Chapter 35: Forgotten Farewells
The blood lay everywhere and the wound was pretty deep. Suddenly Sora collapsed to the ground on one knee as blood dripped down from the gash in his left arm. Both of Sora’s Keyblades vanished as he hit the floor leaving him without any weapon to attack or defend with. In the seconds before Sora had tried to attack him he had managed to summon back his Keyblade and slash it into Sora’s left arm. That wound however had not been enough to finish it completely. Salix felt his grip go loose on his Keyblade as it tumbled to the ground. Suddenly Salix fell to the ground a large X shaped gash in his chest from Sora’s attack. The wound slowly bled as it soaked into his sky-blue cloak. The attack had seriously wounded Salix and in his current condition, standing was most certainly no longer an option. Sora had approached victory and grabbed it. Sora slowly pulled the Keyblades out of his body like slivers as he slowly managed to stand up. Sora walked over to Salix’s left side before kneeling down next to him. Sora looked back; the Keyblades under Salix’s control had all fallen to the ground by now. Sora then turned back as he looked down at Salix.
“Why did you bring me here,” Sora asked out of the blue.
Salix paused for a moment as he seemed to stare into space.
“…I apologize. You must have suffered. And although I cannot understand this emotion nor feel it. I do remember it. And for that I apologize,” Salix said. “You see I brought you here for two reasons. The first was simply because I wanted to see how well my own techniques and abilities faired against your own. And the second I guess was because, I can’t understand emotions. But I guess somewhere deep down. I’ve wanted to understand them more than anything else. But then again it’s been so long. Maybe I was never meant to.”
Salix smiled as he gripped his hands tightly making them into fists.
“You don’t have to understand your emotions. If we all did feel we had to do that then everyone would act like you had. And well, there really isn’t any reason to chase after a question that has no answer is there,” Sora said as he smiled. “Answers like that come to us from our friends and those we care about. It’s answered over time and most of the time we don’t even know it. That’s at least how I figured it out.”
“…I suppose you’re right, defeating me proved that,” Salix said.
Suddenly the Keyblades in the area turned back into hearts as Salix forced them back into his memory before making his Keyblade he had used in battle vanish.
“So many hearts, yet none of them provides what I truly wish to understand,” Salix said.
Sora almost felt sorry for Salix as he looked down at him. Suddenly a loud echo flew through the world followed by another and another.
“Whoa what is that,” Sora asked confused.
“The Heartless, they’ve been here for a while but well they know better than to approach me. Now however, well I doubt they’d fear a dying man,” Salix said.
“What do we do,” Sora asked.
“Stay close,” Salix replied.
Suddenly several large Heartless appeared resembling the one that had destroyed Sora’s home the Destiny Islands. Salix smiled as a portal opened up around them and they vanished before the Heartless could attack either of them. Sora covered his head for a second before slowly looking around. They had returned to Salix’s stronghold, all in thanks to the Corridors of Darkness.
“Sora,” a voice shouted.
Sora looked over as he saw Riku, Kairi and King Mickey still being held by Salix’s familiar Nobodies.
“Riku, Kairi, your majesty,” Sora shouted happily.
Slowly Salix got to one knee as he looked up at the Nobodies holding Sora’s captured friends. Salix shot his right arm across waving it in their direction.
“Release them,” Salix said.
As if on command the three Nobodies released their captives and vanished. Sora ran over to the three as he hugged them happy to see them returned safely after so long.
“So Sora you defeated Salix on your own,” Riku asked.
“Yep, well actually Roxas helped me,” Sora replied smiling.
“He did,” Riku said surprised.
“Yep and Salix told me why he brought us here, he- -,” Sora started to say but stopped half way.
Sora quickly turned around remembering his other friends and questions for Salix.
“Huh, Salix,” Sora shouted as he saw the body of Salix laying flat back up on the ground.
Quickly the group ran over as Sora knelt down and moved Salix so he was face up.
“So you’ve got your friends back huh,” Salix said as he coughed.
“Are you- -,” Sora began to say but was interrupted.
