To Get into the Elite you must be very active in this club constantly contributing. Elitists also get special privileges, if I am thinking of modifying something you will be one of the first ones to know via PM, you will be squad leaders on missions, and you're major quote will be displayed on the intro. Also, Eliters's point numbers are cleared because they have already reached the higher status in the club. Everyone else still have points to rack up in activity.


"..When I gave up my heart....I didn't mean to give up my soul too....oh well no sense in dealing in the past....I will keep order in this castle...or die trying...."
~Triskix~
"So far into the darkness that I can no longer see the light...and I like it..."
~Lexian
Remember, darkness does not always equal to evil. Just as light does not always bring good.
~Nyx
"Could one such as I, one without a heart, dare say they have felt the emotion of Love...or was it an illusion cast upon me in this endless darkness?"
-RaXi-
"It doesn't matter how pure, full of light your heart is, It doesn't matter how cold, full of darkness your heart is. What matters is knowing if you made the right choice or not"
~Xemmsur
"Strength decides who lives and who dies. If you're strong, you survive; while if you're weak, you simply fade away. There is no "In-Between"."
-Ximh
Better to be a Nobody without a heart, then a somebody with a heart.
~Kyxsha
"Why would I want a heart...when everyone I would love is already dead? I have been avenged, I have no one to avenge...life as a Nobody is all that is left for me."
-Rexikat

Organization Oblivion's sister world:CLICK has information on the apprentices if you need to look it up

Also check out here which is used for the randomness of the castle.

Prospective new members: we will decline every new member that wishes to enter the castle at this time until this arch in the story line is over. After that time, people may apply for membership. Once this arch is over, I will give more details.

An Ally?

"Well!" I grumbled slouching in my chair. It had been a full five minutes at least....five minutes of SILENCE.

"Patience RaXi, all in due time." Tanex laughed off. "I'm still in shock here...after all...you came of your own will. I'd like to know, what spurred your rebellion?"

"I did not rebel against my organization!" I refuted quickly. "I rebelled against a single being...that is all."

"Oh do tell." He commented and placed his elbow on the arm of his chair. With his face perched on his hand, he seemed to be listening intently.

My eyes strafed to the side. "That sarcasm of yours Tanex...can be tiring..."

"Actually...I'm curious RaXi." Sarixen stated raising his voice. "You seem to be...so agitated...I don't like it."

"Yeah, you're telling me...RaXi always seemed to be slightly cheerful...but now...she's taking after her element..." Erixa added.

"Come on Erixa...we all changed after our masters died. I'm sure you're NO exception..." Lexian spoke up.

"I...uh...yeah...you're right Lexian..." Erixa stuttered and quickly averted his gaze. We all stared at her a moment...Sarixen laughed.

"Look...I don't trust the man in charge of Oblivion right now. Plain and simple...I really don't care to go into the details right now...alright?" I finally stated, hoping to dismiss the subject outright.

"And with good reason..." Tanex stated. "That man...is out for himself, same as Xerebus. They've one very specific goal...oh yes...and that goal...is one and the same."

"So what you've been doing...is watching Xerebus?" I asked.

"Yes, and no." Tanex answered quickly. "My main goal, has always been to reunite the apprentices. I merely used Zero as a source for leads...but as time progressed...I became curious as to Xerebus's intentions. Without realizing it...I dove deeper...until I managed to ascertain...certain pieces of information." He had that devilish grin again. The one that said...'Yes...I know...but I'm not going to tell you yet.'

"Really?!" Nyx exclaimed. "What does Xerebus want?! And how does he know the Leader of Oblivion?!"

Tanex didn't count on Nyx being the curious one. His eyes went wide a moment, he could almost never resist her. "Nyx dear...I'm not quite ready to say just yet. I will tell you though...Xerebus has known the Leader of Oblivion for quite a LONG while. Let's just say...since they were Somebodies."

