Five days had passed since that incident with Etxel. Five days since those images of destruction, bloodshed, and despair had started to infiltrate my mind. Rather than allow anyone to witness my strife I had put on a charade of indifference and rarely spoke to anyone. There were a few words of concern—if you’re willing to call it that—during that duration of time, but otherwise the other residents kept their distance. The fools probably have it in their minds that I’ll eat them or something if they turn their back on me for too long, was my deduction as to their stares whenever I passed by. Hehe…good for them.
I managed to stop the images from flooding my mind when I heard the one they call “RaXi” materialize in front of another Nobody across the hall from where I stood bearing her message. Before they had a chance to question her motives she returned into the dark corridors to continue spreading the word. One could question why she didn’t see me, but I already have the answer to that: even though I invited myself into the castle with reassurance of my services, I continued manipulating the shadows around me to make my presence undetectable. Nothing personal to the fools within this castle…I just don’t like people being able to find me easy.
Hearing that there was going to be some excitement in the very near future, I decided it best to arrive in the hall with everyone else. Ignoring the gossip, I waited patiently for Triskix to finally show up and reveal what he had in store for us.
"Deidrex, Akane, Setxune, and Xyris will go to the Caribbean to search for information on the rival group. If you let it slip that you are part of this Organization I will be not only your executer but also your cremator....” Teeheehee…how charming…
"Xait, Amaterasux, Yuumeix, Xena, and Ximh will go to Hollow Baston. There appears to be a large amout of lesser nobodies and heartless forming. Destroy the heartless but bring back some of the nobodies. We'll need them later. Here use this," he tossed them a metal cylinder and continued his announcement, "It will seal them away until they are needed.
"Lexian, Yuumeix, Jinx, and Tsukux, go to Neverland...there are recent sightings that the rival group is trying to get something there....remember your job is information, but feel free to take them down if need be.
"RaXi, Rayix, Vexe, Rexikat, and Sparx, you five are off to the Beast's Castle. It has been confirmed that an extremely large group of heartless and nobodies are descending on that area for no apparent reason. We don't need rogues. If you can control them, fine, but otherwise destroy them.
"Nyx, Xakiah, Lerxia, and Xemmsur; an interesting power has appeared at the Hundred Acre Woods, if you don't mind. The Leader was unable to determine what this power is, so I need you to go and find out. Easy enough?” Aye, aye! Mon Capitan! After thinking that, I threw him a salute.
"Kyxsha, Aryax, since you two seem such good friends" I couldn’t make it out very well because of the distance, but I could’ve sworn that in that slight pause his eyes rolled to the top of his head. "You two as well as Xaikis and Saphirax will be going to…Agraba... there seems to be some problem with an over run of heartless find out why and destroy them all."
After retrieving our assignments, I went on over to the only person I could recognize; the girl called “Nyx.” She remained where she was in the crowd, so pinpointing her location was child splay. Not speaking a word to one another, we waited for the other two to show up. When they finally did I broke the initial ice by asking, “Before we go on our little…camping trip…how about we take the liberty of introducing ourselves a little first? And no…I have no intentions on going first.”
