Basically the Hermits are illegal because they're magical, the season changes are so they can't be found. Sorry if I botched your vision.

As Xisuma looked over the supplies, his fears were confirmed. With the new environment and new people, the Hermits didn't have a stable food source quite yet. Meaning...

Meaning they needed to make a supply run outside the border.

*buzz* "A meeting at spawn? Why do we-wAIT I NEED TO GO!" That was the sound Boatem Town would have woken up to. The sound of Impulse realizing he was going to be late to a server meeting if he didn't get a move on. That was ten minutes ago.

Now, Impulse was coming in for a 'graceful' landing, meaning he didn't rotate fast enough and got a mouthful of dirt in front of the whole server. The server jump was rough, okay?

After getting his bearings and the final shreds of his dignity, Impulse turned his attention to Xisuma. Speaking of which, he was talking. "Well, after that...entrance, we can begin. As you all know, the transition to season 8 was a bit rocky. The issue is, with the new environment combined with the new hermits, someone needs to go on a supply run."

'I should've known.' Impulse took a deep breath. 

"I will."

Walking through the woods, Impulse had three words playing in his head on loop. In and out. In and out. In and out. In and-

An arrow shot out from the trees, narrowly missing his face, and another grazed his arm. The liquid pooling around the arrows told him all he needed to know. Soldiers. A third arrow snapped him out of his shocked daze, and he sprinted away.

Not fast enough.

The arrow hit him right on his wing. As he ran, he could already feel the tranquilizer kicking in. It was getting harder and harder to move with every step, and his vision was going fuzzy. An unseen root left him sprawled on the ground, too weak to pick himself back up.

Through the haze, Impulse could vaguely feel his banana-yellow wings getting chained up and his wrists being tied. Then, everything went black.

I'm sorry...
