《The Fallen Council》XIX

I made my way through The Main HQ's doors and saw a familiar crimson haired female with lapis eyes. She was wearing a light red cloak. She was just a little taller than me.
"Hey ᒲᒷᔑ!" I called out and she turned around to look at me smiling brightly.
"ᔑ⍑, ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ!" Meadow ran to hug me. "It's been so long!" She exclaimed.
"It's definitely been long! How are you?" I smiled to my little sister.
"I'm alright. But that Oneus bitch is really making me boil with anger!" The crimson haired female groaned.
"Yeah..," I muttered.
"Right, right! You should go see ᓭ⍑ᒷリ now!" She smiled and pushed me towards the medical center.
"Alright, alright, I'm going!" I chuckled as I entered the medical center.
I was welcomed by a familiar blonde nurse. She gave me a warm smile as I walked to her.
" ̇/ᒷꖎ, great to see that ᒲᒷᔑ can be actually useful!" Haylie chuckled.
"𝒜𝓇𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝓇𝓎𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝒶𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼'𝓂 𝓊𝓈𝑒𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈?" I heard the older Nether-born female say from behind me.
"𝒦𝒾𝓃𝒹𝒶, 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓃'𝓉 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝒹𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓁𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓁𝓎!" Haylie smirked speaking The Nether's forgotten language with the original way.
"𝐼 𝓌𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓇𝑒𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓌𝑒 𝓌𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃'𝓉 𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑜𝓌𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝒹𝑜 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒾𝓃 𝒶 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓂𝑜𝓃𝓉𝒽𝓈 𝓈𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓊𝓈 𝓌𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒷𝒾𝓉𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈!" Meadow exclaimed.
"𝐿𝒶𝓃𝑔𝓊𝒶𝑔𝑒 𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹! 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒾𝓃 𝒶 𝒽𝑜𝓈𝓅𝒾𝓉𝒶𝓁!" Haylie pointed out.
"𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹?! 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀?! 𝐼 𝒶𝓂 𝑜𝓁𝒹𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊!" The crimson haired female snapped.
"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ꖎᒷᔑ↸ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∷𝙹𝙹ꖌ╎ᒷ ᔑ↸ᒲ╎リ ᒲᒷᔑ↸𝙹∴!" I raised my voice and both of the females froze.
"ᒲ|| ᔑ!¡𝙹ꖎ𝙹⊣╎ᒷᓭ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ!" They both exclaimed at the same time bowing their heads.
"ᒲᒷᔑ↸𝙹∴, you go find ᒲᔑ𝙹 tell him to give you a mission," I spoke out with The Main Watchers' seriousness in my voice.
"||ᒷᓭ, ᒲᔑ╎リ ∴ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ᒷ∷ ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ!" She nodded to me before turning around and running off.
"⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ, can I go see my mentor?" I faced the blonde nurse.
"𝙹⎓ ᓵ𝙹⚍∷ᓭᒷ!" She nodded and lead me to Sherenidy's bed opening the curtains letting me go to her.
I sat down on the chair next to her bed.
"It's great to see you ̇/ᒷꖎ," She greeted me with a smile and a nod.
"You too ᓭ⍑ᒷリ," I answered smiling to her.
"So, we have a problem called Kira Fang," Sherenidy groaned.
"She became a problem," I sighed.
"Exactly," Sherenidy nodded.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked with a cold tone in my voice.
"⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ᔑ !¡ᒷ∷ᒲ╎ᓭᓭ╎𝙹リ ⎓∷𝙹ᒲ ᔑꖎ↸ᒷリ, ᔑリ↸ ꖌ╎ꖎꖎ ⍑ᒷ∷," The female spoke out with seriousness.
I nodded and stood up.
I made my way through the curtains and nodded to Haylie as I left the medical center. I headed towards Alden's office.
This was the way we worked. If someone becomes a problem, we get rid of them and pretend like they were already dead when we found them. Everyone trusted us. That's all we needed, we only needed them to trust us and everything was alright. But then there were people like Oneus, who wanted to rule over our people! We could have easily killed him, but we didn't want to look suspicious, so we had to pretend like we were weaker than we actually were. We didn't want anything bad to happen to our people. We just wanted to rule them.

