I walked through the castle considering who to take to find the piston. All the Elite seemed to be away....
"I should leave Nyx and Lexian in charge and take Xemmsur along....let's see who else...."
As I was talking to myself, someone aproached rather quickly. I turned around sharply and saw Lerxia standing in front of me.
"And where are you going Mrs. High and Might?" she asked. I felt my skin crawl from the Mrs comment.
"I'm not a girl," I answered continuing to walk. "I even cut my hair a bit so you would quit calling me that."
She just laughed, and I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Anyways where are you going?" Lerxia asked.
"Bored?" I asked.
"You bet," she answered.
"Then come with me," I answered continuing to walk. "I should also take one of the new people with me...."
"Who's new?" Lerxia asked.
"Zavix and Narexurk are new here," I answered continuing to walk. I came to Zavix's room first and decided I would take him along. I knocked on his door and waited for a moment.
"What," was the response from inside the room.
"Time to earn your keep here," I answered. "Mission time."
"........fine," was the response.
The door unlocked and Zavix came out looking blank-faced. He reminded me so much of Lexian I almost wanted to call him Lexian. I shook my head quickly.
I proceeded on through teh castle with Zavix and Lerxia following. As I reached one of the main hallways, I caught sight of Nyx and Lexian. Lexian gave me a sour look that read 'we need to talk'. I gave him a glaze look back.
"Nyx, Lexian, I'm off on a mission," I said calmly. "You two are in charge while I'm gone.....and Kyxsha and Ximh if they're still in the castle. I'm taking them," I motioned to Lerxia and Zavix, "and Xemmsur."
"Triskix we have to talk," Lexian said aloud.
"Later" I answered. I followed Lexian's gave to the cut on my hand. The scar had clotted but there was blood stained on my hand. I moved it away involuntarily.
"Be careful Triskix...." Nyx started.
"M....Master Triskix?" a voice asked. I turned and say the child Aidex looking at me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Hm?" I asked.
"Be careful ok?" she said.
I sighed and nodded. I turned to leave, but Triskix got me by the wrist for a moment. I turned sharply to him.
"He's torturing you again," Lexian said extremely low. "And I'm not such and failure that I don't notice."
"Later," I answered ripping away. I walked away with Lerxia and Zavix still following. I took the flight of stairs up and knocked on Xemmsur's door.
"Xemmsur," I said sharply. "We have something to retrieve."
Xemmur opened the door somewhat grogily. "Hu...." she started.
"We need to get a piston," I answered. "From the world The Open Road."
"........k," Xemmsur said stretching.
I nodded and opened a portal to the world. As I stepped through, I felt myself change instantly. I became a black motorcycle in mid air and hit the road on two tires. Well.....this is interesting..... I thought to myself.
