I watched as the war went back and forth about what would happen with Aidex and Xyta, and I refused to let such talent be wasted because of a single man. Both girls had gone threw so much they deserve to be trained and be called masters themselves later on in their lives.
I was kind scared to be the one to train another, in charge of another’s life. What if I’m not strong enough to make Aidex test her limits, and then when she has to fight… she is not strong enough to win. It would be my entire fault.
‘I wonder if Saix went threw the same thing? Probably not, at least with me, but maybe RaXi.’
"Because they are children nobodies, it means that they will grow until...." Triskix started. "And therefore, they must be trained or their wills will grow unruly," Triskix continued. "So I believe implementing this apprentice system will have the most positive outcome. RaXi will train Xyta, and Aidex will be trained by Nyx."
"Fine....I will adhere to this, but both Aidex and Xyta must make a pact with me," the Leader said sharply.
"What!" RaXi yelled.
"No," Triskix roared back.
‘Leave them alone,’ I wanted to yell out but I cut myself short, I knew we would get nowhere with that. We would have to play his game to get the girls out of this. Looking back down to the children I saw that even though Xyta was unconscious I could feel the hatred radiating off her, and I could see the anger rise in Aidex’s eyes.
‘That intolerable man. Doesn’t he remember childhood, to have fun, to be cared about? How could he even think about doing that to a child! Doing it to Triskix is bad enough! Does he wish to create mindless, impassionate, robots?’
"I refuse it!" Aidex yelled up.
"I refuse to be chained to anyone that would harm Xyta like this! "We will leave, but we will not be abused like this! We did not just escape from Minx to end up slaves to you!"
The leader glared down at Aidex and I saw once more the light fragments embrace her and Xyta. She was such a strong willed girl she reminded me of a mix of RaXi and Xemmsur. Smiling down at her I didn’t see the leader move until it was too late. In a flash he was down and walking closer to the girls. Triskix was between them in an instant.
“NO! Stop This All Now!!!” Screaming out I jumped out of my seat landing behind the leader.
“Why Must You Persist to Contradict All that We Hope to Accomplish? Yes, we are Nobodies that can not be changed, but it is the life we make of it that can change Everything! Life is about sharing the time you have with the once you care about, and helping others! For later they will help you. This Does Not have to be a mindless battle of dominants!!! Haven’t you care for anything? They are children, and I refuse for them or anyone else to be mistreated! I can’t live my life like that, I rather die! So how can you?”
