ready. The dripping of water made Nox nervous, the silence in the tunnels more so. But there was no scratching at the walls that said the horde was near. They were safe - all the way to the Red Light District. And all the way back to Kallisiti. "Home." He was relieved and was ready to crash but his concern tried to out weigh the weariness in his bones. Raffe knew where he was, it was his ball now. Nox wasn't good at waiting but it wasn't his life either.
