Cruz stopped when he heard more screams. He knew he should go. It was in his best interest to listen to Nox. He was being paid to protect him. But he'd missed the last monster. And he could help. Cruz turned back around and saw that thing with the Ascendancy on his knees begging. It was so unlike the strong man he'd watched his whole life rule their world. And now he was reduced to almost tears.
Half the crowd stayed to watch as fireballs and other weave flew to save the Ascendancy but it wasn't working. The other half the crowd fled towards the door. Cruz seized control of his own power for the first time that night and throw a shield of air around him, he became an immovable object in their path and they had no choice but to go around him. He smiled at his own use of the power.
Cruz let the fleeing people pass him and he watched as the Consul of Magic or whatever the hell it was called try to make the rods of nine dominions obey but they didn't follow the program fast enough and Nox sent a thunder clap at them. Cruz turned his attention quickly back to Nox. The weaves around the creature were emanating from the Consul and then Nox added his own and split them. Cruz watched the whole thing unfold in a matter of moments but it felt like a lifetime, the world was standing still as Nox's weave collided with the creature and it shattered into a billion little bits.
