《The Fallen Council》IX

I sighed and cleared the sand from my inventory to a shulker box. I had spent the last two hours gathering sand for Sahara and I was starting to get tired. I wanted to get out of the desert and finally get the sand out of my shoes. I picked up the shulker boxes and turned around. My communicator made a buzz and I quickly went through my pockets to find it and check out the message.
Mind coming to the Main HQ
in an hour? We have something
to discuss about the Watchers. (16.32)
(16.33) Alright, I'll be there!
Looked like I had something more to do today. To be honest, Nelle and Evior weren't that bad after all. I was slowly starting to like them more and more. Also many other admins that I had talked with more seemed to be kinda interesting.
It had been a little over month since Oneus had opened the portal. It was now the end of April. Things were going great and Sahara was also going to be opening soon. We hadn't gotten any new glues about Downside-up, but the old reports had given us some small details that might be helpful later.
I sighed and took off my shoes before spreading my elytras and flying to the sky. I really loved flying, even though I still preferred my own wings over the elytras. I felt the cold wind on my face as I raced through the skies. Then the buildings started appearing to my render distance as I came closer to the Sahara Street.
I landed in front of my house and my eyes drifted to a new house that had appeared. I let out a laugh as I realized that Scar had joined our build off! I eyebowled his house and then my own house. Looked like I had to make mine taller.
I spread my elytras and flied to Scar himself. Scar didn't notice me before I poked his shoulder and made him jump.
"AH! OH- Hey Grian.!" He stumbled with words as I had just scared the life out of him.
"Hey Scar!" I smirked to my fellow Hermit.
"What brings you to my new home?" The brunette asked proudly showing his building.
"I just decided to come check out what you're up to," I answered looking around analyzing his build.
"Oh, I just decided to join the build off that was going on over here!" Scar chuckled.
"Mmh, I see. Looks like I'll have to make my house taller now! I'm not going to lose so you better be prepared if you wish to even try to defeat me!" I smirked playfully.
"No, no! I'm going to win this thing and you'll going to lose!" Scar smirked back.
We talked for a bit longer before I excused myself and went back to the house to get prepared for the meeting with Nelle and Evior. I opened the door and saw Sherenidy, Teni and Xenex playing Monopoly. I had no idea where they had gotten that from so I just ignored it. They all just quickly greeted me before continuing the game. I walked to the kitchen where I saw Techno going through the cabinets.

"What are you looking for?" I asked getting the other's attention.
"Potatoes," He answered.
I chuckled. Of course he was looking for potatoes!
"I got a couple of shulker boxes in that chest over there," I said pointing at the small chestmonster under the stairs.
"Uh, Grian, there's more than just one chest," Techno pointed out with a confused look on his face.
"Yes, that's the thing. I don't know which one of the chest they're in," I smirked making the pink haired male sigh.
"I should have seen that coming," He mumbled before walking to the chestmonster.
I chuckled and walked to my room. I quickly put on my white admin cloak and the white bandana I used when I was with the admins. After getting ready I walked back to the living room to face the Monopoly-group. They all turned to me and realized right away what I was doing.
"What is it about?" Sherenidy asked tilting her head.
"Nelle just mention Watchers," I answered running a hand through my hair.
"Mmh, I see," The female hummed.
"Do you think that they have more information about Oneus or Ezohr?" Teni asked with a serious tone in their voice.
"I honestly have no idea. They might have but also the might not have," I said shrugging.
"Getting information about that bastard is not easy, but the admins might be able to do that if they know what they're doing," Xenex spoke out making everyone hum in agreement.
"Well, I have to go find out now," I said taking out my communicator.
"Bye!" Teni waved.
"See ya!" Xenex said giving me a smile.
"Don't die!" Sherenidy smirked.
I typed a command to the communicator and everything started fading around me. Soon I opened my eyes to see The Main HQ in front of me. I quickly hurried to the front door and to the second floor turning right and opening the Prime admins' office's door.
As I stepped into the room, I saw Ozinelle sitting in her chair behind the table, Evior sitting on the ladders that were leaning against the bookcases on the left side of the room and Hypixel sitting on the right couch.
I greeted them all and sat down next to Hypixel. Apparently we were still waiting for Defek and AppleG, who was also surprisingly joining the meeting with us.
Soon the two of them stormed in through the door and sat in front of me and Pixel to the left couch. We all greeted them and started small conversation about the servers' problems before Ozinelle cut it off and started the actual meeting.
"We've found some really important information about the Watchers," She started with a serious tone in her voice.
Everyone was looking at her. I was really curious about this.
"Apparently our spies have found out that they have captured some of us and thrown them to the void," I froze after hearing what she said.

