Run Boy Run (can find it on ao3 in the first few chapters for free)

Chapter 1

Due to the danger that borns and halfborns cause our innocent civilians, our great kingdom has put up a bounty for any and all borns that have broken any laws. If you come across a criminal born or halfborn, they are to be captured on sight. Any borns, criminal or not, from the dangerous borns list is to be registered or detained.

If the born you come across is an Enderborn, Ender halfborn, or a Witherborn equivalent, they are to be killed on sight, due to their dangerous abilities. The bounty price of their masks are now 10k gold, their pearls are 20k gold each. A Witherborn's skull and stars are 15k gold each.

Decree 111- Date XX67

Due to the hunting and killing of Enderborn and their halfs, they have been put on the Endangered list, along with Witherborn. In accordance with other kingdoms (including our two neighboring kingdoms and our territory L'Manburg) bounties on innocent borns are to be voided and banned immediately, unless we want to start a war on born ethics. Anyone with a newly acquired mask, pearl, skull, or star who got it after XX66 can and will be fined if they do not explain how they acquired said items.

Decree 116- Date XX70

Witherborns and Wither Halfborns have been declared extinct. Enderborn and Ender Halfborns are Critically Endangered, with the number of Ender Halfborns unknown and only one Enderborn known to still exist on this plane.

The king has set a bounty for the last Enderborn, wanted alive per our agreement with our neighboring kingdoms. Not much is known about this Enderborn, but extreme caution must be taken for every hunter planning to take on the bounty.

Bounty- Enderborn

The last Enderborn still in the overworld. Known to wear green and has the signature Enderborn mask. Has no human name, goes by it's Ender name- Dream. Male in appearance. Must be captured and brought to the king alive. Bounty- 1M gold

An iron axe cut through the bounty board outside of town, slicing his bounty in half. The man who owned the axe glared at the paper as it fluttered to the ground.

They upped the bounty again.

Dream sighed, glancing around before pulling his hood up and over his head, hopefully making his mask harder to see. The town was quiet, even though he had just chopped their bounty board in half. It didn't matter- the people of this village knew what he was and didn't care. He used to come here a lot when he was younger and looking for a place to rest. It was one of the last places that housed and hid Enderborns and their halfs from hunters. He also helped them when trolls or goblins would invade. They wouldn't rat him out.

He did need to leave, though. This town was already under watch for not killing Enderborns during the decree, and him being here would put them under hot water, even if the decree was no longer valid.

He grabbed his sack full of supplies off the ground, taking out some bread and tearing a piece off as he walked away. 1 million gold for his capture... he's tempted to turn himself in, if he's honest. That would be stupid, though. The new king might not be so trigger happy when it comes to exterminating an entire race like his dad was, but he was much more greedy and he liked exotic things. Either Dream would become the king's pet for the rest of his life, or the king would tire of his attitude and just kill him and take his pearl and mask. Neither sounded fun.

It's times like this where he wishes that he got the memo and followed the other Enderborns and Ender Halfborns (those who had one Enderborn parent and one human parent) to the end. That's where his family went, with the last of the Enderborns a few years back. They locked the portal behind them and he hasn't seen them since. Maybe if he were an Enderman, he could teleport through dimensions, but Enderborns don't have that power. They can't even control their teleporting that well.
