I noticed Triskix shift into severe pain as they started mumbling...something about Xraktos...my eyes narrowed and I tried to hear. I KNEW Tanex knew something...no...more than "something"....EVERYTHING. When I saw just HOW severe Tris's pain became though I moved forward instinctively...I didn't know just WHAT I was doing...I just couldn't STAND there...I wanted to do SOMETHING to help him....anything....
Tanex had apparently blocked Xraktos out...with the power of void. I was completely in awe at just how much control he'd managed to gain over his element. I was both surprised...and happy. All this time...I had told him to get serious...I had seen the potential in him. And as much as it was overwhelming and frightening...it was amazing and beautiful as well.
Soon after, he left...leaving Triskix and myself alone...and in complete and utter silence. I stood awkwardly there...unsure of just what to "say" or "do". I had never been this blocked before...I just...didn't have any proper answers for the questions I knew Triskix had...but I couldn't leave it quiet like this...I had to say something...anything...
"So, uh..." I began. "....Uh....it's incredible huh? Who knew...crazy Tanex had it in him to create Oblivion...almost exactly like the Original..."
Triskix didn't move. And then...he spoke...very quietly. "Tanex...he says HE knows how to bring the XIII back...but if that's true...then just what am I-" He stopped his sentence there.
"I'm sure you did what you thought was right." I tried to console him. "At the time." This part was much more forceful...I had a point to be made here.
"What are you getting at RaXi?"
"Triskix." I paused. "Back then...you were alone...fighting a battle MUCH BIGGER than yourself. But now, you aren't alone. WE are with you now...you don't need him. You don't need Xraktos anymore!"
"I made a PACT RaXi!" He argued.
"I don't CARE! It's NONE OF HIS BUSINESS!" I fought back. "So what...you made a Pact...Break it! You shouldn't have to SUFFER like this Triskix! I CAN'T STAND WATCHING YOU GO THROUGH HELL!!" I froze at my own words and slowly backed up...it was suddenly quiet...I felt the urge to run...but my feet were heavy...so very heavy...
Triskix was just staring at me...staring straight through ME now.
Why couldn't I move...why couldn't I just run away...? Instead I just stood there dumbly...unable to move...much less speak.
