"Lady Minx," I started. "I think we should go to Castle Oblivion and talk with Triskix."
The pure shock on Lady Minx's face told it all. I nodded.
"Tamex.....but what about.....what about their Leader. He still thinks I'm part of Zero...he would chain me up and and and....."
The water content in her blood was being replaced by adrenaline. I slowly started moving the adrenaline away, and Minx calmed a bit. I waited till she calmed down completely.
"Lady Minx," I started again. "There are questions I have. About this whole matter with you....your powers..everything...........Lady Minx do you remember anything from your whole years?"
Lady Minx gave me a head shake.
"I remember that my name was Nim and that I had a brother....." she answered.
"Triskix is the brother isn't he?" I asked right off the bat. It made way too much sense.
Minx gave me a shocked look and then nodded slowly. My mind began to start forming all the possibilities.....well the most logical ones.....there were some....yes we all know what I mean.....illogical ones.....*pft*
"And....and we traveled together. That's all I really remember," Lady Minx answered.
"And did Nim have powers?" I asked. I was on a roll.
"I...I don't know...." Minx answered. "I don't remember...."
"And who found you as a a nobody?" I continued.
"Tamex...." Minx answered.
"Please Minx," I said back. I wanted to figure this out. It was like a puzzle. And Mat had been good at puzzles....when he chose to do them.....
"The first other nobody I remember is Xerebus," Minx answered.
"Ah," I answered. "The Leader of Zero."
"Y-a....." Minx answered. "And he treated me normal.....and I loved him for it.....he made me feel special...."
I nodded. I had pryed enough for a while and knew it.
"Lady Minx," I encouraged somewhat quietly. "If we go back to Castle Oblivion, I promise to protect you at all costs. I would even kill their leader to protect you."
"Protect.....me....." Lady Minx said.
"Because that is why I have promised to you," I continued. "Heh...and that is the job of the certified Ladies Man....."
Lady Minx laughed at the last comment, and I smiled.
"Ok....Tamex," Lady Minx answered. "Ok."
I nodded.
We spent an hour packing what we had. Basil was somewhat shocked that we were leaving so soon, but he seemed to understand. Lady Minx and I left Britain and entered Betwix and Between. Suddenly I caught sight of Lady Xakiah......
What was she doing here? I thought to myself. She looked like a woman on a mission to get somewhere and get somewhere fast.
"Lady Xakiah!" I yelled. She turned around extremely red. I fell silent. I wondered if anyone at Oblivion even remembered me o_0;;;;;;;;
"............" Lady Xakiah responded.
"Hahha it's me Tamex hahahah," I answered. "Remember I was the one who suggested the blowing up of Zero's castle!"
"Tamex," Lady Xakiah sighed. "Right."
"Anyways Lady Minx and I need to get into the castle if that's ok," I smiled rubbing the back of my bandanna.
Lady Xakiah shrugged and continued walking. A portal opened and she entered it. I followed with Lady Minx close behind. We were standing in the court yard of Castle Oblivion. Lady Xakiah seemed to go her way, and I took Lady Minx by the hand and went mine.
As we entered the castle, I saw new faces and old. They all seemed to be going somewhere. I walked with the crowd for a second. In that instant, the dark hooded figure of the Leader appeared in front of me.
"The Rogue," he said sharply.
"Is that my new name?" I asked smirking.
"Triskix was supposed to deal with you," he answered. "And......Minx of Zero."
Minx's fingers tightened around my hand.
"He did," I answered smirking a bit. "But I decided to come back from the dead to say hi."
The Leader didn't seem pleased, but he wasn't my leader anymore so what did I care? I laughed a bit. Suddenly it felt like my entire body burned. My knees hit the ground before I could think.
"Tamex!" Lady Minx yelled in shock.
"I do not take Rogues in this castle," the leader said coldly. "Therefore I will exterminate you."
"Stop! Please! Please don't hurt him!" Lady Minx cried.
"And what makes you think that I will spare you?" the leader asked. In and instant, Lady Minx was screaming in pain.
My entire being seemed to be coming apart. I forced water into each of my cells to try to keep them together, but it would only hold for so long.
"ENOUGH!" a voice yelled......
Suddenly several lesser nobodies were helping me up. I looked up and say flame boy Triskix walking quickly up. His eyes were red....solid red. He was followed swiftly by Lady Xemmsur.
"Hey pyro," I smirked. "Been a while since the Ticket."
Triskix gave me a fiery look. It was as if his entire being was a full on flame. The leader looked at Triskix, and he simply looked back. It was silent in the hall......
