Lost in Life-A Hermitcraft AU Fanfic

-Prologue-

EPILOGUE

I stepped out from the portal and began walking as I realized I was getting left behind, I did not like this paranoid feeling. Especially with the whole Demise Games going around, dying means no good,

I catch up with Iskall, as we walk around The End, “so, any reason you brought me here with you? To kill me?” I say to the shorter man in front of me, although I quietly mutter that last part. Iskall obviously heard me and looked back, staring at my eyes he began to laugh, “oh! Mumbo, heh, you crack me up everytime,” they joked around and swung an arm around me, or rather my waist. I flinched at the sudden contact, he calmed down and continued,

“But actually, you don’t have to worry Mumby! I would never kill you! In fact, I'll protect both of us if anybody is going to plan our demise!” they brought up an enchanted diamond sword and held it up high, letting go of me in the process. I step back a bit, frightened, but amused. Of course, this is Iskall we’re talking about! Cocky yet efficient, and a great friend to have, he will make a scene of everything

“Haha, very funny” I spit out, sarcastically, “let’s just continue”

As I said, we continued our walk as we killed some enderman along the way to get some ender-pearls, nothing wrong with being over-prepared! As we walked, I spotted a swarm of endermen crowding around one place, wonder what got them so caught up, apparently Iskall saw them too,

“Hey, look over there!” Iskall pointed out, “that’s a lot of endermen, wanna go kill them? We’ll get so many pearls” they suggested

I winced, if i’m honest. I have no idea how Iskall gets all this confidence, what if something goes wrong? What if one of us dies to our demise? What if we both die? Wait, how does this game work again? N-nevermind…

“Um, I-I don’t know Iskall, what if something goes wrong? Or w-worse?!” I stuttered out

“Aww, c'mon Mumby, I promise you nothing will go wrong!”

“You promise?”

“I promise!”, they smiled, I hesitated, but smiled back

I pull out my sword as Iskall does the same, they charge towards the swarm of endermen

I follow.

We began attacking, as endermen kept dying more pearls began to drop, this goes on for a minute or two– jesus! How many endermens are there?! It felt like hours fighting these things! Until…

I feel myself being back to a corner? No. The void, the void is right below me, I start to realize. I’m about to fall, I cry out to Iskall, nothing, I cry out again. I see their head turn in my direction, it takes them a bit of time–which I don’t have–then they realize.

“MUMBO!! I- UGH! WAIT!!” I hear them cry out

I fight back the endermans, but they tower over me, I can’t see anything, stupid endermen, I knew this was a bad idea. Maybe if I just teleport my way back! Ugh, but I have low health because of the ENDERMEN! And I don’t have food! This can’t be happening, this CANNOT BE HAPPENING!! I try to fight out the enraged Endermen surrounding me, of course to no avail. Iskall’s screams start to become a blur, just a random noise in the background

I sense the land below my feet start to faint as I'm being forced off it, but then I see, Iskall? Running away from me? What is he doing?! Does he have a plan? What am I saying?! This is Iskal! Of course he has one! Right? Right…I see them one last time, they’re heading towards the portal as some angered endermans follow him. No, he, he can’t be leaving me! He–

Before I know it,

I fall

I’m falling to the void, about to die, about to lose my life… permanently

I feel betrayed, angry, sadness, everything at once, why would Iskall do that? He seriously just did that…Just left me to die?

I start to take damage, as i'm on my last hearts I remember that text I saw just a few hours, before, all of this