“Yes, but what does it matter. Anyways you need your other friends correct,” Salix said as a portal opened up on the other side of the room. “The portal will take you to the rest of your friends. They’re still in the pods. You will find your way home there as well.”
“Bt Salix when you said you were testing us what did you mean by that,” Sora asked.
“Yeah it doesn’t seem like this would be all for something very small,” Kairi added.
“I wanted to see if your emotions for your friends could outlast the pain and suffering you would have to go through and endure here. I don’t understand emotions nor can I feel them that was what led me to being so curious. Clearly however you proved you were strong enough to go through all of this and defeat me,” Salix explained. “But none of that matters now, you should hurry your friends are waiting.”
“Well I’m grateful for you bringing us here. If you hadn’t I wouldn’t have become as strong as I have. Now I can protect my friends from anyone. Thanks a lot,” Sora said as he smiled with his goofy looking grin.
Salix listened and he could have sworn for almost a minute that he was talking to a different person a person he had long since lost. An image flashed in Salix’s mind of a man with short dirty blonde hair and ocean blue eyes.
“All right fellas let’s get going,” King Mickey said as he turned around towards the portal Salix had created.
Sora, Riku, Kairi and King Mickey took off as they all entered the portal as it closed behind them leaving Salix alone in the room. Salix felt a sense of loneliness as he began to fade away like all the members of the Organization had upon dying. Salix slowly raised his right hand and placed it over his blind right eye covering some of his face over too. A small smile appeared across Salix’s face as a brief laugh broke through but quickly stopped.
“Thanking the one who tried to kill him. Not taking revenge. What an idiot. …He reminds me, a lot of you...Ocean,” Salix said as his body continued to dissipate until he had completely vanished.
Sora charged out of the portal as he looked around. The area was familiar it was the same area that Riku, Kairi and King Mickey had been trapped in earlier. Sora looked around as Riku, Kairi and King Mickey came through the portal. Finally he found the pods that his remaining friends Goofy and Donald had been trapped in. Sora ran up to them quickly as he looked around the pod, before he began to bang on the pod windows with his fists.
“Goofy, Donald wake up! This is no time to sleep! Come on you guys wake up,” Sora shouted as he continued to bang his fists against the pods
Apparently Sora didn’t realize there was a button less than a foot away from his left hand that would eject both of them from their sleeping chambers.
“Um Sora let me handle this,” Kairi said as she walk over pressing the button.
Slowly the pods opened as Sora and Kairi backed away. Water spilled across the floor as Goofy and Donald slowly opened their eyes.
“Guys you’re all right,” Sora said as he ran forward and jumped up to hug them.
“Well gawrsh of course Sora,” Goofy said as he hugged Sora back and yawned. “Though, it does seem like I’ve been sleepin’ for a while.”
“Yeah it does feel like- -,” Donald started to say but suddenly noticed King Mickey and snapped to attention. “Uh, your majesty!”
Quickly Goofy also snapped to attention as he too noticed his king.
“I’m glad to see you’re both ok again,” King Mickey said smiling.
“Uh yeah don’t worry about us your majesty we wouldn’t lose to anybody,” Donald said.
“Then how’d you end up in that pod there,” Riku asked.
“What,” Donald shouted as he tried to tackle Riku but was held back by both Sora and Goofy.
“Now Donald, remember your temper,” Goofy said reminding him.
Donald continued to squirm about his temper flaring as it normally did as the group began to laugh.
“So you defeated the old man. What a surprise,” a familiar voice said as Sora turned around to see a black portal open.
Slowly a man in a sky-blue cloak walked out as the portal disappeared. Slowly the man removed his hood revealing himself to be the recovering Xishn.
“Xishn,” Sora shouted.
“You’re the man who brought me here,” Kairi said.
“Yep, so Salix used you in his fight, huh,” Xishn said.
“So what are you doing here exactly? You didn’t come to fight again did you,” Riku asked a bit suspicious but with good reasons after everything that had happened.
“I have no orders nor intentions to fight you,” Xishn replied.
“Then why come here? I don’t think you’d come here just for a victory greeting,” Riku said.
