Chapter 519: The Message That Came Running
The gravel crunched beneath Orion's boots as he walked down the pathway that led toward the office.
The compound had settled into its usual rhythm. A few pack members moved in the distance, their voices faint against the rustling of leaves and the quiet sigh of wind through the trees. Lantern posts stood along the path.
Orion had a thoughtful expression on his face as he walked.
He had barely made it halfway down the path before he spoke up again.
"Noctis."
There was a pause.
Then the familiar presence stirred inside his mind.
*You have something to ask of me?* Noctis asked him.
Orion scoffed.
"That much is obvious."
*Pretty much. I expected you to begin asking immediately after you told me there was much you needed to know,* Noctis told him.
Orion chuckled at that. "I was trying to get my thoughts straight... but anyways, do you have any idea who Oculum is?"
Silence followed his question.
