I didn't want to move....I didn't want to get up.....I just wanted to be at peace at the moment.
But soon.....I grew bored of the sleep......there was nothing to it......just the same nothingness.....I wanted out...As soon as I wished it, I felt myself truly awaken. I sat up off the bed, and my red hair went fowards in a mess. It was strange to feel groggy, but I guessed if I chosen I could have slept for an eternity.
I turned my attention to Lexian for a moment. He was still asleep on the chair. He didn't look comfortable he looked dead....well he was breathing....dam failure heh.....
"You have awakened," the Leader said. He was standing at the window watching the moon, but he knew.....
"Yes I'm fully awake," I answered.
I no longer felt the spurn of rage in the Leader but rather a dead feeling was radiating out of him. It made me want to curl up again and go to sleep forever.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The moon," the Leader answered. "She used to like the moon........"
"What?" I asked.
"A friend of mine," the Leader answered. "She used to like the moon....."
"Used to," I repeated.
"Yes," the Leader answered. "Used to."
The Leader fell silent again and the strange feeling was intoxicating me. It was a mix of exstreme deadness....I had always wondered about Xraktos....wondered how he had gotten the castle back and what he wanted out of this, but since he never told....I never asked.
"You're wondering about me," the Leader said calmly. He could have been commenting on the moon with his tone.
"Would you tell even if I asked?" I started.
"No," the Leader answered.
"That's what I thought. What is our next move then?" I asked.
"This is War. Anyway you spell it, someone in the end is going to die," the Leader said harshly. "I will kill Xerebus, but in time......."
I didn't move a hair, but let the air be for a bit.
"We will, however, start sealing off more worlds," the Leader said calmly. "The more worlds out of Zero's hands the easier it will be to fight them. I am done playing games."
"Glad to hear it," I answered. "And how is my end of the deal?"
"A tangent master aren't you?" the Leader asked but continued on. "There is a barrier soundly sealing off the World Where Nobodies Fade. That is the name I have give it. It seems nobodies may enter, but they cannot leave. It is my intention to destroy the entire plain of existence in that world and force all the nobodies from it. After the world is destroyed, no nobodies will be able to fade ever again."
I felt the air current change again. It was as if RaXi were in the room. I sat up off the bed and for the first time saw my walls. They were....giant peace signs....in blue......
"Tamex," I groaned.
"He left, you know," the Leader said calmly. "But those that abandon the Organization......must be eliminated.....Triskix I leave that in your hands."
I gave the Leader a sidewways look, and my piercing red eyes glared at him.
"Fine," I said sharply.
Lexian mumbled in his sleep on the chair. I turned my head to him sharply. The Leader let out a sigh.
"When he awakens, tell him to find Anamx and RaXi," I said walking away to my closet.
I hadn't changed cloaks in what seemed like...or maybe even was....weeks. As I changed I glanced up and down my skin. There were no signs of the scars, but I knew they were there. Keep your friends close and your subordinates closer..... I smirked to myself.

"Alone," Minx said quietly into the brush of the Thicket.
"Yes alone," Xyta answered hearing the own harshness in her voice.
Suddenly the sound of rustling hit everyone's ears. Aidex and Xyta became as still as a statues. Minx didn't move or breathe from the tree, and the owl moved further back on the branch.
What was coming?
-------
Burn it all
To the ground
~Triskix
Soji: Jet I leave Minx, Aidex, and Xyta to you and Tamex XD
Triskix: this is going to end in chaos T~T
Minx: TAMEN-SAMA HELLO!
Aidex:......she's so happy -_-;;;;;
Xyta: it's annoying.............
I sat in the plane between sleep and awake. I was at a point wehre I could sleep if I wanted, but I refused. Suddenly II felt my arm being lifted a bit and a starnge surge of ice went through me but didn't freeze. It was just a rush of energy.
Instead of forcing me straight off the bed, the energy allowed me to get up slowly. I remained still in the peace. I could feel the Leader's presnece walking through the room towards Lexian, towards me, and back to the window where it would stay for a while before the cycle began again.
