Huskys POV:
We left as early as possible, before dawn. The Breakfast Brigade left a few hours before us with Seto, they were going to make a parkour map in memory of Sausage Samurai. Crainer had gone home, but he came back in less than thirty minutes with his backpack, and he insisted to come with us. The low lying morining fog swirled around our feet as though it was water. I glanced up at the moon that was starting to set. I found it a little odd, the moon was a light shade of blue. Barney followed my gaze, I wonder if he saw it. I looked at Herobrine, who was muttering every few seconds, as though he was having a conversation with someone, probably Noroi. I heard a twig break to the left, and froze. Whoever was moving in the bushes also froze, as though they were trying to hide. The others looked at me confused, but I glanced over to the left, seeing the blue metal of a soldier squid uniform. I moved my arm up as though I was stretching, since the squid was watching, and quickly grabbed one of my daggers, throwing it into the bushes. I heard a clang, and the squid toppled over and out of the bushes, dead. I had hit it between the folds of its armor. I smiled, it was a lucky shot.
"Is that blood?" Asked Jason, and I took a closer look at the squid. It had partly dried blood on the axe and itself. If it was the blood of a mob or cow It would be fine, but it was the blood of a human. I could tell, I've seen it so much. I leaned forward, seeing that it was still alive, looking at me with half lidded eyes.
"H-Husk...y?" I knew this squid, but he wasn't innocent at all. He was the one to make me like this. "Why are you-" I cut him off.
"Such a cliche question...sir." I added the last part with hate filling my voice. "Did you know your little expirements will either die or betray you?" Horror flashed across his face. He didn't know Dell was dead.
"H-How?" I smiled, starting to shake from how much I wanted to kill this squid right this second.
"I killed her." I said that louder than expected, but then I grabbed my cleaver. "Because of you, I killed my old friend. You ruined us, using us a puppets...I'm surprised you even care..." I raised it in the air. "Time to die now, sir." I brought it down hard, breaking the armor and cutting the squid nearly in half, killing him completely. I looked over at Sky, sighing. "Looks like we need to check around to see if anyone is hurt. Sorry if it took a little bit to kill the squid off, I wanted him to know what he did." To my surprise, the squid started to dissapear.
"What!?" All of us exclaimed at the same time. It was respawning? What kind of black magic do they possess? Hero spoke up.
"Noroi said that it wasn't completely squid, probably why it respawned." Did he befriend it? "He also said for all of you to go to the Nether and die in a pit of lava, including me." Nope.
Mystery POV that isn't really a mystery:
I sighed, coughing up blood some. That squid really did a number on me with that axe. How dare it attack when I was asleep, I'm a heavy sleeper. I think one of my ribs punctured a lung, with how every breath hurt. I was laying on the ground, watching Simon clean out his wings. I don't know why he sleeps in trees if he has to pick twigs out of his wings every day. I stood, walking over to help remove the extra leaves.
"I can clean my wings myself." Simon pouted like a child, and I laughed a little, even though it hurt.
"Tsk Tsk Simon, you know you tend to miss so many things that could cut you during flight." His feathers were soft, and most of them were raven black. There were a few white splotches here and there, and I can't help but feel quilty for being the cause of his wings loosing so much purity. He was a Fallen Angel. He was friends with me, which is apparently forbidden for Angels. Because of the absurd reason he was cast out, his wings kept some purity. We were lucky they didn't start to decay over time like most Fallen Wings. I handed him his coat when I couldn't see anymore leaves or twigs. It was made by miss mermaid herself. It cusioned his wings any time he falls on his back. The second he put it on, Ross entered the clearing. He stopped in his tracks, probably surprised to see the state I was in. One thing came to my mind to try and ease the obvious worry on his face.
"Yo."
Ross' POV:
I gasped at how Bodil looked. His glasses were badly broken, although he was still wearing them. His arm was wrapped around his chest, obvious blood dripping from under it. His bright orange eyes were more scarlet, and his smirk was a little creepy. Before I could ask what happened, he spoke up.
"Yo."
"Seriously, your hurt and all you can say is yo? Don't even say thats redstone, there is no way you can trick me about that. What even happened?" He sighed in defeat.
"A squid tried chopping my chest in with an axe while I was asleep. I scared it off though, but it got a good hit on my ribs." He coughed a little, blood seeping from his mouth. Herobrine suddenly appeared in front of him, making Bodil scream in surprise.
"Shut up and hold still." Symbols floated around him, meaning he had started a healing spell. Blue also surrounded Bodil. When the blood had stopped, Hero ended the spell.
"Why the fudge did you scare me like that?" Bodil demanded. Hero shrugged as though he didn't know.
"I had to heal your wounds, which wouldn't have gotten better if I hadn't." He then smiled evily, turning his eyes human and walking back to the group. "Besides, I wanted to see if you'd scream like a girl if I scared you. I guess I was right." Bodil growled.
"You little bas-" Simon laughed nervously, covering Bodils mouth with his hand.
"What my friend here means, is thank you." Sky spoke up.
"What brings you two here?" Bodil got out of Simons grasp.
