The worst thing about being the person in charge was that, apart from ordering people around.. i had NOTHING to do... I watched as everyone left to carry out the tasks i had given them. Ximh left with Tamex... i good idea seeing as Tamex would need someone there telling him to get on with making the bombs instead of chatting up the girls....
I felt around the castle with my air... our gaps in defence where large... and unlike Citadel Abyss we didn't have someone who could protect our walls... it would be difficult to say the least but we could do it. But then something struck me... Rexikat was coming BACK to the castle... hadn't she been at the meeting i could swear i saw her there with Ximh. I opened a porthole grabbed something from my room and then appered in the corridor before her. leaning against the wall i waited until she walked near me.
"i thought you might want this. It's for protection. A Hybrid of my Feirce tiger lily and snapping turtle fern... It has the loyalty of my tiger lily but it's got the vicious untamed talent of my snapping turtle." I handed it to her as it tried to snap at my fingers and she looked at it... the expression on her face i could not work out so instead i continued with my explanation.
"I call it SNAP DRAGON. I figured that seeing as your the spirit of the Tigress it might like you more then it likes me.... takes after it mum.... she tries to bite me as i'm watering the damn thing... but i love it...."
the plant began to.... Purr?? as Rexikat held it, but as i looked at her another thought sprung to my mind.
"Where were you? i thought i saw you at the meeting with Ximh, but you just came back through a porthole right?"
I watched her and tried to study her movements.....

Le Faix backed up as Minx layed down on her bed. for some reason whenever she was around Minx her attitude changed. Normally she was a quiet girl that would hang on to her sister's skirt and never let go but that wasn't the case when she was near Minx. even with everyone else in the castle she looked like a shy little girl who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Minx summoned a Mirror against Le Faix
"What the....." Le Faix said by the sudden surprise.
"You won't be able to break it so leave me alone," Minx said curling up into a fetal position.
"Five minutes ago you were happy as a clam in the sea and now you're deader than Jack the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town," Le Faix started, she had seen Jack when visiting with her sister, a pang of greif went through her but she knew that Minx was feeling the same pain and she felt like she needed to comfort her.
"I'm just tired," Minx answered.
"Does he seriously mean that much to you?" Le Faix continued.
"He's like a brother I never had or ever will have. It's the same as why you want to kill Kyxsha because she killed your sister," Minx answered. "I can never have a brother, so Xerebus-sama fills the void." Kyxsha that voice was poison to her ears. If Le Faix ever saw her agian she would not fail like she did last time. Last time she had been so fustrated and greif sticken over her sister but now she was angry and she wanted revenge.
"And what about that guy you went to see at Oblivion?" Le Faix asked hoping she would calm down.
"He's nobody," Minx answered tightening into an even smaller ball.
The mirror defense around Citaldel began to strengthen with the release of Minx's energy.

"I want to protect Xerebus-sama and my Verex-sama......but Xerebus-sama is fine on his own....so I do things for him.....and Verex-sama loves RaXi....so he constantly throws himself into danger....and Marlex-sama, Serix-sama, Tanex-sama, and Xeros-sama neither talk to me nor play with me....and still I feel the need to protect them.....because I don't want to lose them...." Le faix knew what she ment. but unlike Minx she was only a little girl and she wasn't strong enough to protect those she cared for like Minx could. All she could do is watch as they sufferd.

Suddenly the mirrors around the castle strengthened to where they could be partly visible. A bluish tint occupied the areas where the mirrors were, but they surrounded the castle impenetrably.
"Minx are you ok?" Le Faix asked feeling the power radiating out of Minx.
"I don't want to be lonely....I don't want to be lonely.....I don't want to be alone...I want.....Kristian!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly the mirrors surrounding the castle shattered and absorbed into the castle itself. The defensive power of Citadel was at it's max. Minx curled up even more. The holes where the mirrors had once left openings were gone. Nothing could enter or leave the castle.....

"Minx what are you doing!" Le faix shouted running to the window.......
