Exploring The Datsan

[Nox]

There really wasn't much to do while Aria did her thing. Nox hoped that Lucas would heed his warning. However he was likely to disregard anything Nox had to say at this juncture and really he didn't care. He did what he could to save Aria the hassle. But there was nothing he could to Lucas to make him see anything, particularly that he was not a threat to Lucas' claim on Aria. He was no longer interested. He sighed as he embraced the power and used his enhanced senses to get a lay of the land. He could see better, hear better, scent didn't carry as well, but it could if it was strong, he could smell the clean fallen snow they were trampling though. It made Nox smile.

Nox was sure the area was beautiful once, now it was a scorched earth and ruined buildings. He watched Aria from a distance, she ran her hands over the scarred stone, and wandered where ever the feelings took her. He didn't envy her that ability. He knew it was not easy. She had every right to hate the world, instead she fought tooth and nail to save it from monsters and herself. She was far stronger than any Atharim would ever give her credit for. And he intended to see to it that she had a life worth living. Because in the end, that is what was going to matter to pull her out of her darkness. The people she loves and cares for, and Lucas was the biggest pull, but he couldn't be the only thing, he hoped Lucas knew that.

Nox started walking the perimeter of the datsan, he didn't have Aria's ability and you never knew what you'd find out in the snowy winter wonderland of the Siberian mountains around some god blown up datsan decades ago.
