Chapter 10 Secrets in the Alleys

(Wolfheart POV)

I was heading to the Room with the Really Big Book Thingy while Demyx began pestering me why he couldn't go to the Party Supply Room for Boredless Partying Reasons. Honestly, he needs something to do.

"Aren't you suppose to be taking care of Chester?" I asked.

"I forgot to feed him," Demyx said leaving to his Proof.

I entered there and when I went in, all it seemed like was a normal everyday village, until I saw the looming castle above. First few things I had in mind was to first find the seven members, find out where we were, and how we were to get through this mess.

Finding them was easy if the outfit I was wearing wasn't so long, it was simple, yes a simple sea-green satin dress, but the length of the skirt caused it to get caught so easily. Ilyxl, Saxnyd, Rauxa, Navaxlon and Laxes were wearing the same kind of dress as me, except different color, material and style. Lachonixs was wearing clothing for nobility. Soon we found a tailor who fixed my dress as well as the girls' dresses.

"You should better hide when you can, the lord at the castle doesn't take kindly to strangers," the tailor said, "They say that he could manipulate shadows at his will. Here it may be nothing but a Shadow Cloak would help whenever anyone who would manipulate shadows is facing you."

She handed us each a dark colored cloak and we left the tailor. Soon we decided to head towards the castle finding the gates locked, with the lock the exact same shape as my sword. I summoned my sword and fitted it into the lock we went through and summoned it back into my hand, letting the gates close behind. I couldn't tell where we were. Continuing on I signaled them all to put on the cloaks, however, I chose to not wear one of them. I wanted to keep myself proven true.

We made our way through the castle finding our way towards the ballroom where Rixvles was there, sitting on the throne.

"I'm surprised that they had made it this far," Rixvles said, "but letting the worthy ones go free means that little by little, one by one you most depended ones cannot help you leaving you to defend for the weaker ones."

"That's not true," I said, "their strengths can overcome their weaknesses. They are strong for who they are."

Everyone summoned their weapons and we battled him, only to have him disappear. I left the book again finding everyone by my side, except for one Nobody, Saxnyd.

How could that be? Everyone did their part in that battle yet though Saxnyd still lingered in the book. I was urged to go back inside but Saix and Axel held me back.

"You need your rest as much as she does," Saix said, "Go back tomorrow."

I had to agree to that and went to my room and went to bed. I just had to get her out, she may seem defenseless but truthfully not everyone can get through her sandstorm barrier, I'm going to get her out tomorrow.

(Saxnyd POV)

"Saxnyd, how are you?" Rixvles asked looking at the wounds I've been hiding.

"I don't know," I said, "I want to go back, but what would happen then?"

"Look my powers can go beyond this book, I'll create a room for you so then your wounds will heal," Rixvles said.

"Why are you doing this for me?" I asked.

"Because," he said, showing me to a room, "I love you."
