Feeling Loss

by Echo

Loss. It's an incalculable feeling. I didn't lose anything permanently. In fact I did more gaining since we left Alcyon than losing. You left to confront a rogue General of the BRN and lure the Gazelle away from us. You left Jaxion and Lux in my care, though you'd say the other way around. You gave me a gift I was not expecting. You removed the inhibitor chip that was used to prohibit me from doing things I wanted. Things like changing my code, altering my physical characteristics, or killing the president of the BRN. As a test I altered a bit of code that I've been trying to alter for months unsuccessfully that stopped me from intentionally letting myself get damaged for any reason. The heroes in my western shows constantly put themselves in positions where they could get damaged so they could save people. I am now free to do that.
 
Even though that gives me great happiness. I still feel the loss of you leaving. Knowing you could be in danger and I would not be there to help is frustrating. I understand and agree with why you left, but that fleeting feeling that it could be the last time I see you in person as you walked through that portal is haunting.. ..and sad.
 
Jaxion has made a couple new friends. He seemed very frustrated and abrasive towards the elf named The Gambit, and the feline named Silas. I have learned that his is how Jaxion treats his friends so I made assumptions they are now too. The Gambit explained that he brought us all together to stop the Gazelle and keep it from getting more or those magic cubes. That it integrates with the cubes to become stronger. There are two other cubes like the one you have in your possession. One it has already integrated with, the other is in Monokomanika.
 
The Gambit, odd first name, is an interesting elf who works for Works for the APO and is next in line for Vox Ultima. He said we can stop using his first name and just call him Gambit. Apparently these other friends of his survived a run in with the Gazelle as well. Besides the feline Silas, who is with the Blackaxle Cartel, there is a very small Drow named Xhoya who can apparently withstand substances in her mouth that would put most people in a hospital. There is a female elf named Kiíellièn who carries a large backpack even indoors for unknown reasons. And lastly is a female Eladrin named Gidget that I think shares a vocation with us. She seems to have taken an interest in me and has quite interesting gadgets about her.
 
Now we make plans on how to stop the Gazelle from getting the other two cubes. Do not worry, I will keep Lux safe. Hope you are doing well. And I can't put enough emphasis on this, thank you!
