Hidden Guardians|| A Hermitcraft Fanfic|| (On Hiatus)

8. opposition

Warnings! Fighting, mention of injuries, kidnapping, death. Let me know if I missed any.

Grian's pov

This is strange...they still haven't attacked yet and it's been over a month. I wonder what they're planning.
CRASH.
I ran straight to the window, what was going on out there?!
"Grian! The attack has begun!" I turned around, and saw pearl standing there, clutching her arm.
"Where are they?!" I frantically tossed pearl some bandages and grabbed my weapons and armour.
"Spawn. Quickly, Xisuma's been injured so he can't pull up a forcefield right now!" She was roughly bandaging her arm up as she ran off again. I changed my appearance and grabbed some more stuff before following.

As soon as I got outside, I saw a whole army of watchers standing there. One of them was holding something, as I grabbed a spyglass to get a closer look, I realised it was not something it was someone.
"Let him go you monster!" I ran straight towards the watcher holding keralis. Before I managed to reach him, he teleported away. It seemed no one else noticed.

"Is this seriously our opposition? Wow, that was alot of energy the lady had wasted on a bunch of weaklings." I snapped my head to look at the watcher who said that.
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you properly." I unsheathed my sword and attacked, killing the watcher in a single blow.
"Anyone else want to try?" I was challenging all the watchers in the server I was not going to let this go easy.
"I think he's the one we're looking for."
"Oh? You're looking for someone ey? Well, let's see if it's me then. I am xelqua utsuho, am I the one you're looking for?"
"Guys! Grab him. Someone else remember his appearance."

All of the watchers ran at me, I knew they weren't allowed to kill me, but they could injure me. Not badly, but enough to immobilise me. I used my sword with one hand and was using the other hand to do magic. I ended killing a about 30 before I suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my side. I instinctively grabbed at the wound with the hand that was using magic. Bad idea. There was immediately a sharp pain as I fell to the floor and then it all went black.

Cub's pov

There were shouts everywhere as me and stress were trying are best to patch everyone up. As I stood I saw Grian fall to the ground, I ran over there and knelt beside him as Xisuma gathered enough energy to cast a forcefield over us. I checked his pulse, normal, alright, that's good. I then moved to check the wound. It wouldn't have been enough to cause him to blackout, but the wound also seems to be infused with some purple magic. His magic. He must've accidentally touched the wound with magic. I don't usually work with magic wounds, I'm not sure what to do about this.
"Stress? Could you please come over here, there has been a magic injury." I quickly grabbed some bandages to prevent even more blood loss
"Mhm, I'm coming, let me just sort pearl out." I checked his pulse again. It's slowing down.
"Ok, I'm here. Please move to the side cub"

I watched as she got to work, pulling all sorts of stuff out from her bag, most of which I have never even seen before. In about 10-15 minutes, she looked up and smiled.
"He'll be awake in a couple minutes, go help the others with the watchers."
I nodded and walked off, drawing my sword as I went. Grian has taken care of most of them, but there still are a few.

Stress's pov

I just sat there, waiting for Gri to wake up. He should be fine, he didn't really hold his hand there for too long. As I waited, I heard someone run up behind me. I immediately pulled out my sword and pointed at the person.
"Whoa there, chill out. Just wanted to let you know that the dream SMP is under attack. Also, where is my older brother?" It was just Wilbur. This wasn't good, the watchers are also attacking other servers. I alerted everyone using my communicator before looking at him again.
"Mm, alright, as soon as we're finished over here we'll help you guys out. You asked about your brother. May I know who it is? Wouldn't he be on your server?"
"Keralis, he didn't like all the fighting roleplay so he went to this server instead."
"Ah right, I think he might be with xisuma." With that, he walked off.

Grian's pov
As I woke up, I saw stress sitting beside me. She handed me a healing potion and a glass of water. I took them both and thanked her. As I looked around,I remembered something, someone who might agree to help us. I was going to have to head to the forbidden part of the end. I told her I'll be back soon and flew straight towards the portal to the original end. Any person could get there,but it was very dangerous and the ender dragon was immortal. Many more species lived there, gods, watchers, void walkers ect. I needed to be careful or else I would get caught. It would have been better if someone else could do this, but anyone else would get killed by him if they entered the forbidden area.

I stepped into the portal slowly, before I was engulfed in light. When I walked out, I felt a bit dizzy, but I just shook it off and started walking. When I arrived at the end of the island, I stepped off the island as usual, and fell? Oh nonono, this wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to fall! There was supposed to be a platform here! If I fall into the void, there is no way I'll make it out alive. The servers are going to end in ruins due to the watchers wrath. They still think that I'm on one of the servers. As I fell, I gave up, there was no way I was going to survive this.

I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the immense pain of the void. I felt myself slowly falling, silently taking damage. Dying, alone, as I expected.

Alright! I hope you enjoyed the chapter, it was alot of fun to write. Also if you haven't noticed, I post the chapters every Saturday and Sunday. 1100 word count!
