Into the Darkness
#47
Jay didn’t bother opening his eyes when Marcus came over. He heard the approach, and of the group, Marcus had the heaviest footsteps. This was the extent of his interaction with the politician. Rightfully so. Jay avoided politicians whenever possible. Present company excluded.

Marcus’ idea was met with the twisted lips of approval. “I won’t turn down a pillow,” and naturally leaned forward a little to give the wizard the space. His lids remained low despite the ongoing chat. Probably the fact that his senses were tuned almost completely to sound, or the fact he’d been a steady level of drunk for the past several days, but he started to say something he probably wouldn’t if Marcus hadn’t wandered by.

But a new arrival interrupted. Jay clapped his mouth shut and hopped to his feet as if he’d not been half-asleep a second before. It was the kind of jolt that surged instant energy and focus throughout the whole body. Moments later, he was practically planted in front of Ascendancy while Allan and Nox moved off to cut the intrusion off at the head.

The power surged everywhere, and the tension was tight. It was like a saloon full of cowboys, revolvers drawn and someone waiting for the first move to be made. Jay himself was one of the least powered, even at full capacity, but unlike the others, he was probably the deadliest. And that was the kind of thing that a guy could be proud of.
Only darkness shows you the light.
