Surprise! I had this idea in the car, but I didn't want to turn it into a full story, so I made a quick little drabble. Enjoy! :)

Etho hissed at the pain leeching through his skin. Incredible burning down the side of his face, barely missing his eye. Blood dripped down as he swung at the black skeleton, not even bothering to preserve the skull. He just needed to leave. Racing to the portal, he stumbled to the overworld.

In the mirror, he frowned. Scars didn't appear from regular injuries, only withering ones. Withering ones like the stone scrape he earned in the Nether. It wasn't common to see scars on the server, as only a few had them. They were like awards for bravery, showing off the battles they fought against charcoal monsters. He traced his finger over the mark and pulled out his communicator, noting the only other person online.

Etho: *image attached*
Etho: lol
Xisuma: Oh my goodness!
Xisuma: Are you okay? What happened?
Etho: im fine i just got cut by a wither skeleton
Xisuma: That is the worst scar I've seen from one of those things
Etho: were matching now
Xisuma: I suppose we are
Etho: (:
Xisuma: :)

It was very brief, but I think it was pretty cute. Merry holidays once again! Stay safe <3
