"That's Marlex," I whispered. "He's here for RaXi." I heard Xemmsur say.
I knew what we had to do but I couldn’t help but to see the boy from so many years ago. I could feel RaXi’s blind rage and that was when I knew that ‘she’ was close to escaping. I had to think of something to say to Xemmsur, I didn’t want her to get involved in this. I didn’t want to see her fade when everything turned upside down.
“Xemmsur. I need you to go back find Triskix, talk to him first, if you can. Tell him that we found RaXi and to get the infirmary ready for our return.” After opening a portal back to the castle, I turned back around and watched the guards argue about if he was from Zero.
“Please, someone has to tell them and RaXi… she wouldn’t want to seem weak in front of everyone.” It was half-trueful, I just didn’t tell Xemmsur about the part were ‘RaXi may not see us as friends and go in a killing spree’.
“Then after I get her out of here, we may need to do some cleaning up. If Zero persist on attacking as we head back to the castle. Think you will be up to that?” I quietly laughed to her, hoping that this wouldn’t be the last time I see her. If things go as they did years ago, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about Zero following us back to the castle
“If we are not back by the end of the day…… We will see you soon Xemmsur.”
I knew that she wouldn’t like the plan I made, but once I got to RaXi she probably wouldn’t be herself for long. Making a portal for myself into RaXi’s dungeon, I didn’t let Xemmsur comment back. Smiling at her I walked backwards into the portal and watched the portal close behind me.
Making quick work on the door I put up a barrier sealing the cell from any outside contact. Turning away from the door I looked right into the eyes of RaXi, but they were changing, ‘she’ wanted control.
I could feel my mouth move to say her name, but when it came out… it didn’t sound like my own.
I began to remember when this happened so many years ago. RaXi’s other side took over and no one was safe, thankfully Saix was—. I couldn’t stop her last time, but that was ten years ago and I wasn’t about to lose my friend to ‘her’. Clenching my fists I stood up straighter and started walking to my best friend smiling to her.
“RaXi… every—everything is going to… is going to be okay now! I promise!” Something warm and wet ran down my cheek, I tried holding it in.
“No matter what happens here… I… I promise you it is going to be okay. I will not let her take you…”
Kneeing down to her I could hear her say something, but I paid no heed. I reached up to the bonds to free her… and that is when everything turned upside down.

How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
