I left my room going to the kitchen to get bacon for Brazenheart. Bacon was his favorite snack. I left with my hood up, as usual, but I changed my mind and put the hood down, going down the stairs to the second floor. I walked into the kitchen; Luxord and Ariexan were there, sitting at the table, looking a few steps away from making out on the table. I blushed slightly and went into the fridge; grabbing some bacon and walking away.

"Twelve!" I heard Saïx's voice I turned around, Saïx gave me a weird look upon seeing the bacon. I roll my eyes.

"It's for Brazenheart." I told him. He nodded.

"Xemnas wants to see you on the Sky Deck. " He stopped and lowered his voice, "This is your opportunity to pick his brain. Do whatever is necessary to get him to tell you what he is planning." Saïx told me. I nod and go back to my room; quickly giving Brazenheart the bacon, I left my room and went up to Sky Deck. I stopped at the steps, what could he possibly want? I took the first step, walking up to the Sky Deck, I saw Xemnas. I stood there quietly, not wanting to talk out of line.

"I have learned of some of the members are planning against me. I have deemed Saïx to lead after me should they succeed in ridding Organization XIII of me. But I have yet appointed a Second in Command that I think is suitable. I have noticed you make a good leader. I've had the members tell me your actions on missions. Nine told me of your excellent leadership. You actually made him work. I'm not going to appoint you as second in command to Saïx until I am sure that I can trust you." Xemnas told me, not looking at me.

"I suppose you want me to spend more time around here with you?" I told him. Xemnas gave a small amused chuckle.

"Yes, starting tomorrow. You are dismissed." Xemnas told me.

"Yes, sir. I'll report first thing in the morning then?" I asked him.

"Affirmative." He replied. I walk back down the steps and back towards my room. Saïx stood in my way. He opened a Dark Corridor and walked through, basically telling me to follow him with the look in his eyes. I obeyed and we came back out in C.O.

"What did he want?" Saïx asked.

"I'm in, he said he wants me to be your second in command if they rebels succeed in killing him. But he has to know he can trust me. So I'm going to be spending more time with him, in fact, I start tomorrow." I tell him. Saïx smiled satisfactorily.

"The fool. He's falling right into our plan." Saïx said, the happiest I had seen him. "Ariexan will be relieved. Well done Driaxenne." Saïx told me. I nodded.

"Thank you, Saïx." I told him. He nodded and opened a Dark Corridor, one for my room and one to his usual spot in the Grey Area, or the Sky Deck with Xemnas. Entering my room, I saw a rolled up piece of parchment with my name on it, written in golden ink, Zyon. I smiled happily and opened the piece of paper.

Dria,

Joyous news, the Daughter of the Sun has arrived and our key to defeating Ariel is upon us. Ariel's twisted rule as Mother Nature will soon be over! Adrienne will prove to be very useful in this battle! Amber is doing wonderful, she is healthy and so far with Grace here there have been no complications with her pregnancy. It is such a shame Ariel's own daughter turn against her.

Still no news from Danai, it's hard to believe that it has been two thousand years since we last saw our brother. I feel something terrible is about to happen to him, if something hasn't already happened. I feel a connection between him and the Daughter of the Sun, something I don't trust. I hope he doesn't do anything idiotic.

Yet more good news, John and I are now on speaking terms. But there is something incredibly unsettling that has happened. John has betrayed Ariel. She has now lost her last ally. She is getting terribly desperate. Amber's pregnancy is proof of that. Ariel is trying to hurt us.

But I do hope your mission is going wonderful. This is your first mission away from home and I cannot come save you, so be careful. There are characters there that are not all they seem. Be careful. I know you're fully grown and can take care of yourself, but I still worry about you. Write back soon.

Zyon.

I smiled laughing a little, I missed home terribly. I missed Zyon even worse though. Danai had disappeared. Even though we voted to have him back into the Immortals, he still was wounded by the others; he went into an abandoned section of the world that was related to ours, so there was a bridge between them. We can't get there, Danai had done something and not even I can go see him and he told me that he wasn't and isn't, and never would be mad at me. It made me sad.

I picked up my pen and began to write, the iridescent ink glittered on the paper almost hypnotically.

Zy,

That's wonderful! The Daughter of the Son is very strong; she is sure to help us. But you need to make your move as fast as you can. Be her best friend if you care about your wife's life! I'm glad Amber is doing very well, Grace is quite strong and see will make the best Mother Nature our world has seen. It is due to Ariel's own doing that she has lost both her own daughter and a once loving husband. It is quite unfortunate that Danai still isn't speaking with us. It makes me quite upset. You should consult Mother about the feeling of Danai in danger. She would know what to do. My mission is going very well; I have just earned the target's trust. But I feel the worst has yet to come. I don't know what will happen, but I do hope that it will not be too drastic.

I am fine Zyon, I will be fine, I do appreciate your worries, but relax, you have your own things to worry about. Tell Amber I said hello!

Dria

I looked to Brazenheart and rolled up the parchment and tied the paper to his leg and he hopped up on my shoulder. I went over to the window and opened it, I opened a vortex to my home world and let Brazenheart fly out the window. Watching the bird fly away, I gave a sad sigh. I wished I could be home.

A/N: This was short, but I think that's all I can do with this chapter, sorry!
