TW\\: Explosions
Me and Scar walked down to the stony shore near the lake, him watching his every step. I knew Scar was still scared about the literal Hardcore news.
After we sat down, being careful to not awaken any Drowned, he flopped down on his back.
"UGH, why did this have to happen? It's been a decade and this has never popped up."
Following Scar's lead, I lay down next to him on the rocks.
"I'm not sure, but I think we'll be okay.""It's weird though, it feels like a normal server."
"Yeah, it doe- wait."
I sat up suddenly, and pulled back my sleeve. Every player has their health tattooed on their forearm, and the hearts change depending if your on Hardcore or normal. Sure enough, the hearts were normal hearts. Panic ran through me.
"Are those..." Scar had sat up and was watching me.
I finished his sentence, nodding. "Normal hearts. Was Xisuma lying to us?"
"Can't have. He's the admin, and he always took care of new hermits. Besides, he was panicking himself."
Scar was a vex, meaning he could sense how people were feeling more than humans could and go inside their minds temporarily. "I guess you're right. It's just really worrying that it's been so long and this is a HDS."
"Yeah." I lay back down and we stayed there, minds racing. It was all so chaotic. If it really was hardcore, why weren't the hearts looking like Hardcore ones? And why did I get that weird feeling that everything was wrong? I was scared. This was in fact a High Defence Server, and almost nothing went wrong, unlike Evo.
We lay there, staring at the sun, for I don't know how long. Suddenly, I heard a sound behind us. Then-
Hissssssssss
"SCAR, CREEPER!"
He looked behind him and ran-I was already so far away but ran back to grab his arm-
I saw the flash of light-
Running away-
Then came the boom.
And everything went black.Author's note://
I didn't have many ideas but had to publish something, so....
I did want to add a Creeper or Drowned somehow, but the creeper seemed more exciting. See you in a bit ig
