I sat in the plane between sleep and awake. I was at a point wehre I could sleep if I wanted, but I refused. Suddenly II felt my arm being lifted a bit and a starnge surge of ice went through me but didn't freeze. It was just a rush of energy.
Instead of forcing me straight off the bed, the energy allowed me to get up slowly. I remained still in the peace. I could feel the Leader's presnece walking through the room towards Lexian, towards me, and back to the window where it would stay for a while before the cycle began again.
I didn't want to move....I didn't want to get up.....I just wanted to be at peace at the moment.
All I can tell you
Is who I'm not
When all I want to tell you
Is who I am

As she tried to summon her mirrors, Minx found it utterly impossible. I used too much power on the defense….and now I can’t even make a mirror….what am I going to do……
Minx stayed quiet waiting for who was to return....she had a pretty good idea that it was Aidex and Xyta. They probably wanted revenge. Minx closed her eyes and witha last ditch strength summoned a mirror infront of her.
"What is that little one?" the owl asked.
"I.....have to see what has happened to my home....." Minx answered. "They took me away....and my home might be gone...."
As Minx looked into the mirror only reflections of her own fears reflected back. Minx sighed and released the hold on the mirror. It shattered and was absorbed into the ground like water.
"Who are you child?" the owl asked.
"A nobody," Minx answered.
"I asked whooo not what," the owl corrected.
"Minx," Minx answered.
Suddenly Minx sensed someone approaching. She backed away and was ready to climb the tree when two fawns appeared. Each had a distinct trait of Aidex and Xyta.
"Ai-chan....Xy-chan...." Minx said quietly.
"Yes it's us you liitle wretch," Xyta answered glaring at Minx.
"Stop Xyta," Aidex cut in. "We don't have to fight."
"Why did you take me from Xerebus-sama! WHY!" Minx shouted backing up the tree.
"Children?" the owl asked. "Is something wrong?"
Aidex looked up to the owl calmly.
"We're just a bit at ends with Minx," she answered. "She robbed us of a few things....our bodies for one...."
The owl looked confused but did not assist the rabbit as she climbed up the tree to evade the glares of one of the fawns.
"You robbed me!" Minx yelled. "You robbed me of Xerebus-sama!"
"You robbed us of our lives Minx," Xyta said sharply. "We were going to go away. We weren't going to harm Zero, and yet as Xerebus gave that dam order your chidishness made us dolls!"
"Enough Xyta," Aidex said now glaring at Xyta. Seeing her friend glaring, Xyta slowly relaxed. "Minx, Xerebus had you do that to us. I hold no grude against you, but we will not br returning to Zero. And neither will you."
"Xerebus-sama! Xerebus-sama!" Minx shouted shocking a few birds and causing them to fly skywards. Suddenly the sound of a gun shot went off.
"Xerebus won't come," Xyta answered. "This world is too far for him to sense, and because of your little stunt with the defense at the castle, you can't even defend yourself."
"Xerebus-sama will come!" Minx shouted back. "He's always helped me! Unlike anyone else! He will come for me!"
Suddenly a memory of Nim entered Minx's mind.
"I'll wait here brother....find Triskix and then come back for me....." Nim's voice said softly.
"I don't want to leave you Nim....." Kristian answered.
"It's ok....do what you have to do," Nim smiled. "I'll wait for an eternity for you to come....."
As the memory died away Minx was left in shocked tears.
"He's not coming.....just like Kristian......Xerebus will never come for me......" Minx said quietly. "I'm......so alone........"
"Yes we're all alone in the world," Xyta said harshly. "Nobodies cannot depend on each other. We may only be friends, but we may never trust. It is a curse....."
"Xyta," Aidex said quietly.
"I....I.....why......" Minx said from atop the lowest branch of the tree.
"Minx, to put your trust in Xerebus is foolish. He'll just abandon you in the end," Xyta said sharply. "It's time to stop acting childish."
"Abandon......" Minx said quietly.
Suddenly a rustling in the brush caused Aidex and Xyta to look up. The Prince of the Forest was comming.He looked to the two fawns and then to the rabbit and owl in the tree.
"Owl what is this?" the Prince asked.
"Prince these fawns...." the owl started. "And this rabbit.....are nobodies.....and by the sounds of it they're alone in the world...."
The Prince looked straight at Aidex ahd Xyta who bowed respectfully.
"Nobodies in the Thicket?" The Prince asked.
"We were seeking refuge," Aidex saaid quietly. "Please allow us to stay...."
"I see," The Prince said quietly. "I will grant that you may stay here for as long as you do not endanger the forest or until you wish to leave. What are your powers?"
"I am Aidex of the Light lineage," Aidex said carefully.
"And I am Xyta of of Ice," Xyta continued.
"Yes you may stay here," The Prince reassured. "What about the rabbit?"
Minx looked down but didn't say anything.
"Her name is Minx and she weilds Mirrors, but at this time she is too weak to summon them....." Xyta said. "She's pretty harmless now....."
"She is in your company?" The Prince asked.
"More or less," Xyta started.
Aidex gave Xyta a quick look.
"She is," Aidex reassured.
"You are all free to roam the forest, but beware....man is hunting at the moment...." The Prince said cautiously.
"We understand," Aidex nodded.
The Prince left leaving the two tired fawns, the terrified rabbit, and the owl.
"Alone," Minx said quietly into the brush of the Thicket.
In the End
Everyone Ends up
Alone
