I took Minx by the hand as we walked through Britain. It had both changed and stayed the same at the same time. I wanted to run straight towards the academy to see if there was anything even remotely left, but at the same time, I wanted to act relaxed.
"Wow all the buildings are huge!" Minx said running fowards down the street. "It's like everything went up instead of out."
"Yes Lady Minx," I answered. "Britain is know for it's architecture. It is quite a spectacle. Over there is the Queen's castle, and over that way is the giant bell tower where Basil the Great solved one of the most intriguing mysterious of our time.
Minx gave me a strange look.
"Did you live here Tamex?" she asked.
"Whatever can you mean m'lady?" I asked laughing and rubbing the back of my bandanna.
"You know it so well," Minx answered. "When I....when Nim traveled with Kristian, we only knew restricted things about the areas we went. I just have a felling."
"Hahahah very perceptive," I answered. "Well I won't lie m'lady. My former self used to live here."
"Your other?" Minx asked.
"Yep. He went to an academy too," I said before thinking.
I caught Minx's look and tried to laugh it off.
"Well......he more or less went," I rephrased. "He had a habbit of sleeping in class hahahahha."
"So where did you live?" Minx asked.
"At the academy," I answered.
"And where is that?" Minx asked.
"Well...." I started. "On the outskirts of the city...."
"Don't you want to at least say hi?"
"Why?" I asked.
"You have to have friends or something," Minx persisted.
I knew that I couldn't fight with a lady, so finally I swalloed it.
"Ok we'll go...." I said feling a pang where my heart should have been.
I turned and walked down the street to the edge of London. As we walked further and further out, I began to recognize from Mat's memories certain places. Several contradicting feelings flooded.
As we walked, Minx remained quiet.
"What's wrong m'lady?" I asked.
"Nothing," Minx answered. "I...Well.....someone is headed that way as well....I know it's him from the way...well....he used to be my....well Xerebus gave him to me...and...I can feel him....."
"Who?" I asked.
"Verex...." Minx answered.
"What!" I nearly yelled.
Minx backed up in suprise.
"What's wrong Tamex?" Minx asked.
"Verex....you said Verex," I repeated. "Where is he Minx? Where is he?"
Startled at my reaction, Minx pointed in a general direction to where the academy once was. I grasped Minx by the arm and began to run.
