After the whole ordeal with Rexikat, I returned to the Castle. To Hnoss. She immediately rushed me, wondering how my mission had gone. All I was able to say, was how I wasn't even needed at all.
"Magni...I must confess to something. While you were gone..."
"Report to Where Nothingness Gathers!" A lesser Nobody shouted, intruding.
I took Hnoss's hands into my own. "I'm sorry, I will have to hear this out after the meeting. The Elite's have been called to gather now. Really...I'm very sorry." She smiled and nodded, her face filled with understanding.
Pulling away I formed a portal. I took my seat only moments before Kyxsha entered...a small child beside her. My eyes narrowed as I examined the small girl...she had no business here...barely able to walk...she had no business being forced into war. A child should live as such...these times disgusted me. I could see Kyxsha avoid my gaze outright...this on top of a strange and sudden confession Hnoss had wished to make...I wondered if something had transpired between the two of them.
'There is no place for you at my side Kyxsha...' I recalled myself saying. "Yes...this is the truth I must abide by now...there is no going back...and there shall be no regrets..." I whispered with resolution.
It didn't take long before Kyxsha started arguing with the leader. He continually ordered her silence...and yet she persisted. FOOL! I thought loudly. What are you doing?! WE CAN DO NOTHING AGAINST THE LEADER OUTRIGHT! DO YOU WISH TO DIE?! Suddenly Kyxsha was silent...she didn't move at all...and was getting paler by the moment. I looked to the Leader...he was doing something.
Nyx entered...and everything went dark. I don't know what happened...all I know is as soon as she entered a bright light enveloped the room, blinding me. By the time I had my sight back, Triskix was standing at the bottom of the chairs and all was settled. But Nyx...was lying against the wall nearby. She wasn't moving, so I moved quickly. Portaling beside her I knelt down and lifted her gently...
"Nyx...are you alright? What happened...come on Nyx..." I urged gently. If she didn't respond...I'd get her out of here.
