Last time...

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!"
Iskall had lashed out at Mumbo, right in front of the other prophecy Hermits. How was he gonna explain now?

Warnings: cussing. Blood, gore

Enjoy!

"Iskall! What the hell was that for?!", Scar blurted, as Grian ran to Mumbo's side. "Yeah dude, what the fuck is up with you today?", The blonde snarled. "You guys is what's up.", Iskall grumbled, before using a firework and taking off with his elytra. "Stupid prophecy... It was supposed to be Architect Bros forever.. not some lousy cowboy-wizard or whatever the hell Scar's supposed to be.."

He found the shore of the beach, before diving down onto the sandy ground. He tumbled down, and coughed slightly. Iskall opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a sob, and to reduce his rage, Iskall screamed out into the horizon, clenching his fists. Little did he know, a certain brunette girl was watching from afar.

"Iskall? Love, what are ya doing?", Stress asked, As Iskall met her eyes. "I-I..", He couldn't speak, his throat strained. Instead, a waterfall of tears fall from his eyes. "Iskall? Are you okay?!", She embraced the slightly taller male in a hug. "They all were liars..", He rasped. "Wha- What do you mean?", She asked. "They lied about the prophecy...",

That was when suddenly Stress started understanding. "They didn't tell me I wasn't in it.. I'm not mad about not being in it.. Why did they lie..?", Iskall choked back a hurricane of tears. "Oh love, they probably didn't want to hurt your feelings..", She soothed. "B-but.. we all took an oath, when we were still 'n elementary school.. t-to never lie to each other..", He wiped his eyes of forming tears. "Oh.. well, if you want, you can talk to me anytime you want. I have to go.", Stress let go of Iskall and flew off.

"It's too late.", He mumbled.

The next day..

Grian, Mumbo, and Scar were browsing in the shopping district, the sun high in the sky, the drifting clouds providing shade. "You think Chocolate icecream is better than Vanilla?! Shame on you!", Scar said playfully. "Nooooo! My priiiiiideee!", Mumbo said, playing along, laughing.

Iskall then approached the three, a guilty look on his face. "Oh. It's you.", Scar said, his joyful expression falling. "L-Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry, for everything.", Iskall sighed. "Why? You're clearly just some jerk.", Mumbo snarled. "I-I'm being serious!", He frowned, upon hearing the raven's response. "Yeah right.", Scar rolled his eyes. "As if.", He mumbled. "Oh okay. I'm always open if you want to apologize.", Iskall said, walking off, before breaking into a sprint. 'They'll never get it...', He veered into an alleyway, spamming himself into a wall, not caring about the pain. "Stupid, they'll get what they all deserve..", He mumbled.

He had a plan.

That night, he had directly messaged Grian to meet as his base. Being the gullible man he was, the fool actually came. "Iskall? You here?", The strawberry blonde called out in the darkness, only to feel something whack against the back of his head. He awoke, groggy. "Hey hello, Grian, God of builds.", Iskall snarled. "Iskall.. was.. was that you?!", he tried to move only to feel his limbs tied. "Yes, duh.", He responded, rolling his eyes. "Now, since you and Mumbo lied to me, I want you to explain why.", He Commented.

"W-Well we spoke to the City of Stars for guidance.. and they told us that we shouldn't try and hurt your feelings.. a-and we didn't know what to do.. so.. so we lied..", The blonde explained. "Well I feel hurt. So it's your turn to feel what i felt on the inside. ON THE OUTSIDE!", Iskall howled, unsheathing his sword, and spearing it into his throat. "You!", he paused, stabbing him again. "Fucking!", Another stab. "LIAR!", He threw all of his force into this final stab, showering blood over his clothes.

His pupils were small, and his breaths were shallow and forced. He tugged his sword from the other's throat. Then, he untied the body, and crouched down, grabbing him by the ankle, and dragging the body across the grass. When he was deep in the jungle, he dropped it, and covered it in vines and leaves, hoping it'd be hidden enough. Until he heard a voice behind him.

"Iskall? What are you doing?"
