     "I had to send him to the void.. I-i didn't want to but he was gonna destroy everything Mum.."

     "What do you mean destroy.?" Her tone was scared

     "The people I watch over.." He shook his head, disappointed in himself.

     "Don't you think it's time to get him out.?" She smiled at him

     X nodded but didn't say a word. It was like that for the rest of the night. His mother gave him some soup to help with his headache but then she left him alone to rest.

     He didn't want to be reminded of what he had done to his own brother. He had to do it, no one else had Admin on the server besides Cub but he passed out from an impact. The whole area was destroyed by the fire he had caused, it burnt down buildings and trees all around. He had to hurt him and wound him. He had to send him to the void. The area of punishment, but did he really deserve the skin ripping, fire burning, knife slitting pain?

     A week passed and Xisuma was packing up to go home. It's been three years since he's banned his brother. His mother walked into his room and hugged him tightly from behind.

     "Xisuma?" He looked down at her.

     "Promise me you'll get your brother out safely" X smiled at her and slipped his helmet on.

     "I promise mum, and when I get him out, we'll come visit sometime" She smiled at him and patted his arm. Soon he went back home.

     Once he got home he went straight to his room to try and access the portal. He put all his things up and opened the code of the server. Unlucky for him 4 people went through the door and into his room. Keralis, Cub, Doc, and Wels. Cub rushed up to him and tried to pull him away from the code. X went further into the code and became transparent where he couldn't be grabbed while typing through the code.

     After an hour of them trying to get X to stop, a portal opened up beside X. Xisuma quickly looked inside and slowly became fully visible. He looked around for him but couldn't see him. Keralis let out a frustrated noise (A rare thing for Keralis to do) and grabbed a rope from his chest.

     "Swish Wammy!"          X looked at him and smiled behind his mask as Keralis threw him one of the ends of the rope. "You better be quick!" Xisuma nodded and quickly and securely tied it around his ankle.

     Xisuma stepped into the void and held his breath, looking around quickly. He saw a red glint of armor in the distance and pushed himself through the heavy weight of the void. He reached the lifeless looking body and pulled him to himself and gently tugged on the rope to be pulled back. Doc helped Keralis pull the twins back into the server.

     There was a clank into the ground and X quickly threw his helmet onto the bed. Wels slowly sat down beside him and rubbed his back to try and calm him.

                  (Xisuma's pov)

     He was dead.? He was so pale.. I didn't notice the tears streaming down my face until Wels sat beside him. He was dead, he was actually dead. It was my fault.. How was I gonna tell Mum.? Doc and Cub stepped back as he twitched.

     "Xanthis.?"      My voice was shaky.

     He groaned and slowly tried to sit up but couldn't sit up much. I burst into tears and hugged him tightly.

     "I'll go get health potions"      Cub ran out of the room. I just kept him close, scared to let him go.

      Later that night I helped him eat. He was so weak it was hard for him to stay awake. This was my fault. People can't die from hunger in the void but it can make them weak where they look and act dead. Did he even know where he was.? He'd usually fight back, I need him to get better and call a meeting for the entire server to tell them the news that he's back.

        A week has passed after he's been asleep. He's still alive, I know because I check on him every hour or two. I walked into the room once again and he slowly sat up, rubbing his face. The void can leave faint marks on you like healed over cuts and faint bruises, they were all over his body. I didn't want to scare him so I stayed at the door and he slowly looked around the room. I had the light off and the curtains closed to his eyes wouldn't get damaged from the light but they already looked faded. He was always misunderstood in school because of his horns and tail. He got that from dad.

         They held me back as they beat him into the ground. 'Hey! Let's cut x's into their faces!' One of the kids screamed with giggles. We were in the purple forest, we couldn't scream for help. They slashed at his tail and made deep cuts, sure enough to leave scars. They were taller and bigger than us both, we were the weak ones in this situation. The boy with the knife held him against the purple barked tree and cut a deep x into his face. He fell to the ground as I screamed and cried. I was scared. They cut into my face slowly and my brother grabbed his ankle and yanked him away, making one of the lines crooked at the end of it near my cheek. Blood was going down both our faces, I was starting to pass out. Everything went from black to different time periods. One minute I was in the guy's arms and the next I was being carried through the forest. Next thing I knew I woke up back in bed with my face covered up in bandages.

     I touched the part of the scar that was uneven. He helped me.. He always tried to help me. He did what he did out of anger. He looked at me. I couldn't move. He slowly got up and walked towards me. He was a few centimeters taller than me. That's what made him scary to me, and his face when he gets impatient.. Okay well multiple things make him scary..

     We stared at each other for a few moments before I was engulfed in a tight hug. I leaned into him and stayed quiet.

     "I fucking hate you.."         I smiled a bit and hugged him back.

     "I love ya to.."      He sniffled. He never cries. He picked me up and carried me to the bed and sat down with me. I couldn't get away, he's too strong to get away from. We would always wrestle, that was until he broke one of my bones by accident.

     We giggled at each other as we were shoving each other back and forth. He tackled me onto the ground and we began to wrestle. 'Boys be careful' We couldn't hear Mum over our own giggling. Next thing I knew I was screaming in pain.

     We stayed still on the bed, just enjoying each other's existence.

     "I'm sorry.."         I looked at him and shook my head

     "I should be the one who is sorry, you did what you did out of anger and I didn't even help you!"      He covered my mouth and grinned. He knew how to manipulate me. He only did that to keep me safe from harm's way. I knew that for a fact. Sometimes he'd just do it to tease me.

     We stayed in the hug for a long while until the sun rose over the hills in the plains beside my house, and yet we still didn't budge.

   "You wanna make some cookies?"      I whispered quietly to him, unsure if he was still awake or not.

     "Later, I'm spending my time back home with you."        I let out a small giggle, kinda glad he chose me over cookies.

     "Well if you wanna go make cookies then we can"        He grinned at me.

      "Nooooo, I wanna stay here, please.?"       He patted my back as he leaned against the wall.

      "I'm just messing around with you"      He took his helmet off and set it beside him on the bed. We never really took our helmets off around people , besides family, because of the scars we had. He put his hands on the sides of my helmet and carefully slid it off. Last time he yanked it off and pulled a muscle in my neck because I had a strap under my chin whilst he didn't. From then on he was careful about it.

     He laid the helmet beside his and brought me closer to him. His cuddle mode was activated already. He didn't show it to a lot of people. He is soft inside when he does this. He wouldn't tell me who the other person was he cuddled with before I banned him.

     The only time we got up that entire evening was to make food. A few of the Hermits popped in every now and then to make sure I was okay and that he hadn't done anything bad to me, which he hasn't. After we ate we went back to bed and fell asleep quite easily. We liked it like that..
