Safe For Now

[Nox]

The orb had to go. The landwarriors would have been better than the naked eye but he wasn't exactly without good vision. The power enhanced it and there was no way he was letting it go now. The whip in his hand was all the light he needed. He could do this. He had done this. The last time he saw a hoard of monsters the three of them nearly died. He had lost his arm in that battle royal. He wasn't about to lose another - or let anyone else suffer the same fate.

A powerful hunger erupted in his body as one of the pack died to his own. The sounds of feeding heard in the distance but not too far off. Nova stood between him and the monster. The monsters that moved whenever Nova did. Nova was controlling them? Nox shook his head, that wasn't how it worked. Alistar Pavlo had controlled the monsters when they saw them last. Dorian had said he could weild the power of the gods. A chilling thought raced through his mind.

Nox stepped forward and called Nova. The pup came and so did the hoard, it advanced on them, they weren't in a rush, but the hunger inside grew strong as they took a step closer and closer. Nox could feel the hunger rising, and another primal need - it wasn't lust, but it felt like it - it coursed through his body. Procreation more. So many unknown questions, so many, and he wasn't going to be able to figure this out himself. He needed brighter minds, Atharim minds, but first he said the Ascendancy must know.

Nova came to Nox's hand, he grabbed a the scruff of the dogs hair and yelled. "Get the fuck out of here." And he sent whatever feelings he could into that place where the hunger grew. Nox sent with it the location of an Oni den. If they were hungry and that was what he felt they could kill the monster. He prayed it didn't turn into one of them but from the hunger he doubted much would remain of a beast.

It was dark. But Nox felt more than saw the hoard move away. Nova tried to follow but Nox kept hold of the dog's fur, he wouldn't go. He couldn't go. Nox feared the worst but for now safety came first and he needed to know for sure. To know Nova was dead and truly gone. His last link to his sister. Tears fell from his eyes but Nox pushed at the beasts and they fled him. And a small part of him wanted to go with them.
