Pressing Matters

Triskix

After Volt and Sylph were defeated, Ranx, Nevx, and I headed towards the far wooden door. A metal lock bound the door to the wall, but with a swift motion I slashed at the metal and began melting the hinges off. Before the door could fall forwards, it seemed like a weight on the other side shoved it back towards us. I backed away with one quick step, but my eye never left the spot the door had fallen.

Stepping out into the room, the disordered and confused nobodies of Castle Oblivion stepped out of the dungeon they had been kept it. I would have stopped to wonder how they had managed to get so far out before I noticed Minx forcing her way through them. At her heals was Tamex followed by Xakiah.

"Everyone keep moving!" Minx shouted not bothering to look where she was running.

Suddenly caught in a position of looking back and moving forwards, Minx tripped and nearly landed face first on the floor. Catching herself quickly, Minx resumed her stature as if nothing had happened. I sighed and shook my head. This was not how I planed it, and yet I would have to deal for now at least.

To begin I had to take control of the situation. Nobodies were beginning to panic as they searched for an escape, and they panic unnerved me to the point of no end.

"ENOUGH!" I roared, and flames leaped out of the crevices and folds of the walls and floor.

Everyone seemed frozen in that moment, but I kept my voice firm.

"I am Triskix," I said sharply. "Leader of Organization Oblivion, and I will be heard."

No one spoke. Minx looked at Tamex and then resumed looking at me with a look crossed between confusion and relief.

"I have come to release you from the dungeons, but I see that you have already managed to come far," I continued. I didn't have time for a long speech, but this had to be spoken. "But I will take command of this. I refuse any chaos that can be avoided."

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Ranx rolling his eyes and Nevx elbowing him lightly.

"All of you move in a calm fashion. DO NOT open a portal and flee like cowards or I will personally hunt you down later and watch you fade into nothingness with my scythe at your throat."

No one moved.

"Everyone up the stairs and through the hallways," I continued. "Spread through out the castle and alert me if you find any of Xraktos's summons still in the castle. That is all for now."

With a sharp movement I turned and started up the stairs. I heard silence for a moment and then whispers, but I ignored them. I didn't have time to deal with such chaos. I had finished my mission, and my skin itched. It was as if my scars were coming alive again. Xraktos was close.
