Xenon's confession

The next day...

Vexis felt rather unsettled, she had so many unanswered questions and they only keep increasing without any explanations, last night was another night that she was sent memories of someone else. Though the things she experienced were far different from anything that Lea had sent to her in the past, these were almost (in a way) worse than what Lea usually shows her -a whole world fell apart this time. Vexis went outside and headed for the guild, though she was hesitant to do so in case Xenon was there 'I thought he was different...but apparently I thought wrong, ALL humans are the exact same'. Vexis felt a sudden pain pulse throughout her body "..what is this?" she wondered while trying not to move too much 'Something strong is nearby...it feels like it wants me there with it... she realized she was sensing something. The presence she felt was coming from near the forest just outside of town, Vexis rushed for it and soon wound up in the same place she sensed it -so why wasn't anyone here? She looked all around her, but found nothing "...maybe I was wrong...maybe its just a spare thread of Nova energy..." she started to walk back into town, but someone jumped in front of her. "Don't go just yet...I need to talk to you, Vexis" Xenon said quietly while preventing her from entering town. Vexis looked at him rather impatiently "Why? So that you can prove even more that you're an arrogant idiot?" Xenon looked down "...You're the one who doesn't understand! We're the exact same!" His eyes glowed in a bright red color "You know those memories you saw last night? Those are mine...I sent them!" He soon revealed two wings apon his back -left one black and the right one white. Vexis stepped back a bit in surprise "I was created over 200 years ago, my home planet Lystrium was destroyed about 50 years ago. Then I came here to Aristaisia to hopefully prevent another world from falling...I think I understand more than you what it feels like." Xenon explained to her, his voice was unusually cold and distant. Vexis was now starting to come back to her senses "...I'm sorry...I had no clue...you hid it so well..." she looked down in shame while thinking things through. Xenon folded his wings back in and his eyes changed back to their normal green "Before you go judging someone else you should at least learn a bit about them first, -I learned that lesson years ago when I came across another N-Angel named Yulia, she was the very first one ever made" He returned to his normal attitude now -kind and glad to point things out. Vexis was still a bit confused, thinking about how this guy once knew the very first N-Angel created -'jeez hes old!' she thought jokingly. "Hey! I'm not THAT old!" Xenon yelled out while laughing. Vexis laughed now too "You heard that? jeez...you older angels can do pretty much everything." Xenon started to walk back into town "Nah...not EVERYTHING....close to it though" he teased while heading back the guild, Vexis right next to him.

Kunekaku...? (EDITED)

Vexis successfully completed many missions and hunts over the next few days, they were also starting to challenge her with tougher hunts because of it. Today however, she took the day off, sitting on the roof of the guild, looking down curiously at everyone on the streets below. ' They all seem to know exactly where they're going...and here I am just wandering cluelessly...trying to find my place in this huge world...' She let her mind wander off into it's normally half-aware state. Although, Vexis was soon brought back to reality by a rather loud argument from down below, it was between Ranroh, and that other hunter she saw enter the guild, when Xenon was talking to the mean lady at the desk a few days ago. Ranroh was, of coarse, being his normal, moronic self. "Tazuma!! You've GOT to let me go on this one!" He demanded while chasing after the other hunter. The one called ' Tazuma' stood silently as if Ranroh wasn't even there, he was a tall and strong looking man, his hair was black, cut short. His face was very angular, his eyes were a deep red color, and he generally looked like a very accomplished hunter. "Tazuma! Answer me, dammit!" Ranroh was being a complete idiot, now. Vexis found it to be rather funny that Ranroh was getting all frustrated.

"Out of the question, this hunt is only for skilled fighters" Tazuma finally spoke out, his voice was sharp and easily heard even at a low volume. Ranroh's face almost turned red from anger "BUT I AM A SKILLED FIGHTER!" he whined like a little toddler. Tazuma simply glared at him, then walked off without another word, Ranroh finally figured out that whining wasn't going to get him what he wanted. Vexis jumped down from the roof and gracefully landed in front of Ranroh "Haha! Looks like you lost an argument!" she teased while standing up straight now. Ranroh was surprised to see her appear out of nowhere "You were watching!?" he 'lost his cool' for a brief moment, but then returned to his show-offish/Mr. Coolguy attitude shortly after "I mean...'Hey Vexis', sup?" he tried acting cool, but obviously wasn't. Vexis looked back at the guild's doors "So what exactly were you fighting about? Some kind of hunt?" she immediately skipped to the point. Ranroh sighed, putting aside his Mr. Coolguy act "Yeah...Tazuma the owner of the Guardian Alliance won't let me go with him on this hunt for the legendary beast called Kunekaku...he says I'm not strong enough and that I'm too much of an idiot..." Vexis burst out in laughter "I don't know him and I ALREADY agree with him" she managed to say. Ranroh looked a bit embarrassed for once in his life "Not you too...Xenon also made fun of me..." he hung his head low. Vexis stopped now, she realized that he was ACTUALLY kind of upset "Nah, you may be an idiot, and you may lack strength, but you've got courage -and thats what makes a true warrior" she tried to cheer him up a bit before heading back to her spot on the roof.
