Blood-Soaked Feathers [MTB REWRITE}

Chapter One

One morning, a watcher named Xelqua awoke to the sound of his communicator beeping. He sleepily lunged his hand toward the sound, knocking half the papers off his bedside table. Most of these papers were sketches for his new projects since he was a high-tier builder. Xelqua successfully disabled the alarm and sleepily climbed out of his bed. He sluggishly changed into his dark purple robes and left his apartment-type room around 10 minutes after waking up. When he stepped outside his door, his sister was waiting for him. "̇/ᒷꖎ! ∴⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ʖᒷᒷリ?" She asked him in galactic, and Xelqua shrugged. "ᔑᓭꖎᒷᒷ." His sister, Lyra, sighed. "ᓵ'ᒲ𝙹リ, ꖎᒷℸ ̣ 'ᓭ ⊣𝙹 ⊣ᒷℸ." She said, looking irritably at her brother ̣ "ʖ∷ᒷᔑꖌ⎓ᔑᓭℸ ̣. ||𝙹⚍ ꖌリ𝙹∴ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒷᔑℸ ̣ ╎リ⊣ ⍑ᔑꖎꖎ ᓵꖎ𝙹ᓭᒷᓭ ᔑ⎓ℸ ̣ ᒷ∷ ᒷ╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣!" Xelqua shrugged again. "リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑╎リ⊣ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ↸𝙹 ᔑʖ𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ ╎ℸ ̣ リ𝙹∴."

Xelqua and Lyra had just finished their food, toast with chorus fruit and honey for Xelqua and a small bowl of cereal for Lyra. Lyra had looked at her brother's plate in disgust, for chorus fruit was disgustingly bitter. Xelqua had shrugged yet again and eaten his toast. Lyra and Xelqua, both being builders walked to their assigned room for the morning. EO16, the door read, and Xelqua noted that this was an assignment room. Xelqua had had his fair share of assignments, but never in the O-wing, as these were... well, to put it simply, not for builders. They were for assassins. "∴ᒷꖎᓵ𝙹ᒲᒷ," said the prime watcher, Arfix, said from behind his desk. "ℸ ̣ 𝙹↸ᔑ|| ||𝙹⚍ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ʖᒷ ᔑᓭᓭ╎⊣リᒷ↸ ᔑリ ᔑᓭᓭᔑᓭ╎リ ℸ ̣ ᔑᓭꖌ, ᓭ╎リᓵᒷ ᒲ𝙹ᓭℸ ̣ 𝙹⚍∷ ᔑᓭᓭᔑᓭᓭ╎リᓭ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ʖᒷᒷリ.. ᔑᓭᓭᔑᓭᓭ╎リᔑℸ ̣ ᒷ↸, ᔑリ↸ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ∴𝙹 ᔑ∷ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍊ᒷ∷|| ʖᒷᓭℸ ̣ ∴ᒷ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ." He said, and both Lyra and Xelqua gasped. "∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ?!" Lyra whisper-shouted, while Xelqua just paled. They'd both killed a substantial amount, and both deeply regretted it. "⍑ᒷ∷ᒷ ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍∷ ↸ᒷℸ ̣ ᔑ╎ꖎᓭ," Arfix pulled out a small stack of papers and put them on his desk. "I ᒷ ̇/!¡ᒷᓵℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍ ʖ𝙹ℸ ̣ ⍑ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ∷ᒷᒲᒷᒲʖᒷ∷ ᒷリ⊣ꖎ╎ᓭ⍑, ᔑリ↸ 𝙹⎓ ᓵ𝙹⚍∷ᓭᒷ ||𝙹⚍∷ !¡ꖎᔑ||ᒷ∷ リᔑᒲᒷᓭ." Arfix muttered dismissively, while he summoned a portal. Xelqua and Lyra, being in shallow shock, were nudged through the portal, papers in hand.

Hello! Yes, ANOTHER one! I just wasn't happy with the old one... A couple of changes: Pearl is Lyra, theres different types of watchers, and they are sorta in minecraft this time! Also: I am very sorry for the short chapter. 400 words is NOT ENOUGH!!! I'm hoping to actually update so y'know... fingers crossed :)
