"When was Rexikat last seen?" RaXi asked.
"After the attack on Citadel...I saw her leaving...but she never returned here." Lexian answered. I nodded more to myself than to RaXi.
The look in RaXi's eyes told me that she was scheming again. I closed my eyes and tried to find the Leader's mind, but it was as if the connection wasn't even there. It worried me for a moment, but then RaXi's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Very well. I propose we split into two separate parties to gather information on these developments." RaXi starte."Nyx, you and Xemmsur should investigate Kyxsha's movements. Find out whether she has Truly abandoned the organization...and just WHAT she thinks she's doing. I think you should take Aidex along. She could learn something."
"Huh?!" Xyta spoke up. "What do you mean? Aidex isn't..."
"Oh, don't YOU worry Xyta...you'll be accompanying me on my investigation of Rexikat." RaXi smirked.
"Wait. So Lexian and I will be..." I started. I knew what was coming next.
"Staying at the castle with Anamx." RaXi continued "We can't all be out on assignment...plus...you two have some 'unfinished business'. Have you forgotten?"
"RaXi! I want to go with you or Nyx! I don't want to..." Anamx shouted standing up.
"Anamx!" RaXi scolded "You HAVE to stay in a secure place! This castle is fortified...somewhat. And as long as you are with Triskix and Lexian...I have no reason to fear you'll be abducted. I KNOW they won't hesitate to obliterate any who dare try and reclaim you...right?"
RaXi gave Lexian and I a look, and we looked at each other. Yes there was no doubt Xerebus wanted Anamx back soon....
"Alright then...sorry to spoil your moment in the spotlight Triskix...but I believe this is our best plan of action. Any objections...or anything to add?" RaXi asked.
I smirked.
"You steal my thunder RaXi," I almost laughed. "I find nothing wrong with this. The only thing I have to add is this: none of you are allowed to fail. Don't even concieve it as an option because if you do, I'll personally send you to nowhere and fast."
Lexian found some humor out of it but stifled his laugh.
Everyone nodded and people started to open portals to get ready. I sighed to myelf and gave Lexian a glace. It was then I noticed RaXi was staring at me and hadn't moved from her seat.
"RaXi?" I asked.
"Take care of the Castle," RaXi answered.
"Don't talk to me like that," I answered. "I'm not a kid anymore."
"Still, take care Triskix," RaXi said.
Xyta pulled down an eyelid and stuck her tongue out. I just laughed back.
