Visiting Draco

Grabbing Rhonabwy's arm, Dragon pulled him aside. "I need to see your master. Now."

Rhonabwy arched an eyebrow. "What for?"

"I just learned that Draco had assigned Broden to watch over Flan's daughter," Dragon said. "And now that Flan and her daughter--what's with the face?"

Rhonabwy had a look of anger and trace of remorse on his face. Clearing his throat and putting on a neutral look, he said, "Nothing. Let's go."

Grabbing Dragon's arm in turn, Rhonabwy transported the two of them to the Home of the Dragon Gods where they were immediately transformed into their dragon forms [1]. Ignoring the splendor about her (which was near impossible), Dragon went to the center of the Home where she knew Draco would be. Throwing open the doors to the large copper building, Dragon saw Draco stretched out on the floor watching her approach. [2]

"Yes, granddaughter of Rhonabwy," Draco said. "How may I help you?"

"Tell me all you know about Flannery O'Bowie," Dragon said. "Who is the blonde man who called her wife and who is her daughter? And how the hell do they have such strong magical powers in them when they're merely human?!"

"Why are you asking me this when you sent your sister Nogard to find out the very same information?" Draco asked.

"Because she doesn't tend to look at details," Dragon replied.

"I think you underestimate her," Draco said. "I'll make a deal with you. Wait until Nogard returns and see what she has to say. If you feel that there are missing details, and you've obtained more information from Broden, then and only then will I explain what I know about Miss O'Bowie and the two with her."

"No!" Dragon said. "I want you to tell me right now, you overgrown li--"

Draco growled. "Be wary of what you say, quarterling." [3]

Snapping her jaw shut, Dragon nodded. "Forgive me, sai. My tongue ran away with me there for a moment."

"It is forgiven," Draco said. "Rhonabwy, please escort your granddaughter back home."

"As you wish, sai," Rhonabwy replied, nodding.

Confusion

When the portal in front of her closed, Xangord was stunned. The Nobody who had looked back at her when she called her son's name was not Xink like she had first thought. He looked quite a bit like Riku except for the black streak across his eyes and the cut of his hair. So who was he?

That, and Xangord was nearly positive he was dragging Zexion.

Sensing a Nobody power flux near her, Xangord summoned her four tail whip. Snapping it out to her right, Xangord yanked it to the left. A young male Nobody slammed to the ground in front of her. "What's your name and former Rank?"

"Wolexod, Master of the Woods," the Nobody replied nervously. "I know who you are, Gray Leviathan. Please don't kill me."

With a twitch of her whip, Xangord released Wolexod. "I won't if you tell me who that Nobody was that just left and who he had with him."

"He said he was Chixalam," Wolexod replied, standing up. "And he claims he holds the rank of Key of Destiny. The two he had with him was Xami, Mistress of Bubbles, and Zexion--"

"But that couldn't be the Cloaked Schemer," Xangord said. "From the reports I've received, the Organization was destroyed."

"It was, I swear," Wolexod said. As an afterthought, he added, "Chixalam said that the Organization was back and I guess they're going around rounding up those of us who deserted."

Xangord frowned. "This bears some looking into."

Ignoring Wolexod, Xangord created a portal back to Dragon's house directly to Nerissa's mainframe. She was going to pull up everything she could about the potential return of Organization XIII before she went back to the castle.

Chixalam, 2

After tossing Xami into a cell and marking her off the tablet, Chixalam headed for the computer room to do some research. Finding it empty, he sat down in front of the main console and began typing away.

"What are you doing, Chixalam?"

Glancing over his shoulder, Chixalam saw Vexen standing just behind him. He replied, "Research."

"Into what?"

"Several things."

"Such as?"

"Who Roxas was. Who it is the top three Nobodies are. And why one of them called me Xink."

Stepping to Chixalam's side, Vexen reached forward and turned the screen off. "You know all you need to know about all of that."

Chixalam frowned a bit--but decided to let it slide for now. Sooner or later, he would find out what he wanted to know. Getting up, he said, "Fine. I guess I'll go and get another one on the list."
