The Lion Sleeps Tonight - A Hermitcraft Fanfic

Aftermath

Entry number one.

I've started a new journal, for this season and the upcoming new one. The nHo may be gone, but  maybe that's for the best. Maybe it's good that Doc and I are okay. I wonder what happened to Etho and Beef, though. I hope they're okay.

I'm looking to the future now, though. I might stay away from jungles for a bit, maybe build a nice village in the plains next season. Anyways, I must go. Doc and I are off to see if we can go buy that mansion!

Long live, uh... you know what? Long live me.

"You never told me you had a cybernetic arm." Doc pointed out, helping put the prosthetic in question back together. Iskall grimaced.

"I don't like thinking about it." They admitted. "Especially because... because of how I lost it."

"Oh." Doc nodded. There was an amicable silence between the two for a few seconds, and then all that was said were instructions from Iskall on how to put their arm back together.

"You okay?" Doc asked. "Being kidnapped can be-"

"Stop." Iskall frowned. "I wasn't even awake for most of it, and I don't need to-"

Meanwhile...

"- be treated like glass, Cub!" Scar protested. "I'm fine, I promise!"

"I'm worried about you, Scar!" Cub yelled, then sighed. "I let this happen. I let you be possessed by- by that MONSTER all season. So you'll forgive me if I start worrying a bit more."

"You didn't LET anything happen, Cub. None of this was your fault. I can look after myself." Scar explained. Cub had no response. The silence crackled in the air, tense and electric. Then Scar put his elytra on, and-

Meanwhile...

- took off, trying to get away from BDubs, cackling his gremlin cackle like a madman. BDubs followed in hot pursuit.

"You read my dia- journal!" BDubs yelled, shaking a book at Keralis.

"Journals aren't private, Bubbles! And you left it in my base!" Keralis explained, flying further away.

"We SHARE a base, Keralis!" BDubs protested. In response, Keralis turned around, flying right past an angry BDubs, which is always incredibly dangerous. He whispered three words in BDubs' ear as he flew by:

"Long live you!"

BDubs made an angry noise, then-

Meanwhile...

- turned to follow Cleo, after she stepped through the portal. Ren looked back at the server behind him, and smiled. Things had been good. Well, except for the bit with the Jungle at the very end. He knew he hadn't been able to save Tomato Yoshi, and his heart ached a little at that, but still, a part of him held hope that Tomato Yoshi was out there, living out his life in the now-dead Jungle.

Still, you did what you could, and you hoped where you would. After all, things could be-

Meanwhile...

- much, much worse. This was much, much worse. It was a disaster of epic proportions. Tango had taken one look at the plans for Impulse's base, and said:

"A hidden underwater level!? That's just asking for something to go wrong."

"Yeah, you're right. I'll scrap it." Impulse assured him. "Besides, who would even need to make use of a hidden underwater floor of their base!?"

And that's that! Welcome to the end of the book, I suppose. But fear not! I have more stuff planned!

Over the summer holidays, when I can get online, I will be moving the sequel to this story, titled "Playing Open-Handed" over to Wattpad. I'll publish that book all in one go, since it's formatted in fewer, longer chapters.

And in September?

In September, Soul Trade Act II: The Conquered will start.

Get ready.

I've been Entropy. Peace out from the present.
