"Nyx. A favor please." RaXi started to ask me rising to her feet. "I know...I'm sorry for always asking so much of you...but I cannot leave this child alone and unguarded. You must watch over him until my return...if someone should come...anyone...even Lexian or Triskix...spike your power and let me know. I won't let him from my sight just yet...but there is a matter that demands my attention. Do you understand?"
"You can count on me, RaXi! Not even the Leader himself will enter without you knowing." Smiling I nodded to her.
"Now that is what I like to hear!" RaXi said walking over to me. Then just like the old days she put her hand on my shoulder, and smiled widely at me. "Very well then, I will return shortly."
Then after she said that a portal opened behind her and she was gone in an instant. 'Anyone... even Lexian or Triskix,' RaXi had told me. Someone that RaXi didn't want Lexian or Triskix around? Walking around the bed to get a closer look at the person in the bed, I found that it was just a child.
"Anamx" I thought out loud.
The child rolled over on his side and fell back to sleep. 'This must be him. Is that why RaXi doesn't want Triskix and Lexian by the boy, because she is afraid of what they will say or do?'
Walking over to RaXi's window I sat on the ledge of the windowsill and rested my head on the cold glass. I could hear the child's steady breathing from across the room.
Looking out the window I let my mind wonder. 'Triskix... RaXi is right no matter what occurs, this castle and everyone in it, the people we have forgotten, and our teachers. Having everything back would not be the same without Triskix… … without everyone.'
'What will happen when we all receive all of our memories? What will everyone decide on? What... what will I decide on?'
I let that question play around in my mind for a bit, debating on just what to do. Nothing came to mind though, at least not now. So many things are left undone I didn't even want to think of that yet, but I knew in moments like this the question will travel back to me.
Sighing I concentrated on the outside and my eyes drifted to the large moon. A lone cloud obscured part of it yet still I couldn't take my eyes off it. It captured so many of the people I cared for, yet its beauty still intrigued me.
Turning back I smiled as I saw the blanket around the child slowly rise and fall in a steady movement. RaXi… she deeply cares for the child. She doesn’t want anyone to know, but she does care for the kid. If she would risk so much for him without question I will too, but just what would happen?

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?
