A New Era

[No one]

     "Oh, they're all fucked," A female with silverish-brown hair sighed.

A glowing female turned to look at the other. She had no idea what the other had meant and was really confused.

"This might be The Council's downfall. They have a traitor inside the walls," The silverish-brunette hummed turning to look at the other.

"What do you mean.?" The glowing female whispered. She wasn't sure if she had heard right.

"The Council has a traitor and Sam is getting really strong. He is trying to get a weapon made of souls of the dead Watchers so he can destroy the whole universe," The silverish-brunette hummed sadly. Her black eyes were full of sadness. "At least my siblings did the best they could. May they be remembered for everything they've done."

"B-but they're not gone yet..?" The other whispered biting her lower lip.

"They will fall, but will they rise up again? We won't know before they make the right choice. But this time lives are going to be lost," The silverish-brunette looked away in the darkness.

"Who is the traitor..?" The other asked quietly. She wanted to know.

"Someone who has been there ever since the beginning," The silverish-brunette hummed.

     I led Dream and Topaz to the Nether Fortress. We all knew that the situation was serious, our friends weren't idiots.

"There's something really strange.." Dream muttered a we entered the Nether Fortress.

"Something has happened here.." Topaz nodded quietly.

We all sensed that there was definitely something wrong with the aura. Something had happened, but what?

"Are you looking for Technoblade Minecraft and Tara Teni Shadowwalker?" A sweet, but serious female voice spoke from the shadows.

We all froze. I was 100% sure I had heard that voice before, but I wasn't exactly sure who it was.

"What do you know about them.?" I asked coldly.

"So you're looking for them! Amazing! Just as he thought! Well, I know where they are!" Her voice was sweet like honey, but now it had a deadly tone.

"Mind telling us where they are? If you don't, we aren't afraid to cause a scene," I threatened her.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you aren't able to cause a scene once you see who you're going to be against!" She laughed from the shadows.

"Can't you at least tell where they are?" Dream growled.

"I'm not afraid of any of you," She hummed from the shadows. Now she was closer to us.

"Who are you?" Topaz asked quietly.

"You all know me. We've met before!" She giggled and stepped in front of us.

I froze. In front of us was standing a Watcher with red hair and dark blue cloak. Her lips were curved into a smug smirk.

"No fucking way.." Dream whispered.

"As you already know, the name's Levana Leslie Lakewind," She introduced herself even though we all already knew who she was.

"Did you just betray us..?" I managed to whimper.

"Some people are just easier to control than others. For my bad luck, I seem to be an easy one to control," She hummed.

We all knew that we had lost her. She was under Sam's control and there wasn't a way to get her back to our side.

"Now, it's do or die, kill or get killed!" She giggled and summoned her magic.

"We all know that we can't help her anymore... There's no other opinion..." I spoke hesitatedly. The truth hurt like hell.

Leslie sent a dark magic-burst towards Topaz, who screamed a she got thrown into a wall. She fell on the ground, but seemed to be still alive.

I summoned my dual swords and faced my sister. Dream hurried to Topaz. He settled in front of her incase Leslie got the idea to try to kill her when she was unconscious.

"You have always been my sister.." I whispered.

"This is the only opinion left," Leslie giggled, but I was able to hear her pain. She was crying under her mask.

She attacked and I dodged, I attacked and she dodged. Our fight looked like dancing, we fought in perfect sync, but one had to die for the other to survive.

The dance continued for a long time, but we weren't getting exhausted. We both knew that this was going to be the last time we saw each other. I didn't want to kill her, but she was forced to kill me and our other siblings.

I didn't want to be the one who broke our perfect dance, but I knew that I was more powerful.

Biting my lip I sped up our speed and she started struggling right away. I was able to see the panic in her eyes as she noticed that she was going to lose.

Then my sword cut her chest open and she fell on the ground. He mask cracked broken and I started into her fading-purple eyes that were full of tears.

"╎-╎ ↸╎↸リ'ℸ ̣  ᒲᒷᔑリ ℸ ̣ 𝙹... !¡-!¡ꖎᒷᔑᓭᒷ ⎓𝙹∷⊣╎⍊ᒷ ᒲᒷ  ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ, ʖ∷𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷..." She cried quietly.

"Shh, shh, save your energy..." I whispered as tears started falling on my cheeks.

"!¡ꖎᒷᔑᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ ᒷꖎꖎ ∴╎リ↸|| ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣  ⍑ᒷ ∷ᒷᔑꖎꖎ|| ᒲᒷᔑリℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∴𝙹∷ꖎ↸ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᒲᒷ..." She begged.

"I will," I sobbed. "You were really an amazing person and a sister to all of us," I whispered.

"リ𝙹∴ ╎ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣  ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᓭᒷᒷ ᒷ⍊ᒷ∷||𝙹リᒷ.. ᒲ╎リ↸ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹∷ᒲ, ⨅ᒷリ╎ℸ ̣ ⍑, !¡ᒷ||ℸ ̣ 𝙹リ, ᑑ⚍╎リリ, ╎∷∴╎リ, ᓭ⍑ᒷリ.."

"You'll be remembered," I sobbed. It was hard to say goodbye to someone, especially someone as young as she was.

"╎ℸ ̣ 'ᓭ ᒲ|| 𝙹∴リ ⎓ᔑ⚍ꖎℸ ̣  ᔑリ||∴ᔑ||ᓭ.. ╎ ᓵᔑリ'ℸ ̣  ᒷ⍊ᒷリ ⍑ᒷꖎ!¡ ||𝙹⚍ ⎓╎リ↸ ℸ ̣ ᒷᓵ⍑リ𝙹 ᔑリ↸ ℸ ̣ ᒷリ╎ ʖᒷᓵᔑ⚍ᓭᒷ ╎ ↸𝙹リ'ℸ ̣  ꖌリ𝙹∴ ∴⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᔑ∷ᒷ... ╎'ᒲ ᓭ𝙹∷∷||.." She whispered.

I held her close as her eyes slowly lost their glow. She went limp on my arms. I stared at her and slowly started to realize that she was gone.

Tears filled my eyes. Dream looked at us with teary eyes. Topaz had her eyes opened, but she was weak. She was still able to understand what was happening.

"She's gone..." I whispered quietly.

"You are the oceans grey waves, destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is yours to climb.

In the white light, a hand reaches through, a double edged blade cuts your heart in two. Waking dreams fade away. Embrace the brand new day.

Sing with me a song, of birthrights and love. The light scatteres through to the sky above. Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone,

Lost in thoughts all alone..

Sing with me a song, of silence and blood. The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud. Within my ancient heart dwells, madness and pride. Can no one hear my cry?

You are the oceans grey waves, destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time, the path is yours to climb.

You are the oceans grey waves."

I softly sang the song Sherenidy had been singing when she died. My voice wasn't as clear as hers, but I tried my best, for my sister, all of our siblings.

We had just lost one of our siblings...
