It was late in the afternoon, and the dying sun cast it's colors upon the Great Hall. One window on the third floor stood open, and the curtains fluttered as the dusky air blew in. The room was Xel's, and she had been busily moving about her room collecting her things. Several suitcases were sitting open on the large master bed, and Xel neatly folded her clothes and placed them inside the suitcases, next to her other possessions. Xel sniffled slightly as she moved about the room, until she heard footsteps coming up the staircase...it was Damien. He entered the room, and was a little taken back at what he saw, he had never seen Xel like this.
Going somewhere? Why are you taking so much stuff with you?
Xel kept moving about the room, and quickly muttered a reply.
It's none of your business where I'm going.
Damien was dumbfounded, he had never heard Xel speak to him like that before. He stepped further inside the room and carefully eyed Xel as she finished packing her things.
Why are you taking so many things for a trip? Most of your trips last only a few days!
Xel stopped in her tracks, felling she had better come clean. She closed some of the suitcases hastily, then taking in a deep breath, she approached Damien.
I'm not going on another trip, Damien...I'm...I'm.... She sighed loudly as she moved back towards the bed, but Damien's hand grabbed Xel's arm, swinging her around. Her long black hair twirled as Damien brough Xel about, looking her in the face. She seemed troubled, and for the first time Damien could see Xel's human emotions showing. Tell me what's going on. Damien huffed. Xel's face quivered abit, trying to find the right words. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Damien released his grip on Xel, and began gently pacing. So you're not going to tell me what's wrong, eh? You said you're not going on one of your tours, so that leaves me with no other assumption. I'm not stupid Xel, I know what's going on!
Xel turned to Damien, her emotions running rampant now. Do you? Do you Damien? You don't know what's going on with me! Something has changed in you Damien, you are not the same man that I once knew...and loved. Damien halted, and looked at Xel, puzzled. Xel was starting to sob now, a tear sneaking out from behind her big brown eyes. Do you even know what all this recent shit has been doing to me? I feel like I don't even know you anymore Damien, you're like a stranger. All you ever do is hang around with your Generals and Bastien, and you never make any time for me! I'm just an object to you! If you think for a second that my automatronics have silenced my feelings inside, you're wrong. I'm not just a "thing" Damien, and you seem to be forgetting that.
Xel grabbed her suitcases and started down the stairs, and Damien followed right behind. Damien moved in front of her after they had decended the staircase. Look Xel, alot of shit has been going down lately, and I have a job to do. I'm sorry if I can't fuck you every night, or be there to listen to how your day was. I'm trying to keep our nation alive, and our people safe. You know this Xel, don't play stupid. Xel continued to walk towards the door. It's not that Damien, it's just that you've become a shell of the man that I once knew.
Damien forcibly stopped Xel, and tore the mask off his sizzled and scarred face. Is this why Xel? Am I not "pretty" enough for you? Damien barked, raising his hand to his face. If you're judging me by my appea... Xel cut Damien off. No Damien! You are so stubborn! You are refusing to stop and listen to me! Instead of just shutting your damn mouth and listening, you're making these stupid assumptions for yourself. You're wrong Damien, it's not the fact that you're scarred, it's the fact that you're become an animal. Xel was visibly angry, her teeth were clenched as tears streamed down her face. You're a monster Damien, incabable of loving anything but yourself and your nation. Well, have fun with your guns, your troops, your friends, and your Empire, I'm leaving you.
Xel threw open the doors, a car waiting for her. Damien stopped at the door, and screamed. You can't leave me! I made you what you are! Xel turned her head, and calmly replied. That's right Damien, you made me strong enough to see right through you. Goodbye. Xel got into the car, and it sped off leaving Damein standing at the open door. His face quivered with emotion, his thoughts racing through his head. He raised his hands to his head, exhaling deeply. Then, Damein caved.
He dropped to his knees, sobbing and snarling. He sit hunched over, his face buried in his mighty hands as he cried for the first time in his life. He threw his arms out beside him, and with his face looking towards the Heavens, he roared: WHY???????? Why..... Damien sat on the lawn of the Great Hall, watching the sun die as it's colors of red and orange painted the sky.
Going somewhere? Why are you taking so much stuff with you?
Xel kept moving about the room, and quickly muttered a reply.
It's none of your business where I'm going.
