"Nyx...you hear the voices too?" I heard someone say behind me. Jumping about a foot in the air I quickly turned around to look at Lexian and Xemmsur walking behind him. “L… Lexian? Xemmsur? Are you both okay?” My head was buzzing around with information and things to think of. Between the weird noises I heard coming from behind the rocks, and the strain of the portal and light used, to having a feeling that I forgot about someone that was here with us years ago.
My skin still tingled from the extra amount of light I used from before. I turned around so I could feel the full affect of the light trying to rejuvenate itself in the bright setting sun. Normally I didn’t like the sun that much, but when the raise hit my face I could feel myself slowly becoming stronger again. Welcoming it in, my legs began not to hurt that much anymore. Then I began to rattle on, unknowingly, to myself about the past. “Lex—Lexian. Do you remember the sunsets we used to watch? Remember… Demy would take us here and Triskix would refuse to go in the water.”
I could help but to see the past play out in front of me, young Triskix strictly saying ‘I will not participate in any silly water activities.’ I couldn’t help laughing at it, “Yet at the end of the day he would be a mad, wet, pyromaniac. Then right before our teachers would come to pick us up. We would stretch across the warm sand waiting for the sun to set. Bright wondrous colors would paint themselves across the sky, as the sun began to set over the massive ocean. Its colors would then wrap around us… enveloping us in their own spectacular colors. After that we would look up into the endless night sky watching as the stars would twinkle, as if winking down at us.”
Smiling at the old happy memories that slowly replayed in my head. “Lexian… do you think that. Well… we would be… be able to… do that again? Maybe even… even with… new friends? I… feel like we are forgetting someone, someone that was with us years ago. Though I can’t recall the person or the name I still know someone else was there I can feel it.” Turning around to look at Lexain’s face. I could tell that by the look in his face he was trying to form the words to say. I didn’t know why but the place where my nonexistent heart was, hurt, when I thought of what he may say. Trying to conclude the little conversation quickly. When I thought I might not like what he had to say I continued on smiling brightly at him. Trying to not let him see the doubtful expression. “We will just have to make that happen… then, Right!?”
Trailing my eyes back to the rocks I started to think more deeply about it. “Lexian… do you think something is there, in the rocks? That could be trying to make us remember something from the past?”
