Lecture

"Triskix! You baka! Do you even understand what you are doing?" Nyx nearly yelled at me, "You are so immature and intolerable! How in the worlds did you become the second in command anyways? Did all the idiots that come raining from the sky get a high position like yours? And what is the big idea with having everyone fight. Do you even remember what it was like when the original 13 fought each other? No I bet you just ignored it and went off in your own little fiery world that you always stayed in with all those pranks and running through the castle and blowing up things!

"And after ten years when I finally figured you would grow up enough to actually take responsibility for your actions, but noooooooo I come here and what is the first thing that comes to mind? He lets have a great huge fight and see who is the biggest knuckle head here! I swear where is your brain?

"I bet your bain was burned by Axel when he was cooking and you just never grew another one. That would explain so much about it.....either way I am going to have a serious talk with the Leader about you being second in command and running around like you own everything and everyone!

I was pretty sure my ears were starting to bleed. Lexian soon followed just in time to get involved in the rant too.

"And you Lexian! You and Triskix are the most stupid people ever to walk the face of these words! What is the big idea going and nearly blowing each other to smithereens? You could have seriously killed each other with that type of power! Do you have any idea what could have happened? No I bet you don't think that far in advance! I can't tell if you two even have brains!

I had the sudden urge to walk away slowly, but I didn't escape Nyx's eye.

"Triskix I am not done! Now you listen and you listen good! If you don't shape up and start acting like an actual second in command should, so help me I will tie you to the top with rubber bands (rubber doesn't burn) of the tower and leave you there! And when all the new nobodies come up and see a hot-headed pyro boy screaming his head off to be let down they are all just going to laugh.

"And when you finally die or whatever up there you will be a monument to the worlds of what a stupid and childish leader you were!"

Nyx stopped to take a breath. Lexian was short of laughing at me, but I let it go.

"I have matured," I said carefully as not to start Nyx on another rant, "And I didn't do this on a whim....I truely wanted to see the extent of everyone's powers. That is the reason for this test. If I hadn't said life or death they would have all held back and I would never know how much someone actually knows. And as for the blowfest with Lexian, I just wanted to see if he had grown any in his powers which I believe he has."

"Triskix....." Nyx said staring at me.

"I have matured," I answered, "And I will keep order in this castle. There in't anything I wouldn't or couldn't do."

"Triskix....." Nyx started again.

"What?" I asked.

"Never mind......."
