《Hermitcraft Season 8 and 9 Oneshots》What Friends Are For - Pearl/Gem (S8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pearl POV
I was very worried. Gem's never late, why isn't she here yet? No Pearl, your overreacting. But what if she's not okay?
I decided to trust my gut and make it over to here base. When I arrived, I flew around a bit while admiring the builds. I realized I was getting distracted so I focused back on the task at hand. After looking for 15 minutes, the only place I hadn't checked was her starter base.
I walked in to the small base with no sign of Gem. When I climbed up the ladder, what I saw was concerning. Despite it being 11 am, Geminitay was lying in bed looking very tired.
"Gem?" I asked once I was next to her.
"Huh... Pearl?" she mumbled sleepily.
I pressed my hand against their forehead and as I suspected, it was warm to the touch.
"Here, have a blanket," I said in a calm voice as I passed her the fuzzy blanket nearby.
As shiver went down her spine as she responded with "T- thank y-y-ou Pearl."
"Gem, your sick just try to get some sleep."
"N-no I am not. I'll get up."
The ginger tried to sit up but when she did, she looked like she had a headache.
"Geminitay, you need to stay in bed to get better."
"B- but I have s- so much to do today..." she responded as shivers went down her spine.
"No, no. Your fine, I can tell them you can't make it. Just stay here and try to get better."
She finally agreed and settled down in bed, but not before saying "Thank you P-pearl."
As I made my way downstairs, I thought about the past few minutes. It really hurt me to see my friend like that and it's my job to help Gem get better.

3rd Person POV
Pearl looked around the house and found what I needed, which wasn't too hard considering the size of the house. She put the pot on the stove poured the soup out of the can. While the soup was 'cooking', Pearl looked around the house until she found some Advil . She found it and put the now heated soup in the bowl.
Gem POV
I couldn't think about anything else. The throbbing pain in my head was too much to bear. My throat felt like it was burning with each breath. I didn't care i was make soft wimper-like noises.
I felt a pair of arms pull me into a sitting position. I opened my eyes to see a concerned Pearl looking at me.
"Gem, are you okay?"
"N-no," I managed to whisper, increasing the pain in my throat.
"Here, have this." She gave me a pill and a glass of water. I swallowed the medicine and almost immediately started feeling better .
"Thank you Pearl."
"Anything for a friend. Try to sleep, I'll be here if you need."
As I readjusted myself, I couldn't help but smile a bit. This is what friends are for.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Taverns edge - A mercenary's guide to Ley Line traveling
The taverns edge is a fiction that centers around a pair of unusual friends. A mercenary that happens to be a princess of fae, but prefers to stay in a well-known établissement instead of staying in the Sidhe. Moira. Being half a dragon doesn't really help getting along with snobbish elitists at her mother's court. Like all sidhe she likes to strike a good deal... Which has led into many a disaster... Though she always tends to get by, especially when she gets home to the Tavern on the edge. The mentioned établissement is run by the formidable Barkeeper and jack of all trades Tora, who happens to have a very interesting past. Which involves more than one sinister secret... Now add to the mix a totally clueless elven girl - a mortal, not a fae- on the run. Lunara. She has unknowingly struck a deal with the devil - quite literally. Now unable to handle the consequences on her own she enters the tavern on the edge. An epicenter for magic and the only place where she might find help. She talks Moira into helping her out. A race against time begins as the deal's symbols appear on Lunara's skin. The journey leads to the dwarven empire, the sidhe and wherever the crossing leylines under the tavern may lead. This fiction belongs to the same universe as Ancient Blood. English is not my native language, so please don't be harsh. This story is an adaption of an idea, that we, a friend of mine and me, have developed over a few months while taking a break from learning. Some parts were written by Emberspark. Thank you for allowing me to work with your ideas and letting me publish this as a whole. Updates... I will try to frequently update both of my fictions... Well in case you are interested I post it on Scribble hub, too. I really don't steal from myself 😂
