《The Fallen Council》XII

"In this valley the flowers die before the get a chance to bloom," A boy with emerald green eyes told giving a smirk to the young female crouching next to him.
"Really?! That's crazy!" The female exclaimed looking at the boy with wide eyes, even though the boy couldn't see them.
"Mmh, that's right! It's pretty crazy, but not the craziest thing I've seen!" The boy continued.
"What else have you seen? Tell me!" The female looked into the emerald eyes of the boy with interest in her eyes.
"I have seen a place where everything is dead. The nature, the creatures, even the air feels weird! It's called 'The Dead Valley' and it's really far away," The boy told sounding really excited as he spoke about the place.
"I want to see that!" The female exclaimed and stood up with sparkling eyes.
"Ah, ᒲᔑ𝙹, you told her about the valley, didn't you?" Asked a black haired man, who walked to the duo.
"Maaybe," The boy, Mao, smirked to the older male.
"I want to see that place!" The female excitedly looking into the male's eyes.
The male chuckled as he looked back to her eyes that were hidden behind a mask. He might not have been a Watcher, but he know how to read them.
"Well, looks like we'll have to go there, don't we?" He smiled softly to the younger.
"Really?" She explained eyes sparkling.
"Yeah, we can get there easily. Just don't tell ᔑꖎ↸ᒷリ," The male answered smirking to the last part.
"What about ⨅ᒷリ╎ℸ ̣ ⍑? Are we going to ask him to come with us?" Mao asked tilting his head while running his hand through his brown hair.
The male's face turned cold as he heard the name. He grinned before answering.
"Nah, it's alright. He isn't here so we don't have to worry about him," He answered smirking trying to keep his cool.
Mao hadn't paid enough attention to notice the male's reaction, but the female had. She slightly tilted her head and looked at the male with a bit of worry in her hidden eyes. The male gave her a quick smile showing that it was nothing to worry about.
"Let's go then, shall we?" The male asked smiling.
"Yay! Let's go!" The female was hopping around in excitement, which made the brunette laugh.
"Come on ᓭ⍑ᒷリ! You're a Main Watcher! You should act like one, your being way too childish right now!" He spoke out shaking his head while trying to hold smile and laugh.
"Can't I be a child at least once in my life?" The female joked letting out a laugh.
Mao rolled his eyes while smiling. If he was honest, he really liked it when the female acted like a children. She was still a child and had gone through something horrible. He just wanted to make her happy and give her the love she deserves. He would protect her. He had promised to protect her. She was his new sister after all.
"Which way do we go?" The female asked from the male tilting her head.
"This way, you can follow me," The male smiled to the younger.
"I don't even remember the way, so you better remember it or we're screwed," Mao mentioned laughing.
"Don't you worry, I got this!" The male smirked and started leading the way.
His siblings came right after him, both looking excited. This was going to be an interesting trip.

It took a while but finally they reached the valley they were heading to. The female looked around in amusement. The place was totally dead, everything looked so lifeless and it made the place unique. The whole place was dark and lifeless, the air felt kinda weird too. The female recognized the weird air and let the spell fell off her. She didn't need the spell to help her breath anymore, since the air wasn't like everywhere else in the overworld. The two others in the other hand seemed to be casting the spell around themselves. The air was too weird for them.
"Can you breathe here?" The older male asked tilting his head while looking into the female's eyes.
"Yes, the air is exactly like the air in the Original Nether! I have no trouble breathing at all!" The female exclaimed.
"I honestly had forgotten about that already," Mao admitted running his hand through his brunette hair.
The female turned around to look at the place. All of the trees and bushes, together with the rest of the nature, were dead. The creatures were unique, they were all moving, but they weren't alive. The ground was reddish-green and the grass was brownish. Her hand wandered to the dagger on her waist. It liked this place, the aura was so strange and lifeless. This was the doings of the Nether demons.
"It's really unique, isn't it?" The older male spoke out lookin around.
"Yes, it really is," The female nodded in agreement, she had apparently changed out of the child's firm and was now actually taking things seriously.
"There are many stories about this place and it's history. People have made crazy theories about how this was formed. Most of them involve some kind of Gods or something like that, I don't really know about those," Mao spoke out.
"I see. Well, looks definitely like something the Nether demons would do," The female pointed out looking around.
I slowly opened my eyes as the memory started fading away. I looked around and saw Xelqua, Xenex, Teni, Techno and the admins gathered around the table. I sat up and stretched my arms and wings before standing up and making my way to the table. I recognized the book they were reading right away.
"'The Void Breaker', eh?" I tilted my head getting everyone's attention.
"Look at that! The Main Leader's left hand herself decided to join us!" Xenex smirked.
I just rolled my eyes before looking at the book again. It looked oddly familiar in a weird way. I just couldn't place my finger on it. Then it hit me.
"ᒲ╎リ↸ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹∷ᒲ once used that spell," I spoke out making Xelqua and Xenex froze and the others look at me with confusion.
"What?" Xenex questioned.
"ᒲ╎リ↸ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹∷ᒲ used that spell to get someone out of the void.. I saw it," I spoke out with shock as I started remembering the whole scene.
"Who?" Xelqua asked staring straight into my eyes.
"No… No, no!" I whispered in shock.
Everyone was now starting at me with confusion and uncertainty in their eyes.
"It wasn't.. No, no! NO!" I cried out covering my face with my hands and taking a step back.
"Who was it?" Xelqua asked with seriousness in his voice.
He got a bit startled as I rose my eyes and looked straight into his eyes with my now-empty eyes.

