Title: Karma
Character: Vixen (Vexen)
On a scientist.
--------------------
his life is an experiment
and so is his death, seeking knowledge
he has died before
in a fashion
So this is death---
the thoughts that flash through the mind of a man, once a king--
Vixen, Vexen
Ansem
a trickster, nine-tailed fox speaking forever in riddles, seeking the answer to the ultimate riddle: the paradox of light and darkness and all the powers that exist (don't exist) in between. The irony of course is that it is Axel that does him in, and perhaps there is something after all to that theory called karma; follows you into death, after death, haunts you in the form of a boy with the eyes of the ocean, tattoos on the heart
his life is an experiment
and so is his death, seeking knowledge
he has died before,
in a fashion
with a castle crumbling all around him, with figures and tables, data and numbers and letters in tiny, exacting print spinning before his mind; the words are still on his lips, the research that has become his essence
"everything is an experiment to you"
the girl says
and the boy sticks a wheeled blade in his back, as he himself had pierced the shell of his world, peeling back the bright layers like petals and fruit-rind to expose the glimmering core
dust to ashes
no-one to nothing
So this is death---

Extra Notes: The kitsune--Japanese fox spirits--were feminine by nature, even the males, and perhaps that would explain Vixen's (Vexen's) unusual name. It really was very blatant that Vixen is/somehow connected to Ansem. Otherwise, it would seem that we have some very poor artists and writers on the KH crew, carbon-copying the personalities and looks of past characters into these new ones.
