oceans rise, empires fall, we have seen each other through it all
Sorry Nate.
Not tonight, you're not.
It's entirely by chance that Shaju spots his opportunity earlier than planned. Because this has always been the plan, you understand, and were it not for luck and circumstance, perhaps the Ascended would have been able to scurry away back into his hole undetected.
But not tonight.
It's a swift thing, in the dark, to slip a hand around a mouth to stifle screams, to bind and drag and wrestle. And if Nate struggles - and Shaju anticipates that he will - then hopefully the words pressed intmately to his ear will persuade him otherwise.
"I will make him suffer if you so much as call out his name."
