Nox laughed at Jay's comment about Dorian's house. "Dorian has a rich Daddy. No way he could afford this on a cop's salary."
Jay was scoping out the joint. Nox would do the same thing, but he made himself as nonthreatening as possible. This would be hard enough to do without making it seem like he was going to hurt Jay. There was no telling how he'd react to being told he was a wizard. Jay's confession made Nox frown. He didn't want to trudge up old memories. Nox knew how hard it was to do this without fighting the bad things.
Nox changed tactics. "You called me a wizard before."
He chuckled mostly to himself. "What if I told you you were one too?"
Nox held up his hand to stay any response. "Before, when you were thinking those things you don't want to, you touched the source of my power. I could feel it. You've touched it. It'll happen again, and again, and each time you will get sick. You will have a fever, and uncontrollable chills at the same time. Vomiting. You will think you are dying. Unless you learn to control it, it will kill you. But I can help you. Or your wizard friend can, if he understands what he did to get past his block and survive his own sickness. I've never helped anyone actually touch it for the first time. Only break their blocks, but I don't think they like me much after that. But you will die if you can't control it. So someone needs to guide you sooner rather than later."
Nox got up from the floor and pulled two more beers from the case and chilled them both and sat one down on the floor in front of Jay. He knew what it was like when you find out you were a god. Except Nox hadn't called Jay a god. A wizard sounded just as crazy to him though.
Nox sat back down on the floor and waited for Jay's response. He knew he sounded crazy. It was crazy. Wielding the power of the gods was crazy. Nox felt the call of the power just out of sight. Could he explain it well enough?
