《The Fallen Council》XVII
Advertisement
I stood in front of Kira Fang with Godiva and Oskari behind me. Tears were falling down on her face as she looked into my eyes with her ruby eyes that were now teary and full of fear and regret. She had purple chains that hanged her on the wall from her wrists.
"Tell us everything you know about Zanax and her plans," I spoke out coldly as I crouch down next to her and place my finger under her chin to get better look at her eyes.
"I-I don't k-know much..! B-but s-she wanted to k-kill a-all of T-the Mains and Leads a-and she is a-apparently totally f-falling for O-oneus and w-would do anything f-for him..!" Kira cried out trembling with some of the words.
"!¡ᔑℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷℸ ̣ ╎ᓵ! ∴⍑𝙹 ∴𝙹⚍ꖎ↸ ∴ᔑリℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ꖎ𝙹⍊ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ʖᔑᓭℸ ̣ ᔑ∷↸ ᓵᔑꖎꖎᒷ↸ 𝙹リᒷ⚍ᓭ?" I heard Godiva groan behind me.
I raised my left hand to shut her up and looked into the prisoners eyes. She was telling the truth.
"What else do you know, little gage bird?" I asked.
"I-I don't know a-anything else! S-she didn't t-tell me anything e-else..!" Our gage bird cried, she was getting hopeless.
"Tsk, looks like she doesn't have any more information. Let's go," I say standing up.
Godiva and Oskari follow me to the door.
"Wait! W-what about m-me..?" Kira shouts as we're about to leave the place.
"What about you?" I ask coldly tilting my head.
"Y-you aren't g-going to l-leave me here alone with t-these c-chains..? A-aren't y-you..?" She asked carefully with pure fear in her eyes.
"What else would I do to you?" I groan and walk out of the door.
Godiva shuts the lights and closes the door leaving the poor little gage bird all alone in the darkness. Luckily the door is soundproof so no one can hear her screaming.
We make it up the stairs and I turn to face the two Watchers.
"Alright, 𝙹ꖎ╎ you can go see how ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ is doing," I start. "And ᓵ𝙹↸," I smirk.
"↸╎↸ ||𝙹⚍ ⋮⚍ᓭℸ ̣ ᓵᔑꖎꖎ ᒲᒷ ᔑ ⎓∷╎ᓵꖌ╎リ⊣ ᓵ𝙹↸?!" Godiva shouted.
"Yes, yes I did," I answered while smirking innocently. I can also notice that Oskari is trying not to laugh, and is definitely having hard time with it.
"So, ᓵ𝙹↸ you can go see if ᒷ↸↸╎ᒷ and ꖌᔑᓭ need any help with their work," I finish, still smirking at the Watcher's new nickname.
The raven haired female Watcher muttered something as walked away. I moved my glare to the male next to me.
"Do you want to come with me to see if ᓭ⍑ᒷリ is awake yet?" He asked running a hand through his black hair.
"Yeah, I actually could do that," I shrugged nodding and we started heading towards the medical center.
I was finally back in Hermitcraft after a couple of long days. All of the Hermits had been worried about me since I had kinda just disappeared for a short while.
"Hey Grian!" I heard someone call my name and turned around to Tango standing behind me leaning against my wall.
"Oh, hey Tango! What brings you here?" I gave a smile to the blonde male.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing. We were all worried about you, you know," He explained running a hand through his blonde hair.
"Right, I'm sorry about making you all worry about me," I gave him an apologizing smile.
"It doesn't matter anymore. We know that your safe and alright," Tango spoke out and ruffled my hair.
"I try not to do that again," I chuckle as the other ruffles my hair.
"Well, what are you up to with your house?" Tango asked looking at my 1.14 house.
"I need to continue making it taller, I don't want to lose the build off!" I smirk.
"I can totally believe that," He chuckled.
"I just have to figure out how to make taller and actually still look good," I sighed.
"I think that the design is incredible!" Tango said looking at the building.
"Yep, it's actually designed by some who was really close to me," I smiled slightly as I looked at the building.
"Looks like your friend is an amazing designer," The blonde said still analyzing the building with his red eyes.
"She definitely was. This isn't even her best work," I now smiled proudly.
"Oh shoot! I just realized that I have to go meet with Impulse and Zedaph!" Tango exclaimed as he looked at his communicator.
"Then you should go," I smiled at him.
"Well, see you later then! Bye, stay safe!" Tango exclaimed as he took off with his elytras.
"Bye, see you!" I waved as I watched him fly away to the distance.
Then I turn around and take out my communicator. I hadn't gotten any new messages from anyone. Right now I was just waiting for Haylie to tell me that Sherenidy has woken up, because I was starting to get worried about her. Also The Mains were now really busy with everything since they had missed a couple of months.
I sighed and raised my glare from my communicator. I didn't really know what to do so I decided to go gather stock for Sahara. Collecting sand and gravel was always a great way to kill some time.
I carefully opened my eyes to see the white ceiling and curtains. The medical center. I recognized the place right away. The curtains were opened and the blonde nurse gracefully sneaked through them. She gave me smile and sat down next to my bed.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked.
"A little weird," I answered as I try to figure out what happened.
"You might be feeling a little weird and that's totally understandable. You, ̇/ᒷリ and ̇/ᒷꖎ managed to get us out of the void a couple of days ago," Haylie smiled and carefully ran a hand through my hair.
