All I needed was the gourd given to me by Verex, and my spare Organization Cloak. Since my other was soaked through with blood. I put it on and departed. No one seen me leave. I portaled outside and started walking...straight for the main gate. Yet I quickly noticed I had a welcoming party awaiting my arrival. Minx, and another child was there.
I halted just before her...unwavering, a look of determination on my face. "What is it now Minx? I thought you wouldn't see me again? Or do you forget your own words?" I smirked.
"Shut up you!" She shouted in rage. I was slightly surprised how angry she actually seemed. "YOU! If it wasn't for you then Verex wouldn't have been hurt!!! What did you do to him!"
"What did I do?!" I cackled. "Minx...that's....priceless..."
"Hey, stop laughing at her! You icy witch!" The girl next to her shouted.
I fell completely silent and glared at the insolent child. How dare she insult me... "Stay out of this little girl. Unless you want this witch to silence YOU."
She seemed just a bit frightened...but putting on a brave face stood before Minx protectively. "I am Le Faix! You can't frighten me and you won't hurt Minx!"
I smirked once more and began moving forward. She took the defensive...but didn't know how to act when I simply walked right past them. "I don't have time for the antics of such immature children..." I dismissed.
"RAXI WAIT!" Minx suddenly shouted with all of her being. I stopped and turned around...waiting for her to speak.
"What did you mean...earlier...if you didn't hurt Verex...who did?" She asked quietly.
"Don't you know?" I smiled. "It was your Master Xerebus. But why should you care about Verex, Minx? After all, YOU condone his servitude...do you not? Or don't you know that either? Verex is being FORCED to live there...he isn't free like you or I. Xerebus has made him his SLAVE."
"That's not true..." Minx mumbled. I could tell I was getting into her mind.
"SHUT UP WITCH!" Le Faix screamed.
"It's okay Le Faix..." Minx muttered, she came closer to me. Not in a threatening way...but as though she needed something. "Since you seem to know so much...tell me RaXi...who is Kristian?"
My mouth dropped...and my eyes widened a bit. I bent to her level and brought my face within an inch of her own. Looking into her eyes I questioned her, "Why do you ask? Do you yourself do not know the answer?! Are you not Nim?"
At hearing this name, she grabbed her head. "NIM? Who is that?! WHO AM I?!!!" She screamed.
Le Faix wouldn't hold back anymore. She released a light powder into the air...scattering it from the palms of her hands. It sparked slightly...and resembled fairy dust. "I'll kill you witch!" She shouted.
I didn't move an inch. Her particles suddenly seemed to dart at me, seeking to rip through my body. But just before they hit, each and every speck stopped in it's place. She looked shocked.
"Did you think that just because you were children I would underestimate you?" I lectured. "Don't you feel the slightest chill on the air? I've frozen over all your little particles. Ice obeys ME. And my will is STRONGER than yours." I smiled arrogantly.
She fell to her knees in defeat. I walked to Minx once more. Putting my hand on her shoulder to get her attention I spoke softly. "Listen closely. Everything you have been told...all that you know...is most likely based on lies. I know you are lost...perhaps they've messed with your memories as well." I explained. "If you truly seek answers, all I can tell you is to ask Triskix yourself. But you must go to him seeking the truth...not his head. Do you understand?"
She looked up at me questionably. "Triskix...so he does know the answers..."
"More than I can ever offer you..." I smirked. "However, she cannot accompany you...you must go alone...and as I said, for answers, not a battle. Do you agree to these terms? I will take you there...but afterwards...it's up to you to act accordingly."
"You would take me to him? But..."
"Yes or no will suffice. I WAS in a bit of a rush, if you hadn't noticed." I stated quickly.
"Yes! I...I uh...want to know who I am..." She mumbled. "Le Faix...please wait here for me...you will right?"
"Of course Minx...but...should you go? It's probably a trap set by this Ice Witch..." Le Faix rebuked.
"Call me a Witch one more time...and I'll strip you of your wings fairy!" I snapped. She fell silent. I opened a portal. "Hurry up."
We walked through, directly into Triskix's room. He looked as though he were just about to fall asleep. "RaXi?!" He jumped up.
"You have a visitor Triskix..." I stated as Minx followed me inside.
Triskix formed his scythe instantly.
"She comes to talk. Put that away." I ordered. "But I have to go now. So take care...and don't do anything stupid." I walked back to my portal but stopped at Minx's side. I mumbled so only she could hear. "Cause any trouble at all here...hurt ANYONE here...I will kill you Minx. That's no idle threat...but I think you realize that. After all, you're a smart girl...if you weren't...you wouldn't come seeking the truth."
"Gee...thanks a lot RaXi." I heard Triskix mumbled as I left. This time I headed all the way outside the gates. Now to which world...I would have to hurry up and decide already...
~RaXi
