It's Another Hermitcraft Oneshot Book

Empire- (Angst - Grian)

AN- This song is Empire by Beth Crowley. All rights go to her!

AN2- This is my first attempt at writing someone in this type of situation so it's not the best but I thought the idea was interesting.

TW- blood and death

Clay and snow walls. Mobs rainign from the sky. Chests covered in obsidian. The watchers may be able to prank and punish him but he knows that everything is all his. The server will fall to his rule. He built this empire from the ground up and it won't fall anytime soon.

I can hear the whispers in my sleep
The voices telling me this should be mine
You

When Taurtis left to start his own, the emperor snapped. His best friend had betrayed him, the mafia were on his trail. He began to all and any means in his possession to win. The watchers were desperate to stop his maniacal rule.

You claim you trust me
You think I don't see the doubt behind your eyes

He doesn't care about the watchers. He doesn't care what his friend's think. He wants power. Craves it. Needs it. Lives off of it.

I'm gonna build me an empire
And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stop

Most in the server called him insane. Others called him confused but he just wanted to rule. Even after the pranks and destruction he caused and had happen to him he wouldn't release his hold on his dream. His friends turned away from him. Netty stopped talking. Sam feed off the insanity. Taurtis revolted.

It's my destiny
I was born to play this game
So fear me or love me
It's all the same

His apathetic rise to the top had to stop. The watchers trapped him in the end portal and chained him up until he changed. He gave in and he became a watcher. But his insanity and needs were clawing at his insides.

Try to find a chain that I won't break
A price I wouldn't pay for what I want

He planned it all out. He became more powerful than any other watcher before him. Took down those who trained him. Remorseless. Everyone turned on him so he turned on everybody.

So you can call me calculating
You can say I've lost my mind

Desperate times lead to desperate measures. The watchers needed to protect themselves from his non-stop drive for power.

You can throw me to the wolves
I'll be alright

He was banished. Wings torn from his back. Magic stripped from his soul. He was too powerful to be kept in the void alone. So they sent him to a server to live out his life under the rule of a powerful admin.

I'm gonna build me an empire
And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stop

He never gave up. Pushing away his normal insane front and he became friends with everyone. Friends with no trust. He'd been betrayed by everyone he'd ever known. These were just another piece to his puzzle.

I'm gonna build me an empire
And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stop

Wars started. Pranks escalated. Contests bloomed. Story lines unfolded. All under his hand. They were his puppets. Gain enough control over each hermit and he'll control the admin.

Just one word I'll let the world burn
Just one word I'll let the world burn

He had finished his puzzle. Each piece in place and he could finish what he had started. Complete dominion. His empire. The watchers were no more, having retreated into myth after his brutal coop.

I'm gonna build me an empire
And it's lonely at the top
But madness and greatness
Can both share a face
And nobody will ever convince me to stop

They all say he has a choice. He's lost it years ago along with his mind. The fear of the hermits just fuels him. No one will ever truly be his friend. He tilts the admins head

with his sword, ready to end it all. Shouts from his puppets.

It's my destiny
I was born to play this game
So fear me or love me
It's all the same

They cry his name. Begging him to understand that they care. They'll be there for him. He feels nothing for them. Fear and love always leads to the same outcome. Taurtis betrayed him. Netty ignored him. Doc tried to control him. Scar only used him for profit. Mumbo and Iskall. They had never done anything... but they can and they will.

With a precise slice, the admin collapsed into pooling blood. And still, they cry his name. Dropping to his knees, insanity burning through his veins, he cries.

So fear me or love me
It's all the same
