Paulie chuckled hysterically and fell onto his back, resting his head against a rock behind him. "Just like him, ahaha... Such a fucking idiot.." Paulie shrugged and laughed out loud before rising to face Jenso head on. "Buddy, you're somethin' else." Paulie fell back down, reached up towards the rock that he rested on and gently stroked it with his hand. "The only things I know about noir is what the old texts taught us. My brother knew a lot more, but I do know this... Noir is a mobile parasite that feeds on uh... Magical energy. It drains it from the atmosphere or something until it's all gone, and uses it to sustain their false bodies. Golems, they're like magical Frankensteins. Noir is the biggest organization of golems that anyone knows of, and they exist in the north due to the amount of untapped magical artifacts and residual burials," Paulie explained, raising his gloved up above his head and clenching his fist. It glowed softly before he dropped it back down. "They kill anything in their way and erect huge fortresses to suck the energy right from the ground.." "I'm not gunna stand in your way anymore, but you gotta think, kid. Think about how you're going to defeat them. If you run in blindly, you're going to be throwing your life away. Raw strength won't work against those things."
