She was a quick study. She had caught on to all the implied meanings. "I am." he agreed to her accusation. The echo'd feed made Nox shiver again. The Ijiraq's hands on him to draw more of the power. It felt dark and the terror was real. Nox wanted to make a bright glowing orb to brighten the darkness shadowing him, but it wouldn't help the cafe was light fine it was his own mood and memories shrouding his vision.
"No one sent her. But the first one was sent. The second of it's kind to attack the Ascendancy. She came because that one died. Killed by those of who could wield the power of the gods and shatter it to a pile of ice cubes. She came with others and they fed on us. While she took control of a woman and forced her to do her bidding." The memories were sharp. It was like reliving it. He had done so every night since the gala and he could picture it all, feel it all. It was like it happened to him over and over again and now he was seeing it in the waking world.
Her phone spun around and she asked for his number. Nox grinned. "This is a first. A pretty girl asking me for my number." he teased as he typed in his name and number so she could contact him about the weird in her life. "Weird has always been part of my life. But no the myths you know aren't usually real. They are based on the truth. The Atharim's purpose is to keep humanity safe from all those things that go bump in the night that you think you know. Vampires aren't real, but there are creatures that drink blood just the same. Werewolves." Nox laughed. "There are no men that turn into beasts, but they can connect to them somehow and become like them, still man, but glowing golden eyes and can act like them. Zombies based on a real mutation. Ghosts too." Nox could go on. "What's your name? Be a shame to hang up on an unknown call who needed my help." He pulled his wallet from his pocket and set it down unlocked for her to do the same.
