After the Leader excused Xemmsur and I to leave, I took one look back to Triskix and Lexian and smiled. Hoping my thought would reach to them, ‘Don’t worry we will bring RaXi back safe. I promise with all my being.’
Turning away we opening the door to leave the meeting room and closed it behind us. In the hallway Xemmsur and I both came to the conclusion that we should port to our rooms and clinic to grab whatever we needed, then meet back up at the gates.
Rexikat looked so upset about what happened, and not having anything to bring with me to the castle. I had nothing in my room to get so I decided to head toward her room.
“Rexikat?” Knocking softly on the door I tried calling out to her again. “Rexikat, it’s me Nyx. Can I come in? RaXi… she isn’t… I don’t feel her at Zero’s. I think the Villains have her, and using her as a bargaining tool.” All I could her is a slight shuffle somewhere inside her room.
“We will bring RaXi back.” Sighing I let myself slide down the door to sit on the floor. “You have to believe in us. Please? Xemmsur and I… we have the will to find her, and we will, there is no question about that. We have lost so much around us we will not lose anyone else. I know that Xemmsur will fight and fight bravely and whoever gets in the way will be tested.” Rising to my feet I hoped that she could hear me.
“Everyone is brought to the test sooner or later, as apprentices we accept that like we always have. Please, I ask that you put your faith in us. We are stronger that what we seem.”

Sweet is the memory of distant friends!
Like the mellow rays of the departing sun,
it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
