I waited patiently for this procession of strangeness to end and when it did, I started to speak again. I reached into my pocket at the list of names that was starting to once again burn a hole in my pocket.
"Now then, Zavix, Narexur, and Syrix," I started while looking down at the list. "Welcome to Castle Oblivion." I felt my teeth grit down the words. "As the second in command of this castle, it is my job to keep order in line, so if any of you give me grief I will kill you end of story."
"Pst as if," Narexurk answered.
"So then who is the one completely in command?" Zavix asked.
"He is only known as the Leader and you will call him as such," I answered.
Narexurk rolled his eyes. I could already tell I had somewhat of another Tamex coming. Speaking of which I wondered what he and Minx were doing..... I shoved the thought away instantly and began to focus on the situation again.
"Triskix!" Syrix said quickly. I turned a bit and gave the girl a glare.
"Yes?" I asked calmly.
"Um......never mind....." Syrix said quietly her eyes darting away from my stare.
I answered her with a hump and began speaking again.
"Now then, you may chose any room in the castle that has not been taken save for the cetral tower which is off limits to everyone uninvited by the Leader," I continued. "If you barge in there, it's your own funeral."
"Maybe for the weak," Narexurk answered.
"Are you trying to make him attack you?" Zavix asked.
"He is trying," Lexian answered. "And he is definitely succeeding....."
"Just shut up and follow the rules," I answered Narexurk. Something about this guy was irritating me......"Also there is already an established elite. These people the Leader has deemed worthy of a large amount of control. Their names are Lexian, here, Nyx, there, Xemmsur, next to Nyx, RaXi who is away on a mission, Kyxsha who is in her room, Ximh who is also in his room, Rexikat who is away at the moment, and myself. If you disobey any command they give you at any time, I will personally see to it that you are strung up by your ears and hanged until you fade into nothingness."
A shiver went through all three of them.
"I'm not afraid. And I won't follow these stupid rules," Narexur answered.
"Suicidal," Nyx whispered to Xemmsur.
I didn't wait to respond. I jumped fowards my scythe forming straight in my hand.
"Don't speak that way around me and expect to live," I said coldly. "This order is everything, and I will not have a rogue ruin it."
"Says you Mr. Cocky," Narexur answered.
"This is so unbelievably stupid....." Zavix sighed.
"You got that right," Lexian answered.
Narexur blocked my initial attack with a strange form of a charkin. An image of Axel rushed through my mind, and for a second I stopped. Narexur took my sudden stop to attack with a volt. I twisted my scythe around so the metal chains absorbed the shock. I lit the chains on fire ans slashed fowards.
"Don't underestimate me," I growled.
Narexur had managed to leave himself wide open for my attack and as I slashed down at his shoulder, the Leader laughed hard in my head. You can kill him if you want Triskix.... he smiled.
I ripped my scythe away and backed up.
"Dam...." Narexur swore, "My arm....."
"You won't be able to use it for a month at the least," I glared feeling my eyes glowing red. "I'll let you off easy with your life, but don't you dare think that I will do it again." I changed my composure back to the placid face I had used before while explaining about the castle.
"Anyways," I started again. "If you betray the Organization at any time, I will end you, and if you challenge me, I will end you."
"I'd prefer not to be ended for any reason," Zavix answered.
"Then don't even think that you can leave now," Lexian answered Zavix. "By coming here, you've given yourself two options. Either you stay and join, or you run and die."
"Fne by me," Zavix answered.
"Die...." Syrix said stunned.
"Die," I answered.
"Dang....." Narexurk sighed. "You're pretty strong....."
"I am the second of the castle," I answered.
"Heh....when I get my arm fixed.....let's have another fight some time," Narexurk smirked. "In the mean time....I'll follow your rules....."
"I'll wait for your challenge any time any where," I answered.
"And he'll fry your brians out," Lexian said rolling his eyes.
Nyx and Xemmsur laughed lightly.
"Exactly," I answered. "Now then.....let's get to the castle."
I turned and walked towards the castle. After a moment, the rest followed......
