Waves in the crowd
#59
Power roaring through his body, Nikolai basked in their love for some time before he turned away. Euphoria flooded his mind, and he hated to break the connection. Never was the temptation stronger to draw more. To draw it all.

In that very moment, he stepped backward until obscured by the shade of Senatskaya Tower, and released the Power. The dread emptiness that followed was vast and dim. A weeping, monotone world replaced the glorious cosmos he had controlled. That was exactly why he had to release it. Any more was sure to rip him apart. And the world with him.

Without the pillar that was the power encouraging his strength, his legs were gelatin, his shoulders rounded. He searched, but saw only faces blanched with fear, even those in uniform. They feared him. As well they should! the thought spiked angry. Anger for weakness he didn't anticipate.

No benches lined the battlement, and he fell to a wall. Leaning one palm against the brick, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. And there he remained until he willed himself vertical once more.

He turned to meet the gazes of those who bore witness to the moment. There were few aware the Ascendancy possessed any vulnerability at all. That number must be kept minimal.

"Come!"
He spoke to those in his presence, "I imagine the world is waiting."


Minutes after the Arch was formed and responses exploded worldwide. Their strategy going forward was to be formulated anew. Others out there also ascended from mere humankind were enrolling in watch lists at rapid pace - lists likely to be invaded by the Atharim already. In fact, Nikolai counted on it. Although if Aria replaced the current Regus, that plan would need altered as well.

As he descended from the wall, the Barrier Preator agents successfully located the Sigma and Nikolai directed a message for Marcus to meet him immediately.

He was already feeling stronger, but he looked forward to sitting down.