He knew...I knew about the fact that they were acquainted...I knew Xraktos's name...but I was sure of it...Tanex knew ALOT more...just how MUCH more though? He seemed pretty confident...

"I have been a loyal servant to that Organization...or so was the role I played. And now I wonder if Xerebus suspects me for it." Tanex laughed.

"What makes you think that? Have you declared your rebellion?" Lexian commented.

"Oh no...I just have to wonder why he's sent his pet out after me...the only answer...he's finally figured out my little facade." Tanex nearly giggled. "Or...he just suspects me."

"His pet?" I mumbled. "...Verex..."

"Hahaha...." Nervous laughter emerged from the ground level. "Yeah...I wasn't really good at this whole shadowing thing...especially when my heart's not in it to begin with, you know?" Verex stepped out, rubbing the back of his head with a grin on his face. "Yeah yeah...but I don't have a heart right?"

"Verex!" Marlex snarled and appeared instantly before him. He'd summoned his gwan dao and was already swinging at him, but it didn't hit its target...a shield of ice appeared before me...I stood before Verex defensively.

"RaXi...still you protect him!" Marlex shouted angrily.

"Enough Marlex. I doubt Verex is a threat...or didn't you know? He hates Xerebus more than any present in this room. Isn't that right Verex?" Tanex intervened, even appearing on the floor and placing his hand on Marlex's shoulder.

"RaXi." Verex stated low. It was then I realized I was still protecting him. I stepped to the side. "Yes, this is true Tanex. I've never hidden that fact. So then...you know that Xerebus has ordered you to be shadowed...but I didn't come here on his orders. In fact, I have no intention of telling him ANYTHING that would be of use to him."

Tanex broke into full on laughter. "Tell him whatever you want Verex! I can really care less if he finds out...there is nothing he can do now." The last part was concluded with the familiar serious tone.

Verex stood there...a small smile began to dance on his lips. "I am not an apprentice from the past. I had no connection to this Organization XIII...however...I must ask. Are you in need of another ally? I feel that...I may be an asset to you..."

Tanex smiled. "Allies are never to be turned away. Show your loyalty to Organization XIII...and it shall be rewarded. I will neither accept or deny your request...for that is simply how it is."

Verex smirked. "Alright then...I'll start by leaving right now. I don't want any chance of Xerebus witnessing this place...carry on Tanex."

"Verex..." I accidentally said aloud.

He turned to me. "RaXi...I have to go now...but..." He seemed to gaze up at all our spectators. "Take care..."

"...uh....you too..." I managed. He backed into a portal...and within moments was gone.

Everyone was staring at me...making me very uncomfortable. I wasn't willing to let them know of my past yet...not yet.

"RaXi, you should sit back down." Nyx suddenly spoke. Had she sensed it...the need to change the subject? "I have a feeling there is still much to be discussed."

"You're right Nyx." I stated quickly portaling up to my seat. And then, things were silent once more.

~RaXi
**************************************************************
Okay, I left it open so that you may continue as you wish Ash! ^^ Have fun with it!! X3

Oh yeah WOOT! Two posts today...I am so on a roll here! LOL, but that's fine with me as long as you all enjoy it! X3

Shadowing...

I'd had three weeks of wonderful freedom. It felt good...being able to go wherever I wished without bonds. But, before I'd gone ANYWHERE I made sure Etxel was almost completely full health again. He was a stubborn knight, but an honorable man, what this world of Nobodies lacked. I felt that I could actually treat this man as a TRUE comrade in arms...therefore I made it my duty to make sure he was all good before rushing to danger once again. Even if that meant drugging him up to save him from his own stubbornness. >:}

After getting a slight grasp on the situation at hand, Etxel had ran off as soon as he was able, no doubt to see Xakiah. All during the time he was unconscious he'd called out to her...they had to have been very close at one time. Whether they were now or not...I couldn't tell. She seemed to be a woman he would do anything to protect....anything....

RaXi....

