《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.

Sun God's Corruption
This is the world the gods have turned their backs on. Even these creatures, these holy divine beings, can be overwrought with greed. Amongst themselves, amongst their factions, wars were fought. Wars were lost. Now the power risks falling into the hands of a single God. What would the people do if they knew? Knew that the gates to heaven had been slammed shut. They couldn’t even see the blood pooling beneath their feet. They had to do something, anything, to appease the gods. Rarfu was a city long known for being the center of the world. It was the city where the gods came together, and their Temple's stood amongst each other in the grand state. However, the many temples' priests had grown ignorant to their God's silence, unaware that one by one they were dying off in a war of the Heavens. Cors, the Grand God of the Sun, the father of life, had become corrupt and jealous, wanting to wrench power from all the other gods. Tillia, the Goddess of Magick and Shadow, the only God to be able to stand up against Cors, uses her dying breath to reach out to her temple for help. Knowing that Cors has made his final move to walk amongst the humans, she gives her Essence, the core of her power, to Nethira, young girl of her temple. With her remaining strength, Tillia gives Nethira a single command. To save the balance of power she must appease him. UPDATES TUES/THURS after chapter 5 Cover art by Tumblr User: @pigeon-princess This book features characters that are related to in many ways to my other novel "Grimoire". While both stories are their own stand alone series, Sun God's Corruption will add a good amount of depth to Grimoire, and Grimoire shows the unfoldings of the world that will eventually come from the events in Sun God's Corruption. I reccomend reading them both interchangably.

Demonizing Matters
A high fantasy drama about a young woman who finds out a demon secret. This secret sparks a growing conflict between demons and humans. While trying to save her own life and dealing with the unexpected consequences of her actions, she falls in love with a hated demon. We follow the drama of Lita, alongside a cast of several other POV characters, as she discovers secrets (both open and purposefully hidden), makes well intentioned but sometimes disastrous decisions, and encounters prejudices and truths. Demons may be evil… or not. Humans may be good… or not. God is aloof… or not. Publishing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is my first real work! Super excited to be publishing! I don’t spend a lot of time describing gore, sex, trauma or any other type of scene that would be labeled as mature. I've labeled the story as mature in every way more because I don't quite understand the standard and don't know if I've crossed the line at all (and I'd rather be safe than get my story rejected for under labeling ;)). Mostly I hint, start the scene then interrupt/fade out, and in general let the reader know it happens but without making it too explicit. (I’d love to hear how I did on this! And if it was still entertaining/informative without being traumatizing.) This is what I prefer to read myself so that’s what I write. I’m not apologizing. ;) If I mislabeled my mature content it was by accident. And, yes, the pacing was also on purpose. Beyond that, I welcome any feedback you want to give! Enjoy the story!
