Kharaxel, having found a place to sleep in one of the empty rooms with a bed, decided to finally let himself rest.
However, he was not sure when it happened but suddenly he felt a warm light on his face.
"...Ake... Up."
He could hear a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Mmm?" Kharaxel tried to muster his will to get up, but the bed was simply too comfortable.
"WAKE UP ALREADY!"
He felt that someone or something attacked his stomach with great force. In the end, he immediately sprung in back to the land of the awake.
"What the hell... WHO IS- Ah!"
Before him stood a pretty woman in white. She wore tight white jeans, a frilly shirt with long sleeves and her hair was long and white too.
"Finally you woke up, Khar-Ax-El."
Kharaxel couldn't exactly place it, but he recognized her voice... however the appearance didn't really ring any bells.
"Who are you?"
The woman made a pouting face, as if he said something horribly offending.
"That is cold. I was inside you for so long, yet you do not even recognize me."
"Wait... what?"
"I mean, I know I dress up differently now, but only someone as beautiful and sexy as me could be, well, ME."
"Wait, wait. Slow down... you are not making any sense here, miss..."
The woman sighed.
"Fine. I shall tell you my identity, because it seems like we are going nowhere with this."
"Please DO."
She took a deep breath and then...
"It is I. The Maiden."
Kharaxel took a moment to try and process what was just said to him.
Now he realized why he knew the voice, yet not recognized her... looks.
"You are alive?!"
"Now that is rude, why would I be dead?"
"I... well..."
"My brother, The Destroyer did kill Observer to protect me. Well, of course there is also the fact that he had to stop him from breaking the functions of the System."
"Okay... so what are you doing here?"
"That should be obvious... I am here because I am no longer a part of The System. I do not even possess most of my powers anymore, as such, I am stuck in this world."
"Fine. Let me elaborate... what are you doing in this room with me?"
"Well, you are the only person here I actually kind of know so..."
"I am better than nothing, huh?"
"Something like that. Yes."
Kharaxel began pondering what to do. He didn't really want to trust her fully, seeing as she was quite friendly with Tron while they sat in his body, but on the other hand, her cute looks told him to not be too mean to her.
"So what's up with your brother?"
"He is looking for a place for us to live in this world."
"And you're not helping him because?"
"Because that is boring, duh. I believe that by staying with you, and The Resistance, I might do some exciting things. Plus, I am a pretty knowledgable person. In fact, I could be even called a walking encyclopedia."
Kharaxel sighed.
"Fine. Tomorrow we'll talk about this with the rest of them. If they are fine with you staying, I won't protest."
"Thank you, Kharaxel."
Kharaxel realized that he should go to sleep, but this room had only one small bed, yet there was two of them. Even if The Maiden didn't want to sleep, it would feel rude for him to just doze off again. On the othe hand, he also felt he shouldn't leave her without observation.
"So, miss Maiden..."
"Call me Ephinathesia. And drop the 'miss'"
"Huh?"
"That is my true name."
"I see. So Ephinasthesia it is."
"Do you like it? I came up with it a moment ago."
Kharaxel opened his mouth, and then closed it emitting no sound. He decided to avoid mentioning his complaints about this kind of arragement, and just nodded to show that he likes it.

Tron flew through St. Acidburg. The city was in poor state, and even poorer seemed the mood of the people. He could feel their anger, rage and... fear.
"Oh how I love to take advantage of this... but right now, I have my priorities set."
Landing in small alley near an equally small house, Tron chuckled.
"She's inside... I can sense it."
Not wasting any time, Tron broke into the house, breaking doors down.
(Yeah. Gonna drag this a bit.
This thing with Maiden I gave a lot of consideration before introducing it. Her powers are pretty basic now, she can stil teleport though. But no invisibility and other stuffs. I'll probably write a full description for her and Tron soon.
To summarize, I just want to have a cute girl sidekick/love interest too. Sala does not count, because she's not really in love with Kharaxel, she merely loves to make him suffer.
I'm sorry for being unoriginal. : <)