How I'd wanted to go to her in this time. To finally say what should've been spoken back then...before I became this. NO. I would not regret this...what had befallen me...it had only served to bring me closer to her in the end. And not only that...but I'd been able to confirm what I'd researched all those years for. A nobody could feel...they did exist...they had thought patterns and emotions not unlike wholes...yes, I myself was proof of this. I had become a Nobody, this was true, but I'd lost none of my feelings towards RaXi. On the contrary...I only seemed to love her even more. No matter the pain I suffered...no matter what I would have to overcome to prove it to her...she would know...one day...I swore that on my very soul.

A familiar pang echoed throughout my nerves. The intensity was severe...Xerebus had returned from his long..."vacation". I smiled in spite of myself...how priceless that image...the image of Xerebus trying to escape from a fog. I responded to his summoning, appearing in his quarters and watching him pace from side to side in an angry rage. I did not speak...I tried to refrain from such meaningless chatter...I didn't care to hear his voice...ever...why should I invoke it?

"Verex...tell me now...how long has passed?" He snarled.

I smiled. "Do you really want to know? Three weeks."

His fist came down hard on his desk. "Curse her...that witch..." He mumbled.

Don't blame others for your incompetence... I thought loudly. He glared at me...yet said nothing. Then in a split second I was pinned against the wall. His hand came up and grabbed my chin. He glared at me, I stared back in defiance...just as always...

"Verex...you do realize that's three weeks of pain we have to catch up on now...don't you?" He muttered in a sweet yet vile tone. "I could give it to you all at once...but today...you're lucky." He smiled and slowly pulled away.

I didn't say a word...which only served to aggravate him more.

"Why are you lucky? Well simple. I've another task for you Verex...one I meant to assign three weeks ago..." He continued.

"Which is?"

He grinned. "I want you to keep an eye on Tanex. I don't trust him." With this comment he'd finally calmed down enough to sit down. He began fiddling with various objects on his desk. "I want you to tell me about anything suspicious he may be up to."

"Tanex has never done anything but shown you loyalty...why suspect him?" I couldn't help but ask.

"That's exactly why." Xerebus smirked. "He's been TOO LOYAL. One would expect the occasional rebellion...as clearly shown to me by Pashnirix, yet look at Tanex. He's done nothing but follow my orders...with a smile on his face even."

Xerebus was a wily man. I had to wonder if he expected any of the members to follow him...or if they were all simply his pawns in a much larger game. A game involving that man of Oblivion. Their Leader.

"Do not analyze ME Verex." Xerebus suddenly stated crossly. "And do not question my orders to you. Unlike the others, I KNOW you will not disobey. Lest you feel the consequences of such a betrayal."

My eyes narrowed as I glared at him. "Whatever you say." I turned to leave.

"And another thing Verex..." I stopped. "Make sure Tanex doesn't realize you're shadowing him...it'll only spur what he's most likely planning."

"Chh." I sighed and stepped through my portal. "Tanex huh?" I mumbled. I'd never had any trouble with him. Though, I always realized he was someone to steer clear from. Behind his cheery facade and sunny disposition lie a fearsome enemy, should you be foolish enough to make him one. I had accompanied him on few missions...but those I had...he had shown me just what he was capable of.

I exited not far from Tanex's quarters. Just in time to see Xeros enter. As the door shut, I slowly stood on the outside edge of the door...trying my best to hear anything being said. And yet...I could make out nothing. Low mumblings of scattered and broken words...Xeros really did need to learn how to speak up. -_-'

It went dead quiet. Almost to the point where it seemed they weren't even in the room anymore. Crossing my arms I debated my next move...truly, what was to be done?? I wasn't to let Tanex know I was watching him...so it wasn't like I could just walk up and say 'Hey Tanex...you a traitor? Cool.'

