They are here.... (a hermitcraft watchers story but it's not Grian)

Zedaph Backstory 3/4

3rd pov:

Zed ran through the deep dark in pure panic, he summoned the warden but he already finished the zedvancment. Nothing was going as planned and he was tripping over his own feet left right and centre. As wardens kept spawning, he kept running. It's funny how he got into the situation, the zedvancments were only for fun entertainment but this one might be his death since he forgot to check his elytra. Wardens kept spawning around him, shooting at him with their sonic booms. Zed kept running though. His entire body hurt, and he was at 3 and a half shakey hearts. With the fact he was running out of hunger too.

Zed kept running for his life, all he could hear was his heart racing, the wardens heart, and the 7th warden burrow out of the ground. He finds a chest that just so happens to have a notch apple in it. He grabs it and runs, choking since hes eating while running which is not a good idea. His health bar ticks up half a heart at a time, that's when he spots the unlit portal in the middle of the ancient city. Theres a strong urge to run towards it, and he realizes he already is, going a completely different direction then he was supposed too. He makes the sharp but may be dumb decision to keep running towards it. 

The closer he gets, the more he can feel and hear it. The whispers of voices around him, the straining tear of his back. He gets urges and emotions hes never felt before, his vision gets painted a sparkly teal. His back feels heavier and heavier as he reaches the portal. His hands start feeling as if there was a cold and sticky subtance on him, soon it feels to be crawling up his legs too. His head starts feeling as if something is forcing its way out of it, the same feeling that he had when the horns of his sheep side grew in. It all feels to odd, so Right. 

He gets to the portal in the centre, the wardens have stopped chasing. Zedaph stares at the grand structure in front of him. The renforced deepslate frame, he has the urge to touch it. So Zedaph does just that, his hand sparks and the portal bursts into a working portal. It's not like the nether portal, or the end portal, or even how the aether portal is described. The bottom is a teal that fades into the texture of skulk. Zedaph was always told there would be no way to open this portal, so how has he done it? It makes no sense, everything thats happening makes to sense! but as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, or maybe the cat survived. He steps through the portal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It brings him out to a world made of skulk, the skys are a galaxy view, the blocks have a blueish tint. It's all oddly pretty to look at but he still doesn't understand where he is. Zedaph looks around, taking the place in, but as he turns, he notices the skulk coloured wings on his back. He jumps a bit since he has no idea where they came from. That's when he also notices his arms and legs what sculk growing up them. Zedaph turns around and sees a huge castle, something he wasn't expecting. Its made out of a dark blue stone with teal arches and points. The is huge windows with stained glass with an art piece created. It shows the wardens all lined up, and in the centre there is a person who has skulk coloured wings and is partially covered in skulk. He's holding a sword in the air, it has an insanely fancy handle and guard. So Zedaph walks towards the castle.

As he gets closer he starts noticing more details, there are villages surrounding the castle, the lamps are blue and have fireflies surrounding them. It's an odd sight to see, nothing makes sense and the biggest question he had was; where was he? He's read many ancient books and knows about the wardens and watchers, but never has he read about a dimension for the wardens. He reaches the castle and enters it.

The interior is huge and grand, many pilars and statues everywhere. In the direct centre is a glass case with the same sword in it that he saw in the tinted glass. He notices a huge metal door and heads towards it, the odd thing is he sees no guards in sight. As he reaches the door it opens automatically, but there is no redstone to be seen. Zedaph takes a step into the room and looks around, it was full of people and sitting on the throne in the very back was a woman. when she notices Zedaph, she stands up and yells "SILENT!". The entire room goes quiet as she starts walking down the steps to Zedaph.

"Finally, someone has come to save us!" She doesn't look like a warden, but shes covered in skulk. Her posture is great and her hands are clasped as she walks towards Zedaph. "I understand this is confusing but I'll brief it down for you. This is the forgotten dimension, its where us wardens live and prosper. Many years ago in ancient times, some humans opened the portal and let some of us out. But some spell caster cursed the portal so only a Deepy can open it. You are that deepy. And a deepy is the second strongest watcher to exist, with a endy being the third, hely being the fourth, and voidy being the strongest. Do I need to explain what watchers are?"

Zedaph stares at her, "No.. I already understand what they are.." He feels uncomfortable with everyone in the room staring at him, he was the centre of attention right then, but he oddly doesn't like it. The female walks past him and into the room he just came from, she walks up to the glass case and opens it, taking the sword out.

"This is now your sword, once I give it to you, you will be sent back to your own world. But you will still have the ability to change into this form and use the sword. Wardens will not attack you, they will see you as there own and protect you. Your sense of hearing and smell will be heightened and your vision may be a bit worse. Your also have some of the wardens abilities, you can burrow underground and sometimes shoot the sonic charges. Now, come here and take the sword Zedaph. You'lll meet the other three watchers soon." The Female hands Zedaph the sword, And Zedaphs vision goes dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Zedaph's eyes adjust, hes back in the ancient city with the portal unlit. He looks around guessing it was just a dream, until he notices he has the sword strapped to his back. He's back to normal again, but it seems it really has happened. He pulls the sword from his back and investagtes it. "This is going to be  hard to hide.." Zedaph mutters with a sigh, but just as he does, the sword turns to an enchated diamond sword. "what-" then it turns back. So Zedaph thinks about it being the diamond sword and it turns back into the diamond sword, he realizes thats how he'll hide it. He puts the sword in his hilt and stands up.

He notices the opening into the deep dark and he grabs some blocks to build out of it. When he gets up there he notices a nether portal and weird glitchy portal. He also sees more people, one friend who he still knows that loves sleep, and old friend that help him during his heroic endevers as Wormman, and someone he doesn't recognize.
