Zexion Chronicles I: XIII Thoughts

Chapter XI: Marluxia


Marluxia, the graceful assassin.
There are only several things to say about him.
Likes flowers and plants of all kinds.
Likes fighting with Saix and Lexeaus.
Hates Xigbar and xaldin for being called he/she.
Hates being disturbed.
Hates how Axel and Xigbar torture his garden/large greenhouse.
Hates fire.
Slightly girlish looks.
Strong fighter, physically.
Has the element of nature

When i first met Marluxia, i did think he was a girl, but after receiving one of his evil grins, it was obvious that he was a boy.
He is a rather strange Nobody. Well, we're all strange in our own ways anyway.
When he joined Organization XIII, i studied him like do to with all the newcomers.
And the first thing i found out, he likes, or rather loves flowers and plants. Well that was a guess.
He, like me has to flick his hair out of his eyes every few minuets, and that was when i saw Rose petals fall out of his hair.
I don't know if they fall out, or randomly appear.
Anyone who would have petals falling out of their hair must like flowers, so that is how i knew.
That and his stench which was all different kinds of flowers. It burned my nose at first, but i grew used to it.
I really don't understand how he can like flowers so much.
They're too colourful and the smell can burn my nose.
I asked him why he likes them so much. And this was his answer. "They're simply beautiful works of art that are amazing."
True i can understand every single word he said, but still, that does not give me the answer i wanted.
I don't really see flowers as works of art, but it is obvious they are extremely helpful.
It annoys me how much i do not, and cannot understand about him, and the other members.

Another thing he likes, and i wouldn't have guessed this, ever. Fighting with Lexeaus and Saix.
Not fighting as in arguing, but phisical combat.
It is true that Marluxia has little muscle, but he is by far the 4th strongest member of Organization XIII.
His weapon for fighting, a unique pink scythe with a pale green and slightly bent handle or pole.
I don't understand how a nobody with a scythe can be so powerful.
How is fights is pretty much straightforward.
He just slashes away at his enemies. That is really all there is, apart from his teleporting everywhere for fatal blows.
Marluxia is deadly at close combat and long range.
Whoever he is fighting always think that because he has a scythe, he is only good at close combat.
They could not be more wrong.
Not when Marluxia can swing his scythe to create dark crimson energy waves that do serious damege.
He can also create pillars of the same crimson energy that blast up from the ground that can kill on contact.
But he doesn't use that much.
One thing he does use often is make it rain rose petals, which form into tornadoes and spirals. Both are deadly.
Marluxia is powerful. Powerful indeed. But even with all that, he cannot defeat Saix or Lexeaus.
Whenever those three clash at once, there's only one thing you can do or say.
"Run! run away!" As Demyx always says and runs to safety. Other members just simply walk away.

Now for the things he hates.
The first thing is Xigbar and Xaldin for calling him he/she. All because he has pink hair and likes flowers. Pathetic.
Even though Xaldin only calls him that when he is annoyed by him. And i don't see how he is annoying at all.
Xigbar simply calls him that since it's his nickname. Maybe Xigbar's brain is too old to remember our names.
Marluxia hates how Xigbar and Axel use his flowers for target practice. Obviously.
Although flowers stand out like a red blob on white paper, i don't see how they are good targets.
I mean, targets are supposed to be round. And flowers are nowhere near that.
But i think they just do it to annoy him. Another thing i don't get, and probably never will.
Lastly, Marluxia hates Axel again for him burning his garden. Burning flowers... that really is a disgusting smell.
Axel... i just don't understand him. Why would he burn Marluxia's garden when he knows he might just die from him?
Axel was never very smart, so i guess that explains it.
And because he hates Axel, he hates fire. No need to say anything really. He just hates it because it destroys.
And Marluxia hates being disturbed when he's in his garden.
No surprise there, we all hate being disturbed when we are in the midst of something.
But i think he hates it more than anyone else.

Marluxia's element, which everyone can guess after talking to him. Nature.
But he is unlike the other members since he hardly uses it in battle.
Well he only uses the power of nature to create tornadoes made of petals. That's all.
But he uses it far more outside of battle, in his garden.
I'm not completely sure what he uses it for, apart from growing flowers, but still, he uses his element more than anyone else.

And lastly... his looks. Well he is mostly normal.
Only his hair makes him unique. Sometimes i wonder if Marluxia dyes his hair.
Some days, his hair is normal pink. Other days it is slightly faded pink, like his hair colour is withering away.
I'm sure everyone has noticed, but they don't care.
Marluxia himself stands about 5"8, even though he is exactly the same height as Xemnas who is 6".
And from his looks, i would say he too would be an older brother. Or maybe half brother, even though there is no difference.

EliasDae- I thank you for your review. And i hope Zexion is in character for you. I'm not very god with this sort of thing, but i find Zexion... well... easy. I wouldn't call Zexion emo, but... well an emo is easy to put in character... so he's easy.
I'm not calling him emo though.

EliasDae- Thankyou again for your review. And do you really think i did Luxord right? Cause I'm not sure.

BlackBunny15- Thankyou for your review too. I never really thought how easy it is to get Zexion's personality right.
Not untill i tried anyway. And yse, it is clear that they can feel emotions, though just a small amount.
I wouldn't exactly call them nobodies. I mean, they have no emotion right?
And what does Saix do in battle? Go berserk. He has to feel rage to be so powerful, right?

Aelsthla-Mental- And i thank you for your review as well. I know i may be picking on Axel a bit, i know he isn't dumb enough to burn Marluxia's garden, only to have to run for his life the next second... but it seems like something he would do.
If he was bored and hated Marluxia anyway.
And about the spelling mistakes. I don't get it. I write the story carefully, spell check it all the time and go through it.
And after all that, i still find spelling mistakes. What. The. Hell? I guess i just need to go over it again.
