Taming the Beast [China]
#10
Nox's wallet buzzed while he stood under the hot streaming water of his safe house shower. It was middle of the afternoon -- he was about to head into the port to take down the false god.

It wasn't a normal buzz of a random junk or Raffe or anyone important -- well not that the Ascendancy's contacts weren't important -- it wasn't important personally. But it was probably one of the most important contacts on his wallet. He really didn't want to be on the bad end of the stick when it came to the most powerful man on the planet.

Nox quickly dried off and walked naked into the room he was staying. It wasn't easy to wrap a towel around your waist with one fucking arm and he didn't want to alert any channeler nearby to his presence. At least not until he needed to. Not that they weren't aware of him already. He'd been practicing inverting weaves since he got here. But he was already at his wallet by the time he though it was alright to use a bit of air to help with the process.

The message was from someone Nox had never heard of. Must be new to his case. He didn't expect the Ascendancy to handle him personally though he had been directly available to him if he should ask. What's strange about having the fucking Ascendancy on speed dial? Doesn't everyone. Nox chuckled remember the first time he'd met the man. How he'd pushed his power into the earth to find a tiny pendant in the earth. That had been the scariest day of his life. Well one that he could remember clearly. Falling out of a plan had to be fucking chilling thank god he didn't remember that.

The message read:

TOP SECRET//NOFORN
Immediate Action Required

To: Nox Durante

From: Commander Reed, [Redacted] Operations Directorate

Subject: High Priority Assignment - Codename SILVER EAGLE

Nox's eyes went wide. The fuck. He was now a fucking assassin for the Ascendancy too? The fuck! Even as he stared at the message and jotted down the information in his next quest. It was a good thing he'd been practicing the weaves sounds like he was going to need it. But it seemed he was needed back in Beijing asap.

"Guess I better get this done then."
