Nova

Ning stood on a tree, watching in every direction for signs of movement. As the night had fallen, he had realized a problem that he hadn't seen happen during the day.

His crown grew way too bright.

It seemed, he noticed, that the further away he was from one of the participant, the more his crown would shine. 

Right now, it felt like there was a high wattage bulb hung right on top of his head.

So, he had to watch out for anyone that would come and try to steal his crown. 

Time slowly passed by as he waited, but fortunately, no one seemed to come by. Still, Ning didn't let down his guards.

He slurped on his Aether fluid he had as he slowly absorbed that and that only, making sure to not touch anything that was outside of his body.

While he waited, Ning noticed something in the distance slowly walking in his general direction.

He got ready for battle. But when he saw the person, he stopped and showed a confused face.
