I didn't understand why I was crying......It made no sense what so ever. No logic in the world could explain it, and I wanted it to stop. I wanted to be ok again......
“You are not doing it alone, and that is final, Fire Boy. You maybe the second in command, but I know where all the high-pressured water hoses are!” Nyx laughed. I managed to smirk a bit, but I had bent my head far enough down to where my hair was keeping much of my face concealed.
“Anyway,” Nyx started standing up. I didn't raise my head but just listened.
“Remember when all of us went up to see the leader together?” Nyx asked. A starnge fummel of emotion rounded my head, and I nodded.
“I remember when we were in there you seemed to be holding your arm a lot. So just remember this, I am watching you Fire boy! If it looks like our dear sweet leader is pulling some unnecessary strings on you, I swear on the full moon, that I will find Xaldin load him up with beans and stick them in a Very Bright closet and lock the doors and close the air vents!” Nyx laughed.
A deranged idea went through my head, and I almost laughed....almost......
“But seriously Triskix, you are far better then him. I can’t just sit here and watch you suffer, I will not do that. I had to watch silently as Saix was slowly tortured and betrayed by someone he trusted. I will not to that again. You are strong Triskix, but even Joan of Arc couldn’t face everyone alone.” Nyx laughed.
Another deranged thought of who Joan of Arc was went though my head. I had always liked studying the past, and Joan of Arc made me want to laugh again.
“So if you need anything let us know, I will let you rest and tell you if anything happens. Thanks for the talk Tris—Triskix.” Nyx said leaving. I sighed to myself. I was tired and stiff. And on top of that I had cried.....man life sucked. I leaned back into the bed a bit and found that one of my lateral muscles was trying to tighten itself as tight as possible. I sighed and formed a spark of blue fire at my finger tip. I placed it over my skin and the muscle relaxed instantly.
Remembering how I got the blue fire irritated me. It was after Nim seperated Kristain and I. Nim was special...even for a whole she had powers unlike anyone's. And one of those powers was an exstreme form of healing. When she split Kristain and I up she had accidentally infused a bit of her own power into me giving me the blue fire......Originally, Nim could use the power whenever she wanted and never got tired, but that wasn't the case for me. Using the power was tiring and on top of that I got an image of Nim moved to the front of my mind when I used it.......I sighed to myself, but suddenly a portal opened.
The Leader stepped out his hood up as usual. I didn't bother getting up, but just looked over at him.
"I didn't expect you to be so weak," the Leader started.
"Sorry," I answered. "I still don't have much control of things.....I....."
"Did you give them any information?" the Leader asked.
"Oh you mean that....." I answered. I closed my eyes as I felt the Leader running straight though my mind. He found the tourture scene and examined it like someone would examine a medical book closely but still not fully understanding. When he fianlly left my mind I breathed out a bit.
"Good," the Leader said calmly. "It seems you didn't break......... I'm sorry I overlooked your damaged internal organs. If not for Healx your ribs would have torn your lungs and that would have been the end of you."
I smirked at him, and he seemed to laugh.
"Like I could die," I answered.
"True enough," the Leader answered. "Then I rebuke that apology."
"Fine with me," I answered. "Now are you going to let me sleep or what?"
"You get a few days of sleep. I gave RaXi a week to heal up. In that time I sugest you get things under control. Oh and I believe it would serve you to know that I have located the dimension of nothingess, the area where all nobodies fade to....."
"What!" I nearly yelled.
"But that doesn't mean I have accessed it," the Leader answered. "I have simply found it's location in correspondance with the rest of the worlds."
"So then...." I stopped and sighed.
"Yes," the Leader answered.
When I smile......
You know I'm lying.....
