Caex
I paced Citadel angrily. That man with the red hair and red eyes had escaped and Tanex had LET him. Air rushed as an undercurrent near my feet as I blew off the streamlines of anger. If Tanex hadn’t LET him leave and if Siluxsce hadn’t hesitated, I would have won. I would have won.
As I walked I found that I was indeed still new to this castle. I didn’t know anyone in here except for the man that had summoned me here, Xerebus. Quite frankly though, I didn’t care whether I knew anyone here or not. To me this was just another job. …another chance to prove my killing efficiency. And yet the first opponent GETS AWAY.
I continued walking down the halls muttering about Tanex’s interference. It wasn’t fair. IT WASN’T FAIR that I was denied. I continued walking and found that all the hallways seemed to be the same. Siluxsce had said she was running to tell Xerebus about the incident and had opened a portal and left. I hadn’t spotted anyone to tell me where anything was, so I continued walking aimlessly.
Suddenly I all but bumped heads with someone, I stepped back and glared.
"Hay, careful. Don't want to be starting a fight for no reason now do we?" a man said staring at me. I shrugged.
“And just who are you anyways?” he started.
“Who are you to ask for my name,” I answered back.
“Pft newbies,” the man answered. “Nearly as bad as women. MOVE IT.”
The man tried to shove past me, but I shoved him back.
“Don’t you dare call me a newbie,” I answered staring to recognize who this was. Xerebus had given me little more than names and descriptions of people before he sent me off, but this man seemed to fight the profile of only one of the profiles I had memorized. “You are the failure Jarix,” I continued.
Jarix backed up a bit and gave me a sharp look. And a hit of….what’s this? Interest? I just smirked back.
“You still don’t know my name,” I taunted.
“I don’t care to know your name,” Jarix answered.
“Coming from a failure I should guess as much,” I answered.
Jarix gave me a bland look. This was staring to become reasonably fun. I just continued talking.
“Let’s see….what did Xerebus tell me about you….oh yes….you have let a certain nobody of Organization Oblivion slip through your fingers more times than I can count,” I continued. “A certain ‘Kyxsha of the Air Lineage.’ Correct?”
“I’m not the only one to make mistakes here” Jarix said harshly.
“And let’s see what else…..oh yes…..you are constantly in the way here says Xerebus….” I continued.
“You know nothing about this castle newbie, so don’t think you know me,” Jarix said more forcefully this time.
“Why? It’s coming knowledge around here….” I continued taunting. “But you block yourself off from common knowledge correct? That’s why you don’t know my name…..”
"Nothing of the sort, my dear Ceax,” Jarix answered.
I smirked.
“So you did know my name….” I continued taunting. “It wasn’t very nice of you to call me a newbie if you knew my name….what else do you know about me prattle?”
Jarix glared and remained silent, so I continued.
“You’re one of the many disgraces to Citadel’s name,” I continued taunting. “A failure to do anything productive. If it’s one thing I hate its idiots, weaklings, and failures. They deserve to be wiped off the map.”
The undercurrent of wind that I had been forming now made a quick uppercut and blasted Jarix back. He looked at me strangely in correspondence with this. I formed my bow and started pulling at the string directed at Jarix’s head. But now Jarix was smiling. And I couldn’t understand why…….
“Wait Jarix started. “How about a deal……”
“A deal?” I asked. “Why would I deal with a failure like you?”
“Because……if you do me a favor……” Jarix started.
“I’m listening,” I started.
“If you eliminate a certain someone……..I will………..”
“Who?” I interjected smiling. “Kyxsha?”
Jarix gave me a pained look. I felt my face light up.
“I will do it without payment,” I started. This was my chance……my chance to kill…..and not to mention….another air wielder……and also…..a chance to humiliate Jarix with the truth that he had been fighting a weakling and losing to a weakling and that he in turn was a weakling……..I smiled happily.
