"And your report Ximh?" The Leader's voice echoed snapping me out of my bored trance. Xemmsur and Nyx had left...followed by Rexikat...in a flurry of tears. I never expected to see HER like that. It was unnerving and I wanted to go and help her...but I really didn't know what I'd be able to do. I doubted she wanted anyone to see her like that anyway...and so I sat back. Kyxsha seemed rather angry as well...I couldn't tell...but the Leader had bothered her. She was glaring at him from beneath her hood. I could tell by her vibes.
I cleared my throat and began. "I reported to Hollow Bastion...quickly discovering it was NOT Hollow Bastion." At this I looked squarely at Triskix...hoping he would take responsibility for his MISINFORMATION. He seemed too wrapped up in his own thoughts to care...so I continued. "We did as asked, capturing a large quantity of lesser nobodies...which I've already handed over. Yet while we were there, we encountered Organization Zero. In the form of a small boy first. His name Maxx I believe. He seemed interested in Xait...if that means anything. Shortly after, more members appeared. Domix and another by the name of Verex I believe. Verex did not fight...he merely stood idle. They fled when Nyx and Xemmsur appeared...but I'm not sure why they left. I doubt it was out of fear." I paused a moment. "Upon my return to the Castle, I happened upon Kyxsha...who was injured. But you already know this...for you promptly sent me out on another mission. In Mount Olympus." I glared at him for a moment before continuing. "As requested, I quickly discovered the source of lesser nobodies and heartless. It was all because of Hades tournament, being conducted on a regular basis. I was asked to participate...and so I did. Following, I reported back to the castle immediately. End of report."
It was quiet a moment.
"Well did you win?" The Leader voiced...breaking the silence.
"What?"
"The Tournament...did you win it?" I could feel him smiling. "I mean...you weren't very...descriptive about your opponents."
I raised my head a bit. He knew more than I'd told him...now he wanted me to SAY it. He wanted me to tell him how I'd been forced to face my own brother...that I'd met with my sister. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
"No." I stated irritably. I HATED admitting I lost at anything. "I did not win the tournament." I ended it there. Sitting back down in my chair with a thud. He knew how to push my buttons...my mood had just steadily declined.
So now what? Did we get to hear what Triskix was up to? Our diligent 2nd in command...or was this meeting all but over?
Ximh