“You seem tense. Don’t be. The old man may have brought you here to test you through much suffering and combat but he wouldn’t lie to you,” Xishn explained as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vial. “Anyways here catch.”
Xishn threw the vial as Sora caught it in his right hand. Sora’s eyes reflected off the vial as he looked at it. The color of the liquid inside was a bright green and it reminded Sora of a drink he had once had back home at the Destiny Islands.
“What is it Sora,” Riku asked.
“I’m not sure it looks cool though,” Sora said as he shook it up as if it were a toy.
“…Um I wouldn’t do that. It’s very difficult to make,” Xishn warned.
“So what is it exactly,” Riku asked as he walked over to Sora and snatched it from his hands.
“Something the old man made. It helps to heal the wounds much faster then normal. A few drops of that should heal any minor cuts or lacerations, any serious wounds should heal in a mouth full,” Xishn explained.
“So it’s similar to the healing pill he gave Sora,” Riku asked.
“Healing pill? He gave you it,” Xishn asked.
“Yeah what about it,” Riku asked again becoming a bit suspicious.
“It’s incredibly difficult to create and takes a very long time to form. I’m not sure why he’d use such a last resort. But whatever, it’s kinda like that but it only heals the immediate wounds not wounds he might receive 5 minutes from now,” Xishn explained.
“So fellas what do you say we head home now,” King Mickey said.
“Ready when you are your majesty,” Donald and Goofy said simultaneously as they snapped to attention again.
“Yeah it’ll be good to get back home,” Sora said.
“That’s why I’m here,” Xishn said. “Now if you’ll follow me.”
Xishn raised his right hand and snapped his fingers as a portal appeared behind him.
“I can’t wait to get home,” Kairi said as she smiled.
“Let’s go,” Sora said as he charged forward followed by the rest of the group.
As the last of the small group entered the portal Xishn followed them shortly before the portal closed behind them. Slowly a cloaked figure walked forward towards where the portal had just closed, revealing himself to be Selvix. Selvix looked around at the area his hood down as he smiled happily.
“Farewell Sora. Until we meet again,” Selvix said smiling as he turned and left the room.
well i think that shocked a few of us. i know some of you were wondering about who would die as i spoiled that a bit for a few of you so what do you think? >=D also there's been a change in the posting of the first chapter of Salix II it may take a bit longer than expected though i hope it will be posted relatively on time. ^^;;;

cant wait "pulls out sword in excitment" read for anything in the story" o look the word in is in the story " shocked"
good job DT. nice conclusion to the fight.
With Salix being dead, it makes you wonder why the next story is titled Salix II.
it's a temporary name just like Salix I. the actual name for by Salix I is The Hearts that Form the Key Salix II is just a convenient and temporary title until i figure out what to to call it. lolz =D actually i just started to write Salix II and it's working well. however i haven't even completed the first page yet so i don't have any real results yet. as for the final chapter, Chapter 36: Memories of the Reunited. i'll post that as soon as i return from i how do you say it *hiatus?* i believe that's right. and then as soon as possible i'll post up the first chapter of Salix II ^_^
EDIT:
i thought i'd post up a little info from Salix I about Salix's Keyblade in case anyone was curious. =D
Keyblade: Obscured Existence
Grey Eye – Causes Blindness to the Enemy
Limitations: The user can use this either with direct contact or not direct contact. Direct contact allows for complete blindness while indirect contact causes blurry vision. Indirect contact’s effects can last up to a full minute after being used however direct contact if it keeps being made can stay in effect up until the Keyblade is no longer making contact with the victim, at which point it can stay in effect for up to one minute. If the victim of the attack can become use to it over medium or long periods of time then it’s possible for them to act on that normally as if they could see.
Blue Eye – Allows the User to See Into the Future
Limitations: The user can use this either with direct contact or not direct contact. Direct contact allows the user to see much further into the future as far as 2 minutes while indirect contact can only see about 7 seconds into the future. However the future is not absolute things can be changed and altered so the future is different. This requires a large amount of memorization and mental capabilities when used. If the user does not have large amounts of both it is impossible to use this. Using this eye too many times in combat situations can cause serious damage to the user’s mental and physical health.
