An extreme wave of panic washed over me as the fire a worse around us. I pleaded with him to stop but nothing got through. He looked about ready to kill me. I wanted more than anything to just suddenly faint or disappear into nothing… unless we were all already there.

The fire around us jerked memories back into my head. Hot ones just like the present. I could see fire and a man, his hair spiky and red. I felt a familiarity around him, like I knew him….. well. But nothing else came. The images swirled around in my head while Triskix continued on.

Nyx’s voice was the one to calm us both down. She had saved me once again.

I tried to form the words ‘may I pleased be excused’ but they wouldn’t come. They would only set him off again, the last thing I wanted. I staggered around a little, maybe I was going to faint after all.
“I’m sorry.” I said in a small voice. I would be surprised if he heard me. I put hands behind my back and stared at the ground, trying to get my keyblade out of my hands.
