Ranboo angst for the soul

book one: sleeping with the fishes

Tw: Execution

"What you've done cannot be stood for, Ranboo." The voice echoed in Ranboo's head as he struggled against the chains that bound his wrists to the wall.

The enderman awaited death in that chamber of secrets, accompanied only by the dried blood of another long gone victim. He cried out as the heavy metal bore into his wrists. He had already tried to teleport out, but deep down in his heart he knew that it wasn't possible.

There was little light down there, and bugs crawled at his feet. Tears streamed down his face, and they burned through his flesh. Though, that would be nothing compared to what he was about to experience.

A man came to his cell and unchained him, quickly handcuffing him again. Ranboo cried out as he was pretty much yanked by the neck to the place of his death. He couldn't tell who it was, for his eyes were blurry. He didn't dare to ask.

They were on the docks, there was a crowd attending, and they sat at a temporary stage. There upon it, the iron maiden stood. It was taller than normal, and had a face of agony cut into it.

He was led up the stage, the faces of the people staring at him. One was being physically restrained by a guard. Pink hair fell down his face and he growled.

Technoblade...

He saw a crow with unnatural blue eyes atop a post of the stage. It chirped a song of sadness, before a guard had hit it. The crow cawed at the guard before hopping to another post. It looked remorseful.

"Prisoner," a voice rang out once he was situated next to the maiden, "You have been condemned to die in this ocean by a jury of your peers, the sentence imposed by a judge of good standing in this state. Is there a statement you'd like to say before the sentence of the court is carried out?"

Ranboo stuttered, his voice hoarse from crying. "Phil, Techno, my friends. Stay safe. M-may the gods rest my soul." he cried.

The crow bowed its head and Techno growled, a tear falling to the ground. He gasped as he was shoved into the maiden, chains wrapping around his body and the body of the iron coffin.

"Prisoner, you will now drown,
bound in this iron coffin until you are dead, in accordance with state law." The guard said

"What laws!" Techno spat, before recieving a punch from the guard restraining him. He heard in piglin language that "he was gonna blow this country up so bad" and a caw of approval from the crow, who was once again smacked by the guard. The crow turned into a man and smacked the guard with his bag, yelling "Stop smacking me you bloody idiot!" before turning into a crow again and flying to the roof of a nearby building to escape.

Ranboo wished they could do something. He wished the crowd could do something. But they would be punished too.

He made a screeching noise as the guard stared him down, and he heard Technoblade grunt in disgust. He cried and it burned badly.

"May God rest your soul." the guard said. Other guards came and picked the maiden up. Ranboo caught his last breaths, tears streaming down his face.

"You're killing an innocent man!" he heard. "Shut it, pig!" he heard. He heard a caw.

He was thrown in.

Water flooded the chamber and he screamed, but it wasn't heard. Bubbles came out of his mouth and tears dissapeared into the water. He hit the ocean floor with a thump and screamed in pain, yelling in both English and Enderman.

He choked, and his lungs were filled. This was worse than burning. His skin crawled. He thrashed, desperately trying to get out of his watery grave.

"Please," he cried. He knew it was hopeless. His vision turned blurry, his skin crawled

A bubble escaped his mouth. His vision went dark.

"Goodbye.." he thought, before he finally succumbed.
