"Heh...I knew you'd pop up out of nowhere..." Lexian said in an unfazed tone. “Well someone needs to lighten up the mood in this damp castle. Not anything really, just busy thinking about Akane. I can’t help but to…” I knew Lexian probably wouldn’t like what I was going to say, thankfully Xemmsur was there to cut the sentence off. She sounded unsure how to say what she wanted to say. “It is okay Xemmsur. You can ask us anything.”

"I need to know if there were other nobodies here before us.... maybe even while you guys were here..." I could see that she was nervous to talk about it. Unwrapping my arms from around Lexian’s neck. I did a quick look at him, not knowing what to say to her. 'Nobody'(no pun XD) really wanted to know about the original members I was surprised she wanted to. I could feel something inside of me scream out ‘Tell her already’, and another part nagged at me ‘How could you forget!’

“Um…” Sighing I could feel the pain from the past come up, and how we couldn’t stop the unseemly events as they played out. “Y... yes. There ‘was’ 13 members that occupied this castle ten years ago… well exactly ten years ago tomorrow. Lexian, was there,” motioning over to him I continued on. “As well as Triskix, ReXi, Deidrex, Akane, Ayrax and myself.” Casting my gaze down at my feet I thought of my wish I made a long ago. Looking back up I smiled brightly to Xemmsur putting childish sadness away. “But! Now they are alive and out there somewhere. I hope that they ar—, I mean, they are. They are just in their wholes and forgot about everything that happened so long ago.” I heard my words come out of my own mouth, but without fully believing in my own hope it was like someone else said it.

“Do you remember something about your past Xemmsur? Is that why you ask this?”