Mental health – in most cases loss of mental health will decrease with less of an ability to memorize items and sometimes the loss of memories. In rare and worst case scenarios it can create a loss of balance and sanity in the user.
Physical health – in most cases loss of physical health will awaken minor headaches. However it can in rare and worst case scenarios create minor muscle deterioration and aging physically of the body.

Chapter 36: Memories of the Reunited
Sora ran across the beach the water washing towards him as he happily twirled around before slipping and falling face first into the sand. Kairi and Riku followed close behind running after their overly enthusiastic friend. Slowly Sora sat up staring into darkness.
“What huh who turned out the lights,” Sora asked confused.
Kairi and Riku burst out laughing as Sora reach up and grabbed the large starfish that had attached itself to Sora’s face. Sora pulled the starfish off as the suction cups on the bottom of it slowly detached from Sora’s face. Sora looked up at his friends as he smiled in his goofy manner. The waves slowly washed up the beach as the three sat at the water’s edge, watching it rush up and barely manage to touch the tips of their shoes.
“It’s good to be finally back isn’t it,” Kairi said.
“Yeah it is. But still I didn’t expect to come back to all this homework. I only missed a bit,” Sora said complaining.
“Well that’s what you get. I already finished mine,” Kairi replied.
“What? Oh man, hey Riku did you finish yours yet,” Sora asked.
“Of course, it wasn’t that hard. Or has your brain fried since we returned,” Riku asked as both he and Kairi laughed at Sora.
“Ha ha very funny,” Sora said pouting for a second before turning and staring at the setting sun. “But you guys seriously do you think we’ll ever have any more adventures like that one?”
“Maybe, you never know. But I doubt we’ll be hearing from the Exiled Order again. Remember what Xishn said Sora,” Riku asked.
Sora looked up at the sky as the memory played back in his head. It’d been a week since the group had all been together after all. Slowly Xishn created a portal as he snapped his fingers and the group all said their goodbyes.
“Let’s get going then shall we,” Xishn said as the king, Goofy and Donald turned and walked into the portal.
“Oh by the way, you most likely won’t ever hear from us again. So don’t worry about any other unannounced entrances. Though it is just most likely I don’t know what the Exiled Order has in stored for you. I’m just position number 21 after all,” Xishn explained.
“Thanks for letting us know,” Sora said smiling.
“No problem. Oh and Roxas, I’m not sure if you can hear me now. But if you can, we won’t be seeing each other again so, it was good to know you. Farewell,” Xishn said as he walked away into the portal.
Silence filled the air as the portal closed behind leaving the three islanders to their home once again. A cold wind seemed to blow through the air as the silent words echoed.
“Farewell Xishn,” a voice said as an image of Roxas appeared over Sora and then slowly vanished.
Sora stared forward at the water the memory ending.
“Yeah I remember that. But he did say most likely so who knows,” Sora said.
“I just hope you guys let me join in the fun next time,” Kairi added pouting a bit.
“Yeah of course Kairi,” Sora said smiling.
“If that sort of thing ever happens again,” Riku added as he stared off at the setting sun that lay across the splashing waves.
“Anyways we’re back home right? Let’s just be happy now,” Sora said as he stood up.
“Yeah you’re right Sora,” Kairi said smiling.
“We’ll always be together as friends no matter what,” Riku added.
“Yeah, race you to the boats,” Sora said as he turned towards the small dock with their boats attached it.
“You’re on,” Riku said smiling.
“Not if I beat you both,” Kairi said as she took off running.
“Hey that’s cheating Kairi,” Sora said as he took off after her and the three laughed playfully enjoying their return home.
Quickly the three raced down the beach towards their boats under the setting sun where everything had begun on that dark and stormy night that seemed so very long ago.
“So this is where you were,” a voice said as a portal opened up further down the beach and a man in a black cloak appeared.
Slowly the man removed his hood revealing himself to be Zixan of the Exiled Order.
“What were you doing,” Zixan asked the man in the sky-blue cloak that stood in front of him.
“Just listening to them,” the man in a sky-blue cloak said his hood up.