Suddenly...I felt it...RaXi! Looking over my shoulder at Tanex's quarters once more...I decided to pursue RaXi. I appeared just before the Citadel...but quickly took cover near the wall when I saw not only RaXi, but four others. I remembered the one named Lexian...the other was most likely Nyx. She appeared to be just the way RaXi had described her childhood friend. The other two...were...Aidex and Xyta! RaXi had taken them with her? This made me wonder...just how was Minx doing with Mat...er...Tamex. Xerebus hadn't shown the slightest hint of concern...but I was worried for her. I hoped nothing ill would ever befall that girl. She had been too kind to me to ever wish her grief.

This was so hard...lingering in the shadows...watching her from afar...unable to speak with her at all...

Marlex appeared. They spoke for a moment...and I heard something I wish I hadn't....

"Tanex. Take us to him, we have business with him." RaXi had ordered...So Tanex IS working with the past apprentices? Maybe not...this could all be a misconception...I pondered silently.

Shortly after they all departed through a portal to an unknown location.

Well...not unknown for long. I gauged the portal's intended exit and adequately set my new portal for the same...give or take a set amount of distance. I didn't do this for Xerebus...no....I did this for ME. Xerebus had given me freedom to leave Abyss in order to investigate Tanex. I snickered slightly...silently thanking him for giving me the freedom to move at will.

Stepping through, my jaw dropped at what lay before me...

~Verex
**********************************************************
Finally I do a Verex POV!! I've been wanting to do one for some time now! Thank you Xakiah for giving me the opening! LOL *ahem...the THREE weeks* X3

Reunion

"Credit?" I questioned Lexian as he approached. I could tell he'd been punched...right in the face. "Lies do not become you Lexian...honestly, did Triskix send you to stop us?"

Lexian looked straight at me with his piercing blood red eyes. There wasn't the slightest hint of hesitation or regret in them for what he was about to do.

I smiled. "I see. So you HAVE been planning this for awhile. Tell me Lexian, when did you sense my rebellion?"

At this he smirked. "How could I not RaXi? You think you've changed...but you've stayed exactly the same. Well, in most respects." He commented. "It was only a question of 'when' for you. I've never respected this guy either...I just get the feeling...he's not in it for the Organization...he's in it for himself. That's all."

"What do you think he wants?" Nyx questioned. We all pondered this a moment.

"I can care less." I finally disregarded. "My concern is my own grudge. I really don't want to hear his 'reasons'. No matter what they may be...they will never avail him with me. He shall feel my wrath and relinquish Oblivion to the rightful owners. Those who were crafted and molded to ascend as the next Organization XIII. The Apprentices."

Lexian gave me a slight nod. "Seems like...Tris's ORDER would fit right in with that plan...don't you think?"

I smirked. "Of course. Triskix will LEAD naturally. Even Tanex wouldn't object to that."

"Yeah, he'd probably cheer Triskix on!" Nyx laughed slightly. She seemed to wince a bit...I wondered how bad her eye was getting...

I reopened the portal I'd formed. "Let's go then...and you two...stay very close to us...understand?"

The two children nodded and we all stepped through. Right before Citadel Abyss. I rose my energy just a bit...it didn't take long. Marlex appeared before us within moments. He looked slightly taken back.

"RaXi...Nyx...AND Lexian? What are you going to try now...blowing up the Citadel is not..."

"Tanex." I stated flatly. "Take us to him...we have...business to discuss."

Marlex examined my expression closely...then pulling back in shock realized what I meant. "No way...Nyx? You're all...you've decided to...but what about Triskix?!"

"Marlex please...just take us to Tanex. We can't very well discuss this out in the open...you don't know who may be listening." Nyx pleaded. This seemed to do the trick, looking around for a second, Marlex then opened a portal and ushered us in.

We stepped through into a black room. It was well lit, but everything inside was black. And when we examined the hall, it was like the inverse of "Where Nothingness Gathers" only instead of white...it was the deepest shade of black. We were all so taken in by the room, we didn't notice Tanex approach. Correction...Lexian did.

