At least if nowhere else in the Rift was to be untouched by the plague of strangers that had arrived, Akvo City would still be a haven. The rain was falling so heavy on the surface that Nostromo had almost needed to start using his gills to breathe - but once he was under water it was utterly peaceful. The occasional flash of light above the surface hinting at lightning. It didn’t matter down here.
His eyes adjusted easily to the darkness as his powerful limbs struck out - the fins at his side and the long tail that moved along behind him helping in his navigation. This was still the city he loved, the city he had sworn to defend, no matter what state it was in. There was little down here that he feared but he was cautious all the same - not so foolish to believe himself the apex predator of this land. There was always something larger. As he dived, he called upon his magic - creating a small version of himself that he could send off to scout in one direction while he went in another. But no matter how hard he tried to command the little magic creature, it would not leave his side. Blowing out a stream of bubbles in frustration, he let the miniature-Nostromo remain for a time - hoping that the insubordination might just be an effect of not having used the magic in so long. |