“So what you told him. Was that truth,” Zixan asked.
“…I’m not sure yet,” the man in a sky-blue cloak replied.
“I see, well it’s none of my business what you think in that area, Salix,” Zixan said.
“By the way what did happen when you approached the area in which I fought Sora,” Salix asked as he removed his hood slowly as a breeze blew his long black hair off to the side.
Zixan sighed as he placed his head in his left hand before looking back up at Salix and shaking his head obviously not wanting to recall the memories of what had happened.
“…Well fine if you really want to know,” Zixan said as he began to replay his memory of what had happened back in Salix’s stronghold.
“I said no,” a voice shouted. “There’s no way in hell I’d carry you even an inch.”
“Aw come on don’t be such a jerk about it. I mean moving through the Corridors of Darkness is impossible here if you’re not one of Salix’s allies. And now my feet hurt,” the second voice said complaining as a group of 5 Exiled Order members appeared.
The two who had been talking were Xatsuin and Zaverxi. The remaining three of the group were Rextanse, Zixan and DrBanxon.
“And again I’ll say no. Now get the hell away from me,” Zaverxi said becoming irritated.
“Man what a party pooper. And I’m so tired,” Xatsuin said complaining.
Suddenly DrBanxon popped up in front of Xatsuin surprising him a bit though it should have been expected considering it was DrBanxon after all.
“I’ll carry you,” DrBanxon said the same crazy yet creepy look on his face that he always wore.
Suddenly DrBanxon skidded across the floor in front of the group a punch wound to the face from Xatsuin.
“I’m definitely not that tired,” Xatsuin replied knowing he certainly didn’t want to be carried by the weirdest person he had ever even heard of in his life.
“Now are you sure you won’t carry me,” Xatsuin asked.
“God I’m going to kill you,” Zaverxi muttered under his breath.
“If you idiots don’t shut up we’ll never make it without being discovered by Salix,” Rextanse said extremely irritated as he slammed his right fist into the wall taking his anger out on it rather than the others.
Suddenly the wall began to collapse as it shattered and fell everywhere making a loud echo throughout the whole stronghold. Rextanse gripped his fist tighter as his right eye began to twitch he was so irritated.
“Um just to let you know that probably let him know we were here,” Xatsuin said pointing out the obvious.
“Yes I think I figured that out,” Rextanse said barely holding back his anger as he walked forward catching up with Zixan who had walked away from the group. “How do you put up with them?”
“Just keep telling yourself it’s almost over. It works most of the time,” Zixan replied.
“…I just don’t understand why we got stuck with the short end of the stick,” Rextanse said.
“You chose to come here remember. I’m the only one with the short end of the stick,” Zixan replied.
“I suppose but still to have to listen to those two idiots, excuse me three idiots gets irritating after a while,” Rextanse said.
“Whatever just keep heading forward,” Zixan replied.
“That’s it, you’re so ****ing dead,” Zaverxi shouted angrily as his clawed gauntlets appeared over his hands and charged forward at Xatsuin.
“What all I asked is if you would play rock paper scissors with me,” Xatsuin replied.
“Those idiots are gonna let Salix know our location,” Rextanse said.
“As if he doesn’t know,” Zixan added.
Zaverxi threw his right arm with the clawed gauntlet forward at Xatsuin connecting with chest. Tiny fragments of something hard flew everywhere shattering as they hit the floor revealing it to be Xatsuin’s gem coating that had covered the area in which Zaverxi’s clawed gauntlet had impacted.
“Jesus you could have killed me,” Xatsuin shouted.
“That was the whole point,” Zaverxi replied angrily as his left hand shot forward with the cawed gauntlet.
Quickly Xatsuin jumped backwards as he summoned his sword and shield to each of his hands and his gems disappeared from his chest. The two instantly flew forward at each other with weapons in hand. Suddenly both of them tripped as two chains appeared one attached to Xatsuin’s right foot and one attached to Zaverxi’s right foot. The two instantly fell and collided into each other as their weapons vanished. The chains then vanished as the two got to their feet. Xatsuin held his head from the pain as Zaverxi angrily ignored his pain and looked around for whoever had just done that to him.