"Well, welcome all, you don't know how long I've been...UGH!" Tanex started and was shoved against the base of the nearby chair by the scruff of his uniform.

"Tanex..." Lexian growled. "You were the one who injured RaXi weren't you? Well?!"

"I see Lexy certainly hasn't changed...has he now? A bit feistier, honestly I don't mind but come on..." Tanex laughed directing his question to Nyx. "So RaXi, did you fail to mention the wound inflicted upon me? Or am I just the bad guy here?"

"Lexian. Back down. He speaks true, we fought on equal ground. This is not the reason we come here." I ordered. Lexian released Tanex...and Tanex fixed his cloak.

He laughed. "So then RaXi, would I be far-fetched saying you've finally made your move?"

I glared at him a moment...I hated him thinking I was predictable. "This IS my move Tanex..."

"Oh!?" He wore a shocked expression. "What's this? No grand gesture...very unlike you RaXi. But that's right! That man holds Triskix in the palm of his hand doesn't he? There's no room for dramatics. Not when you plot every little move..."

"Are you through?" I cut him off. "Or shall I leave?"

He smiled. "You would do that? After everyone's gathered here...just to welcome you all?"

"What?"

We all looked up to the seats. I know all our eyes went wide...even Lexian was in shock. Erixa, Sarixen, Xirian, Liliax, Xarin, Nevx...and of course Xeros. They all sat in the seats of their corresponding teachers...I saw Xeros crouch down a bit when I looked at him.

"Hey kid...long time no see..." Sarixen commented with a slight smile.

My voice failed me...they had all gathered...were they part of Zero?!

"I know what you're thinking...but they have nothing to do with Zero." Tanex smiled. "They have all united...not under a ruler...but under the banner of Organization XIII. As it SHOULD BE. You three must feel it...we are all bound together...not to be tyrannized...but on common ground in an effort to reach-"

"I didn't come for a speech Tanex. We've all heard this before, and if fate TRULY dictates this...then we will gather once more." I glared. "So then...can I count on your aid to retrieve Triskix? If I'm not mistaken...he belongs here as well."

"Little flame boy. Heir to the Flurry of Dancing Flame..." Xarin commented from above. "What's Pyro gotten involved in now? Don't tell me he's gone and sold his soul?!" He then preceded to let out a high pitched cackle. o_o' I would NEVER forget that cackle...courtesy of Larxene. I could see Lexian wince a bit. Bitter memories perhaps.

"Xarin...enough." Tanex stated seriously. He turned back to us. "Well, you see RaXi...that all depends. You three haven't officially agreed to stay with us...will you be staying?"

I looked at Lexian and Nyx. Then back at Tanex. Then I spoke. "We're here aren't we?" Tanex smiled. "But first Tanex...I want you to tell me what the hell you're planning. What is the purpose of your ruse at Zero? Or are you truly loyal to them?"

"RaXi..." Marlex started. Tanex signaled his silence.

Tanex gave me that malicious grin again. "Take a seat RaXi, I've built two seats for you and Nyx in Saix's old position...this is going to take awhile..." Nyx looked at me with uncertainty for a moment. "Lexy, you too." Tanex smirked. Lexian clenched his fists, but walked forward before us and portaled up to his seat.

Taking the children with us...we waited for the grand explanation.

~RaXi
**********************************************************
Kira: Wow...I coulda made this longer...it's just too fun I tell ya! But I figured I'd stop here for the time being. haha. I visualize this room so well...you wouldn't even believe it.

RaXi: ................o_____o

Kira: See...she's speechless.

Departure

After Nyx showed Xatticus on his way, she quickly returned. I was already out the door, heading down the hall. Nyx caught up just as I'd reached the front, she knew I wouldn't wait. I told Triskix I couldn't follow Xraktos any longer...

I was about to reach for the handle when Triskix muttered, "And what about the children?" I froze...I hadn't thought of them...my entire scenario had only included ME...I would be the only one to bear the brunt of this...yet if I left her...Xyta WOULD be the one to pay as Lexian clearly pointed out.

