I'd stormed off in such a rush...all because I couldn't face him. Not as angry as I was. Just what was he playing at anyway?! That Triskix! I mean, at first, it's all about the matches being "death matches" and then, he doesn't want anyone to die? Even if HE were to die!!! So reckless...just like back then....perhaps I misjudged him. I smiled again...he really hasn't changed all that much....he's just gotten better at hiding it. Suddenly my train of thought was interrupted. Xaikis had appeared before me.
"Here..." She stated offering me a tape. "You can borrow this..."
Without another word she placed it in my hands and vanished. I stood in awe for a moment... "What was this?" My eyes narrowed. "She could've waited a moment....so I could tell her.....I don't have a VCR..." T~T
"No matter...I'm sure this is just an offering of friendship...whatever happens to be compiled on this cassette..." I mumbled picking up my small bag. I really didn't have much with me...and I had just given away one of my most precious possessions. Clenching my fist I mumbled quietly...."Triskix...you had better APPRECIATE that!" In the very least I felt squared away with him...I didn't want to owe him for saving my life.... >,>
I stopped in the center of the entrance hall. Hmm....which way? I took a dagger from my sleeve and cast it straight in the air. It came down, the blade pointing South. Mmm...South it is. And so I made my way towards the South Tower. Climbing up several flights, I decided to make the Fifth Floor my new home. I walked clear to the end of the hall and slowly opened the final door available. Walking to the bed, I threw down my bag and approached the window. Pulling the curtains aside, I let the moonlight pour in. Taking a deep breath I felt relieved...for the first time since my return here.
"I wonder how it all ended with Nyx...I didn't even have a chance to speak with her. Ugh...." I sighed and fell on the bed, my arm over my eyes. "Coming here...why did I return? Maybe deep down I did consider them my friends...though we never truly labeled each other as such. Things just fell apart after...after...Marluxia...."
I rolled over. The memories would never disappear. They refused to fade away...to leave me be! Not so long as I was here...in the Castle where it all began...and ended. Not until things were settled.
Was the monument still there? Perhaps...I should go and find it....
Standing up, I left my room in search of the room where the monuments stood...where I had shed tears of nothingness to the darkness. Not once...but twice...
I stand silently in a mist...a haze called memory...I cannot move or escape...only watch helplessly as those I love perish before my eyes...over and over again." ~RaXi
