|Grian|

I watched as Mumbo ran away from us. His eyes had been turning a purple color.

Iskall sighed and went after him. I slowly made my way up to my bedroom.

Why would he run away?

Was it me?

Does he hate me?

He probably does...

I looked down at the necklace I had been given almost a year ago. I still hadn't taken it off. I couldn't. Not unless... This stupid thing. I dont want to wear it anymore! I tried yanking it off. I tried the clasp at the back. I tried everything I could think of!

"Stupid. NECKLACE!!"

I finally yanked it off my neck it shattering against the floor. I felt all my energy drain away as I fell to the floor with a loud thud and everything turned to darkness.

I woke with a headache. It felt like my whole head was scrambled and a mess. Like something was there.

"G!!"

Iskall came running in. He was out of breath and was panicking.

"G-There-something-wrong-with-Mumbo-"

Iskall was trying to catch his breath.

"Why do you need me?"

"-Huh?-"

"What?"

"G if you-didn't realize-your speaking that-weird language-again-"

"Oh sorry. I was saying why do you need me?"

"There's something wrong with Mumbo that may want to see-"

"What is it! What's wrong!?"

"His eyes-

their purple"

I realized what that might have meant. I might be too late. I flew out full speed towards Xisuma's base. I came through the entrance of one of his towers to find nobody. I looked through every building until I found the right one. I burst around the corner and through the entrance to find Xan and Xisuma doing something.

"XAN!!!"

"Not now Grian we need to do something important..."
"XAN I NEED YOU NOW!!!"
"Grian. We need to do something. We can do stuff later..."
"WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT IM TRYING TO TELL YOU!?!"

"THE GODDAMM BARRIER IS ACTING UP GRIAN!! WE ARE TRYING TO STABILIZE IT!!."

"I have something that might help with the problem..."

"What?"

"I THINK I MIGHT KNOW WHAT IS MAKING THE BARRIER ACT UP!!!"

"What the hell is it?!"

"IT'S MUMBO!!"

"What about Mumbo!"

"Do watchers eyes turn purple when there being controlled."

"Why?"

"Do they."

"I mean if a watcher is possessing someone most of the time yes-"
"No..."

"What?"

"Nononononono! This is all my fault..."

"Nothings your fault-"

"YES, IT IS!! IF I HADNT RUN AWAY THAT WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED!!"

"What the hell are you talking about!"

"THERE COMING AFTER ME XAN!! THEY WANT ME BACK BECAUSE IM SOME "CHOSEN ONE"!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I DECIDED TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM!! ITS THERE FAULT!! AND NOW THERE AFTER ME!!"

I was crying into my hands.

Everything is my fault.

They're coming after me.

And it's all my fault.

I do everything wrong.

None of this would have happened if I hadn't run away-

"GRIAN!!"

"Y-yeah?"

"What's wrong with Mumbo."

"His eyes... Iskall said that they were purple..."

"Well, shit why didn't you just start with that!"

"Why are you guys screaming in Galactic. I mean there's nobody else here but us and we can all understand each other."

"I- I dont know."

"Yeah, I dont know why Grian was talking in Galactic either."

"Well first before you guys leave to find Mumbo or something, G can you come here and see what this might be."

"Sure?"

I walked over to X's laptop to see what he was talking about.

"What the-"
"Yeah, It's strange. We're trying to stabilize it."

"You do know you dont have to speak Galactic."

"I mean if you haven't noticed I can only speak Galactic."

"Oh..."

The barrier looked like it was tearing itself apart but also repairing its self. Its usually green color was stained with black and a royal purple, making the green barely visible.

"What the hell happened?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out."

"Xan have you seen anything like this?"

"Nope."

...

|Mumbo|

I woke in a cave. I heard something outside but it didn't come in. I looked around to see if anybody had found me. It looked like nobody had but I could have been wrong.

I need something to defend myself...

The dagger.

It would surely protect me from the monsters.

The monsters...



If you can read the Galactic you might notice to small Lord of the Rings reference >:D

"So you have chosen... death.  So be it."

Thats the reference :D

Also, this is a much much shorter chapter than I would have liked but I thought this would be the perfect stopping point to introduce the next chapter.