I quickly hurried to the bookcase and went through the report pulling out January 2017 report. I quickly found what I was looking for.
"Today we're going to get our two new members, The Main Watcher Xelqua and The Rookie Watcher Xenex. They are currently in coma in the void, as the Watchers Academy has a habit of getting rid of powerful students that aren't on their side. I have to use The Void Breaker spell to get them here with us. They won't remember anything about the void as they wake up with us. We have to make sure to not let everyone know that we're going to break the rules by freeing people from the place where they're supposed to stay until the day they finally die. But now it's time to go and help out those two poor Watchers. -Amorn Mindstorm Razor."
I closed the book after I had read out the text and moved my glare to the people starting at me with wide eyes and shock. I quietly put the report back to its rightful place before moving back to the table.
"What the..," Xelqua mumble quietly. He was pretty shocked.
"That's what happened," I spoke out quietly.
"So, you're telling us that Xelqua and Xenex have been in the void?" Nelle inquired tilting her head.
I nodded as an answer not saying anything.
"That's definitely something new," Hypixel muttered.
"If ᒲ╎リ↸ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹∷ᒲ was still here he would know how to do the spell," I spoke out quietly with respect.
Everyone silenced for a moment in the memory of the passed Main Admin.
"What are we going to do now?" Defek carefully asked breaking the silence.
"Can we make the spell work? What does it require?" I started asking and took the book.
"I think that it needs some kind of potion," Xelqua spoke out shrugging.
"I see, well, we can make that if we have the ingredients," I answered with my knowledge of the spells and potions.
"There's a long list of those. Does someone knew how to make that?" AppleG tilted his head looking at the book.
"I know almost everything possible about spells and potions," I answered calmly.
"Is there something that you don't know?" Xenex smirked jokingly.
"Redstone is one of those. There's a really long list," I chuckled.
"Redstone is a pain," Techno exclaimed.
"Not really, if you know what you're doing. Apparently I don't know," Xelqua answered smirking.
"That's why we have MumboJumbo and his redstone tutorials," Xenex jokingly added.
"Can you make that potion?" Evior asked trying to look into my eyes.
"I'm pretty sure that it's possible," I answered nodding. "But I can't be the one to finally cast the spell," I spoke out making the others confused.
"What do you mean?" Teni was the first one to ask the question in everyone's minds.
"My magic isn't suitable for that kind of huge spell. It'll kill me if I do so, again. That would be the 3rd time to be exact. And I know for a fact that now isn't my time to make the final move like I did last time," I spoke out smiling calmly.
"Then who can do it?" Evior asked carefully.
"My student, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ, or as you say, The Main Watcher Xelqua," I answered moving my eyes to my student, who was looking at me with wide eyes.
"What do you mean?!" He asked panicking, which made me giggle.
"Now it's your time to shine. I'll let you lead this mission and show me that you really deserve to be my student. I want you to make me proud of you," I spoke while smiling to him. I could notice that he was nervous.
"Are you sure that you want me to lead us.?" Xelqua asked with a bit worry and nervousness in his eyes that were hidden behind the bandana.
"Yes, I have done that already many times. Now it's finally your turn to show me what you got and prove that you're really worth The Main Leader's left hand's student's rank," I gave a warm smile to my student.
"You can do it ̇/ᒷꖎ!" Xenex encouraged him putting his hand on the other's shoulder.
"I don't really fancy leaders, but you're definitely going to be a good one," Techno smirked.
"I trust you. I will follow you," Teni said smiling brightly to their savior.
"The time I've known you, you've always been really fair and an amazing person. If you lead us, I'll definitely follow you!" Nelle smiled to the other Prime.
"Nelle's right! You deserve to lead us," Evior put his hand on Xelqua's another shoulder.
"I'll definitely follow you," Hypixel smirked to his friend.
"Same!" Defek and AppleG spoke out at the same time.
"Thank you all, really," Xelqua didn't really know what to say. He was kinda shocked still.
"Well, do you want to lead this mission?" I smirked to him.
"Yes. I won't disappoint you, my mentor," Xelqua said smiling to me.
"Amazing! Now, what are we going to do?" I asked smiling.
"We need to start collecting the ingredients for the potion and find as much information as we possibly can," Xelqua spoke out changing to his serious voice.
I watched as he told everyone what to do. I was really proud of my student for finally starting to spread his own wings. He really needed to actually lead a group on his own if he was going to be the Main Leader's left hand someday. I remembered slightly the way Zenith had treated me, it disgusted me. I couldn't ever treat Xelqua like Zenith did to me. I honestly felt like Mindstorm had been my mentor more than my actual mentor, who only wanted my help with his revenge.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ," I was snapped back from my thoughts as I heard Xelqua calling my name. I turned around to face him.
"Yeah?"
"Can I also give you a mission?"
"Of course! You're the leader right now!"
"Well, can you go look through the medical center to see if there's something we need?"
I chuckled to the order that sounded more like a question. I sighed and looked into the dirty blonde's eyes.
"Yes, I'll go do that," I smiled and stared walking towards the door.
"Wait ᓭ⍑ᒷリ," Xelqua made me stop and turn around.
"Yeah?" I tilted my head.
"Thank you, really, thank you ᓭ⍑ᒷリ," He spoke out.
"Haha, everything for my brother!" I chuckled before giving him a smile.
I felt, no, I knew that this mission was going to be successful!

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