Because that's why we exist.
I stopped in front of Alden's office and knocked on the door. It got opened by the brunette Main Watcher, who smirked to me and let me to the room.
"Here to see ᔑꖎ↸ᒷリ?" Kasen tilted his head.
"Mmh, ᓭ⍑ᒷリ sent me here," I nodded.
"Alright then," Kasen nodded and wrote something to his notebook. "You can go see him," He smiled to me.
I quickly thanked him and made my way to another door in the room knocking on it.
"Come on in ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ," The Main Leader's voice called me through the door.
I put my gloved hand on the metallic door handle and opened the door.
The dirty blonde Main Watcher stepped into the room and walked to The Main Leader who was standing in front of one of the numerous bookcases that were in the room.
"I assume that リ╎↸|| sent you here," The raven haired Main Leader tilted his head.
"Yes, she said that it's time to get rid of Kira Fang," The dirty blonde nodded.
"I see and I have to admit that I completely agree with her," The Main Leader spoke out. "We have to get rid of Kira Fang," He finished.
"Do you give me permission to set her free from her pain?" The dirty blonde asked.
"Yes," The Main Leader nodded.
That was all the dirty blonde needed. He quickly bowed before he stormed out of the door and made his way to the prison cells.
He was met by the ruby eyes that were full of tears and pain. The female looked extremely scared.
"What is it now.?" She whispered.
"Kira Fang, your journey in this cruel world has now come to an end," The dirty blonde let the words fell from his mouth as he stepped closer to the prisoner.
Her eyes went wide and she started screaming her lungs out. She tried to get away from the Watcher, who was slowly moving closer to her.
"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" She screamed in total panic, she was more scared than she had ever been in her whole short life.
The Watcher stopped right in front of her and slid his cold fingers under her chin. He looked into the ruby eyes one last time.
Then he pressed his lips against the female's letting the poison fell into her mouth letting her have a quick, but painful death.
She took the last breath before felling asleep knowing she wouldn't wake up every again. The dirty blonde was the last person she ever saw, but for some reason she felt safe in his arms.
𝚂𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚎𝚕𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎.
Her lips formed a smile for the last time in her life. Her eyes slowly closed and everything turned dark. She wasn't afraid of the dark anymore. Her body fell limp on the dirty blonde's arms and she left the world without any fear or regrets.
The dirty blonde stood up and tossed the body to the corner. He snapped his fingers and soon the body was on fire.

He raised his glare and faced a brunette admin. The admin had his arms crossed and he was leaning against the doorframe.
"She was so pathetic," The brunette groaned.
"You're right," The dirty blonde sighed.
"Let's get out of here and you definitely need to take a shower and change your clothes," The brunette smirked as he looked at the dirty blonde, who was covered in blood and poison.
"I guess that your right," The dirty blonde sighed.
The duo made their way out of the room locking the door behind them.
No one had to know.
I glared at the crimson haired female. Xelqua had sent her here, but what was I supposed to do with her? I made eye contact with the raven haired admin next to me. At least she seemed to have a plan.
"We have to go through these books and write down everything useful about The Watchers Academy," The weaponsmith spoke out. "You are from the Original Nether, aren't you?" She continued holding out a book written in The Nether's forgotten language.
"Yep, I am," The crimson haired answered.
"Can you read these books then?" The weaponsmith asked calmly.
"Sure," The another nodded.
"Great, that's going to help us a lot," I smiled to the younger female.
"Mmh," She hummed smiling and took the books.
"Sorry, it's just a bit hard to give you orders right now since we're not exactly finished with The Rookies new rules and such," I apologized.
"Nah, it's alright," She smiled.
I had to admit that it was great to have the old Rookies back. They were really useful and we needed all the help we could possibly get.
My eyes moved to The Lead Admin next to me. Jaylee had been one of Alden's closest friends ever since they had been young. She was really helpful now since Sherenidy wasn't allowed to work. Jaylee was always helping me and Shen if one of us was unconscious. She was the 12th oldest, but everyone treated her like the oldest sister of our 'little' family.
The library's door was opened and Blake walked in with a lavender haired female Watcher, Topaz.
"I found us a Watcher helper," Blake smirked and ruffled the younger's hair.
"Did you bring the Watcher books too?" I gave him an incredulous look.
"No," He admitted mumbling.
"Why did I see that this was coming?" I sighed.
"Alright, I'll go get them!" The red eyed admin exclaimed and stormed out of the room.
I sighed and slammed my head on the table muttering, "This is a mess."
I was sitting on Sahara glaring outside of the window. Soon we would be able to open Sahara and hopefully start making some diamonds too. Also the Sahara street build off was going well, I was no longer struggling with the design ideas.
I ran my hand through my dirty blonde hair and moved my glare to the papers in front of me. We had a meeting coming in a week since we had to announce the new members of The Council. I wasn't still allowed to work in a couple of weeks, says Haylie, but who said I have to listen to her?
"Hey G? You there?" I covered the papers and turned around to look at the direction I heard Mumbo's voice come from.
"Hey Mumbo! What is it?" I smiled to my taller friend.
"Me and Iskall are almost done with the redstone, Sahara is almost done," Mumbo announced as he walked to meeting rooms door.
"That's amazing! How long until we can have the grand opening?" I asked clapping my hands.
"Maybe three or four days. Can you decorate the interior so it would be ready when we have the grand opening?" The taller English man asked running a hand through his hair.
"Mmh, I can do that," I nodded.
"Great! Do you have some kind of plan for the decorations?" Mumbo asked curiously.
"Yep! I think that you and Iskall might also like it!" I smirked.
"I can't wait to see what have you come up with!" Mumbo smiled. "But now I'll go help Iskall before he gets annoyed with waiting," Mumbo sighed and waved before walking away.
I watched as the English man disappeared from my sight and turned around to look outside. I collected my papers and put them away. Then I made my way to the broken window and jumped out of it spreading my elytras right before hitting the ground.
I flied to Sahara's lobby and pulled out a couple of shulker boxes from my inventory. I took some materials and started working on the decorations. I wanted to make the lobby look good.
I had been working for a couple of hours when I got a message. I pulled out my communicator. My heart dropped as I read the message.

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?
