Into the Darkness
#68
Things began to get insane fast. And the longer Jer stood around wondering how the fuck he could touch the power he saw lights and then they'd disappear. Everywhere around him it felt like the world was pressing in on him, but something about it all felt familiar.

But the monster's pushed on, the lights danced all around more frequently. The Ascendancy walked through flame in his own little firey inferno. Jer couldn't help but watch in awe until the boy he'd come to learn from was in danger. Two creatures slipped past the man in front of them and their gnashing teeth chomped at the bit to find flesh between.

Unable to touch this source of power he'd been told about Jer had no option, he drew his gun and fired at the beast close range. No chance of ricochet but the noise reverberated in the cave and in his head. He didn't want to do that again.

The second beastie fell to a cross bow bolt.

Trial by Fire Nox had called it. He'd given him instruction. Something about a light and wrestling for control. There was no time even with the Ascendancy's inferno slowing the onslaught, the beasts that slipped past were flaming as they careened towards them. Jer reached into that light. It wasn't like a physical thing. He felt a calm wash over him, as he pulled effortlessly at the darkness beyond and it succumbed with a fight to his will. He didn't know what to do with it now that he had it. But the world brightened with unseen light.

The boy next to him tugged on his pant leg and he held his hand up. And in slow motion orange lights formed a ball and fire formed in his hand. And with a thought it was gone flung out in the abyss of the remaining horde, but it splashed against the wall spluttering out in flames as Nox's hand fell to the ground as he grimaced in pain. Jer copied the implenetatin and with a little work he had a ball of fire floating in his hand. Holy shit. He threw it with what little aim he remembered from stupid sports in primary school. Things he thought would never come in handy.

The ball took out a scurrying creature and Jer jumped internally with joy and the light went out. The world went dark and it felt less than before. What happened?
