97 ~ Void Bloodlines and An Immortal

The Immortal and the Bloodline of the Voiders.

The legend was known throughout the majority of the world, but it was nothing more then myth.

But the story goes as follows.

The world had been destroyed by the Immortal, Erebos, with the First Voider, Zoe, standing nearby. When Erebos destroyed the world, it summoned the God of Chaos, Tristan, who cursed the pair. Erebos was to protect Zoe's bloodline, and if he should fail, he would feel their pains. And her bloodline would be great and powerful rulers. Erebos tried and failed to protect the bloodline again and again after it was secured. He became covered in scars, and continued trying to protect the family.

During the end of the Great Orion wars, Tristan talked with Erebos about his position in life. To stop the war, would he sacrifice himself, or sacrifice Prince Voider and give up his immortality and power?

Erebos chose to sacrifice himself as he'd lived a long enough life already. The war stopped quickly after Erebos sacrificed himself, and the current Voider fell in love with someone and started a family.

Xisuma stood near the giant crystal with some of his Hermits. Scar, Cub, and Zedaph were talking about how to study the purple and black crystal. Joe and Xisuma were looking at the insignia carved within the crystal itself, trying to figure out what it was and meant. Mumbo, Keralis, Bdubs, False, Stress, Iskall, Hels, and Cleo stood nearby for support incase the crystal did something.

Xisuma felt drawn to the crystal, and he'd flown over the surface maybe 100 blocks above them many times. Perhaps this crystal was effecting the server. If so, as the admin he couldn't indulge in it. Even if he wanted to.

Xisuma stepped closer to the crystal, trying to figure out what the insignia was. He tripped over a rock, and leaned against the crystal with his hands. Laughter erupted from the Hermits who were just watching, and he stood up and shook his head while he stepped away from the crystal. Scar and Joe's panicked eyes made him look back at the crystal.

There were hand prints from where he landed, and his hands weren't covered in white paint. He stepped back as he heard a crack resonate from the crystal.

The crystal began shattering from where X's hands had been, resulting in panic. X grabbed Joe and flew to the other side of the cavern, and many hermits did the same.

The cracks spread throughout the crystal, and the purple glow faded as it fell to the ground. It crumbled away once it touched the stone leaving what seemed to be the only pieces of the crystal left.

Once they made sure everyone was okay, a few hermits began investigating the hole left by the crystal. X was the one to find the blonde.

The blonde was shirtless, and had on black sweats. Many scars littered the man's back, but the scars on his arms were hidden by the black ink-like substance. A slight purple glow to him revealed he wasn't fully human.

"Guys! There's a kid!" X yelled. Now the blonde seemed 19 at the oldest, so it was likely he was much younger. X himself had looked older then he actually was at 16.

Joe and Keralis practically teleported to the kid, and they made sure he was okay. Turning the kid over and onto his back, they saw something. The insignia that had been on the crystal, was tattooed on his upper chest directly above his heart. The kid's face was pretty scarless, which was suprising considering his entire torso was covered in scars.

Cleo stood near him, but he only noticed when she pointed to a sword near the blonde. The black hilt caught his attention. What type of sword has a black hilt anymore? Cleo walked over and picked it up, revealing it from under some of the rubble. She pulled it out, only to gasp at the black blade.

It was shiny and reflectant, much like obsidian. The same insignia was on the blade near the hilt, making X think it was a sign of being apart of something. Like most people had something to do with their main server on their outfit or tattooed onto them.

But almost all insignia's were known by admins, so it was suprising to find a new insignia. Especially one as simple. It was the greek letter for A and the greek letter for e - The Alpha and the Epsilon letters - with a black out light with the upper left and lower right corners being replaced by a dot.

It was simple, yet intricate.

...

The blonde was taken to X's base to rest, while Cleo played with her new blade. X watched the kid with Joe, them making pleasant, yet quiet and short, conversations. When the kid opened his eyes, the expected him to freak out. Only kid furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, and sat up. One of Impulse's yellow sweaters was very clear on him, as it exposed most of his collarbone and covered his arms almost completely.

"Where am I?" The kid asked.

"Your in Hermitcraft season 5." Xisuma answered.

The kid's confusion made itself known on his face.

"...Hermitcraft is a well known-" Joe began, only to stop when he saw the kid was unhooking the machines making sure he was alive. "Wait, we don't-"

The kid stood up and walked out of the room, followed by Joe and X. X alerted the others to the kid's conciousness, while the kid made his way through the base. Finally he stopped at one door, and opened it. Instead of just leaving, he entered making the pair look at eachother.

They saw the kid was looking at himself in the mirror, checking the stain-like black that extended up to his elbows.

"Kid? You okay?" Joe asked.

The kid spared him a glance, before turning back to the mirror.

"I didn't expect to still be alive..." They admitted.

"Why? Was the crystal you were in supposed to kill you?" X asked.

"I don't-" The kid lowered their arms as they glared at themself in the mirror. "I didn't expect the crystal would ever break. May I ask what caused it's shattering?"

"X tripped." Joe said, laughing slightly.

"'X'?"

"Nickname. My names actually Xisuma."

"...Grian." They said. "And I'm not a kid."

"Sorry, you were asleep so we didn't know." X siad, raising his hands in surrender.

"I do not understand. Why are you surrendering if there is no weapon?" Grian asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Wow... How long have you been trapped in that crystal?" X asked.

"And what type of friends would allow-" Joe got elbowed in the gut.

Grian's eyebrow raised slightly, and he turned to look at himself in the mirror once again.

"Do you like the sweater? Impulse gave it to you because of his own costume change a while back." X said.

"...I used to wear a red one. A gift from a friend..."

"I regret but-" Joe started.

"I wasn't wearing it when I was placed in the crystal. It's most likely trashed by now." Grian cut off Joe, and turned to look at them. "Besides, Taurtis was an idiot who didn't know how to make a good sweater."

A soft smile rested on the short man's lips. Different from the blonde's speech patterns from before, and the composure change was suprising. As he had been so serious, but changed suddenly.
