It was so comforting. I couldn't tell what happened to me...all I knew is I felt so safe...so protected. And then, my wounds stopped throbbing...all the pain was gone. Slowly, I started to open my eyes. Hazily, I could make out Triskix right next to me...his back against one of the nearby chairs. His eyes were slowly closing as mine opened.
"Triskix?" I mumbled as I slowly figured out what was going on. My pain disappearing...it was thanks to him. He had used the blue flame on me...that was the only explanation as to his sudden exhaustion. "...." He was asleep. "....thank you...."
I stood up. All eyes seemed to be on me...making me slightly irritated. Nyx was escorted to her seat by Ximh, Lexian was looking down extremely worried on the well-being of Triskix. Looking straight in his eyes, I assured him with my gaze that everything was fine. I somewhat urged him to say something...unsure myself of what to be done.
"Leader, why have you called us all together?" Lexian spoke loudly, getting my drift.
His glare left me, turning to address Lexian's question. "Once all are in their seats, we will discuss that." And then, his gaze fell once more upon me.
"And Triskix?" I queried.
"Leave him be..."
"Very well then." I returned to my seat, feeling better than ever, only thanks to Triskix. Xemmsur had run over to Ximh and helped him with Nyx, who wasn't looking too well...I was worried about her. What had she done to incite such a power? I watched as Rexikat seemed to be taking everything in...I couldn't help but recall Pashnirix...I was sure Rexikat was worried about him...in fact, even my curiosity was peaked. Just what HAD happened with the Dragon?
"Firstly, we shall address the child." The Leader began. "She is..."
"WE have to..." Kyxsha began with a tinge of stubbornness in her tone.
I immediately felt the air become tense. "Kyxsha!" I cut her off. "Let him continue..."
Kyxsha glared at me defiantly...but I swear...my actions were only to protect her. After the incident that had just occurred...I could only guess he was thoroughly at his wits end with her.
"Leader." I interjected. "The child is a Nobody, she is indeed extremely young, therefore, she will be useless to us in many matters. While this is true, I think it would be foolish to simply abandon her...consequently I propose a vote of the elite. What say you?"
I could tell he was already irritated on the subject matter, but wasn't totally against my plan. Yet, deep down I know he hated turning to the Elite for anything. He was the type of man who craved total tyranny. I took a deep breath, just trying to regain my senses...and trying to keep some sort of order after such a tense opener.
