  The Being sighed and addressed the people following them. Telling the green eyed people their latest plan.

  The Being glanced at Zedaph, who was rubbing his wrist but still bowing. The Being returned their attention to the majority and silently hoped Zedaph wouldn't "break" again.

  It wouldn't help anyone. At least anyone on the Being's side.

  Xisuma ran past an old bench that a hermit probably built when they were on a picnic with someone else, his eyes wide. He stopped to catch his breath and looked around.

Of course one of his regular walks was going this badly.

  He didn't see anyone, but the possessed hermits had just been chasing him, so who knows what danger Xisuma could be in.

X decided to continue running and he ducked behind a large building. The tall walls blocking out some sun.

Xisuma slowed down as he looked around the alley, glancing up at the a bit shorter wall from a different build completing the pocket of space in between the two buildings.

Gem peaked out from a few outer placed blocks, adding detail to the building she was pressed against. She grinned to herself and her lime green eyes glinted with malice.

"Found him," she whispered to no one in particular, just knowing that the Being would hear her.

She watched as the admin walked deeper into the alley and smiled.

X's eyes widened as he heard something behind him and he quickly turned around. The light footsteps that he heard, he should have paid attention to them. Huh?

He would've noticed those green eyes sooner.

Grian opened the door to his bunker, finally leading Etho and BDubs outside after a few days of recovery.

"Okay, where to first?" Etho asked, taking the lead and walking forward, his ears twitching.

"Do we find X first?" Grian wondered aloud, his wings fluttering behind him as he looked around. "Or do we go straight for the possessed and the Entity?"

"We could do both," BDubs proposed, messing with a flower on his moss cloak. Etho glanced back at him and BDubs continued.

"Etho and I could go find the Being or a few possessed Hermit, then Grian can go find X and tell him our plan." BDubs said.

"Why me?" Grian asked.

"Because my wings are damaged and BDubs doesn't like showing his off, and you're the best flyer," Etho explained for BDubs.

Grian stopped walking and nodded, spreading his wings out. Etho stopped and turned to face him, BDubs walking to stand beside him.

"Alright then, see you soon boys," Grian flapped his colourful wings and lifted himself into the air.

  BDubs waved and turned to Etho. "Okay, where to leader?"

  Etho chuckled and turned back around. "To hopefully the Being."
