I entered the leaders quarters yet there was no one there,
"SIT!" i said forceably shoving Jarix into a chair.
"ooof," he gradually tried to sit up with his hands tied behind his backand bruises covering every inch of his body,
"you are TRUALLY something." shaking his head he looked up at me with my arms crossed leaning against the wall.
"How so?" i asked dully, i wasn't interested in anything he said. But it was better then him trying to form SOME plan.
"I would have thought of you as the type to fight, no matter the costs. A fight to the death, even if your opponent was half way there."
"I was....." my mind wondered, i HAD changed... i didn't fight a person if they were injured or weaker then me.... I wasn't like that anymore.... had i really changed for....
"You were, but now your just pathetic."
"Pathetic you say.... So you wished to die at my hands?"
"Hmp, never." He sat there a smirk spreading across his face. He closed his eyes and water bubbles formed around him. they grew larger and larger until they were roughly the same size as me, i kicked one a hole appered in it which was qucikly regenerated.
I kicked and punched and the growing blobs but my attacks had no affect, They gradually truned and changed. Dopelgangers of Jarix. My weapon appered in my hand and i sent a blast towards the group. Chairs and a desk went flying. They went THROUGH the dopegangers, by now they all looked the same. My focus had changed from Jarix to his dopegangers and by the time i realised his tatic it was too late. He had freed himself from his cuffs.
"Too silly my dear. Now it's time to do things right." All his doplegangers said in unision, They all crouched and faced me; ready to attack.
"Jarix you are in MY territory. DO remember that."
"I do my sweety, darling buttercup. That is why i say bye for now. I assure you we shall met again, but next time it'll be YOU chained and broken, not I."
With that his doplegangers dropped into puddles and flooded the floor, i cursed profoundly as the Leader walked in.
"You said you had my first victim."
"I underestimated him... it will NOT happen again." i growled cursing my own stupidity. The Leader walked within a step of me. He grabbed me roughly by the cheecks and made me look up at him; into the black abyss that was were his eyes should be.
"I am NOT to be fooled with."
"I DID NOTHING OF THE SORT, THAT B*****D SLIPPED...." *SLAP* my cheeck stung from the backhand the leader gave me.
"I told you my word was LAW!" he towered over me as my hand covered my cheeck. i growled low in my throat but remained silent to my minds increasing need to disobey.
"I understand, sorry Master."
"hmmm, Master. I like it." He stalked the room for a little longer before his focus came onto me again.
"You may leave."
I left silently, i exited the room and let out a breath. Taking in a gulp of freash air i created a porthole to my room, where i heard the echo of a knock opening the door i saw Ximh, with Hnoss standing next to him and LUCINDE. At first i was exstatic about seeing Ximh, but my mind reminded me of his words. I WAS glad that i was a nobody without a heart, or i'm sure he would have destroyed it with those words....
I saw his eyes glow as they always did for a second before he looked away, i only wish that he would look me in the eyes, see the sorry i held in them. If he thought i would do ANYTHING to harm his brother.... he had TRUALLY misunderstood me.
"Kyxsha, I suggest next time you decide to leave, you place little Lucinde here in the care of someone more SUITABLE." Hnoss to me with a visous tone to the end of her sentence.
I was silent as Lucinde rushed towards me and hugged my legs. I bent down to her level and hugged her back the slap from the leader still stinging. As i was about to talk to Ximh i saw the door way empty and heard the closing of his bedroom door. Did he really think that way? That a human and god could not be together... That there would be NOTHING between us...
He has been a nobody too long. He heart has TRUALLY escaped from him, but then again believeing in love stories is for the innocent of heart... it is not for nobodies like me....
"it's about time you went to bed little missy."
"AHHH but Hna let me stay up, she sang me and song and read me a story."
"I'll read you a story.. but you have to go to bed once i'm finished."
"YAY," she clapped her hands in excitment, "Hna told me this REALLY nice one, you read it to me," with that she ran out of my room to XImh's... where Ximh AND his WIFE had gone!!
"NO LUcinde!!!" i rushed after her, into the room of Ximh i found it bare, not a fleck of dust and thank-fully no Ximh and Hnoss. As Lucnde hurried around the room i saw a note flutter on the desk. I quickly read it and found that XImh had rushed off to Olympus.... what was it now?? Children??
I took the note with me and hurried Lucinde out of the room.As i was about to pocket it Lucinde caught me.
"kiki, what happened to your hand?" i looked at my hand which i had shoved into the mouth of my snapping turtle fern....
"ahhhh, i did something silly and got hurt"
"Did you do something for love?"
"Love? what do you mean?"
"My daddy says that he always gets hurteded when he finks of mummy. Cause he loves her. and that the only reason he gets hurts"
I smiled at her simple view of life. But love for a Nobody was impossible, just try telling some of the Nobodies here otherwise!
