Here I Stand

I was left watching the Leader's vanished place. It made me feel cold. I took a breath in and felt another enter the castle. He really did send a lot of fliers out didn't he? I sighed.

Suddenly the Leader jumped in my head. I've dealt with the new person he said calmly. What are you still doing? Get everyone into the main hall and explain the attack.

I took a breath in and summoned a few lesser nobodies.

"Bring me ever member of Oblivion," I said somewhat tiredly.

They nodded and vanished.

"Triskix are we seriously going to attack them? The apprentices?" Lexian asked.

I closed my eyes.

"Yes," I answered. "They are part of Zero."

Suddenly I felt a chill run down my spine, and RaXi seemed to appear out of thin air. She was headed straight for the front door. In another second Nyx appeared with a worried face.

"RaXi where are you going?" she asked. "RaXi!"

RaXi didn't answer but continued walking.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Triskix I refuse it," RaXi answered continuing to walk.

"What?" I asked.

"I am done with this. I am done serving that 'Leader' as you call him," she answered. "I refuse it. I'm leaving."

"RaXi stop!" Nyx pleaded. "You'll be labled a traitor! RaXi!"

"What about the children," I said under my breath.

RaXi seemed to freeze in her tracks.

"Xyta would lose an ice master," Lexian answered catching my drift. "And she would be subjugated to the wrath of the Leader."

I waited quietly for RaXi's answer.


Leader

I was tired beyond belief. I had overextended myself yet again. First with ripping apart RaXi and then with dealing with the newlings in the castle. Wasn't that Triskix's job? Didn't I hire him to keep control of this mess?

I sat back in a chair and closed my eyes. Not like I can see anyways haha I joked to myself. Don't worry Martel....Don't worry. I'm coming for you. And I will kill Xerebus. I will kill him for what has happened to you. My Martel......and then I will be able to see your face again......

I breathed in and suddenly felt RaXi's angry presence. I twitched for a second and then ripped into Triskix's mind to see this. She is alive....and her mind's in tact... I felt a curious rage go through me. Now how did she manage that?

I slowly began to think of exactly what I had ripped apart. I had managed to keep them.....I slowly looked over them. Each thought seemed to have a haze to it.....and then in a split second it shattered like ice.

"So that is your trick," I smirked to myself. "Marluxia's favorite."

I would not make the same mistake again. Never again. I would......never make a mistake again. Martel's face flashed through my mind. Martel.....my Martel. Not Xerebus's...no My Martel. I will never make a mistake again. I will never. Never. Make a mistake again.

'Don't make any more pacts! Please Kratos! Please!' Martel's voice begged.

I am sorry Martel...... I thought to myself. But I am Kratos. I am the pactmaker. And I will forge more pacts again. I will pact with the strong. I will use their power. I will kill the gods and break the humans. I will become a demon and ravage all the worlds that tried to keep us separated. I will take revenge Martel. Rest assured. When I revive you.....I will take revenge.

I closed my eyes and smirked. Then I laughed. I laughed hard. Harder than I had ever laughed before. This was going to be fun.

Here I stand
Helpless and Left for Dead
