Corrupted [A Cider, Chronos, and Zephyr, Fanfiction][Discontinued]

Chapter 7 - 8-Bit Blossom

SharaX got rid of my writer's block with this new info on Seris:

A Satyr, eh? Just makes things more interesting~

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

Cider had calmed down, mostly. He still hated Xephyr all the way to Hell, though. He went feral whenever he saw him, so we were worried he would attack him again.

Chronos was still making sense of everything. He didn't mind Xephyr. In fact, he liked having him around, afterall, Xephyr is his brother. He understood why Xephyr did what he did. He sometimes got confused as to who was who, since the only thing that told us appart was that Xephyr wore a gray and green beenie and I wore a green scarf.

Shara was okay with mostly everything. She didn't mind him, but she minded Cider wanting to kill Xeph. She was planing to land the ship on a new world similar to Undertale to gather provisions.

Xephyr himself was...curious. He liked being alive much more than being stuck in my mind. He tried to get back on Cider's good side, but it was hopeless. Cider was stuck hating him. He did his best to ignore it, though. He looked on the brighter side of things: he was free. He absolutely loved having a physical form.

I was getting used to things. I was used to having Xephyr around, but having physically beside me was something new. Cider did his best to keep me away from Xephyr, as if he thought he could attack me again. Chronos was doing his best to convince Cider that Xeph was still good, but it wasn't working.

We were currently landing on a new world. Everyone was staring through the windows, trying to get a good look at it. "What world is this?" Cider asked.

Shara shrugged. "A world with Gods, demigods, nymphs, etc.," She explained. "It's where Hex wants us to meet."

"And why do we want to meet him?" Cider asked, crossing his arms and raising an 'eyebrow'. Shara glanced at Xephyr.

"You haven't told them? Really?" She asked him. Xephyr looked away, though everyone was staring at him. "Well..." Shara sighed. "...tell them."

Xephyr was silent for a few seconds before turning to us and giving a small smile. Cider glared at him. Chronos looked curious, and I was too. Xephyr closed his eyes, as if relaxing. As soon as he did so, his body began to glitch out horribly. I jumped back in surprise as he froze up. After a minute or so, he opened his eyes again and the glitching stopped. He looked incredibly tired.

"...I'm still corrupted," He said simply. HIs eyes were pitch black, and I don't think he noticed. "It's getting worse."

"...and Hex claims to know how to help him," Shara sighed. "That's why we need to see him."

"Count me out," Cider grunted. "I'm not helping him," He glared at Xeph, who sighed.

"Cider..." I trailed off. He doesn't listen to me, or Chronos, or Shara, and especially not Xephyr himself. "..."
