The Three Voids

Long ago, in a lesser known End City, lived a family who went by the surname Void. The parents, Xackson and Xari, had three children, which the mother all loved dearly. The oldest was named Xisuma. He was brave, and selfless, and would help anyone in need. The second was his twin, Xanthus. He was just as brave as Xisuma, if not braver, and unlike him, Xanthus took many risks. Then the third brother, Xelqua. Gentle, chaotic, and generally a wonderful person to be with. The brothers were inseparable, doing everything together.

However, Xackson has never felt any love for Xelqua. He believed that the young child was ruining his other perfect sons. So, one day, on the child's 13th birthday, he had a group of men capture him and throw him into the end void. Unknown to him, the child survived, after being pulled from the void by a young enderling named Taurtis. The rest of the family mourned the loss of their beloved Xel, and built a beautiful memorial to him.

Years later, on the twins' 18th birthday, a raid happened in their city, which led to the death of both their parents, and Xanthus being arrested for ''treason''. During his trial, Xisuma tried to argue his brother's innocence, but the council was unforgiving, throwing Xan into the punishment void, and banning X from the end.

X, now brotherless and alone, wandered off to find somewhere he could stay for a while. He discovered a group of travelers, who call themselves the hermits, and decideed to join them. They hung out for a while, and the group members seemeed to like him, and invited him to become a part of the group, which he happily accepted. 

At the end of the year, the hermits were preparing to portal-jump to their next location, when the leader announced he wouldn't be able to join them on the rest of their journey. He handed over the admin role to Xisuma, and then the hermits had to leave. Now armed with admin powers, Xisuma decided to use it to try and get his twin back from the void, while still maintaining the server. Each night, he sat in his room, trying command after command, anything to see Xan again.

This cycle went on, work, play, work, sleep, until somewhere in their third server, when X managed to break the code just enough to be able to see what's inside the void. But what he saw, gave him nightmares for many more years.

Xan was in the void, seemingly asleep. Black and purple marks spanned across his body, which were clear signs of pain. X could hear other voices, screaming, but he couldn't see anyone else. Just seeing his brother already motivated him to work harder, to try and get him out, before in was too late.

It took 4 years, but finally, at the start of their fifth server, X broke the code just enough to get his brother out and into the server. However, Xan was close to death, the burns on his body almost too much to handle, and thus he had to stay in the server's medbay for another year. Once he was healed enough, the twins did everything together, never wanting to be separated ever again.

Soon, the time came for them to portal-jump to the sixth server. There, on the other side, waited a young boy named Grian, who X and Xan decided to befriend. The three of them spent a lot of time together, building, playing, and overall they had a good time.

It wasn't until they were on the seventh server that things changed. The twins were in their new base, when they heard a knock on the door. Outside stood Grian, massive cuts on his body and face. X quickly pulled him in and carried him over to the kitchen, where he got out some med supplies and made Grian take off his large sweater. When he did, X noticed that Gri had markings on his body similar to those their brother Xel had. X mentioned it, and Grian told him that it was because he and Xel were the same person.

And so, the brothers were reunited once more. Nothing could ever separate them ever again.
