Fortifications

[Nox]

Nox wasn't opposed to teaching another godling. He didn't really care, but Ivan was a cop. He was likely on the Atharim radar. He couldn't be certain and now he had to trash his device. Dorian's too. Aria and Elyse had already trashed their wallets. Nox was reluctant to do it. It was the last of his sister. The last piece he'd been holding on that reminded him of his sister. He had some of her books left but this she'd set up, encrypted, done the programming. It was hard to smash it. He'd have to do it.

"You work with me and you will definitely be on the Atharim radar. They will hunt you and your family down. Are you ready to take that risk?"
Nox sighed. "I'll be outside, talk with Dorian see what that means. If you want to stay with us here, I'll show you what's next."

Nox went upstairs and outside. Cruz was working on his water and spirit. The boy was talented. If Nox could only show him what Manix had - but Nox wasn't stupid enough to try that. Not even a little. He wanted to try but he wasn't a healer, he know that. Death was all he was capable of...

Nox tapped Cruz on the shoulder. "We need to keep the sound and light directed outward. I can do the sound, but I've not mastered the light. I'm going to experiment."


At the word experiment Cruz stopped what he was doing, but he didn't drop the power and he got behind him but off to the side. Nox joked. "What you don't trust me?"


Cruz grinned as Nox grabbed the power and he started the directional sound. Nox clapped my hands together and it went off in front of me. Cruz wow'd and tried the weave himself but it collapsed. "Keep trying."


Nox started working on only the light portion of the bomb. It was more complicated. Earth and fire and air, spirit was even thrown in. Nox hadn't really used it for much, but it was a good binding agent. Whatever that meant. But since seeing it heal, he kept thinking to use it other things. To stabilize it.

It was like a flash light, the light was in a cone, that's what he wanted. Multiple weaves could accomplish it. But that was the route Nox went. He wondered how many he could tie together before it exploded on him. Nox hadn't gotten the cone completely tied off when Nova jumped against his leg and his concentration slipped and the sound and light weaves combined.

**Flash** **Bang**

Nova went yipping away from the sound and ran into one of the wards and more sound and flashes went off. Nox couldn't see anything. He could barely hear from the first concussive sound, but the power was still with in reach. He sent a weave of air at the pup and brought him close with a quick tug of air. Nox curled the pup in his arms and calmed him while they all got their hearing and sight back.