Nyx voiced her opinions, and Xemmsur ended up showing up as well. This was getting harder and harder. And then, Nyx hugged Triskix, and ran through a portal. I had no idea where she was going...I stared straight at Triskix and Lexian. Lexian seemed to understand what I was thinking, for some reason there was a mischievous look revealed in his own. And then my eyes met Triskix's. A slight fear lay behind his eyes. He was filled with apprehension. I knew my eyes were filled with determination...I had to protect. This was my only course of action...and when I DID return...I would count on my allies within Oblivion to support me. But until then...leaving was my only path...I needed to verify unanswered questions, no matter what the cost.

Clenching my fist I started, "....I....have to go..." I paused. "This...it's not a rebellion against the Organization...I have nothing but LOYALTY for the Organization. No, this is a personal battle. The opponents are myself and that man...I ask none of you to fight with me...and I WILL NOT forfeit my place amongst the Elite."

"RaXi, you do realize the position you place me in?" Triskix stated solemnly.

I hated myself for doing this. I didn't care if it was to protect him...I was no better than Axel right now. But not only Axel had done this...they had all abandoned us...to protect us yes...but abandoned us nonetheless. Only now did I TRULY realize how difficult this was. I got very close to him...my hand reached up to his cheek...and then...I hesitated...I pulled away and stepped back into a portal.

"This is NOT goodbye. Triskix...know this. I am not like our mentors...I will return to you...I swear it." I spoke quietly...as though I were whispering only to him. "But know I must do this...there is no other course for me now...therefore I don't ask your forgiveness...only your understanding."

I closed the portal which led me to Setxune. Xyta was gone. "RaXi, about time! You said right after your meeting..."

"There's been a change of plans Xune." I interrupted. "I'm leaving. There is no time to explain...where is Xyta?"

"Nyx just came and got her and Aidex...why? What's going on RaXi?!"

"You mustn't ask me that." I disregarded quickly. "I've come to a impasse now...therefore all you must know is that I shall return. When I do...I may ask for your support."

"And you'll have it...I just wish you'd clue me in...perhaps I could be of assistance..."

I smirked. "You'll be of more aide here. Make sure the castle doesn't come down okay."

Setxune nodded and I left immediately. I sensed Nyx from the front gates. I found her there, standing with Xyta and Aidex in toe.

"Nyx..." I began.

"If you insist on leaving...then I'm going too!" Nyx suddenly shouted. "I'm tired of you doing everything on your own! If you tell me the Leader did something horrible to you and you can't follow him...then neither will I! I will be your ally RaXi...please...don't do everything on your own."

"I...I can't drag you into my fights Nyx..."

"Then don't." Nyx stated flatly. "Let me walk by your side instead."

My mouth dropped and then my attention turned to the children. "And them?"

"Oh, don't try and say we're a burden now." Xyta dismissed quickly. "We never pledged allegiance to anyone but you RaXi...seriously."

I almost laughed. "You're all just...insane..." I paused. "I spur a private rebellion...and you all rush to your deaths beside me..."

"Or our victory." Nyx said with a smile. Most likely trying to cheer me up...even though...Leaving Castle Oblivion again...was tearing me to pieces.

"No point in putting this off...let's go." I stated opening a portal to my destination.

"Just a minute." A voice called out. It was Lexian, he had appeared behind us and we turned to face him. Was he going to try and stop me still??

~RaXi
************************************************************
Kira: And we're off Ash! o_o'

RaXi: .........are you SURE you wanna do this nyx?? -_-'

Close Call

The Leader breathed heavily and dropped RaXi to the ground. He walked to the door immediately and stormed off down the hall. He appeared to be a man on a mission.

I stepped from the rear corner of the room. Out from the darkest shadow the room possessed. I approached the broken me which sat dumbly against the wall. Xraktos had all but destroyed her. Her mind in pieces, even though she didn't have the defenses I possessed...it was still pathetic. I cast a scornful look of disgust upon her.

