Nexus, the usual spot

Not good, not good, not good.

That last entanglement didn’t go well at all. He’d finished off the bastard Weil’s creature, certainly; but he was reaching the end of the line, and he knew it. Better to retreat again, for now, and that Nexus seemed a better choice than one of his boltholes …

Crawling into the now-well-battered loveseat he’d taken to since he’d found the Nexus, Harpuia clutched the small jeweled module to his chest - barely noting the soft, deep-voiced murmur echoing in his shattered mind - and curled up, leaving bloodstains in the fabric of the seat once again.

This time, it wasn’t simply his adversary’s.

He was slipping to the point where impact alone made him seep fluid, if it connected well.

Not good …

… I just need to kill them. Nothing else matters.

[ not true …]
