## Season 3

### Enter the Phoenix

Nix is first seen in the presence of Pilgrim, Cressida and Castor. The convoy of vehicles that Pilgrim leads has stopped just outside the Badlands walls. Castor and Nix follow Pilgrim as he pulls out his compass and announces that “finally the promise land is at hand.”

Pilgrim leads his two young Acolytes towards Chau's checkpoint; two massive watchtowers that have already been alerted to their presence and are prepared to attack if necessary. The Clipper's draw their weapons and tell them they've come close enough.

Castor and Nix stand silently behind Pilgrim, as he coolly explains to the Clippers that he's here to offer them salvation and all they need to do in return is to lay down their weapons and submit to their messiah, Pilgrim.

The Clipper's prepare to attack, causing Pilgrim to sigh. Castor and Nix walk forward, both draw small blades and cut themselves, Castor along his right cheek, Nix across her left forearm. The drawn blood activates their Gift. Their eyes turn black, they draw their weapons, two short swords each, and make their way towards the watchtowers.

The Clipper's all fire their crossbows, hoping to hit any of the three. But Castor and Nix jump up towards the tower and preform a spinning manoeuver, cutting the arrows before they can hit Pilgrim. Nix lands on the left tower, where she mercilessly cuts through the attacking Clippers, without the Clipper's landing any hits on her.

Nix finishes the first level by slicing up two Clippers at once, she looks over at Castor and smirks at him. The two then flip themselves up onto the next level and relentlessly attack the next group of Clipppers. Cutting them down with ease. Nix hears Castor crash through the floorboards, and looks over at him.

She watches with concern as his Gift deactivates. A Clipper is able to use this moment to to get behind Castor and attack him. Castor is unable to defend himself, so Nix quickly throws both her swords at the Clipper. The swords hit him dead is the chest, killing him instantly.

Nix waits until Castor is able to reactivate his Gift, before making her way to the top level. Nix slowly walks towards the last Clipper. He fires an arrow at her, but Nix catches it between two fingers and snaps it. Nix then pushes the Clipper off the tower and to the ground.
