Somehow in the middle of the silence, I had fallen asleep in my room. However, I was awoken from my cat nap by a loud and obnoxious knocking on my door. At least whomever it was had the decency to knock first.
"Yes?" I asked, after being startled, sitting up quickly and gripping my sheets to my chest.
"It is I, Zexion. [Leader] Xemnas would like to speak with you on a rather important matter. Quickly get uniformed and hurry, you are aware he doesn't like to be kept waiting." I got up and answered the door, stretching my arms and taking my sweet ass time.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"The Round Room, Rixika." I slid on my Organization coat and made my way there at once.
While on my way to meet up with our superior like instructed, I passed the corner in too much of a rush and ran right into Saix. The force in which she was running caused her back to land on the ground, with a thud that knocked the wind out of her lungs.
He stared down at her with a expression of disapproval, unamused at her behaviour in the Castle. You might even say he looked at her as if she was lower than him.
Looking up of Saix, he seemed to have an air of nobility about him. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by aristocratic sneer.
"You shouldn't be running in the halls like an uncivilized child. You were given an order to report to the Round Room, I've heard. I suspect Xemnas would not appreciate your tardiness."
"I-I apologize, sir! I am on my way there now. I'm sorry, as a result of not being able see you as I turned the corner. I didn't want to be late again, as on my previous mission..." I chuckled weakly, trying to brush off the awkwardness.
Saix sighed in annoyance, followed by a silence that seemed to shake the room, shouting at Rixika to just slip away. As she was about to move, the urge stopped when Saix spoke and startled her. "Fine. I'll let you off easy this time, I suppose, but don't let it happen again."
I nodded in embarrassment from getting a lecture from a higher-up, and proceeded my way to the Round Room.
Like said, Xemnas had been waiting there with his back turned to the door. Somehow, without knowing my presence, he had spoken, sensing I had arrived.
As I stood there, waiting for further instructions, Xemnas spoke in a way that Saix had earlier. "Please take a seat." He offered, turning to face me.
"Rixika, as I understand, we have no knowledge of your skills. Please present them to me."
I stood up, holding out my arm and twirled my fingers in a manner of magic. Xemnas's eyes seemed to widen in surprise and satisfaction as a green magical force came together to form and summon my bow.
[Pure-bloods] appeared by order of Vexen's failed experiments, and withdrew an arrow from the unlimited supply in my quiver.
I hit one of the three between the eyes; the second twice being in the knees; the third and final struck down through the forehead. I took a bow, and took my seat.
That show left Xemnas more than impressed by my skills.
"I believe we shall give you the title of 'The Swift Snake'." I was dismissed, but took a detour to The Grey Area.
Might as well complete a mission while I'm at it.
Once found, I accepted a mission to Halloween Town from Saix. Besides, I need to keep up my promise and give a visit to Ol' Jack.
