will heaven step in?
Their searching brought them towards the Estuary. The sun was falling low, the warm orange light filtering through the trees indicating what Noah would assume to be a beautiful sunset. The shadows grew longer and he partially shifted his eyes to be able to see better in the undergrowth, never letting himself take his eyes off the sides of their path for long.
But as Noah listened to Alys describe her visions, the demigod felt his blood start to run cold.
Noah’s breath caught. He stood still a moment, gaze fixed not on Alys but on the empty space past her shoulder, trying to piece sense from the fragments she’d shared. From Deimos, Noah knew their next endeavor was going to be wet, but he wasn't sure how much underwater they would be. The creature she described, even in only brief flashes, made him believe they would be in deep, deep waters.
He shifted, unease rolling through him like distant thunder, letting hsi breath out as he started walking again. A creature that large—one marked in violet, veiled in darkness—void-touched and dangerous, made the hair on the back of his neck rise. “Could you feel anything? Heat? Cold? A presence?” he pressed, scanning her expression with quick flicks of his glacier eyes. He knew Alys couldn't feel creatures over the attuned bond, but there had to be something.
Noah rubbed his jaw, the stubble rasping under his fingers. “How big?” He didn’t like the shape of what this might be. Something old. Something waiting beneath the earth, cloaked in echoes and lightning. Something as big as Remi.
