Which is More Dangerous

[Nox]

Nox muttered "Morning,"
as Dane inspected their entrance. He smirked at the choice of words - his kind. Nox laughed. "My kind wouldn't use this entrance. There are many others. This one prevents entry and exit no real need to patrol it"
Nox glanced up towards the security cameras installed making sure this entrance was watched at all times. "However I am not like most of my kind. Our kind has ways around simple security measures. I want to see why this entrance is watched. It's not on my previous mapping excursions. So who knows what lurks in it's depths."
Probably something horrible with this gate on it.

Nox reached into the darkness and pulled the black light towards him. The struggle of it was intoxicating. He loved ever second it took to embrace his gift - the fulfillment of actually controlling the willful spirit. Once the power was wrapping itself around him he set electrical sparks towards all three cameras. They popped and sizzled with the desired effect. "No more audience."


Nox sank his gift into the wall. The bricks and mortar just glorified earth. He could feel the metal deep within holding the gate strong in it's grip. But Nox was stronger. He wrapped the gate in a second weave - one of air so it wouldn't fall when he softened the moorings of the gate.

It wasn't as easy as he thought it would be now that he could manage more than one weave at a time. His heart raced but the euphoria of his newfound accomplishments coursed through his veins as he pulled the grating free of the wall. Nox walked inside and gestured for Dane to join him, before he settled the gate back in its position and let the mortar and brick solidify once again. He grinned "Good as new."
Nox dropped the two weaves but not the power and wove a floating orb of white light.

Nox took the second pair of landwarriors out of his pocket and offered them to Dane. "Night vision is already set up for a touch of this button."
Nox indicated the top of frame. "The HUD is synced with my wallet with a map of where we've been and where I've been prior. Just in case we get separated - the red dots on this level are exits."


Nox pulled the second handgun from his holster and held it out to Dane. He knew it was dangerous to give this man yet another weapon but he wasn't about to get him killed either - Aria would kill him. "We tire eventually. I'd rather not have you defenseless if that happens while we are down here. I have no idea what we'll find."


Nox knelt down and picked up a handful of rocks and stuck them in his hoodie pocket. He wished for his gear, but such is life. He'd have to recreate everything again, but that was for later, the stones would have to do.
