As I stood quietly in the room of the Leader...I couldn't help but glare at him. The day was fast approaching...when I would challenge him. Just as soon as I figured out whether it would work or not. When they brought up having a "meeting", at first I'd thought here in the Leader's quarters. But then, a portal was opened before us and Triskix looked over at me after Lexian and the Leader walked through...waiting for me to go in.
"What are you doing RaXi? Hurry up..." He groaned.
I gave him a questionable glare as I stepped through...into a hall of white. "Where Nothingness Gathers..." I stumbled through nearly-breathless words...My eyes wouldn't close...they didn't DARE blink...in case this wasn't real.
I saw them all sitting there...the XIII...they were all looking at me. Smiling as if they were waiting. "Hurry up RaXi! Master Saix is waiting!" I saw the child Nyx pulling ME by the hand...a huge smile plastered to her face as we ran to join the others in the ALL IMPORTANT meeting. If I had the tears...I swear I would've cried...just looking at their faces again...I felt myself smiling...a TRUE smile...gentle and calm...
"...Xi....RaXi!" Lexian grumbled in my ear. "The Leader asked you a question..."
I took a deep breath and finally blinked my eyes. The thrones were all empty...only we four stood in the room.
"That's right...you were...how shall I put it? TIED UP...the last time we held a meeting." The Leader stated sarcastically. My face returned to it's former scowl...directed at the Leader. "I'll say it again. Did you speak with Anamx? Has he returned more of your memories?"
"Yes, I spoke to the boy." I answered. "What memories I have received...that's NONE of your concern...now is it?"
"Take your seats. I've called the other elites to join us." He stated, ignoring me and portaling to his own chair...Xemnas's seat.
"I see...so we are to take our seats by our current number." I said almost disappointed. That meant...I would be taking Lexaeus’s seat. Sarixen’s master. It brought the previous memory back to the forefront of my mind...but I pushed it away and took my seat. I found myself looking at Marluxia’s and Saix’s chairs...but even then...I countered myself...turning my attention to the looks between Lexian and Triskix. I swear...if they don’t get along, I’ll freeze them both from their necks down until they BEG for mercy.
Moments after taking my seat Xemmsur appeared and took hers. She smiled when she saw me, I smiled back but my attention was drawn. Another portal opened up and Nyx appeared. Closely followed by Anamx, Xyta, and Aidex.
“The children will remain at the base of the chairs.” The Leader announced.
Shortly after, we began “the meeting”.
“About these children. We must discuss what to DO with them.” The Leader announced immediately. I had thought this meeting was to discuss Rexikat, Kyxsha and Ximh...not the children. Though...he did probably have SOMETHING he wanted from Anamx.
Quickly I interjected...with the first thought that came to my mind. “I propose we continue the tradition of apprentices. I will take this task upon myself should you all decide NOT to have an apprentice...I ask No One else to abide by it, yet I have made a deal with these girls. I owe them my word and shall fulfill it.”
Before the Leader could speak...Nyx did. “I agree with RaXi. The apprentice system wasn’t without it’s flaws but...she shouldn’t do this alone. I’ll help...after all...Aidex is light. It’s only right that I should...”
“You haven’t even allowed me to speak on the matter Nyx.” The Leader interjected. “You shouldn’t be so quick to assign and implement new systems...” He was saying this mainly to me.
We all sat in silence for a moment. Staring at each other as we waited for the Leader’s response on the matter.
