Lost in my own thoughts I didn't even realize that there was others inside the castle, until I felt a familiar prick of someone trying to find me. The feeling spread from my head and it traveled down my spine, hitting every little nerve to ping-point my location.
Jumping up from the windowsill that I was currently sitting on, and stood protectively in front of Anamx. Drawing out the light that came from the window, I made a ball of light energy and threw it just as a portal opened a few feet in front of the bed. I waited for a retaliation, as I readied the next ball of energy but none occured.
A small scream was heard from the opened portal, as a young girl stepped threw. Behind her another girl shyly stepped threw almost hiding behind the first one.
"Master RaXi sent us!" The second girl yelled out from behind the first.
She was the one that I felt before, the one that I felt casting out her own light to find me. I wonder if the girl knew of the small figments of light that was cast around herself and her friend. Rarely visible to the naked eye, but to someone that is used to seeing and playing around with nanometer's of light waves the small shield is clearly visible.
Getting a closer look at the two of them I saw that they were just children. Well not children per say, just like Anamx was not a child. Truly they were teens, but to me they were still children.
'Children? Why are children here at Castle Oblivion? I know not to judge a person's strength by who or how old they are. A child's will can be stronger than a adults... but still. I don't think they wish to attack us, maybe Anamx personally, but why then did RaXi send them? Unless it is just mere lies.'
I didn't want to fight them but if I find that they have misused my trust I will have to. Lowering my arm and drawing the light back up into me I lowered my voice and took a few steps closer, hoping that Anamx would not wake as I asked them a few questions.
"Who are you," I asked them quietly.
"I'm Aidex...." The second girl stated quietly, the one that uses light.
"And I'm Xyta," She stated almost proudly. "RaXi sent us to find you, but she didn't state why. Are you Nyx?"
A calming feeling went over me and I sighed, relaxing a bit until the girl, Aidex, bent over slightly and cried out in pain. A tingling feeling travel over my spine, as goosebumps appeared. Immediately Xyta turned to focus on her asking if she was okay.
"I...I am..." She said taking in a deep breath. "I'll be ok...."
Taking a side ways glance at Anamx behind me to check that he is still asleep; I walked closer to the girls and saw Xyta glare at me as I came closer smiling to them. Seeing a chair behind them I quietly suggested for Aidex to sit down.
"Now to answer your question from before. Yes, I am Nyx, but were is RaXi why didn't she come with you two? Is everyone alright or did something happen?"
------
Can you lose everything, you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?
