I was in my seat before I even realized anything was happening. Nyx had hesitated...I didn't realize just why...until it was too late. All I had been thinking was how I'd needed to sit down. My vision was slightly blurred...I know this was a bad sign and I'd lost a lot of blood...but I didn't have time to be injured. I could feel myself sweating slightly, the beads turning to pebbles of ice and falling from my skin. I leaned in my chair, putting my hand to my head...this wasn't good.

Looking up, I suddenly noticed it when the small child cried out. "KIKI!!" She screamed. Looking at Kyxsha, I tried to focus my vision. She looked like...like she was caught in the Leader's power! It had seemed Nyx had noticed from the moment we'd entered...how careless of me.

Before I could do anything, Nyx used some strange form of her power. It engulfed us all in her light, and I could hear her fly back from the force of her own explosion. I worried for her...but couldn't see anything...nothing at all. I felt a portal open, Triskix and Xemmsur entered. It was quiet...eerily so...and then I heard Triskix....

"Fighting in Nothingness..." By his tone...I could almost see the smirk on his face. I felt a sense of relief wash over me...maybe it was because I could feel myself slowly slipping away. Knowing he was there to keep the peace...was very reassuring.

Slowly my vision returned...I immediately looked to Nyx. She was on the floor, Ximh already at her side. I jumped straight up in my seat as well when I saw her condition. "Nyx!...." I couldn't open a portal because the moment I'd launched up...I felt myself get very dizzy. Everything was spinning and I lost control of my body. Slowly I leaned over and fell...cascading to the ground in what felt like a ceaseless freefall....
