Before I knew it, the attack was on. I was totally pumped and raring to go...yet it was Rexikat DRAGGING me there. heh....
She gave me the "privilege" of setting the central bomb, so that's what I did. I was completely cloaked, and quite frankly, it was weird. Usually, I'd have my presence out in the open...in order to invite battles...yet now I felt hidden like a coward. I wondered just how long it would be until I ran into Domix...after all...it seemed I always DID in this place.
Amazingly, I set my bomb without a hitch...got it detonated and everything. As I met back up with the other three members of my team, Triskix and Lexian showed up. They were yelling about how OUR CASTLE was being destroyed alongside this one. I told them what I knew, and as they took off to contain the other bombs, I shouted for my team to get out. My top priority was to get them to safety now.
"Come on! Let's get out of here now while we can!" I shouted and waited for them to run ahead of me. Amaterasux and Xait moved immediately. Yet Rexikat lingered for some reason. I turned to see her just as a sword made contact with her head. Electric sparked wildly around me with rage as I preceded to attack her assailant. The man glared at me, with sharp, piercing determination. And then he smiled.
My eyebrow furrowed with fury as I prepared to blast him with the strongest lightning bolt I could muster...just to condemn him for his arrogance. Yet as I was about to let it loose, I sensed something coming at me...hard and fast. My eyes glanced to the side...just in time to see a huge hammer about to hit me like a ton of bricks. I just barely had enough time to use the energy I gathered as a small shield, before I was sent through the nearby wall, and the wall of the room over.
I lay there in the rubble a moment...just trying to grasp what had just happened. Pushing the scattered debris off me, I used a large stone to lift myself up. I stumbled on my feet, from the pain emanating through my body. I felt my forehead...I was bleeding, which was dripping into my eyes and blurring my vision.
"WHAT THE HELL?!!!!" I shouted to the nothingness around me.
"I'm so sorry brother...I didn't mean to use THAT much force on you. Although, I thought someone like YOU would be able to handle it...how disappointing." The voice of Domix echoed as he slowly bent and walked through the hole I'd just made in the side of the wall.
"Domix...I should've known." I snarled. Why the hell did he have to go and do that?! I mean...right when I was ready to attack...HOW DARE HE!!!
"No time for an explanation...we have to get out of here!" Domix suddenly exclaimed grabbing my shoulders. "Ximh! There's a bomb!"
I felt like falling over in laughter...but before I could even reply with my sarcastic remark, I was shoved through a portal. It led to just outside the bridge, on the edge of the world. Kyxsha was there...WITH HIM! YAMIL!!! I felt my blood come to a boil...but then, I saw the look in their eyes. Suddenly my rage was gone...replaced by a...void.
"Brother! That's..." Domix started, but I muffled him and pulled him behind the nearby plant-life. A huge tree.
I put my finger over my lips, signaling him to be silent...and we watched the whole scene play out in complete and utter silence. I watched him as he pulled Kyxsha up. As he pulled her close to him, and held her in silence. As he no doubt whispered words of love in her ears. And yet I couldn't find the strength to stop it. A feeling deep in my being told me...leave her. Let her go...with him. I don't know why...I just knew...if she had a chance to be happy...to be whole again...then THAT is the path she had to walk. And in that moment I made MY decision. I turned away and stared blindly at the Citadel.
Kyxsha portaled away, most certainly back to the castle...I was just numb. Suddenly a hand was on my shoulder. I turned to look at my brother...he had a sympathetic look on his face.
"Magni...it's best this way." He consoled me. "I know you saw it too. The look in their eye's was..."
"I KNOW!" I shouted suddenly. "You don't have to tell me! I heard the stories enough...not even cupid..." My voice fell silent.
Domix mumbled something under his breath...I couldn't hear what he said...he then spoke up. Plastering a fake smile on his face. "You don't have time for that anyway. It's unbecoming of a Son of Thor...falling in love with one of lower status." My eyes narrowed at his insinuation. Yet he continued. "Besides, speaking of Thor, we've been summoned. I just got the notification today...Thrud awaits us in Olympus."
Ximh
