Chapter - 027

The crackle of stone underbed, the rumble of the carriages, and the sounds of conversation at their backs - Nyx was bored. His legs dangled off the edge of the coach, watching the gravelly Iron Road go by as he absentmindedly picked his fanged teeth with one long, clawed finger. Nothing much had happened in recent days, other than doing some hunting here and there, and playing some... good-natured tricks on the stupid humans.

Oh, how easy they were to fool...

Regardless, things had taken a turn for the monotonous. Despite even with the dark figures and menacing roar of the forests, that occasionally would pass by as they stalked the caravan, and those he himself would come all-too-close to during his hunts, Nyx wanted to go explore the depths of these lands - and kill some things! Still, it wanted to leave the red-haired human even less.

Sure... pretty much all the humans were stupid, and they were little better than for amusement - but there just was something about that redhead. Out of all other creatures it had come across in this world, she was the one he felt most kin. And she treated him as such.

Nyx still wasn't sure why she as of recent had been speaking to him in whispered tones, almost as if she didn't want to be heard, but he went along with it since he was learning many new things. Things that had up until that point had made no sense to a creature like him.

"Codex!" Nyx shouted in his mind.
