Nyx

Nyx was elated as she returned to her home from the surface. Tyr had enjoyed her gift to him enough that he had actually smiled, and spoken truly kind words to her without any sort of provocation. Beyond that he had found seeds for her to create even more Light within her, and helped to start their growth.

She had felt the moment Tyr's power had penetrated the skin of her physical being and took root in what he had described as the 'seeds' within her. Now, she could feel her own Power rising up to meet his within her, and the only thing to do was wait to see what their efforts produced. All she truly knew was that it would be something even better than the Stars.

As Nyx's feet settled upon the surface of her home, she realized that, try as she might, she could no longer release her physical form. There was no explanation that came to mind other than it was due to those seeds deep within her, growing, and keeping her form stagnant. Though she did notice that her skin was back to its normal color, and was more solid.

She only had a moment to consider whether that was due to the amount of light in the spot she was standing before Polaris appeared before her, eyes flashing protectively. Had he been watching?

"Did he hurt you?" Polaris asked immediately, a sternness coloring his tone that she had never heard him use with her before that moment.

A small smile crossed Nyx's lips as she reached out a hand to caress the Star's cheek fondly. "Tyr did absolutely nothing to hurt me, my dear Polaris," she assured him honestly, bending forward to kiss his forehead. "In fact, he actually smiled, and thanked us all for the light we have made shine down upon his creations."

Nyx took a step back, spread her arms wide, and spun in a circle, the echoes of the stars sparkling on her skin. "In fact, he gifted me some of his power to grow something of my own deep within me," she confessed, excitement bubbling up in her veins, escaping as an airy giggle. "I don't even know what is going to come of what we have started, nor how long it will take, but it will truly be an adventure. And I wish you to stay by my side while it happens. Then we can continue our work here in your beautiful gardens as well."

For a moment, it felt as though the Star's silver eyes were staring directly through her, just as Tyr's had only a short time before. And then the sensation was over, leaving her a bit breathless at the sight of Polaris's small smile. "They are not my gardens, we banded together to create them for you, Nyx. Then you can bask in the beauty of flowers without having to travel to see Tyr in order to marvel in growing things," he said warmly. "They are your gardens. We just may visit them from time time, to see you and make sure that your flowers never fade."

"No, Polaris, you misunderstand," Nyx said firmly, Just as firmly, she took his hands in her own and squeezed lightly. "I mean, I want you to stay with me while this power grows within me. There is something wonderful coming and as it grows, I fear I will fade from what I am now. I need your help to keep these gardens beautiful, else it will all fall apart."

"I will always be here for you, however and whenever you need me, Nyx," Polaris assured her before pulling her into the heart of the silver lit side of the gardens.
