Leader
Triskix was out cold. End of story. I perceived it when I entered his mind previously. He had pushed himself using that technique to a brink that even I felt it. I sighed for a moment.
RaXi stood. I could hear it.
"Leader, why have you called us all together?" Lexian asked.
"Once all are in their seats, we will discuss that." I answered coldly.
"And Triskix?" RaXi asked.
A sudden image somewhat of a dream perhaps....entered my mind.
"Leave him be..." I answered. What are you dreaming boy?
"Very well then." RaXi answered.
"Firstly, we shall address the child." I started. I would not let another child in this castle. "She is..."
"WE have to..." Kyxsha quickly. I felt a bit of anger flux inside me but it died down.
"Kyxsha!" RaXi. "Let him continue..."
"Leader." RaXi interrupted. "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 remained silent for a moment. I had done wrong to create this force that believed that they could override me. It was a mistake that I could not take back, but sooner or later I would destroy it.
"There will be no need for that," I answered. "I will let the child stay under two conditions."
The room remained silent. I could hear everyone's thoughts. It was somewhat annoying hearing everyone saying the same thing.....well all those that were conscious.
"And they are?" Kyxsha asked darkly.
"One, that child will not leave this castle at any time until she is 13 at the least. I refuse to have her captured by Zero and giving out information. Second I require a pa-...." I stopped.
"Martel....I have to tell you.....I...."
"Kratos.....stop."
"Martel please listen.....I know I can....."
"Kratos just stop."
"If I can become as strong as....."
"Kratos! Stop! No. I like you as you are...."
"Martel listen...."
"I don't want you to change!"
"I won't change...."
"You already have....ever since you started it.....you've changed...."
"Martel I need to...."
"No! No you don't! Please Kratos! Please don't make any more.....Please go back to normal! Please!"
"Martel....."
"Please....please please.......you only need one.....you only need one to live...."
"I............understand..........Martel........I understand."
"Yes?" RaXi asked sharply. I realized I had remained quiet through it all.
"Secondly," I continued. "Her room will be one over from Kyxsha's. It seems the child has found somewhat of a new mother. If she needs anything, she will be under Kyxsha's care."
I took a breath wondering what had come over me. I hadn't thought about HER....in so long......
Triskix's dreams were starting to make their way into my mind. They were strips of though...fragments of whatever....I waited in the silence for a moment.
"Now then," I answered the silence. "Another matter has come to attention. And instead of telling you, I will show you." I snapped all my fingers and the floor began to creak open. Out of it came my work. Out of it came what I had been making all this time. Out of it came my project.
"Wha- what is that thing?" I heard Lexian ask.
"You might recognize a bit of this work from ten years ago give or take a few years," I started smirking. "I found it....well what was left of it....."
"The...." Xemmsur started.
"Yes," I smirked back. "Ansem's machine......but I have....done a bit of work on it heh."
"Work....." RaXi repeated.
"Yes I've rearaged it a bit. It is.....A Cypher," I answered. "A machie that will generate a portal to 'Where Nothing Fades.' But it is not done."
"So then why are you showing it?" Ximh snapped.
"Because. I have done all the work that I can on it," I answered. "What I need....is nobody energy."
"What!" they all yelled. My ears rang for a split second.
"Yes I need nobody energy," I answered back. "I need lesser nobodies to be exact. The last batch you gave me is out. I need more of them."
There was silence in the room. I waited quietly. Triskix's dreams moved off into his past....when he was Kristian. I wateched them a bit while waiting for the Elite to respond.
