《The Fallen Council》XVI
Advertisement
I opened my eyes to see the white medical center. I blinked a bit and tried to sit up, but a hand held me down.
"Careful, careful!" The person hummed.
I looked at the person and tried to make out their outlines, my vision was kinda blurry. I noted that they had blonde hair and a light blue cloak. She was The Lead Watcher Haylie and I was in the medical center.
"How are you feeling?" She asked smiling, at least I thought she was smiling.
"A little weird, my vision is blurry and I can't feel my left arm," I managed to explain.
"I see," She hummed and made me drink some kind of potion. "Better?"
I nodded slightly as the potion made me feel better.
"The spell worked, right?" I asked carefully as my vision started coming back.
"Mmh, it's been three days since we came back. ̇/ᒷリ already woke up around two days ago, but ᓭ⍑ᒷリ is still unconscious," Haylie explained.
"What about the Mains? And the admins and Teni and Techno?" I asked quickly.
"The Mains and Leads are all alright. Our visitors are also fine and we even have plans for them," Haylie started calmly.
"What kind of plans?" I asked tilting my head.
"We need new Mains and Leads. ̇/ᒷリ and Hypixel will become Mains, since they've both proven their skills. And Evior, Ozinelle, Defek7 and AppleG will become Leads, they've proven their skills too," The nurse explained. "Teni and Techno want to go back to The Original Nether since they are both in exile," She continued and I nodded.
"Alright," I hummed.
Haylie turned her head and listened for a while until turning back to me.
"ᒲᔑ𝙹 and ⋮ᔑ||ꖎᒷᒷ are waiting outside," She said. "I'll go see what they're up to," She continued and quickly made her way through the curtains disappearing from my sight.
I turned to look at my numb left arm, it looked a little weird. I have to ask Haylie about it when she gets back. I started examining if I had any wounds, but didn't found anything else than a cut in my left arm.
Soon the curtain was opened and Haylie stepped in closing it behind her. She sat down next to the bed and smiled for me.
"They want to see you, but I told them to wait a little," She explained. "Now, do you have any questions?" She asked running a hand through her blonde hair.
"Actually I do have one question," I nodded. "What happened to my left arm?" I asked tilting my head.
"Ah, the demonic magic had a little side effect. But don't worry, it's not such a big deal!" She smiled with a little pity in her voice.

"Alright, I trust you. What kind of side effect?" I asked calmly. I was prepared for everything knowing that it was alright anyways.
"Well, the magic basically killed everything inside the flesh, but ↸ᒷ ̇/ already made you a metallic-arm that's inside the flesh," Haylie explained. "It might feel a bit weird, but you'll hopefully get used to it soon!" She continued smiling cheerfully.
"Alright, I get it," I nodded calmly.
"You have to take a month off from The Mains work, but I can let you back to Hermitcraft tomorrow so the Hermits won't start worrying about you. You just have to remember to take it easy and be careful," The blonde nurse spoke out.
"I try to remember that," I grinned, which made the blonde chuckle slightly.
"You better remember it!" She sighed. "Now, is it okay if I let ᒲᔑ𝙹 and ⋮ᔑ||ꖎᒷᒷ here?" She tilted her head and stood up.
"Yeah," I nodded.
Haylie nodded in return and quickly but gracefully sneaked through the curtain. Soon she opened it again letting Mao and Jaylee in. She gave us all a smile before closing the curtain and leaving us alone.
"How are you feeling brother?" Jaylee asked sitting down next to the bed.
"A little weird, but the potions are making me feel better," I answered after thinking a little.
"Great, I bet that ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ already told you about our plans for the admins, who remember the past couple of months," Mao spoke out running a hand through his brunette hair.
"Yeah, she did tell me," I nodded.
"Great," Mao nodded.
"If we're going to a war against Oneus, we'll need more Mains and Leads. It's going to be helpful to have 15 Mains as we originally had, but also 15 Leads is going to be a great addition," Jaylee spoke out.
"That's right," I nodded. "What about the Rookies?"
"We currently have 5 Rookies, but we have to redo the trials soon. We were talking about having also 15 Rookies," Mao explained.
"That sounds good," I said nodding.
"Our schedule is kinda tight right now, so the trials will have to wait until you and that Nether mess from there," Mao pointed behind him. "Are allowed to do stuff," He spoke out.
"Also we have to be prepared for attacks that Oneus might do," Jaylee added.
"Definitely, I know for a fact that Zanax, who might be in a really high position, isn't that kind of person who likes to wait until they attack," I spoke out with slight seriousness in my voice.
