Even though I had followed everyone around...and I was more than ready to head to that castle...something felt off. I had sensed a burst of electricity not too long ago...then it was gone. It felt like it had come from the bottom-most part of the castle too. They all argued about who was going...and how...I added a few comments...but still, it was bugging me.
Someone with their hood up came and ordered us to stop. "Who does he think HE is...our Leader or something..." I mumbled. But Triskix had heard me.
"That's exactly right Ximh."
I suddenly realized I'd said that out loud. I fell silent...but RaXi didn't. She was angry again...and didn't seemed at all intimidated by this man. Before they could start their battle of words though...I wanted to butt in for a sec.
"Hey...can you all wait for me here a moment. There's something I have to check on before this is settled...it's really bugging me..." I said preparing to open a portal. "I can't believe no one else sensed it..."
"I told you all to stay still." The Leader said.
"Relax relax...I'll be right back. Anyway...I'm just going to the basement of this 'castle'." I didn't stop and formed my portal. Like RaXi...I didn't really care who this dude thought he was...
I ended up in the dungeon of the castle. That's where I'd felt it. A burst of electric...then nothing. There was water all over the floor...and a little ways down...a girl chained up to the wall. I made my way over.
"Hey...you alive?" I asked.
She looked up at me...she looked like she'd shocked herself. I almost laughed...but with the condition she was in...I stopped myself.
"Wait...don't I know you?" I thought...I knew she was someone I knew...
"Amaterasux numbskull!" She moaned. "You intruded on me...Rexikat??"
"RIGHT!" I shouted in shocked realization. (Get it...shocked X3)"So...want some help...you should be nicer to me you know?"
She didn't say anything. Maybe she was in worse shape than I thought. I took her down, and throwing her over my shoulder, walked through the portal and back into the crowd...the air was tense...but they were still wondering what was gonna happen.
Ximh