"Useless." I commented disdainfully. Holding out my hand I held it before my copy and slowly she turned solid white. As I clenched my hand into a fist she collapsed, into a pile of ice crystals. Glistening lightly like a fresh snow. "And yet, had I not sent in my copy...this would've erupted into a full-on battle."

I smiled slightly. My body seethed with intense hatred...an all consuming hate....and yet my mind was plotting. Plotting so that I would not be foolish with my rage. Xraktos could not sense me watching, therefore I am able to mask my energy efficiently from him. He most certainly did not doubt that that copy was me...therefore...I have succeeded. Finally...after 12 long years of training...I have mastered the copy technique. Marluxia...I thank you. And thank YOU Xraktos...I wouldn't have been able to "test it" if not for you...even though...I truly was saving it for Xerebus.

"That copy was useless in fighting him...however...she DID manage to gather the information I wanted. Xraktos admitted to his hand in Vincent's capture. I will never forgive him for his part in it." I growled lowly clenching my fists once more. I needed to control myself...if I wanted my vengeance...I would have to do this properly. Rushing in blindly wasn't something I'd ever do. But I really didn't know if I could stay here much longer...not now that I had found my answer...what would be my next move?

I returned to my room. Gathered my few things back in the bag which I'd brought with me in the first place and turned towards the door. Nyx was there, I don't know how...but she'd appeared out of nowhere.

"RaXi...what are you doing?" She asked me in a slightly worried tone.

"Stay out of this Nyx. I'm serious...you want NO part in what I am planning." I warned her trying to step to the side. She blocked my path.

"No RaXi...didn't I tell you before...you have to trust us more...you..."

"And what Nyx?! Drag you into MY REBELLION?!" I shouted losing my control. I gasped and turned away, realizing how I'd risen my voice...

"Rebellion...is that what you're doing...leaving? What happened RaXi...you HAVE to tell me..." She insisted.

"I looked straight at her. It was him Nyx...HE KILLED VINCENT!" I growled. "I cannot follow him any longer, not when every fiber of my being wants to tear him apart. If I stay...Triskix will be the one paying the price."

"What...?"

"That's right. He's threatened not MY life, but Triskix's. And I can do nothing...not until the pact is broken...which I swear I shall do. Until then, I have to leave..." I explained.

"You CAN'T...we need you RaXi...I need you!" Nyx shouted nearly in tears. She suddenly grabbed her eye. She seemed like she was in pain.

"Nyx?" I dropped my bag and grabbed the hand that had gone to her eye. "What's wrong...is it...." Before I could finish my sentence I felt another close by. Very close...and I didn't recognize the energy signature. "Who is that?" I walked to the door and opened it up. I found a man wandering the hall. He looked very confused. Yet he was a Nobody nonetheless. All I could make out was that he had black hair, and carried something wrapped protectively on his back. "You there! Halt!" I called out. He stopped and turned to face me.

Nyx had regained her composure and came up behind me. "He must be another new recruit." She whispered as we stepped out from my room and waited for his approach. "RaXi...you can't leave..."

"Later Nyx." I ordered her silence. "First, we address the issue at hand. We'll take him to Triskix."

"Uh, Is this Castle Oblivion in The World that Never Was?" He asked as he got close enough.

"It is." I answered. Taking a deep breath...I tried to cool down. I wouldn't lash my anger out on any but it's intended target. "Why do you ask?"

"Well...I got this...and...well see?" He stated handing me a paper of some sort. It looked like an invitation.

"What the...."

"It's the same paper the others had!" Nyx exclaimed. "I see now. Welcome to Oblivion, it would seem you were invited. My name is Nyx. This is RaXi. And you are?"

I gave Nyx a sideways glance for introducing me...but whatever. I waited for his response. All the while...thoughts of what I had to do next weighing upon my mind...
