What went wrong? Why did it all go so wrong? Why can’t I … Lexx’s folded canopy of wings slid down past his shoulders and he stared across the empty room. There was a long window on that side of the wall that looked out into nothing but empty space. Lexx shivered. Why was he [...]
Zaile leaned against the balcony railing. It was all so crude and unfinished. This place wasn’t what he was accustomed to. It was dirty and stank of the surrounding ocean. The air was thick and damp and his clothing was sticking uncomfortably to his skin. What am I doing here? Zaile asked himself. Lexx isn’t [...]
“I am just looking for Chel…” said Lexx. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Zaile. “I believe Riley took the humans to their rooms.” Zaile responded cordially. Lexx spun around, intending to get away from him as soon as he could. He didn’t want to know why he was here. Lexx just wanted him to [...]
“Look, I have enough on me right now without you attacking me again.” Lexx growled. Zaile could be easily dismissed. Zaile had made it clear that Lexx was not someone he wanted anything to do with and Lexx was returning the sentiment. “You’re such an idiot!” Zaile exploded. It was the only thing on his [...]

He hoped that by asking, he would be offered some of whatever was in there. “Just clothes, toothbrush, deodorant and my netbook.” Keith rattled off a list of the basic essentials. He didn’t have anything special in his bag. “What’s a netbook?” [...]
“I’m back …” Lexx’s familiar voice tentatively reached out over the relay. “I’m glad you’re back,” Chel quickly opened up to him. It was a welcome diversion. “But stop talking to me over the relay, okay? I don’t want my father getting the wrong idea when you walk in here.” She was relieved that he [...]
“I will be a perfect gentleman … I’ve been trained as such.” Lexx smiled and spoke in a sweeter tone. “I know, just keep your hands and eyes off of me or my dad is going to be asking me unnecessary embarrassing questions that I do not want to hear come out of his mouth.” [...]