"That's definitely correct," Mao grinned.

"Now, we maybe should leave you to rest. You are still injured and definitely need a lot of rest," Jaylee smiled and run her hand through my hair.
"⋮ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ's right," Mao smiled.
Jaylee let out an aggressive growl as a warning to the other, but Mao didn't seem to care.
"Bye guys!" I smiled as they walked through the curtain leaving me to rest alone.
I glared at the gaged female. She was sitting in the corner and stared at me.
"᭙ꫝꪖꪻ ꠸ᦓ ꪗꪮꪊ᥅ ρ᥅ꪮ᥇ꪶꫀꪑ?" I asked with Ancient Original Nether Language that the Watchers from the Far lands spoke.
"ᥴꪖꪀ'ꪻ ꪗꪮꪊ ꪶꫀꪻ ꪑꫀ ᧁꪮ?" She sang.
"ᧁ꠸ꪜꫀ ꪑꫀ ꪮꪀꫀ ᧁꪮꪮᦔ ᥅ꫀꪖᦓꪮꪀ ꪻꪮ ꪶꫀꪻ ꪗꪮꪊ ᧁꪮ!" I grinned.
"꠸ ꫝꪖꪜꫀꪀ'ꪻ ᦔꪮꪀꫀ ꪖꪀꪗꪻꫝ꠸ꪀᧁ ᭙᥅ꪮꪀᧁ ꪖꪀᦔ ꠸ ꫝꪖꪜꫀ ꪖ ᠻꪖꪑ꠸ꪶꪗ ꪻꫝꪖꪻ ꪑ꠸ᦓᦓꫀᦓ ꪑꫀ!" She answered.
"꠸ ᦔꪮꪀ'ꪻ ꪻꫝ꠸ꪀᛕ ꪻꫝꪖꪻ ꪖꪀꪗꪮꪀꫀ ᭙ꪮꪊꪶᦔ ꪑ꠸ᦓᦓ ꪖ ᥇꠸ꪻᥴꫝ ꪶ꠸ᛕꫀ ꪗꪮꪊ!" I spat making her groan.
"ꪑꪗ ᥇ꪮꪗᠻ᥅꠸ꫀꪀᦔ ꪑ꠸ᦓᦓꫀᦓ ꪑꫀ! ꫝꫀ ᥅ꫀꪖꪶꪶꪗ ꪶꪮꪜꫀᦓ ꪑꫀ ꪖꪀᦔ ꠸ᦓ ρ᥅ꪮ᥇ꪖ᥇ꪶꪗ ᭙ꪮ᥅᥅꠸ꫀᦔ ᦓ꠸ᥴᛕ!" The prisoner tried.

"ꪻꫝꪖꪻ'ᦓ ꪀꪮꪻ ꪻ᥅ꪊꫀ! ꪗꪮꪊ ᥇꠸ꪻᥴꫝ!" She screamed.
I rolled my eyes and stepped forward.
"ꪗꪮꪊ ꫝꪖꪜꫀ ꪀꪮ ᥅꠸ᧁꫝꪻᦓ ꪻꪮ ᥴꪖꪶꪶ ꪑꫀ ꪖ ᥇꠸ꪻᥴꫝ, ᧁꪖᧁꫀ ᥇꠸᥅ᦔ!" I exclaimed and made her shut up. "꠸ ᦔꪮꪀ'ꪻ ᧁ꠸ꪜꫀ ꪖ ᦓꫝ꠸ꪻ ꪖ᥇ꪮꪊꪻ ꪗꪮꪊ,
ꪊꪀᦔꫀ᥅ᦓꪻꪮꪮᦔ?" I snapped at her.
She muttered something and then turned her back to me. I rolled my eyes and went to the chair on the other side of the small hallway in front of the prison cells.
I heard the door open and saw a red haired male with a Watcher mask walk down the stairs. He stopped and leaned against the wall glaring into the cell.
"How is it down here with that thing?" He asked running a hand through his hair.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷ ∴ᔑᓭ ⋮⚍ᓭℸ ̣ ʖᒷ╎リ⊣ ᔑリリ𝙹||╎リ⊣," I groaned eyebowling the prisoner.
"I can believe that," The male sighed.
"ᓭ𝙹, ℸ ̣ ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹リ, ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ʖ∷╎リ⊣ᓭ ||𝙹⚍ ↸𝙹∴リ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ?" I tilt my head.
"ᒷ↸↸╎ᒷ told me to come and keep your company since that thing might be a bit annoying," He answered.
