[WILL BE REWRITTEND]Disguises Can't Last Forever -A watcher Grian fanfic

Chapter 10: Aura

The hermits didn't bother asking. They all rushed to the shopping district with questions filled in their heads.

"Mumbo! Are you alright? Where's Grian..?" Gem asked with a worried tone in her voice as he saw his back facing the hermits.

"Mumbo? Are you okay?"

No answer. Making the hermits more worried.

The hermits walked towards him, only for him to disappear when they got close enough to punch him.

A flash of lavender made everyone crash to the floor it didn't make them unconscious but did make them feel quite weak.

That flash. It was lavender just like Grian's eyes that day... Even though the flash was fast, Pearl's eyes were keen and quick to identify that shade of purple which was strange, Pearl couldn't do that previously. Heh... We're in terrible danger.

⨅ᒷリ𝙹 appeared in front of the hermits. "Ha. Do you silly mortals think they can break into our realm with countless of us watching you? We have millions or even billions of eyes on your one so-called Watcher-proof server. We can see every. step. you take." she proceeded to laugh after she spoke.

"ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹!¡ ╎ℸ ̣ ⨅ᒷリ𝙹 ||𝙹⚍ ↸𝙹 ꖌリ𝙹∴ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ᔑ∷ᒷ ↸𝙹╎リ⊣ ╎ᓭ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᓵᔑꖎꖎ "ᓵ⍑╎ꖎ↸╎ᓭ⍑"?"
("Stop it Zeno you do know what you are doing is what they call "childish"?")

The voice came out of nowhere. The hermits tried looking around for the unfamiliar presence but there was none in sight. Joe whispered to the hermits what the voice said.

⨅ᒷリ𝙹 lower her head and apologised.
"╎ ᔑᒲ ↸ᒷᔑ∷ꖎ|| ᓭ𝙹∷∷||, ᒲᔑᓭℸ ̣ ᒷ∷" ("I am dearly sorry, master")

Joe whispered the translation once again. However, this translation brought even more questions about all of the players' heads.

⨅ᒷリ𝙹 wasn't in control of all the Watchers? It was indeed alerting, as she was already so strong and so powerful. Adding more bad luck to the hermits, unfortunately.

Grian woke up with his head throbbing for the (who knows how many) time that week.

Wha?.. Where am I?... he thought trying to regain his memory. Everything around him was blurry. He then registered the fact that his arms, legs and wings were chained up with indigo magic. Indigo... magic corresponding with the magic of those who prison. That means I must be in a prison. Grian thought, trying to focus on a distant object, that was when his vision cleared up and he could see properly. The room was light purple-ish like the colour of a purpur block and light yellow end stone. However, instead of those specific blocks, they had the texture of a stone block. Huh. Obviously, must be the Watchers doings. Of course, that was the least of his concerns, all that really mattered was getting out of there. Grian tried to use his power to free himself which of course didn't work, unfortunately. Of course, the Watchers are able to cancel out my power, they're one of the smartest beings to exist after all! Grian scanned the room. Its length was eight blocks while its breadth was seven blocks with its height at twenty-five blocks. Which wasn't surprising as the Watchers were quite tall. Especially the higher-ups. Other than him and the indigo chains, there was nothing else. Nothing to show how the Watchers would get in and out other than teleporting in. Think! How do I get out?

That was the moment when Grian remembered what happened. Oh god. I need to get out now. What if the Watchers get onto the server and kill them all?... God, please tell me they're still alive, every single one of them. I can't lose any more friends... not after that.. not again.

Anxiety rose in Grian, he started to hyperventilate. Come on. Take deep breaths. He thought, as his breathing slowed down to his normal breathing rate. Okay... I need to strategise.

Just as he was about to continue strategising, there was a rebecca purple flash and a seventeen-block-tall figure appeared. Of course, it's ̇/ᒷリ╎ᔑᔑ (Xeniaa)...

"ᓭᒷᒷ╎リ⊣ ||𝙹⚍ ꖎ╎ꖌᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᔑꖎᒲ𝙹ᓭℸ ̣ ᒲᔑꖌᒷᓭ ᒲᒷ !¡╎ℸ ̣ || ||𝙹⚍... 𝙹⍑, ̇/ᒷꖎᑑ⚍ᔑ... ∴ᒷ ℸ ̣ ∷╎ᒷ↸ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ʖ∷╎リ⊣ ||𝙹⚍ ʖᔑᓵꖌ ⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ||ᒷℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ∷ᒷᓭ╎ᓭℸ ̣ ᒷ↸, リ𝙹∴ ╎ℸ ̣ 'ᓭ ℸ ̣ 𝙹𝙹 ꖎᔑℸ ̣ ᒷ ⎓𝙹∷ ᔑᓵᓵᒷ!¡ℸ ̣ ᔑリᓵᒷ. ᔑ⎓ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ᔑꖎꖎ, ||𝙹⚍ ᓵᔑリ'ℸ ̣ ⚍リ↸𝙹 ||𝙹⚍∷ ᔑᓵℸ ̣ ╎𝙹リᓭ. リ𝙹 ∷ᒷ⊣∷ᒷℸ ̣ リᒷᓭᓭᒷᓵᒷ∷||.."
("Seeing you like that almost makes me pity you... Oh, Xelqua... We tried to bring you back here yet you resisted, now it's too late for acceptance. After all, you can't undo your actions. No regret nessecery..")

("I've already told you. We aren't the same. Saying this doesn't change anything.")
Lowering his head as he spoke.

"..."

"ᒷ⍊ᒷリ ╎⎓ ╎ ᓭᔑ╎↸ ||𝙹⚍∷ ⎓∷╎ᒷリ↸ᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ⊣𝙹╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ʖᒷ ᒲ⚍∷↸ᒷ∷ᒷ↸?"

Grian's head perked up instantly.
"WHAT"

He took a breath.

("What do you want from me?")

("That's what I thought")
She said with a smirk on her face. Unfortunately, Grian didn't catch the hints of her malicious plan.
"ℸ ̣ ᔑꖌᒷ ᒲ|| ⍑ᔑリ↸" ("Take my hand") She spoke as she freed him from the indigo force.

Grian hesitated thinking it might've been a trap, but held her hand when there were chances his friends would be safe. A chance. He would take it.

...

For the better or for the worse.

Xisuma and the other hermits looked at the twenty-block-tall Watcher. ⨅ᒷリ𝙹 was quite tall from the perspective of an average minecraft player, unlike when compared to the Watchers. However, that is a story for another time.

"||𝙹⚍ ꖌリ𝙹∴ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ↸𝙹 ⨅ᒷリ𝙹" ("You know what to do Zeno"). The voice spoke in a creepy and eerie voice. It became more frightening when Joe told the other hermits the translation.

⨅ᒷリ𝙹 raised her hand up, with the lavender aura in her small yet powerful hands. The scene when frozen can be explained by two different feelings: The moment of winning, feeling better when you beat your enemy. And... The sense of panic, wondering if you'll ever get out of this predicament. Which the answer is, of course, no.

⨅ᒷリ𝙹'ᓭ aura grew brighter and brighter, somewhat blinding the eyes that were looking at it in disbelief.