I didn't want to move....I didn't want to get up.....I just wanted to be at peace at the moment.
All I can tell you
Is who I'm not
When all I want to tell you
Is who I am
~Triskix

As she tried to summon her mirrors, Minx found it utterly impossible. I used too much power on the defense….and now I can’t even make a mirror….what am I going to do……
Minx stayed quiet waiting for who was to return....she had a pretty good idea that it was Aidex and Xyta. They probably wanted revenge. Minx closed her eyes and witha last ditch strength summoned a mirror infront of her.
"What is that little one?" the owl asked.
"I.....have to see what has happened to my home....." Minx answered. "They took me away....and my home might be gone...."
As Minx looked into the mirror only reflections of her own fears reflected back. Minx sighed and released the hold on the mirror. It shattered and was absorbed into the ground like water.
"Who are you child?" the owl asked.
"A nobody," Minx answered.
"I asked whooo not what," the owl corrected.
"Minx," Minx answered.
Suddenly Minx sensed someone approaching. She backed away and was ready to climb the tree when two fawns appeared. Each had a distinct trait of Aidex and Xyta.
"Ai-chan....Xy-chan...." Minx said quietly.
"Yes it's us you liitle wretch," Xyta answered glaring at Minx.
"Stop Xyta," Aidex cut in. "We don't have to fight."
"Why did you take me from Xerebus-sama! WHY!" Minx shouted backing up the tree.
"Children?" the owl asked. "Is something wrong?"
Aidex looked up to the owl calmly.
"We're just a bit at ends with Minx," she answered. "She robbed us of a few things....our bodies for one...."
The owl looked confused but did not assist the rabbit as she climbed up the tree to evade the glares of one of the fawns.
"You robbed me!" Minx yelled. "You robbed me of Xerebus-sama!"
"You robbed us of our lives Minx," Xyta said sharply. "We were going to go away. We weren't going to harm Zero, and yet as Xerebus gave that dam order your chidishness made us dolls!"
"Enough Xyta," Aidex said now glaring at Xyta. Seeing her friend glaring, Xyta slowly relaxed. "Minx, Xerebus had you do that to us. I hold no grude against you, but we will not br returning to Zero. And neither will you."
"Xerebus-sama! Xerebus-sama!" Minx shouted shocking a few birds and causing them to fly skywards. Suddenly the sound of a gun shot went off.
"Xerebus won't come," Xyta answered. "This world is too far for him to sense, and because of your little stunt with the defense at the castle, you can't even defend yourself."
"Xerebus-sama will come!" Minx shouted back. "He's always helped me! Unlike anyone else! He will come for me!"
Suddenly a memory of Nim entered Minx's mind.
"I'll wait here brother....find Triskix and then come back for me....." Nim's voice said softly.
"I don't want to leave you Nim....." Kristian answered.
"It's ok....do what you have to do," Nim smiled. "I'll wait for an eternity for you to come....."
As the memory died away Minx was left in shocked tears.
"He's not coming.....just like Kristian......Xerebus will never come for me......" Minx said quietly. "I'm......so alone........"
"Yes we're all alone in the world," Xyta said harshly. "Nobodies cannot depend on each other. We may only be friends, but we may never trust. It is a curse....."
"Xyta," Aidex said quietly.
"I....I.....why......" Minx said from atop the lowest branch of the tree.
"Minx, to put your trust in Xerebus is foolish. He'll just abandon you in the end," Xyta said sharply. "It's time to stop acting childish."
"Abandon......" Minx said quietly.
Suddenly a rustling in the brush caused Aidex and Xyta to look up. The Prince of the Forest was comming.He looked to the two fawns and then to the rabbit and owl in the tree.
"Owl what is this?" the Prince asked.
"Prince these fawns...." the owl started. "And this rabbit.....are nobodies.....and by the sounds of it they're alone in the world...."
The Prince looked straight at Aidex ahd Xyta who bowed respectfully.
"Nobodies in the Thicket?" The Prince asked.
