The Leader opened a portal to a large white area surrounded by high backed chairs.
"The....." I started.
"Did you think when I fixed the castle that I would destroy this sacred place?" the Leader asked. "No."
"I didn't believe you would destroy it.....it is just seeing it after so long....." I answered. I looked around at each of the seats and almost seeing the Organization members themselves sitting in them. Axel had his arms crossed, Demyx was trying to avoid getting hit by a lance, Larxene was sitting like some kind of princess (grrr that woman....), and Roxas was sitting in the last chair......I almost smiled to myself.....almost....
"You seem to be having a good time," the Leader said somewhat drolly. "Now then, we will have the meetings in here. It is a secure place away from the rest of the castle."
"It's almost depressing," I answered. "To see empty chairs...."
"Don't talk like you have feelings Triskix. None of us do," the Leader answered harshly.
"I know," I answered. "I was just saying it would be.....if I could feel."
"Yes, but then if you could feel then you would be a whole and then you wouldn't be here to see it and therefore you wouldn't be able to tell if you feel anything in the room," the Leader answered.
"Yes I know," I answered.
Suddenly an image of Marlex standing at the base of one of the chairs appeared. I blinked and in a second it was gone, but the fact of the matter was I saw it.....
"That was...." I started.
"Hm?" the Leader asked.
"Never mind......" I answered. "I think I am going somewhat crazy....."
"Hm.." was the Leader's answer.

Minx sat on her bed with her knees against her ribs and her head on her knees. She had stopped herself from crying out for Xerebus, but the fact that he wasn't there made her afraid. Emrix asked several times if she had wanted him to stay with her, but she refused each time.
"Lady Minx.......are............you ok?" Aidex asked.
"I.....will be ok........I will be ok....................." Minx kept repeating to herself quietly. "That man.......Triskix's leader.......was scarrier than.....I had imagined....no wonder Xerebus....wants to destroy him...."
"Lady Minx........" Xyta started. "Someone.........is coming......."
Minx picked her head up quickly and waited for the door to open. Serix stepped fowards staring at her.
"You're pale child," Serix started. There was a dead tone in his voice, but a soemwhat form of irritation was forming.
"Where.....where is Xerebus-sama," Minx cried a bit into her knees. "I....I...I need him......"
"He is busy trying to track down a few things, he doesn't have time right now....." Serix said calmly.
"I.....I want him Serix! Bring him to me! I need him!" Minx cried out again sobbing into her knees.
"He will come if he wishes to. I will not bring him to you. I am loyal to him not to you," Serix answered.
Serix sighed to himself. He did not like the child, but she did put up a large part of the defences for the castle. She had to stay calm to keep the defenses going, and her spike of fears and things had radiated though the castle like wild fire creating many holes in the defecnes grid.
Minx cried more until even Aidex had started to cry as an influx tie to Minx's own emotions.
"Stop crying," Serix ordered harshly. "What would Xerebus think to have to come home to this. He is stressed enough as it. Enough."
Minx stopped and looked up at Serix. Tears faded away and a dead stare was left.
"I'm Sorry," Minx answered. "I won't do it again....."
"No you won't," Serix answered walking though the doorway back to the hall. "Because if you lower the defenses again I will see to it that Xerebus confines you."
"Fine.....Serix-sama," Minx answered resting her head on her knees again.