“Who the hell just did that? Come out here you bastard,” Zaverxi shouted angrily.
“That’s enough you two. You’ve made such a racket ever since you arrived,” a voice said.
A black portal opened in front of the group as a man in a sky-blue cloak appeared. Slowly the man removed his hood revealing himself to be Lonex the left side of his face covered by the mask he always wore to hide what lay behind it.
“So you’re the bastard who did that. I’m gonna kill you,” Zaverxi shouted as he rushed forward.
As Zaverxi started to run forward a blade suddenly shot up in front of his face as Rextanse appeared next to him stopping him from attacking Lonex.
“So you’ve arrived again. Why is this,” Rextanse asked.
“I don’t hold grudges. Die or live it doesn’t much matter to me. Anyways you should follow me Xishn will be returning soon,” Lonex said as he turned back towards the portal he had come through.
“Why is Salix letting us enter now? Did he lose,” Zixan asked.
“…The battle never ended. He intends to keep it that way,” Lonex replied.
“What the hell do you mean by that,” Zaverxi asked.
“It’s simple he means that Salix never intended to kill Sora or his friends. In fact this whole thing was more of a test than anything. He held back and so did Xishn when fighting Sora. That explains both why the castle is still in tact and why Sora isn’t dead,” Rextanse explained as he lowered his sword making it vanish once again.
“Yes, but we didn’t go through this without our fair share of casualties. We lost the six that Salix created,” Lonex said.
“Six of what,” Xatsuin asked.
“…All will be explained when Salix intends to let you know,” Lonex said.
“By the way Lonex, where is Salix right now,” Zixan asked.
“…He’s resting, if you come with me I’ll take you to the meeting chamber,” Lonex replied.
“So we talk to him on his schedule,” Zaverxi asked becoming a bit pissed.
“This is his stronghold not yours or mine. So you and I and anyone else must oblige by what he says and the rules he makes,” Lonex explained.
“I’ll oblige by kicking his ass,” Zaverxi replied an enraged look in his eyes.
Suddenly Lonex vanished as he appeared in front of Zaverxi and shot his right hand out grasping Zaverxi by the throat tightly. Zaverxi glared angrily at Lonex. Lonex didn’t budge as he squeezed harder tightening his grip slowly.
“Do not disrespect Salix, understand,” Lonex said as something in him suddenly snapped. “…Or perhaps I won’t give you the chance to.”
A crazed look came over Lonex’s face as he grasped tighter as if trying to break Zaverxi’s neck. Rextanse suddenly recognized what was going on as he and Zixan rushed forward but stopped as they noticed Lonex slowly releasing his grip on Zaverxi’s neck.
“If I have to, I will kill you. Don’t mess things up,” a voice whispered in Lonex’s ear coming from Xishn who had just arrived.
Xishn’s eyes appeared very abnormally serious compared to how they normally looked as he gripped Lonex’s shoulder tightly for a while until the man had completely released Zaverxi who fell to the ground. Xishn then released his grip on Lonex’s shoulder as he patted him on that same shoulder.
“Good job, see it’s easy enough if you try,” Xishn said smiling as he turned down to Zaverxi. “Sorry about that it’s just you see Lonex is a bit of an odd case.”
“So what are you doing here Xishn,” Rextanse asked.
“Well I had intended to meet you in the meeting chamber but I sensed something going on here and I decided to take a look into it,” Xishn explained.
“I see, well then shouldn’t we get going,” Zixan suggested.
“Yeah let’s get going,” DrBanxon said as he popped up grabbing both Zaverxi and Xatsuin by the neck of their cloaks and charging into the portal.
“…He does realize that there’s a wall 10 feet from the edge of the portal right,” Xishn asked.
“Apparently not,” Rextanse said.
“…That idiot,” Zixan thought to himself as he shook his head and sighed.
Zixan sighed again as the memory ended and he stared forward in the direction Salix was facing.
“After that our number 8 position ran forward into the wall face first and from there well I’m sure you know what happened,” Zixan explained.