"Ah, so that actually worked?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Yep, ̇/ᒷリ and ̇/ᒷꖎ already woke up a few days ago and they're both perfectly fine," She explained still continuing to carefully ruffle my hair.
"I see. What about The Mains and The Leads?" I asked.
"Everyone is perfectly fine. We also decided that ̇/ᒷリ and Hypixel will become Mains and Evior, Ozinelle, Defek7 and AppleG will become Leads," Haylie continued to explain the situation.

"Alright," I nodded. "What about Kira Fang?" I grinned as I said her name.
"Ah, ᒲᔑ𝙹, ⊣𝙹↸╎⍊ᔑ and 𝙹ᓭꖌᔑ∷╎ threated her this morning. She's so pathetic! I suggested that we should kill her before someone decides to track her down," Haylie groaned.
"Mmh, I can't really do anything about that right now, but I know that ᒲᔑ𝙹 won't let her live any longer than we need her," I answered.
"I guess that you're right.," The nurse muttered. "I'm just tired of pretending to be weak! We could easily just kill Oneus and continue everything normally!" She snapped.
"We have to keep pretending so our people trust us. But Oneus is definitely in our way, really badly. Soon we'll have to get rid of him anyways so we can continue ruling everything," I spoke out with seriousness in my voice.
Haylie sighed, "I understand."
"Good," I nodded.
"Now, you should continue resting," The blonde smiles and runs a hand through my hair once more before standing up.
She disappeared gracefully through the curtain and soon came back with a potion. She made me drink it and then left again leaving me alone in the room.
'Welp, at least the plan worked,' I thought.
My eyes wondered through the room. I was looking for my blue cloak. It was the cloak I was supposed to be wearing since I was a Lead Watcher. I always took it off when I was working on something, Alden doesn't really appreciate when I do that.
Soon I found the cloak, it was hiding under my workshop's doormat, I wonder how it had gotten there.
I put my gloved hand on the metallic door handle and stepped out of my workshop. I took out my communicator and checked the messages.
Salve Dexy!
I noticed that the Portal Hub's
Teleporting console #5 is broken!
I thought that I would tell it to you
Since you're our mechanic!
Te videre! (16.39)
Dexter
(16.54) Thanks Leslie! I'll go fix that
immediately! See ya!
I put the communicator back to my pocket and started heading towards the Portal Hub. I made my way through The Main HQ and stepped outside feeling the cold wind on my face. I walked to the Portal Hub not paying attention to the stares I got from the players, who were excitedly taking pictures of me like it was really rare to see one of The Leads or Mains outside of the HQ.
I stopped in front of the console and pulled out my tool box. The console seemed to be mostly fine, this shouldn't take many hours. I started working ignoring the players walking past me. I could hear some of the girls giggle and say something like 'He's really cute!' or 'You should ask his number!', which was pretty annoying. The Council members didn't really care about relationships, mostly because we absolutely didn't have any time for them.
I had been working on the console for around half an hour when I heard something that made me actually turn around and look.
"HEY! STOP TAKING PICTURES OF THE LEAD WATCHER! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HE'S BUSY WORKING?!"
There was standing a dirty blonde male wearing a green hoodie and a white smiley-mask. I recognized him immediately. He was an admin called Dream, the admin of Dream smp. I didn't really know much about him, but I knew that his server was pretty popular.
He noticed my curious stare and turned around. He gave me a smirk before walking to me.
"Hey, Lead Watcher Dexter, am I right?" He tilted his head sticking his hands to his pockets.
"That's correct and you are Dream," I answered.
"Yep!" He smirked. "I noticed that the players that were passing by took pictures of you without your permission, so I decided to step in," He explained.
"That's very kind of you," I smiled.
"Mind if I stay with you for a while to make sure they don't do that when you're working?" He asked.
"If you have time, I would really appreciate that," I admitted nodding.
"Great!" He exclaimed and squatted down next to me, since I was still sitting on the floor.
"Your server is Dream smp, right?" I ask from him even though I already knew the answer.
"Yep! I assume that you don't have a server on your own since you're a Watcher?" He assumed tilting his head.
"Mmh, I don't have one. I'm also not settled in any server, I like to just help with servers that need help," I explained.
"I see," Dream nodded. "You are the mechanic of The Council, aren't you?" He continued.
"Yep, as you can see I'm right now fixing this teleporting console," I answered showing the console.
"That looks really complicated," He said.
"It definitely is," I admitted grinning.
"HEY! DON'T TAKE PICTURES WITHOUT PERMISSION!" Dream shouted to a small group that had tried to take a picture.
"I always try to ignore when people do that, but it's definitely annoying," I admit as I connect two wires together.
"I can definitely believe that. Some of the players are definitely selfish when they think that they can just take pictures of others just because they're famous!" Dream groaned a he eyebowled a group that kept staring at us.
"That's why some of the people want to become Rookies. They want people to think that they're better than others," I muttered.
"Do you think that I would make an actually good Rookie?" Dream asked. I would have been surprised but I knew that he was already on the list so I had been prepared.
"I think that you could try the trials and have a big chance of passing them," I answered.
"What? Really?" He sounded surprised.
"Yep, I suggest trying out!" I looked at him smiling.
I could see that he was really excited, even though he tried to hide it. He was wearing a mask, but I still could read his face, I was a Watcher after all. The Watchers knew how to read faces behind a mask since we wore masks too all the time.
"Well, I think that I might actually do that," He smirked.
"Mmh, we really need good Rookies," I smiled to him.
'And you would be perfect for our plans!'

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
