Taken By The Rift?~Hermitcraft

Chapter 33

~Other? POV~

"Sh*t! Sh*t!" A watcher dressed in oddly casual clothes growled under their breath, as they sprinted down the endless, end themed halls.

The footsteps of their desperate sprint echoed down the long ominous halls of what seemed to be a small Watcher Academy. After almost tripping over their own footing they came to a stop at a set of grand doors, they appeared to be heavily detailed in a gorgeous silver ink.

"He better be alive... oh Notch he better be alive." They muttered under their breath as they pushed open the looming doors before them.

Inside stood a female Watcher who stood tall and proud, a small boy knelt on the ground before her. Both were looking up to the grand throne where the elder sat.

"Ah, Xelox. Thank you for joining us." The elder greeted as the first Watcher pulled his hood down reveal beautiful short, brown hair.

"Why are you here." The female Watcher hissed, glaring daggers into Xelox's soul.

"This is as much his mission as it is your Xandria." The elder snapped at the girl.

"Thank you sire." Xelox bowed as he stepped forward to be beside his partner, though his gaze constantly fell back onto the boy knelt before her.

"But I did all the work!-"

"-Xandria you do not speak unless you are spoken to!" The elder growled, standing up from his seat to look at Xandria.

"Well you can't just allow him to take credit for all my hard work." Xandria grumbled, turning away from the elder.

"That's it! Guards!" The elder snapped as two masked Watcher walked out from the shadows, both taking immediate hold of Xandria.

"What the hell!-"

"-Take her away. Until she learns to not talk back, I don't want to see her." The elder hissed as magic casing chains ceased Xandria, dragging her away down the hall.

"I'm sorry for that young one." He sighed, taking back to his place on his thrown. Xelox simply nods in response.

"Good. You always have known when to speak." The elder laughed, simply dismissing Xelox and the boy.

Xelox swiftly took to pulling the boy out and dragging him out as soon as possible. Though once outside he dropped his grip, quickly taking to check the boy for any injuries.

"Oh Notch are you ok! How could I be so stupid to let this happen! Sh*t! Sh*t! Shit!" He scolded himself as he pulled the now extremely confused boy into a tight hug.

"W-What?" The boy croaked out, his voice extremely raspy from a lack of water.

"Hey, your ok. You going to be staying with me ok? I'm going to be your mentor or whatever. Ok." Xelox explained to him as he let go of his embrace and knelt down to face him.

"W-Who are- are you?" He whispered, his hands rising to rub his sore throat.

"The names Xelox. I know you may not like it, but I'm going to have to call you Xelqua for both of our safety. Ok?" Xelox questioned, taking Xelqua's hands in his.

"Mhm...." Xelqua simple mumbled as he nodded his head in response.

"Ok. Here." Xelox smiled, his hand reaching into the small pouch he kept at his side as he pulled out a small water flask.

"Th-thank you." Xelqua smiled taking the offering from the other.

"Let's get going then ok? We don't want to get caught slacking off do we!" Xelox laughed as he raised his hands to behind his head as they walked down the hallway once again.

"I'm going to get you out of here if it's the last thing I do."