"Well, we knew about the artificial deamon within Herobrine, and we want to help solve that problem." What?
"Do you know how to get rid of it?" Asked Barney, and Simon nodded.
"We have an idea that might work." Simon Began. "As you probably don't know, but Bodil and I are not human." I gasped in shock, how were they not human? Bodil continued for Simon.
"You see, we don't even come from this dimension. Simon here is a Fallen Ang-" Deadlox interrupted him.
"A Fallen Angel? I thought they never survived the fall and even if they did, they act like zombies." Bodil sighed. Annoyed from being interrupted.
"Exactly Prince Enderlox." How did he know that? "Now let me finish. Simon is a Fallen Angel, but he was casted out for the stupidest reason ever. Its why his wings still have purity and why he didn't perish from the fall. He was-" Deadlox spoke again.
"Why was he thrown out?" Bodil glared at him.
"I will blow you up with TNT, I swear. Anyways, He was thrown out because of me. He is my friend, and Angels don't like that." Deadlox smirked.
"How don't they-" This time Bodil cut him off.
"I wont tell you if you interrupt me again. The Angels didn't like that because I'm a dea-" This time Deadlox didn't cut him off, it was a splash potion thrown onto the ground near us, instantly covering the area in a thick smog. I couldn't breathe, not even trying to cover my mouth and nose with my shirt sleeve seemed to work. My vision darkened when I saw a squid enter the clearing, throwing another one onto the ground.
Bodils POV:
I woke up quickly, looking around at my surroundings. We were in a dark room, with only a lantern on top of the table across the room. The walls were covered in cracks and moss, suggesting that we were underground in an old dungeon. I looked over at the others, who were all tied up, but only my hands were tied. I went to stand, but the door opened. I instantly felt weaker, whoever was on the other side of the door, they had something that can make deamons weak. A soldier entered, but not a normal one, his skin was slightly blue, meaning this person was a squid. The soldier took one look at me, smiled, and started to walk over. I would have stood and attacked just then, but whatever he had, it was strong enough to keep me too weak to stand as he neared. I growled, flashing my sharp teeth at him, but he only smiled wider, not scared of a bite.
"How nice to have one of your kind here." He took something from his jacket, and I gasped at what he had. It was an ancient symbol on a pure golden chain. I gulped, those things were made to kill, not weaken, deamons. I noticed he was going to put it around my neck, and I somehow found the strength and kicked him in his face hard enough to make him fall back. He clutched his face in pain, and I tried to stand again, only to fail.
"Fudging talisman." I growled, gaining a laugh from the soldier.
"Such a strong deamon you are, Martin~." I froze. This was bad, very very bad. How did he know my deamon name? No human was susposed to know it. A person could control a deamon if they were stronger than it and knew its name. And with how weak that tailsman makes me, this isn't a good thing. "Stand up Martin." It said sweetly, and I growled as I couldn't fight his command. "Now Martin, show these friends of yours your power." What? I moved jerkily to look at him, fighting with all I had to not do what he said.
"Why...are you..." He snarled.
"Now!" My black magic started to swirl around me, and I cursed in my head. My pupils became slits as my eyes turned red. My hands became black claws and my skin turned grey as I looked at the ground. A sudden thought came to my head, and I didn't like it.
"You...better not use me to...kill them." Again, he laughed.
"I might make you kill your friends. Your a puppet to me when I have this little trinket." He held it up to my face, making me fall from the weakness. I may be one of the strongest, but there was nothing I could do to stop this madman. "Why do you even care, they are nothing more but prey to your kind." Again, laughter filled the room. I yelled at the squid soldier.
"I don't know how you gained such a powerful talisman, but I don't care. I'd rather die than kill my friends!" He scowled.
"You have no choice, so shut up Martin." My mouth shut on its own. I looked at everyone, who had worried or horrified looks on their faces, including Simon. We locked eyes, and I tilted my head towards the soldier slightly, and he nodded, getting the idea. His face turned cold as he spoke up, his voice unfaltering.
"Stand up Martin." I found the strenght to do so. The commands of an Angel, Fallen or not, was stronger than anyone. He sat straight, grinning at the soldier widely. "Now Martin, be a dear and end this poor suckers life."
Howdy, FAN here. Silver Gamer and Burning EMber, I apologize for taking so long. We are moving soon, and that means I don't have long to write. Also Insane-Discord, you were completely correct about Bodil being the mystery character, you get three smiley cookies :) :) :). Over the past while, I have rewritten this chapter probably a million times, until today. I found something you guys should check out, its called Law of Talos, and if you already know what it is, who is your favorite character from it? I was randomly going through AMVs and found one with the Law of Talos. I don't know why, but now I want to animate something, even though I have NO animation stuff. Also, my older sister wants to be a character in the story named Idal (Short for I-Draw-A lot-Love), but its up to you. She wants to be an important character, and if you want to know what her minecraft character looks like, I'll be uploading a picture on my Deviantart. If you don't want her to be in the story, let me know. Have a good day and have some cookies! (::) (::) (::) (::)
