Purple Magic

Chapter 21

Grian wanted to know what Xisuma thought of Xenia. Each time he spoke to the admin about this, Xisuma never seemed to want to talk about his past. Vice versa, if he spoke to Xenia about Xisuma, Xenia would hold such anger in her eyes, it would make the strongest look away for fear of being stabbed by the daggers they held.

Grian paced back and forth in his base. Xisuma hadn't come back yet and Grian was getting worried. Maybe he could ask someone to help him? But he didn't know who to bring - neither did he know who would know Xisuma enough to find him. Grian had stuck with Mumbo for a lot of the season, causing shenanigans and joking about.

This was not a good time to lose Xisuma. A lot of shenanigans were going around Hermitcraft. Although they seemed harmless, a well executed TNT trap could take anyone out without a hitch. The gremlin anxiously checked his communicator. No death messages which meant Xisuma hadn't died. It would have been much easier if he did, though.

Even though dying was painful, staying in pain was worse and considering Xisuma was gone for about five hours, there could be serious trouble. The admin could take care of himself, right? It wasn't as though he'd somehow run into Zena. Grian shook his head, "I really need to stop overthinking. Xisuma is fine." and somehow, he knew it was true.

"Lemme see those wings," offered Xenia. She winced looking at how torn they were, "Void, that must hurt bad." Xisuma sighed. He hadn't noticed the pain until it was mentioned and that's when agony washed over him in a wave of unforgiving like a tsunami. He flinched as Xenia went to inspect the cuts which caused Xenia to frown.

"Xisuma, what caused this much damage?" she asked, concern lacing her voice. Xisuma blushed which wasn't seen through the helmet. "My elytra broke," he admitted "and before you lecture me, no, I did not check the thing's durability before I took off." Xenia rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Sounds like something you would do." She went and started brewing up a potion of healing. Xisuma looked around the cave Xenia had made home. It looked really cozy for a cave the size it was. On a crafting table in the corner, her helmet was taken off and her stunningly startling red eyes were visible. Xisuma had always admired Xenia's eyes.

"Alright, derp," she said, a potion in her hand "Drink it and it should be good enough for you. Your wings won't heal completely but I can fix your elytra." She held her arm out, expectantly waiting for Xisuma to hand over his elytra. He did. "Y'know," she said as she worked "You should take that helmet off. You do have beautiful, emerald eyes."

Xisuma clicked the right buttons and the helmet popped right off. "Wow," she said, staring right into Xisuma's emerald green eyes "You look more innocent than I remembered." She let out a chuckle and went back to her work. It isn't easy to fix an elytra so it took Xenia an hour for the silvery wings to be restored.

They left the cave and once they were back, Xisuma and Xenia put on their helmets. Upon arriving at Xisuma's base, they found a lot of worried Hermits who turned their head to the twins. "Xisuma! You're okay!" yelled Grian who attacked Xisuma with a hug. He shot a look at Xenia who just shrugged.

Doc looked warily at Xenia who introduced herself to the Hermits who were here. Xisuma told her of his past and apologized. Xenia wrapped her arms around him and muttered a 'sorry' which was good enough. She stood back and laughed with Mumbo and Stress. Doc was still suspicious of Xenia. He hid a splash potion of harming in his lab coat pocket. Just as everyone was distracted, he threw the potion.

No one knew what to do as Xenia fell to her knees.
