This is Xaviell for anyone who was curious.

"What exactly IS merging?"
Tango didn't know how to answer that, it was hard enough for him to wrap his head around. Let alone have to explain it to the others. Did they even know about the true dimensions? About Killian and Adastros? 'well this is gonna be hard.'
"Alright. So what do you guys know about the creation of the first dimension?"
"The creation?"
"First dimension?"
"What are you talking about?"
Etho, False and Doc were all confused. Understandable. But kind of inconvenient.
"Ok well apparently it's story time. Grian you are going to have to help me because there are some things that I don't know."
"Okay!"

Story time! (Yes that was a Sanders reference)

In the beginning there was nothing but void, from that void came two beings. One of them was a mighty dragon, and the other was an emaciated player with three heads. These two beings gave themselves a name. The name Adastros was given to the dragon and the name Killian was given to the wither. Together they found a way to create life from the void, just like what happened to them. The being they created didn't have a name, nor a physical form. It was an entity created through the combined magic of two gods. Nothing is know about this entity but it's said that it helped create the first dimension and was forced away after doing so. This dimension was the end. It was just an island in the middle of the void where Adastros and Killian could create, but soon enough they found that the void could not sustain them or any other lives they wanted to create and so they forced the void away and created the first dimension know as the true end dimension. The void could not sustain life so where there was no void, life started to grow. The end beings were created first, they were as black as the void itself and in there core held the magic that also flowed through Adastros. They doted and loved Adastros, they all saw them as their leader. They respected Killian but did not see them in the same light as they did Adastros. And so a new dimension was created. This one held the same molten fire that ran through Killian's core. This created life in its own way. Beings that thrived in the warmth and light provided by Killian. These two dimensions intermingled, when Killian's kin came to the end they found that overtime they grew wings to aid them as they traveled. When Adastros' kin went to what would now be known as the nether, they found that their bodies become hard, they could no longer teleport but they could walk through molten fire and not get burned. These creatures were later known as gargoyles and wither skeletons. Over the many years however Adastros and Killian found that they wanted to create life in where they would not have to be known. And so they spit their realms. And created a new dimension that would act as a bridge between the end and the nether, a dimension that would sustain its own life and thrive without needing to be manipulated. They created the mobs and animals and showed them how to survive. Creating the first players was a mistake on Adastros' and Killian's part but it was one that they loved. Seeing life grow and develop from nothing but a land of trees and dirt was something no one could take from them. But soon enough the players grew tired of what they had and wanted to explore the other two realms that had heard about. Adastros and Killian didn't want players to be so close to them, they wanted to observe them and not interfere. And so they created small pockets in their own realms where the players would be able to go to and explore without interacting with anything that could completely erase them. And so the players explored and had fun but soon enough that grew boring and they found that the humans wanted control. This was when the first ever watcher was created. The first watcher was created from the void just like Adastros and Killian and was given the role to take a handful of players and teach them how to guide the other players. And so they took some players and gave them watchers magic and taught them all they needed to know, and although the first watcher went missing hundreds of years ago their teachings carried on to today's watchers.  These watchers are able to go to the true end, it's where they live after all, however around fifty years before the first watcher disappeared, Adastros and Killian also disappeared. No one has seen them for over three hundred years now.

"Wow. So that's how all of this came to be."
The library was silent as Grian and Tango finished their story.
"I don't get it though."
"Get what?" Grian asked False.
"What had this story got to do with merging?"
Tango decided to step in again here and said "when the endermen went to the nether they became wither skeletons, when the emberlings went to the end they became gargoyles. In both the end and the nether there is always a counter, always a balance or an opposite. Merging is when the opposites combobine together. One case had it where a wither skeleton could teleport or where a gargoyle had the ability to withstand the void for a short amount of time. Merging is when powers from both the nether and the end combine into one being. It has only happened a few times and even then they were not very well recorded at all so no one really knows why or how it happens."
Grian was the one to speak up now. "So you're saying that I will now be a nether born too?"
"Most likely yeah."
"Would that make me a gargoyle?"
That stumped Tango for a few seconds. "I don't actually know what you are merging with so that might be the case."
"What do we do now then?" X asked.
"I guess we just have to go on with our lives. If something changes then it changes, we can't stop ourselves or others from doing what they want just because we want them to."
"So for now we just wait?"
"It all we can do."

"What about the warning?"
