Lost In Time[DISCOUNTINUED]

IV ~ Flashback

(Grian POV)

                                                          ~9 years ago~

The Taurtis-Summoning-Platform was clearly not working. Apparently, Admin magic alone was not enough to summon a Player. Although that fact was not enough to stop me from trying. Finally, after a couple more attempts, I officially summoned Taurtis. Through all my excitement, I almost entirely blocked out the presence of stronger, darker magic. Almost.

                                                        ~3 months later~

Those 'Watchers' obviously don't like me. I don't know why, granted I am a bit greedy, but still! What other reason do they have to dislike me! Besides the fact that I destroy their buildings, statues, and never respect them by any means. I think I might have just answered my own question...

                                                 ~Another 3 months later~

All the Watcher builds feel different from normal builds... Whether it's the ominous part of it, or the fact that I am still afraid of them, I don't know. It could also be that weird aura that emits from everything the Watchers build...

                                                       ~6 months later~

We finally put together all of our clues! We can now fight the Ender Dragon once we have successfully moved into the next version. It would be the first time I have ever fought the Ender Dragon properly. Unfortunately, Taurtis had left us a few months prior, and couldn't celebrate this accomplishment with us.

Once in the next version, I immediately got to work in gathering the materials needed to summon the Wither. Surprisingly, the Wither was easy to defeat. I remember it being a bit harder than that. 'It must just be the version were in. They probably made it harder later on,' I thought to myself. Nobody knows who 'they' are, but 'they' definitely exist, much like how the Watchers defiantly exist.

Finally, the whole group was gathered together so we can defeat the Ender Dragon. It should be quite easy, with all of us fighting it. We all jump into the portal, and instantly realize that it might not be as easy as previously anticipated. We were each fighting different Ender Dragons.

Again, this seemed quite easy to do, and just like the Wither fight, something was definitely wrong. This time, I could feel the presence of that strong, dark magic, more than I have ever felt it before.

After about 5 minutes, I had defeated my first Ender Dragon. The aura was growing stronger by the second. I just wished to escape it. Although, the only escape I could see was the portal back to the Overworld. Without a second thought, I jumped in.

The end credits rolled, and my beating heart had calmed down quite a bit. That is, until the Watchers started talking in our heads. They talked mostly about how much they enjoyed watching us play. Then, they said that 10 must become 9.

I immediately knew that they wished to take me from my friends. This couldn't possibly get worse... until they said that I would become a Watcher myself. They didn't even ask, I just straight-up refused. There was no way I would ever join them, even if I knew something bad would happen if I don't.

Next thing I know, I am watching Evo go up in bright purple flames, destroying everything in its path. Killing all my friends. Everything I had worked so hard to obtain and keep, destroyed forever. I don't remember ever crying so much in my life, despite the feeling that I have.

All I could do is run. Run, to a place the Watchers would never find me. I could hear my footsteps pounding below me, my heavy breathing, and my throbbing head. I don't even know where I was, or how far I ran. The next place I recall seeing, was the little cottage I had gotten on my 9th birthday.

Normally, folks don't get their personal home until they turn twice that age, although clearly I was an exception. Probably because I had no parents, and no place to live.

Quickly casting a special Admin spell that prevents Watchers from entering, I simply just curled up into a little ball, and cried my eyes out. Why me?

After I had gotten over my crying fit, I put all my energy towards building, and Admin things. I became known as one of the best builders in the world, and had obtained the rank of a Prime Admin, working alongside with Viyan.

                                                       ~1 year later ~

I don't know what had gotten into me, but here I was, standing in front of the Watcher Headquarters, seemingly named Rising View. By the look of those towers, you could tell exactly where that name came from.

Suddenly feelings of kindness, and forgiveness engulfed me, as I had apparently decided to forgive the Watchers for what they had done. Having no memory of how I came to that decision, I almost decided to back out, before figuring that I might as well do it, considering I was already here.

Somehow managing to make my way past the not-so-heavily guarded entrance,  I am greeted with a surprisingly empty room. This room seemed to go on for thousands of blocks, and could probably fit the entirety of the Admin Hall inside of it.

Absolutely nobody was in sight, which is quite normal for Watchers. They seem to always be lurking in the shadows, even around other Watchers. I wonder what their meetings would be like...

"Xelqua, what a surprise! We never thought you would come here on your own!"

"Although, we would like to know why you came here."

"I- ah- I came here to... forgive you?"

That was probably the last thing they expected to come out of my mouth. Even I don't know why I said it! After a long moment of uncomfortable silence, one of the two finally said,

"Join us, Xelqua. If you wish to forgive, join us."

A bit caught off-guard, I hesitated on my answer, before finally agreeing to join them. Was that a mistake? Probably. Am I going to regret this? Hopefully not...

                                                         ~5 years later~

These past five years have been nothing but training. The first four were to become a Watcher in general, but this past year has been training to become a Lylixs. Only recently have I been appointed as a Lylixs, the Watcher-equivalent to a Prime.

As the Watchers seem to know everything, they ended up finding out about the fact that I am a Prime. Although, we have a mutual respect for each other, and I was able to continue being a Watcher. I just hope the Admins don't find out as well, they probably wouldn't take it as easily...

For the first time in six years, I have decided to join a server, disguised as a player. Both the Watchers and the Admins approved this request, and I chose to join Hermitcraft, a server I was formally invited to.

                                                          ~1 week later~

Today's the day! The day I finally meet the Admin of Hermitcraft, and my servers mates! The day I can mostly forget about my Prime and Lylixs responsibilities! The day I've been waiting for...

Before leaving to see the Admin, I made sure to hide my aura, or anything that could give away any of my forms. Deciding to wear a simple red jumper, with some dark-grey pants, I was finally ready, and left to go meet the Admin.

X-i-suma was really nice, and made sure I had a good time meeting the Hermits. Everything was going smoothly. Nobody thought that I was hiding anything. I hope it stays that way... forever...

                                                          ~Present day~

Just like that, my cover could be broken with too many questions from my past. The worst part is, Xisuma knows my trouble with keeping my mouth shut when I need too...

And that is something I know he'll take advantage of...
