"Well....when I took your memories and buried them inside your mind....I felt so bad about doing it...so I escaped from Citadel to try and give them back...." Anamx continued. "I...never wanted to take them in the first place. I'm sorry....."
I sighed and looked back at Lexian.....It would be so much easier if this kid wasn't so....whole......he acted so much like a whole it was annoying. The childish way he acted and his entire appearance didn’t even seem to fit the nobody format.
I sighed again and Lexian began rubbing his temple.
“Well can you give them all back now?” I asked.
“I….I can’t,” Anamx answered. “If I did you would all go into shock…..I have to do it slowly….I’m sorry…..”
“Stop saying that already,” Lexian said. “We forgive you already.”
“Just do it as quick as you can,” I answered.
Anamx gave Lexian and I a strange look and then smiled for the first time to himself.
“I…..I’m sorry,” Anamx answered.
I smacked my forehead. There was no hating this kid! He was just too innocent for his own good. I couldn’t stay mad at him. Suddenly the Leader’s thoughts jumped into my mind. He was seeing what I did.
Anamx…..hm…..a child of Mana……the Leader said to himself. He hadn’t even hidden his private thought.
What? I asked.
Realizing that he had said it aloud, the Leader sighed and told me to never mind. I sighed back realizing that he was keeping something from me that I knew I should know. The Leader left my mind without another word. I sighed and looked at Lexian. He was giving me a peculiar look.
“What?” I asked.
“He was in your head. I can tell now,” Lexian said straightforwardly. “What did he say?”
“He said…..’Anamx is a child of mana’ but what is mana?” I asked.
“Not a clue,” Lexian answered. The look on his face was so smug about not knowing that I had to stifle a laugh. Anamx looked down and didn’t say anymore.
Suddenly a memory started to appear in my mind. It was as if it came straight out of my own mind….a buried memory…..

"Someone's here," Minx said quietly.
"What did you say éminence grise??" Le Faix asked.
"Someone's here" Minx said again hearing he own words.
Le Faix ran out of the room quickly leaving Minx alone again.
“RaXi….Nyx….and….a traitorous Xakiah,” Minx said into the quiet room. “Why are you all here……”
“They are here to subdue you Lady Minx,” Aidex answered from her seat against the back wall. Minx looked over somewhat tiredly. The effects of using such a large amount of power were beginning to take effect.
Minx put her head back on the pillow and closed her eyes.
“RaXi….has taken everything from me….what more does she want? She’s taken my toys…..Verex….he loves only her…..She’s taken my brother…..well….Nim’s brother’s nobody….but still my brother….she is close to him in a way I can’t be…..she even made me question Xerebus-sama…..and…..she thinks she’s better than me…….” Minx said to herself curled up on the bed. “RaXi why are you taking everything from me…..”
“Lady Minx….they are coming, or rather…..one is coming now…..” Xyta said quietly.
“I wish they would all disappear…..” Minx answered. “I wish everything would disappear into nothingness forever….”
Suddenly a piece of mirror appeared in Minx’s hand. It was a tint of yellow and shone like a star in the room. Minx’s fingers tightened over it until blood started trickling down her fingers. The mirror seemed to suck it in and took the form of an orb. Minx looked into the orb at the shattered minds of Aidex and Xyta…..her dolls whose minds were forever encased in glass.
