《The Fallen Council》XXI

I glared at my Watcher screen waiting for one of my siblings to come through the barrier. Only Godiva, Chet and Ned had come back injured. Luckily none of them was badly injured and they would heal.
I heard curtains open and raised my glare to see Sherenidy walking towards me. She hopped on the table I was leaning against, almost making me fall.
"You know, you're going to be the death of me someday," I muttered.
"Haha, I don't think so," She laughed.
"When the others get back and everyone is healed, me and ||ᒷリ have to talk about something..," I spoke out with seriousness in my voice.
The female's face went serious right away and she nodded, "So an emergency meeting?" She asked tilting her head.
"If that's possible," I nodded.
"Alright, I'll make sure that happens," She said pulling out her Watcher screen. "Something happened, right?" She assumed.
"Mmh, we saw something strange," I nodded.
"You can explain better in the meeting," She said running a hand through her pumpkin orange hair.
I nodded slightly and pulled out my Watcher screen to see Upton's name pop up to the screen.
"⚍!¡ came," I mentioned and Sherenidy nodded.
She jumped off the table and made her way to the door, where she was greeted by a young looking blonde and his friend.
"What brings you two here? You are Tommy and Tubbo from Dream smp, am I right?" I heard Sherenidy say.
"Yeah, I'm Tommy and that is Tubbo," The blonde answered.
"We came here because Tommy got a cut from somewhere and it doesn't stop bleeding," The another boy explained with worry in his voice.
"Mmh," Sherenidy hummed. She looked serious but also curious. "Come on here," She lead the boys to me.
The boys looked at each other before following the female. They seemed to be thinking if they could trust her, but apparently her dark purple Main Watcher's cloak made her look trustworthy.
"Can you show me the cut?" She asked from the blonde as they stopped in front of me.
The blonde nodded pulled up his left sleeve. There was a deep cut that was full of purple and black liquid. I froze the moment I saw it. Sherenidy was also shocked.
"⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" The female shouted and grabbed the boys arm.
He flinched since he hadn't been expecting that. The other, Tubbo apparently, looked scared. They had no idea what was going on.
"Tommy, please follow me," Sherenidy said after examining his arm. "And ̇/ᒷꖎ," She turned to look at me.
"On it," I nodded.
Haylie peeked through the curtains and made her way towards us. She grinned as she saw Tommy's arm.
"Ouch, that's not good," She mentioned.
"⚍!¡'s here soon. Can you take care of him if we take care of the boys?" Sherenidy asked from the nurse, even though we all knew that it wasn't a question. It was an order from the Main Leader's left hand to the Lead Watcher.

"Of course!" Haylie nodded and made her way to the door.
"Alright, Tommy, come with me," Sherenidy said and started leading the boy towards an empty resting space.
"You're Tubbo, right?" I asked from the boy that has stayed next to me. He nodded shyly.
"Is Tommy going to be alright?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah, don't worry about him," I smiled to him. "I have a couple of important questions for you. Can you answer them?" I asked tilting my head.
"I guess," He nodded slightly.
"Mmh," I hummed. "Are you under aged?" I asked.
"Yeah, and so is Tommy," Tubbo admitted.
"Alright, then I'm going to need an adult here too. Do you have someone you trust?" I asked looking at him.
"Uhm, well, our dad Philza and our brothers Wilbur and Techno, but we don't know where he is right now," He spoke out.
"You mean Technoblade?" I tilted my head.
He nodded, "Yeah."
"Wait here a second," I said and picked up my communicator.
¬Meadow¬
(17.13) Mea, I need The Blade
to the medical center right now!
(17.14) Thank you!
Coming! (17.14)
I put my communicator away and turned to the boy. Luckily we still had the admins +Teni and Techno in the HQ after our alliance during the Oneus-situation a couple of weeks ago.
"Can you get your father and brother come here?" I asked tilting my head.
"I can call them," He nodded and pulled out his communicator.
I nodded to him and went to the resting space Sherenidy has taken Tommy. I peeked through the curtains and saw that Sherenidy was applying some purple cream on the wound. She moved her eyes that were behind the mask to me.
"↸╎↸ ||𝙹⚍ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ𝙹リᒷ ∴⍑𝙹 ╎ᓭリ'ℸ ̣ ⚍リ↸ᒷ∷ ᔑ⊣ᒷ↸?" She asked.

"⊣𝙹𝙹↸," Sherenidy nodded.
"I don't understand a shit!" Tommy groaned.
I smirked and backed away through the curtain. I saw Meadow walk in with Techno. He seemed to recognize Tubbo and went to him right away.
"What's the matter?" Meadow whispered to me.
"A minor player had gotten a cut that is made by a Void-weapon," I quietly explained.
"I see," She nodded with seriousness in her voice.
"Can you keep Tubbo's company while we take care of Tommy?" I asked.
"Sure," She nodded.
I turned to look at Techno, who was talking with Tubbo. I walked to them and greeted Techno with a simple nod.
"Did you call your family members?" I asked from Tubbo while Techno looked confused.
"They're going to be here soon," Tubbo nodded shyly.
"What's goi-" Techno started but I cut him off by shouting as I saw Van's name appear on the screen.

