Back to the Castle that we call home...

"Is this what you want Marlex? Me?" RaXi whispered to Marlex. "My embrace, my love, my.... kiss?" I watched as RaXi drew closer yet to Marlex when she said the last part. "If I gave you what you wanted...I would freeze you from the inside out and you would turn to dust and fade away. Your love is suicide...therefore, I can NEVER grant you your wish Marlex. Give up on it...unless you seek death." With that RaXi pulled away quickly from the stunned man.

I watched as RaXi approached us, but she denied herself to look at Xakiah and myself in the eyes. It wasn’t like her. I mean yes RaXi wanted all of us to be tougher and pushed us to be so, but this way wasn’t like her. It had to be due to her joining up with her dark side. Whenever she turned into her Dark side everyone and herself pushed her away. RaXi never was taught to control that side, now that it is a part of her, who said that she could control it. I wonder just what pact she made with her other side.

"We return to Oblivion. The rest is up to the others. We no longer have any part of this folly." RaXi stated as she opening a portal up for us. Xakiah stepped through the portal first followed by RaXi and secretly I actually wanted to say, if just for a moment.

Everyone and everything was changing with everyone I thought I knew, I have even changed, but the only ones that seemed not to have changed was the people I knew here… at Zero. Tanex question ran threw my head again, and I began to wonder what he meant by apprentices. I mean he never mentioned Zero at all. So who all knows of his plan? It made me think of Triskix goal as well, ‘Uniting everyone.’ I wonder if they know of each other’s goals?

Realizing I have been lost in my own thoughts once again, I raised my head to look at the portal in front of me. Clenching my hands I turned back to look at Marlex, "Marlex...just get out alright? Please."

Hanging my head I followed them threw the dark opening, and for once I wished that I were surrounded by light. All I needed now was some good old 3 Days Grace songs and it would all be good! XD

The minute we steeped threw the portal something didn’t feel right, I could tell that RaXi felt it too. Before she could say anything though she fell to her knees in pain holding her head. I tried running to her scared that it had something to do with her other side, but before I could even reach her the same thing happened to me. Crying out I fell down holding my head, as old memories hit me hard.

It was dark everything seemed so dark, but it was okay for some reason I could still see even in the darkest times. Climbing the steep staircase I had to see the angelic moon, if only one last time. Reaching the top I raised my hand out to it, and without me know it, my body seemed to walk on it’s own, toward it. With each entrancing step I reached my hand out further to the bright moon. Something bright seemed to pool out of my hand and into the heart-shaped moon.

Not long after I could hear someone coming up the stairs, I knew I should run but my feet would not move. Death I knew would follow if I choose not to move, but yet something unseen held me down to that spot. I guess if I was to die I wished that it would be here, so maybe the glowing orb would embrace me. I didn’t want to be left alone again.

The seen changed and children were running around. A boy with deep red hair ran by, it seemed that he was the leader of the little pack of boys following behind him. An older girl was chasing after him yelling about something; she carried over grown sword easily over her head threatening the boys. I couldn’t hold back the laughter that broke threw my lips, as I realized that I was the little girl watching the whole thing.

Once again the image faded and changed to another one, but this time I was the one watching the seen unfold. Saix stood in front of a dusty brown hair girl yelling at her to leave. The girl looked around as if trying to find someone familiar to her to run to, but found that no one was around. Saix raised his voice once more in almost a growl for her to leave, but the girl didn’t understand why. She did understand why everyone was leaving, why they were being hunted, why everyone around was fading away, and why it hurt to watch.

“Sensei? But… but I don’t want to. Everyone left I don’t want to as well!”

“I will NOT Repeat myself again! I have no need to; you will listen to ME and THAT Is FINAL! Do you understand?” Saix stated coldly to the crying child.

“Y… yes sensei.” Opening a portal for the child he motioned for her to go threw. “When will you come sensei?” Without saying a word he looked away from the girl and started to close the portal she stood in.

“Sensei... Sensei! I will see you soon, right?… Right?! Sensei say something!… Please!…… Sensei Please Don’t Leave Me Alone! SAIX! SAIIIXXXXX!” The young girl yelled out as the opening that the man made closed, but she wouldn’t leave it like this.

The girl thought of the man as a father then anything else, she had to do something. While she still had the place in her head she quickly made a sloppy portal, that took her not to the exact place again but a little ways away from Saix. The child knew that in her sloppy state if she tried making another portal she would end up farther away, looking up the staircase she began to run up it. She ran up the stairs as fast as her small legs could carry her, she could hear shouts of a battle coming from the top of the stairs.

Tripping only a few times she finally could see the top of it, and heard her teacher’s voice speak. Relief ran threw her at the sound that is until she reached the top and saw the seen in front of her. Staggering back she let out a small gasp that went unnoticed by the group as she saw her teacher, her friend, the one she considered as a father, the first one she trusted, vanish away from her. Leaving her alone, and never seeing his familiar face ever again. Then everything turned black.

And our memories defeat us,
And I’ll end this direst.
But does anyone notice?

But does anyone care?
