"Now, let me give you a run-down of the castle. I'm only going to say this once, so pay attention. The castle has thirteen floors. Floor 1 is Xemnas' plotting room. Floor 2 is his bedroom, and 3 is his personal lounge, never go there. Floor 4, is the bedrooms, the only floor you cannot teleport into the rooms of, for obvious reasons. Five is the lounge for everyone else, library, and the laboratory. Six and seven are partly connected, being the large meeting room and entrance to the castle. Eight is the dining room and kitchen. By the way, don't go in the kitchen unless you are absolutely sure you have permission. Nine holds a records room, storage, and such. Ten holds a more, modern lounge. Eleven and twelve are fighting and training arenas. Floor 13 is the basement, and where Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion usually hang out."
"Oh, that's it?" Blaze stated sarcastically.
"Yup. Dinner's at seven. Bye," Xigbar said as he left through a portal.
Blaze surveyed his room again. This time he noticed some shelves, a calendar and a clock mounted on the front wall. He also saw three doors on the back wall. Two led to a bathroom and a closet, but the third was locked.
Blaze stayed in his room until seven then headed to floor eight. He was relieved that it was four floors down, not up. But that luck was short lived. Blaze made a wrong turn and landed himself in the kitchen. A vicious burst of wind pushed him out along with a voice that boomed:
"Get out!"
"I advise you stay out of there," said a voice. Blaze turned to see a man not much older than himself. He had short blue-grey hair and long bangs that covered his face.
"Sorry, I'm a little lost," Blaze replied.
"Happens," he said. "I also suggest you stay away from Xaldin in general. He doesn't likeā¦people. The dining room is the second door, by the way," he said and walked off.
"Thanks," Blaze mumbled.
"Surprising,' said a different voice. This time it was the blue-haired man Blaze had seen on his way into the castle.
"Huh?"
"Zexion usually doesn't talk unless he is asked a direct question. Oh well." He walked off too.
Blaze found the dining room quickly. He was relieved to see that the chairs had numbers on them. He found the number eight chair and sat down. Everyone else was there, except Xemnas. Blaze used this time to study the people already sitting at the table. He figured that the chairs were numbered the same as the doors. In the III chair was a rather large man with deep blue eyes. His hair was black dreadlocks gathered into a high ponytail, and he had thick sideburns. Across from him, in the IV chair, was an older man with long, straight, hair that was a dull blonde and green eyes. At V was another large man, with grey eyes and short brown hair. VI was the man Blaze had met in the hallway, and VII was the blue-haired man.
Xemnas finally walked in.
"You're early," he declared, sat down, and everyone started.
After dinner, Xemnas stopped Blaze in the hallway.
"Be in the records room in one hour," he said.
"Why?"
"Don't question me, Number VIII," he pointed out. "Official Organization records and such. Just be there. Also, I suggest you change."
"Change what?"
"Your clothes. Goodbye."
Short chapter...either that or a really long one...(if combined with the next one.)
And i know i screwed up the floors of the castle...i put thirteen on the bottom! slaps forehead duh...oh well. Xemnas like having one on the top.