“I see that’s a bit more then I wanted to know, but ok. So Lonex lost control again, this is becoming irritating. I’m sure that’s why they threw him out of the Organization,” Salix said. “But he has his uses. So it doesn’t much matter.”
“About that, have you figured out why he’s gotten that way,” Zixan asked.
“…Yes, apparently a while ago a rather peaceful world was destroyed by the Heartless, he lived on that world. His sudden outbursts of mentally unstable moments come from as I have deduced the fact that he witnessed the people of his world destroyed without a thing he could do about it. It doesn’t surprise me that he was damaged so severely. What does surprise me is that he wasn’t damaged even more then he is now,” Salix explained.
“So that’s why he reacted that way. You’re capable of handling him I assume,” Zixan asked.
“Yes he’s nothing too unstoppable,” Salix answered. “By the way, do the Exiled Order higher ups still think I’m not without trust?”
“No they have their trust in you. Just be aware if you make a move that is suspicious to them, they will send Rextanse back,” Zixan explained.
“I understand. And what is your take on this,” Salix asked.
“…No living being is without its traitorous characteristics. Neither you nor I are exceptions to that. That is all I think,” Zixan answered choosing his words carefully. “By the way how did you manage to survive after Sora attacked you?”
“…I was never fighting Sora full force. After all I never wanted to kill him. However I was severely wounded in that fight. More so then I had predicted. I managed to after bringing him back to the stronghold and resting up a bit to gather up enough strength to open a corridor of darkness to my secondary healing chamber. If not for Lonex helping me into one of the healing pods I might have been in some serious trouble,” Salix explained. “My wounds healed quickly and although they weren’t fully healed when I met with you they were healed enough for me to move around though fighting was out of the question.”
“I see so you held back against him. It’s not too surprising, but for him to have wounded you so seriously...,” Zixan said his words trailing off as he fell into deep thought for a second before snapping himself out of it. “In any case I have other business to attend to now. If you’ll excuse me.”
Zixan bowed respectfully as a portal appeared around him and he vanished into it leaving to go back to the Exiled Order main base. Slowly the portal disappeared as soon as Zixan had entered it leaving Salix alone as he gazed out at the near entirely set sun. Suddenly several images entered Salix’s mind of a child with dirty blonde hair and ocean blue eyes appeared. Slowly the boy’s image went from child like to a young man in his teens and finally to a man of 25 years of age. The man smiled in Salix’s mind as his dirty blonde hair was blown around a bit by the wind and his ocean blue eyes reflected everything they saw like a crystal ball would have. Salix cracked a slight smile as a portal opened up a few feet behind him and he shut his eyelids over his blind eyes.
“…Does this place remind you of home too,” Salix said thinking of the man he had seen in his mind.
Slowly Salix turned as he entered the portal behind him leaving the Destiny Islands and all its inhabitants for his stronghold. The sun slowly set as the stars began to appear glowing brightly in the night sky as the moon began shimmering near it in the pitch black sky over Sora’s home, the Destiny Islands.
thank you to all who viewed Salix I i am very happy that people viewed it. *cries* but oh well now that it's over i can begin to makes Salix II. none of you thought that i'd actually kill Salix did you?

Chapter 36: Memories of the Reunited
Sora ran across the beach the water washing towards him as he happily twirled around before slipping and falling face first into the sand. Kairi and Riku followed close behind running after their overly enthusiastic friend. Slowly Sora sat up staring into darkness.
“What huh who turned out the lights,” Sora asked confused.
Kairi and Riku burst out laughing as Sora reach up and grabbed the large starfish that had attached itself to Sora’s face. Sora pulled the starfish off as the suction cups on the bottom of it slowly detached from Sora’s face. Sora looked up at his friends as he smiled in his goofy manner. The waves slowly washed up the beach as the three sat at the water’s edge, watching it rush up and barely manage to touch the tips of their shoes.
“It’s good to be finally back isn’t it,” Kairi said.
“Yeah it is. But still I didn’t expect to come back to all this homework. I only missed a bit,” Sora said complaining.
“Well that’s what you get. I already finished mine,” Kairi replied.
