Techno sighed as he fixed his cape to the side, my hand was holding his while Wilbur gushed about his wife and son to our new friends. "Should we save them?", chuckled Techno. I smiled before telling him that I would do the same, this made my husband blush and look to the side. We had informed our family to head back to Veri since our little stay in the Nether could add up to weeks in the Overworld. This resulted in Wilbur and Tommy staying with us to help eliminate the threat towards the Piglins. "Ah! Look! A fortress!", grinned Wilbur. We all looked in the direction that my brother had pointed in and to our disbelief, there stood a fortress. "My wife and I will scout the fortress, you two will scout the area.", said Techno, referring to the women. They nodded before heading out, a small smile appeared on my lips as I watched Wilbur, he looked at Techno with expectation. "What about me?", asked my brother. Techno looked at Wilbur for a minute before sending him back to the camp to inform the tribe of our discovery. "Also... Keep Tommy in check... I have the strangest feeling that he's causing trouble.", sighed Techno. Wilbur nodded before heading back, I could see that he was disappointed. "You don't have to treat him like a child, love. He can still fight and use magic... Don't overprotect Wilbur like that.", I whispered as Techno tied his hair up. My husband apologized before looking at me, he looked stressed and I knew why. "I've already told you that your vision gives you future outcomes that are less likely to happen.", I smiled, cupping his face. He nodded before asking if I was ready to head towards the fortress.
We began to fly up and surveyed the area but no skeletons appeared. I signaled at Techno to head towards the far west area while I went down into the structure. Remains of humans that explored the structure before us laid on the ground, armor and weapons still intact. "Geez...", I mumbled. A low groan made me flinch before pointing the sword Regnar let me borrow in the direction of the noise. The skeletons of the explorers rose and began to run towards me, I dodged and began to attack the creatures back. A low hissing noise bounced off the walls behind me, my eyes widened at the sight of a Wither Skeleton. It ran towards me while I fought the other skeletons. "Damn it!", I growled before destroying the skeletons and focusing on the wither one. It emitted black smoke and it almost looked like it had been painted with coal. "Well, you wanna dance or not?", I grinned. The creatures let out a high pitch screech before attacking. Its strength was overwhelming, even though its attacks were without a strategy, its raw power was enough to keep me down for a minute. I pushed the creature back before striking it down, it turned into black powder, leaving only a skull in its place. My hand quickly picked it up and waited to see if it would cause anything, to my surprise, my skin began to burn. "Guess these things can kill us.", I hummed, placing the skull on my belt.
When I reunited with Techno and our group, Tommy was now there along with the tribe. "Well, the place was empty except for some goods.", I smiled, offering the bag to the Piglin. Regnar smiled before telling us to keep them since we did explore the structure ourselves. "The most Wither Skeletons in there were about five for me.", sighed Techno, lifting his belt up to show off his kills. Wilbur came over and asked me about my kills. "I only found three inside.", I smiled and showed him the skulls. He touched one and was surprised by his finger being burnt. "Yeah, the bones of these things really can wither you even if you're a God.", I smirked. Tommy excitedly began to ask if he could join us next time we scouted. "If Big Brother Techno allows it.", joked Wilbur. My husband sighed before promising to let them come next time we scouted. The boys cheered before Regnar declared a hunt, we all thanked him as we followed the tribe into a crimson forest. We stayed next to some trees with Regnar while his tribe began to hunt hoglins, Tommy looked at the taller male before asking why he didn't participate. "Brynhilda, my wife. She hunts as Leader. I, not allowed.", he smiled before petting Tommy's head. My younger brother nodded as he continued to watch the tribe hunt and bring down many hoglins with ease. Brynhilda and Beras grinned at us as they held up a huge Hoglin by its feet. "Guess we'll be eating well today.", grinned Wilbur. We nodded and began to help the tribe on the return to their home.