"ᔑꖎ∷╎⊣⍑ℸ," I nod.
"So, Kira Fang is her name? Age is 20 and birthplace Far lands?" Tatton asked tilting his head.
"ᓵ𝙹∷∷ᒷᓵℸ ̣," I answered glaring at her.
"Do we have any plans for her?" The male asked moving his eyes to her.
"リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ||ᒷℸ ̣ , ʖ⚍ℸ ̣ ╎ℸ ̣ 'ᓭ !¡𝙹ᓭᓭ╎ʖꖎᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᓭ⍑ᒷ ᒲ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ ᒷリ↸ ⚍!¡ ꖎ𝙹ᓭ╎リ⊣ ⍑ᒷ∷ ꖎ╎⎓ᒷ," I smirk.
Kira turns around quickly and we can see that she's horrified. She didn't expect that we would kill her.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU CAN'T KILL ME! I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG!" She screamed. Now we could clearly hear the fear from her voice.
"ℸ ̣ 𝙹𝙹 ʖᔑ↸, ⊣ᔑ⊣ᒷ ʖ╎∷↸!" I giggled.
"It's not really our choice, but we don't have anything against killing you," Tatton smirked.
"YOU CAN'T KILL ME! I HAVE A FAMILY THAT CARES FOR ME! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! YOU CAN'T DO IT FOR ME!" She screamed and banged the iron bars while tears fell down on her face.
"ꖎ𝙹𝙹ꖌ ᔑℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ !¡∷ᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ || ꖎ╎ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ꖎᒷ ⎓ᔑᓵᒷ!~" I giggled. "ᓭ⍑ᒷ ╎ᓭリ'ℸ ̣ ᓭ𝙹 ʖ∷ᔑ⍊ᒷ ᔑ⎓ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ᔑꖎꖎ!" I smirked.
"Next time choose your side better," Tatton spoke with obvious fake pity in his voice. "Oh wait! You won't have that 'Next time'!" He smirked.
"NO! NO! NO! I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW! I PROMISE! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" Kira was now screaming her lungs out.
BONK
Now she was laying limp on the ground.
"You really didn't have to knock her out, you know?" Tatton groaned.
"╎ ꖌリ𝙹∴, ʖ⚍ℸ ̣ ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ𝙹リᒷ ᒲ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷᔑ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᓭᓵ∷ᒷᔑᒲ╎リ⊣ ᔑリ↸ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ᓭ⚍ᓭ!¡╎ᓵ╎𝙹⚍ᓭ," I sighed.
"Ugh, I guess you're right," The male muttered running a hand through his hair.
"ᓵᔑリ ||𝙹⚍ ⊣𝙹 ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ꖌᔑᓭᒷリ? 𝙹⚍∷ ⊣ᔑ⊣ᒷ ʖ╎∷↸ ᒲ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ リᒷᒷ↸ ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷℸ ̣ ⍑╎リ⊣ ᓭℸ ̣ ∷𝙹リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓵᔑꖎᒲ ⍑ᒷ∷ ↸𝙹∴リ ᔑ⎓ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹ℸ ̣ ᔑꖎ ᒲᒷリℸ ̣ ᔑꖎ ʖ∷ᒷᔑꖌ↸𝙹∴リ," I spoke out.
"Alright, I'll be back soon," He nodded and disappeared up the stairs.
My eyes drifted back to the prisoner laying limp on the ground. She was definitely going to be useful for us after all. We just have to pull the right strings and soon she'll be our little puppet!
I smirk as I look at her and quickly make my way to the iron bars. I let my hand ran through her snow white hair that is now stained with her own blood and whisper,
"ᓭ𝙹𝙹リ ᔑꖎꖎ 𝙹⎓ ||𝙹⚍∷ !¡ᔑ╎リ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ʖᒷ 𝙹⍊ᒷ∷ ᔑリ↸ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∷ᒷᔑꖎ リ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ ᒲᔑ∷ᒷ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑ∷ℸ ̣ , ꖎ╎ℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ꖎᒷ ⊣ᔑ⊣ᒷ ʖ╎∷↸!"

So she would be useful, she would be obedient, and she would survive. Under the control of the new rulers of her world and species, as a pawn in a conflict she could scarce comprehend, she would survive. And in this cosmic war of forces beyond her understanding, when all that is known is stripped away, survival is not just everything; it is all there is left.[Winner during the Royal Road Writathon Challenge Fall 2021](( Chapters are 5,500 words on average.