"We were seeking refuge," Aidex saaid quietly. "Please allow us to stay...."
"I see," The Prince said quietly. "I will grant that you may stay here for as long as you do not endanger the forest or until you wish to leave. What are your powers?"
"I am Aidex of the Light lineage," Aidex said carefully.
"And I am Xyta of of Ice," Xyta continued.
"Yes you may stay here," The Prince reassured. "What about the rabbit?"
Minx looked down but didn't say anything.
"Her name is Minx and she weilds Mirrors, but at this time she is too weak to summon them....." Xyta said. "She's pretty harmless now....."
"She is in your company?" The Prince asked.
"More or less," Xyta started.
Aidex gave Xyta a quick look.
"She is," Aidex reassured.
"You are all free to roam the forest, but beware....man is hunting at the moment...." The Prince said cautiously.
"We understand," Aidex nodded.
The Prince left leaving the two tired fawns, the terrified rabbit, and the owl.
"Alone," Minx said quietly into the brush of the Thicket.
In the End
Everyone Ends up
Alone

XD I'm oh a roll!
Triskix: ya down-hill
Soji: HEY! *smacks Tiskix*
Minx: Alone......
Soji: will you quit it! You sound emo!
Lexian: I can hail to that.......
Troskix: What are you doing here failure.....
Lexian: you shouldn't be talking traitor......
Both: *glaring at each other*
Mix carried Verex quickly through the halls. She felt a tinge of anger running through her that her Verex had been damaged. She wanted to hurt RaXi for breaking her toy……
“Xerebus-sama gave Verex-sama to me,” Minx cried angrily. “How dare RaXi break my toy. How dare she!”
Minx walked to the last door in the hall, her room. Minx pushed the door open and the large room came to light. Three mirrors reflected off the back wall reflecting the hall light as Mix dragged Verex in. Minx flipped on the light, and the room instantly gained dimension and temperature. Minx walked in and closed the door behind her.
Minx looked around her room. A child sized bed was placed in one bed along with several large dolls and stuffed animals. Next to the largest teddy bear sat what could only be described as a cloak and a head. It had once been a nobody, but her will had been crushed leaving only a body.
“Aidex-chan,” Minx smiled. “Is my dollie-wallie good?”
Aidex didn’t move a muscle, but her lips began moving to form words. “I’m yours,” Aidex said calmly.
“That’s good,” Minx continued. “Good that you are mine. Where is Xyta-chan? Oh there you are my other dollie-wallie.”
Xyta sat next to Aidex partly consumed by a sizeable bear sitting in her lap. She sat like Aidex neither moving or fighting to get away. Both nobodies had tried to get away after hearing Xerebus’s plans….had been given to Minx after words….had tried to resist Minx……had tried to leave the castle….but they had failed and now were part of Minx’s collection. Minx smiled happily at each of them.
“Lady Minx,” Xyta said calmly. “Are you happy…..” The metallic sound of her voice would have been bone chilling to anyone but Minx.
“No,” Minx answered. “No…..Xerebus gave me Verex-sama….and RaXi broke him…….she broke my toy…..and I’m sad…..”
“Lady Minx should…..not be sad,” Aidex answered looking blankly into the room.
“I will make RaXi pay for breaking my toy….” Minx said angrily. “And then she will become my toy. And Triskix. And everyone in Organization Oblivion will be my toys….”
“Only if….Xerebus wishes it,” Aidex answered.
“Oh well of course!” Minx said quickly. “Only if my Xerebus-sama wishes it.”
Minx set Verex down in her bed and started tying up his wounds continuing to talk to her dolls. Suddenly a knock on her door brought Minx’s head up.
__________________________________________
Ok so Aidex and Xyta are just Minx's dolls. They were originally part of Organization Zero but they were afraid and tried to run from Xerebus and Xerebus told Minx she could have them. Minx broke them of their wills leaving nothing but their bodies making them her toys. They don't function on their own except when near Minx. Guess what Minx plans to do to Verex???
Minx: and everyone else for that matter ^^
