J'xom nodded, " Wasn't my idea..." He said, raising an eye brow, but saying no more, instead Xanth did the talking, Delth, How come your rider doesn't like talking? Does she have a reason like J'xom says he has? J'xom grimaced, What did you say? Xanth paused before replying, I asked Delth why Alli doesn't talk, that's all. J'xom nodded, Can you move, I don't like it in here, it's too crowded, look you at least tried... Xanth cut him off, I'm not moving, J'xom, not until I feel like it. J'xom slumped up against a wall, eyes closed, sighing once more he mumbled aloud, " Xanth,you won't cease to amaze me." Then suddenly a memory, or maybe even a dream hit him like a rock,

"Come on squirt, can't you talk?"
Came the familar gruff voice of his brother, " You're pathetic worm waste, now git outta here 'fore I kill ya, and leave you for the tunnel snakes."
J'xom stood, solem faced and spoke, in his toughest voice he could muster, being young at the time, " I'm not worm waste, I do all the chores an' feed the animals." His brother had scowled and walked away, leaving J'xom locked outside for the night...
That memory afded replaced by a much more violent one,
"You, you mute boy? Talk!" Some loud voice had shouted at him, followed by a blow to his head, " Come on! Are you mute?" J'xom remembered wincing and mubling, " Ain't mute..." The voice grew even louder, " So you can talk." J'xom nodded, " I can talk." The voice exploded into laughter, making J'xom clench his fists, " I'm warning you..." He mumbled, then flew at the man fists balled, big mistake... In only a few moments he was lieing on the ground, bruised and beaten, the other man limping away.

Soon even that memory faded away, replaced by blurred images...

Thread...
River...
Water...
Blackness...
Burning...
Nothing.


J'xom winced, fists balled, sudden rage sparked by memories feeding through to Xanth, who's eyes began to swirl red.