I watched the Piglin tribe celebrate and dance around a large bonfire while I ate my food. It was nice to see them happy, I only hoped that we could help them with their problem. "You're overthinking.", chuckled Techno. My eyes met with his before I sighed, sometimes I wondered if the voices told him what I was doing in my head. "No, they never tell me anything you think about.", reassured my husband. A laugh escaped me before I leaned against him, he carefully took my plate and placed me in his lap. "Those two fit in anywhere.", chuckled Techno, pointing at Wilbur and Tommy. My brothers were busy dancing around the bonfire, Wilbur learning the moves with Regnar while Tommy danced with Beras and Brynhilda. "Those two will be my end.", I giggled. Techno chuckled before placing his chin on my head, he hummed softly to the tune of the music that the piglins were playing. My eyes closed as I also began to listen to the music, the laughter, and the crackling of the fire that brought peace to my mind as I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I was snuggled against Techno. I carefully removed myself from his warmth and yawned, my eyes scanned the area to see that many of the Piglins were fast asleep. A familiar pair of brothers caught my eye as they were sitting side by side, Wilbur protectively covering Tommy from anyone's view with his wing. I giggled before walking over to them, their faces had soot and berry juice on them. "You two grew up so fast...", I whispered before cleaning them up with a spell. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Beras, she smiled and nodded at me. A beautiful red blanket in her arms caught my attention. I quietly walked over and pointed at the bundle, the girl smiled before leaning forward to show me her child. "He's beautiful.", I whispered. Beras giggled before her son opened his eyes, he had a gold eye and blue eye like his grandfather. We walked to a less crowded area before she told me all about the child's father, who was a human. "Michael... My baby is Michael.", she said, proudly handing me the infant. "It's a beautiful name, Beras. I promise to help you guys with this problem so Michael can live a long life with all of you.", I smiled as I carried the child.
Once everyone was ready, we headed out to find where the Wither Skeletons could be. Tommy waved at Beras and the others that had stayed, before catching up with me. "Did you see her child, Sister? He was quite grand, wasn't he?", grinned Tommy. I laughed before nodding, baby Piglins were quite a sight and even if that child was half-human, he would have a higher chance at survival around these parts of the Nether. "When we get rid of these skeletons, we can come to visit everyone again.", I said. Tommy cheered before running over to Wilbur and telling him the big news. "He really liked his first visit to the Nether, didn't he?", smirked Techno as he handed me his sword. I nodded and told him that it was like that for me as well. A shout made us all turn before a Piglin blew a horn, a signal of an attack. "Ambush!!!", shouted Regnar. Techno cursed under his breath before calling my brothers by our side. "An ambush?! Wither Skeletons don't plan ambushes, right?!", exclaimed Tommy, preparing his sword.
Hundreds of Wither Skeletons appeared by the dozens, jumping down from higher ground all around us. "Watch out!", I shouted and pushed everyone. A few had jumped down to attack Tommy and Wilbur, I could hear Regnar command his people to change and protect us. Techno and Wilbur had been moved to the side together while Tommy was now paired with me. "Better show me how good of a Captain you are!", I grinned and begin to attack the creatures. Tommy laughed before joining me, most of the creatures turned to dust while others seemed to be a bit of a hassle. A shadow caught my eye, it was a cloaked figure. They moved in between the creatures with ease while heading towards someone. My breath stopped as I saw a wither sword in their gloved hand. "Tommy! There's an assassin within the creatures!", I shouted before destroying another Wither Skeleton. He nodded before we made our way to Techno and Wilbur, I could see them fighting hard against the creatures along with the Piglins. The cloaked figure was now behind Techno, I shouted as my husband turned. Everything was going in slow motion as the figure thrust their sword towards my husband's chest. My heart stopped as blood soaked the sword and fell onto the red soil of the Nether. My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, the fall of a God was happening right before me and all I could do was look into a pair of golden-colored eyes looking at me and Tommy.
"No... Amx, you can't punish us like this..."
