"His name was Kristian," I answered, "His name is Kristian."
"Triskix...Kristian is your somebody right?"
I felt my face change with a sudden shock that went though me. I hadn't realized it, but I had told them....I had told them thhat Kristian and I had become whole for a while....I tried to laps everyone into silence, but RaXi continued.
"IS Kristian...?" she repeated. "So then...he's out there again."
RaXi was smart....she knew very well that Kristian was out there again...why had I acted so blindly and told them? It wasn't like me at all...Kristian....that name mixed with an image of his face made me want to burn something. I hated him for what he had done to me in those few years...he gave me an existance and then ripped it away after he realized that I wanted to go back home....to my home....Castle Oblivion....
Nyx asked us again about Marlex. I closed my eyes and a childish face slowly appeared. So there was a nobody named Marlex..... but his face was all that I could see. No memories of anything else.
"It's been blocked. From all of us." RaXi said interrupting my thoughts. "No memory is this hard to unlock...unless someone wants us to forget."
I looked straight at RaXi. If indeed she was right and someone was blocking it from us it....the only two that held that kind of power at this point was the Leader and the rival Boss.....
"It'll reveal itself in due time Nyx. For now...we've things to tend to." RaXi continued interrupting my thoughts again. She really needed to stop doing that if she expected me to think at all.... "First off...I'm sure the Leader needs a report, Triskix. Lexian, you and I should get some rest...and Nyx, that arm....yeah....it needs to be treated. So let's go..." she started walking, then turned back and signaled for us to follow.
I sighed and started walking. RaXi was hitting all kinds of points today...I would have to face the Leader after this....and it was going to be one hell of a talk....
"By the way Triskix. Make sure you tell that arrogant jerk that my mission was a success. Or else...he'll make me pay for it later...please. Don't let him know we didn't find Nyx in the castle...and one more thing." I only heard half of what RaXi said.
Suddenly RaXi grabbed me by the shoulder and I slowed down and walked off to the side.
"I'm begging you...please keep Vincent...I mean...Verex between us if you can. Until I find out more....I really don't need him holding that over my head." RaXi answered.
I gave RaXi a sideways glance. It was hard to try and find the words that would explain...
"The Leader....has a nasty habit of getting in my head," I answered, "But I will try....."
"Triskix what did you promice to him exactly?" RaXi asked.
"I promiced that I would serve him as long as I exist and that as long as I was under his servitude all my being belonged to him. I am his weapon......my scythe is his to chose who it kills....." I answered.
"Triskix why would...." RaXi asked.
"I already said my reason a while ago....I did it for the sake of power," I answered.