I knew for a fact that they had found my siblings. I sat there totally frozen.
"Were they alive?" Defek asked with seriousness in his voice.
"Apparently they were. 'We couldn't reach them but we saw them,' said the spies," Nelle explained.
"W-were the wearing purple and blue cloaks..?" I managed to ask earning curios glares from the others.
"Yes, the were. At least the spies described them like that," Nelle nodded looking curious.
I was really relieved to hear that they were still alive. I hadn't expected that kind of information when I had stepped to the room. I had to inform the others about this, they had to know too.
"Do you know anything abound these peoples?" Asked Evior snapping me back to the reality.
Now I noticed how everyone was glaring at me with curiosity in their eyes.
"Yes, I know exactly who they are and why they are in the void. I can't really explain the situation but basically it's Oneuses fault and he's up to no good. Meaning that we have to get them out of the void before they die," I spoke out making everyone go speechless.
The silence lasted for a couple of minutes before Evior finally broke it.
"Is there a way to get them out?" He asked moving his glare to Nelle.
"There is, but it requires more information about the void and some powerful Watchers. So unfortunately for us it doesn't seem to be possible," She spoke out shaking her head.
"I see," I mumbled. "But that isn't going to be a problem," I continued making everyone look even more confused.
"What do you mean? We don't have any information about the void and it's going to be totally impossible to find powerful Watchers that will help us!" Nelle sounded really confused.
I had totally ignored her and was already calling Sherenidy to get an answer to one of my questions. I put the call to speaker so everyone could hear her.
"Make it quick, I don't want to lose to these bitches!" Sherenidy answered the phone.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ, you're in speaker so please behave," I sighed.
"Or you'll what? Hit me? I dare you!" Her voice came through my communicator.
"Seriously! Please behave. Shouldn't you be kinda like a role model to everyone btw?" I asked making her go quite for a couple of seconds.
"Nah, it's not that big deal!" She joked.
"Well, I had something I need to ask from you," I said with seriousness in my voice.
"What is it?" Her voice turned more serious now.
"We have books about the void in The Main HQ, right?" I asked.
"Yes, in ᒲᔑ𝙹's room should be a couple of them and then in the library, plus December 2017 reports have some researches we did," The female listed through the phone.
"Great. Can I take the admins to them?" I continued.
"I don't see why not. You can open the doors after all," She answered.
"Alright. And also they should be alive in the void. The admins had found them," I told.
"That's amazing! We'll talk about it more when you get back. Now I have to beat the shit out of these two before they win this fucking game," She said hanging up.
The room was now in total silence. The admins had no idea what that had been about.
"Alright, let's go get some information about the void, shall we?" I asked standing up.
"If you know where then lead the way," Nelle said standing up too.
Evior, Defek, AppleG and Hypixel all agreed to and stood up looking at me.
I started leading them out of the door and to the first hallway. I stopped by he doors trying to remember which one was Mao's. I recognized only my own, Upton's, Kasen's, Chet's, Winslow's and Alden's.
"ᒲᔑ𝙹, ᒲᔑ𝙹, ᒲᔑ𝙹... He's after ꖌᔑᓭᒷリ!" I thought out loud and walked to the 8th door.
"Nope, this is 𝙹ᓭꖌᔑ∷╎'s," I realized before opening it.
I turned around and looked at the 7th door. That had to be Mao's. I noticed that a lot of people were looking at us. I turned to face my group.
"I ask of you to not follow me into the room since it's someone's bedroom and he wouldn't probably appreciate if a lot of people walked in without his permission," I spoke out and shocked everyone by opening the door that was supposed to be locked.
I made my way to his bookcase and found what I was looking for. I quickly made my way out and closed the door behind me.
"XELQUA WHAT THE F-!" Nelle shouted.
Everyone looked extremely shocked. I just smirked and made my way to the offices door.
"There you can come with me. Just please don't make a mess or take the books that you don't need," I said opening the door and letting Nelle, Evior, Defek, AppleG and Hypixel in closing the door behind them.
"Xelqua, you got some explaining to do!" Evior spoke out.
"Definitely! How can you enter the rooms that are supposed to be locked?" Pixel sounded curious and also shocked.
"And what is this whole thing about?" Defek asked, he was totally lost.
"Well, I should start by introducing myself," I smirked and turned to face them.
"I'm ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ, nice to meet you!"