“What? Oh man, hey Riku did you finish yours yet,” Sora asked.
“Of course, it wasn’t that hard. Or has your brain fried since we returned,” Riku asked as both he and Kairi laughed at Sora.
“Ha ha very funny,” Sora said pouting for a second before turning and staring at the setting sun. “But you guys seriously do you think we’ll ever have any more adventures like that one?”
“Maybe, you never know. But I doubt we’ll be hearing from the Exiled Order again. Remember what Xishn said Sora,” Riku asked.
Sora looked up at the sky as the memory played back in his head. It’d been a week since the group had all been together after all. Slowly Xishn created a portal as he snapped his fingers and the group all said their goodbyes.
“Let’s get going then shall we,” Xishn said as the king, Goofy and Donald turned and walked into the portal.
“Oh by the way, you most likely won’t ever hear from us again. So don’t worry about any other unannounced entrances. Though it is just most likely I don’t know what the Exiled Order has in stored for you. I’m just position number 21 after all,” Xishn explained.
“Thanks for letting us know,” Sora said smiling.
“No problem. Oh and Roxas, I’m not sure if you can hear me now. But if you can, we won’t be seeing each other again so, it was good to know you. Farewell,” Xishn said as he walked away into the portal.
Silence filled the air as the portal closed behind leaving the three islanders to their home once again. A cold wind seemed to blow through the air as the silent words echoed.
“Farewell Xishn,” a voice said as an image of Roxas appeared over Sora and then slowly vanished.
Sora stared forward at the water the memory ending.
“Yeah I remember that. But he did say most likely so who knows,” Sora said.
“I just hope you guys let me join in the fun next time,” Kairi added pouting a bit.
“Yeah of course Kairi,” Sora said smiling.
“If that sort of thing ever happens again,” Riku added as he stared off at the setting sun that lay across the splashing waves.
“Anyways we’re back home right? Let’s just be happy now,” Sora said as he stood up.
“Yeah you’re right Sora,” Kairi said smiling.
“We’ll always be together as friends no matter what,” Riku added.
“Yeah, race you to the boats,” Sora said as he turned towards the small dock with their boats attached it.
“You’re on,” Riku said smiling.
“Not if I beat you both,” Kairi said as she took off running.
“Hey that’s cheating Kairi,” Sora said as he took off after her and the three laughed playfully enjoying their return home.
Quickly the three raced down the beach towards their boats under the setting sun where everything had begun on that dark and stormy night that seemed so very long ago.
“So this is where you were,” a voice said as a portal opened up further down the beach and a man in a black cloak appeared.

Suddenly DrBanxon popped up in front of Xatsuin surprising him a bit though it should have been expected considering it was DrBanxon after all.
“I’ll carry you,” DrBanxon said the same crazy yet creepy look on his face that he always wore.
Suddenly DrBanxon skidded across the floor in front of the group a punch wound to the face from Xatsuin.
“I’m definitely not that tired,” Xatsuin replied knowing he certainly didn’t want to be carried by the weirdest person he had ever even heard of in his life.
“Now are you sure you won’t carry me,” Xatsuin asked.

“I suppose but still to have to listen to those two idiots, excuse me three idiots gets irritating after a while,” Rextanse said.
“Whatever just keep heading forward,” Zixan replied.
“That’s it, you’re so ****ing dead,” Zaverxi shouted angrily as his clawed gauntlets appeared over his hands and charged forward at Xatsuin.
“What all I asked is if you would play rock paper scissors with me,” Xatsuin replied.
“Those idiots are gonna let Salix know our location,” Rextanse said.
“As if he doesn’t know,” Zixan added.
Zaverxi threw his right arm with the clawed gauntlet forward at Xatsuin connecting with chest. Tiny fragments of something hard flew everywhere shattering as they hit the floor revealing it to be Xatsuin’s gem coating that had covered the area in which Zaverxi’s clawed gauntlet had impacted.
“Jesus you could have killed me,” Xatsuin shouted.
“That was the whole point,” Zaverxi replied angrily as his left hand shot forward with the cawed gauntlet.
