Nox felt off.

Something wasn’t the same as before, but what was it he was doing before now?

He tried to remember, he was walking off to get sweets with the other- What were they called again? Kits? Kits! But now, he wasn’t sure what happened, did someone call them? Someone or something?

Nox felt something strange, a feeling pulling, rippling around him, in him. What was it? He felt this feeling before. It was the same sensation he felt before he woke up in this new world. Ripped away from the simple life of survival he had before. It felt like a dark dream that he was awake to, but not at the same time. Body asleep, his mind wide awake to the feelings and sensations around him.

The small kit wanted to squeak and chirp out for the other kits that were with him but he couldn’t move his lips. He struggled and squirmed in his mind, but his body didn’t move an inch to his mental struggles. He felt the sensation continue to resonate around and within him. He felt that he wasn’t touching anything almost like he was gliding but not at the same time. His body was floating in emptiness that felt heavy and light at the same time.

YOU HAVE RETURNED HERE, TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE UNEARTHED

A sound echoed, not around him but within his mind. A voice without a sound but loud in his head. It scared Nox, he remembers this feeling, that in the darkness that consumed him he was not alone. The darkness was looking back at him. Something bigger more obscure than his mind can comprehend. Nox remembers this same presence watching him then as well, as body was shaped and morphed like wet clay. Changed into this body that wasn’t his original form. It seemed to be waiting on how Nox would respond or react. He was a simple creature, still adjusting to his new form and mind. He wasn’t used to conversations he could respond back to outside of his simple noises. It was still such a foreign concept for him. So he waited to see or hear what this being wanted from him. Could this greater being give him answers to his biggest questions.

YOU WISH TO KNOW WHY YOU WERE BROUGHT HERE? IT WAS THE SHADE WHICH SPAWNS ALL THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE. BIRTHED FROM THE ABYSS INTO THIS WORLD FOR ENTERTAINMENT.

Nox wanted to glare at the being that surrounded him. The young Traveler might have had a simple existence before he was forcibly pulled into this world but it was what he knew. Now he had to learn so much of this world and the rules of survival in this were vastly different from the one he knew. He wanted answers but instead he felt mocked and treated like an unimportant toy ready to be tossed to this side at any time. As he toiled in his mind, he felt the presence lighten in ripples. Was it laughing at him? Nox let out an annoyed growl in his mind.

MUCH ENTERTAINMENT YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS DEEP ONE, AND SO I OFFER YOU A CHANCE.

Nox could feel his body shift upwards as a presence underneath moved. A soft glow of purple began to penetrate his closed eyelids and he could feel that the being had its full attention on him.

ARE YOU READY TO CLAIM WHAT THE ABYSS FAILED TO SURRENDER WILLINGLY?

The beings watchful gaze burned into Nox’s mind. What did it mean? Was it offering something that would help him survive? In that moment he felt his instincts pull in two different directions. One side screeched to take this offer if it meant he could survive this new world. This greater being was offering something bigger than he could comprehend at this state and if it would be the answer for his problems he should take it. Right? The other side was crying out that this was too good to be true. There must be a catch that would ruin him if he did not oblige to the beings desires.

As his instincts and emotions pulled each other, clawing at him to either accept or decline the greater being’s offer, he felt the presence beneath pull away. Was it leaving him? Was he taking too long to pick an answer? Was it becoming bored of him already? Nox felt a panic pierce through his mind, and without a moment's thought, reached out to the greater being with his mind. He didn’t notice own hand move towards the being but it didn’t matter. The Shade Which Spawns All gripped the small creature in its inky black claws and pulled Nox closer to it.

THE ABYSS SHALL SURRENDER A GREATER POWER TO YOU. WE WILL SPEAK AGAIN. LISTEN AND OBEY.