"||ᒷリリ||! CAN YOU COME HERE?" I shouted startling Tubbo and Techno.
Yenny peeked through the curtains and tilted her head. "What is it?" She asked.
"⍊ᔑリ'ᓭ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ᓭ𝙹𝙹リ," I spoke out without even noticing I was using Galactic.
"∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ?! ᓵᔑリ ⍑ᔑ||ꖎ╎ᒷ ℸ ̣ ᔑꖌᒷ ᓵᔑ∷ᒷ 𝙹⎓ ⍑╎ᒲ? ╎'ᒲ リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ↸𝙹リᒷ ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ リᒷ↸!" She panicked.

"ᓭ⍑ᒷ ⍑ᔑᓭ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ꖌᒷᒷ!¡ ᔑリ ᒷ||ᒷ 𝙹リ ⊣𝙹↸╎!" Now I was panicking too.
We just looked at each other in the eyes behind our masks. I quickly turned around to look at the crimson haired female.
"ᒲᒷᔑ, ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ᔑꖌᒷ ᓵᔑ∷ᒷ 𝙹⎓ ⍊ᔑリ ∴⍑ᒷリ ⍑ᒷ ᓵ𝙹ᒲᒷᓭ," I tried to keep my voice calm and serious.
"ᔑ-ᔑꖎ∷╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣.!" She spoke out. She seemed to be nervous, she wasn't really a nurse or anything close to that.
I turned to look at Tubbo and Techno but another name popped up. Kasen and Tatton came through the barrier too.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ! ∴ᒷ ᔑ∷ᒷ ∷⚍リリ╎リ⊣ 𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ 𝙹⎓ リ⚍∷ᓭᒷᓭ!" I shouted.
The female peeked through the curtains.
"I'll go get help, take care of this mess for a while!" She exclaimed and sprinted through the door.
I took a deep breath in and turned to look at Tubbo and Techno. Next to them were standing two new people, I recognized them as Philza ans Wilbur.
"You four, come with me," I pointed and they followed me. I stopped by the door as I realized that I actually had no idea what I was doing.
"Wait a second," I mumbled and pulled out my communicator.
I quickly searched Sherenidy's contact and called her. She picked up immediately.
"I have no idea what am I doing!" I exclaimed before she got a chance to say anything.
"Tell them about the Void-weapon cut and something like that SHIT-" Then I heard a scream and a bang.
"DID YOU JUST RUN TO A STREETLIGHT?!" I exclaimed in shock worrying about the youngers safety.
"Yes, yes, nothing else than my nose is bleeding. Don't worry! Now I have to go," She said and hung up the call.
I took another deep breath and looked at the four people behind me. I led them the curtains.
"So, Tommy here has gotten a cut from a Void-weapon," I started. Techno's eyes went wide open, the others looked confused. "Do you know about the Void-weapons?" I asked from them.
They all nodded. Seemed like they knew about them but not about their effects.
"Void-weapons are really powerful and they might involve a really dangerous poison that can cause horrible damage," I explained. Now they all looked horrified. "Don't worry about Tommy. Here we have all different kinds of potions and The Main Watcher Sherenidy has already taken care of the cut," I continued.
"Tommy, did you see where you get the cut from?" Techno asked.
"I don't know. I was just messing around as I realized that my arm was hurting a lot," Tommy explained.
"A hidden trap," I mumbled. "Looks like you hit your arm in a hidden Void-weapon, but you didn't realize it because it had a liquid that makes the cut painless for a couple of hours. And when you noticed it, you were already far away from the Void-weapon," I spoke out what I though had happened.
"But," I turned to face the adults. "I'm not exactly a nurse, so we'll have to wait for Sherenidy to get back," I explained.
"Is there a logical explanation who did this or why this happened?" Philza asked carefully.
I shook my head, "We can't track down the Void-weapon's owner and the reason is a mystery to us too," I explained seriously.
"Do you think that the Watchers have something to do with this?" Techno asked crossing his arms.
"They are our first suspect," I answered running a hand through my dirty blonde hair.
"That's right, but there's something wrong with that theory tho," I turned around to see Sherenidy walk in through the curtains.
"You don't mean..?" I grinned.
"I know for a fact that Dream smp had a strong barrier, there's no way a Watcher had made it through," She spoke out gloomily.
"What does that mean?" Wilbur asked.
"It wasn't a living creature that placed the Void-weapon," I started.
"Which means it was probably a lost soul," Sherenidy ended.
"A lost soul?" Techno raised his eyebrows.
"A dead player, whose soul wasn't able to go free and they got stuck in this world. They can't leave this dimension and go to the dimension they belong to," The female Watcher explained.
"We talked about this when we were stuck under the same roof, my roof to be exact," I muttered the last part.
"Ah, I think that I remember now," The pink haired male nodded.
"But now, you should stay here under Haylie's watch for a couple of days," The female said turning to Tommy. "And the rest of you either stay here for a while or leave, but remember to also give Tommy a little privacy," She continued.
"We will. Thank you very much!" Philza nodded.
"No problem. Now, we have to go, there's a little disaster going on," Sherenidy said and pushed me through the curtains.
I looked at the list and saw that Blake, Dexter and Lyndon had come through the barrier. I sighed and looked at Sherenidy. She looked serious as she turned to look at me. Her lips made on sentence,
'This is probably just the beginning..'

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things
