Hello There
_________________________________________

Location; Hermitcraft

POV; Xisumavoid

I lash out with my sword one last time in an impressive arc, finishing off the last of the zombie wave that was attacking me.

I glance up at the midnight sky and watch as phantoms start to circle from above and dive down towards me.

I brace myself and raise my sword as the phantoms swoop down while screeching. Their fangs glisten in the moon light right before they attack.

I swipe my sword up, hitting a few of them in the process of their own attack. One of the phantoms some how dodged my attack though and managed to bite my arm.

I hiss out loud and try to strike at the phantom that caused me harm. Unfortunately it was already back up in the sky, preparing for another dive and attack.

I glance down at my fore arm were the bite is and don't see to much damage. Thankfully my armor was able to protect me from most of the damage delt by the phantom bite.

It did however drop me down a few hearts. I pull out a cooked beef steak and eat that so I could heal up while watching the skies for when the phantoms will return.

I don't have to wait long, because before I know it, there are five phantoms swooping down upon me.

I pull my sheild out of my inventory and use it to block the attacks from them while trying to fight back with my own attack.

While they fly back up to get more momentum to dive down again, I quickly pull out my communicator and start to type in Main Chat.

<Xisuma> Help. Can anyone sleep?

<Iskall85> sure, give me a moment.

Iskall85 went to bed, sweet dreams!

<Xisuma> Thanks Iskall

<Iskall85> np

I glance back up at the sky to watch the phantoms start to burn in the early morning sunlight.

"Phew." I sigh in relief. I could have died there. Thank goodness Iskall could sleep to save me.

I walk around the grassy area picking up the exp orbs and phantom membranes.

Not long after I finish that, my communicator buzzes with the notification of a message.

I lift my wrist up again and read the message, which was from Tango.

<TangoTek> Hey X, just wanted to check in about when you're going to the meeting today as our servers representative.

'Meeting? OH! The Admin meeting, I can't believe I almost forgot about that.'

<Xisuma> Hello Tango, the meeting isn't till 9:00 am.

<TangoTek> Um, that's in 15 minutes.

<Xisuma> What! I've got to go. See ya Tango!

<TangoTek> Lol Bye!

I exit out of the private chat with Tango and look to see my most recent updates for the meetings.

As it turns out, Tango was correct. I had to be there soon. Sometimes one can forget how time works here.

I quickly reach my hands out forward and summon some magic to them. As I commanded, a portal leading to the MainHub appeared.

Once the portal is complete, I stop the flow of magic and rush through the portal. The familiar feeling of drifting away soon overcame me and I wooshed away. The portal vanishing behind me.

Soon, my senses return and I walk out of the portal into the MainHub. The place is filled with Admins and Players alike. Even the occasional Hybrid is seen throughout the crowd.

"Oh! XisumaVoid. What a pleasant surprise!"

I turn to face the direction of where the voice came from. The moment I see who spoke, my eyes light up with joy from behind my visor.

"Biffa! It's been so long mate. How are you?" I ask him. We used to play together out in my server. He still sometimes comes around, but not often.

"I've been great! I went back to the University and got my powers to rank 3!" He exclaims while showing off his pink Admin mark on his hand.

"That's amazing!" I say. Now we are finally at the same level.

Buffa was about to say something more when we both get a notification from our wrist bands.

<Attention Admins, all servers are> required to have at least one Admin present, unless otherwise specified. The <meeting will begin in 10 minutes.>

I look back up at Biffa who was starting to jog down the path to the meeting room.

"Come on X, don't want to be late." He calls for me.

I quickly chase after him all way down the corridors. We pass many other Players and Admins. I accidentally bump into someone in my rush.

"Hey! Watch it!" The startled Player said. They were wearing a red and white shirt with blue jeans. They had blonde hair snd blue eyes.

"Oh, pardon me." I apologize to them after I had stop to turn and face the Player.

"Humph" The Player said, before turning around and walking off.

I shrugged and turned back to follow after Biffa, who had stopped by a statue.
Upon further inspection as I got closer, I noticed it wasn't just any statue, it was the statue of the fallen Prime Admin.

"It's sad isn't it." Biffa sighed.

I nod my head in reply. The Prime Admin had gone out on a mission one day, only to never return. That was 5 years ago.

We both stand there for a moment, giving our respects. My communicator vibrates all of a sudden, making my jump a little.

<Admin meeting in 5 minutes.>

'Yikes!' I look up quickly to see that biffs too, got the smell message. We both then dash off in the direction of the meeting room.

We soon approach the grand double doors of the room and slowly push them open. I enter the room with Biffa right behind me.

It always shocks me just how many Admins there are at these meetings now a days.

The room was very similar to a conference auditorium, except instead of a stage, there was a table where the Primes will sit at.

The back wall also had 6 giant windows reaching from the floor to the ceiling. Three were on one side, and the others on the opposite side.

The room was packed, each of the 3 sections, going from top to bottom were almost completely full.

Me and Biffa both walk down to our seats which are in the middle section. The back/top section is for new Admins. While the one infront of us is for orange.

The last rank, which is gold, has their own seating arrangement in the center back of the room.

I scooch past a few other Admins and reach the seat with my name on it. I sit down and my communicator vibrates, sending a notification of my presence.

Biffa was seated in the row behind me. He leans forward amd whispers to me. "That was close." He laughs.

I roll my eyes and smile. "Yeah, to close." I whisper back at him.

Just after Biffa snickers at my reply, a small golden sparkle appears in the front of the table for the Prime Admins.

The room instantly quiets down from the whispers of other Admins as all attention is drawn to the ever growing sparkle.

In no time at all, the sparkles shined brighter, then disappeared. In their place, the Prime Admins stood. Their golden wings held in a way that let the feathers sparkle and shine slightly.

They walked back around to sit behind their table. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen. We're both glad you could be here today. We have some very urgent matters to discuss." Libra Skyward said.

She was the younger of the two, but don't let that fool you. She was just as talented as the other Prime.

Libra was most recognizable for her galaxy zipper up hoodie that she left unzipped with a black t-shirt underneath. She wore simple jeans with black combat boots to complete the look.

The other Prime was Sk1pthetutorial, who normally just went by Skip. He was most recognizable by his bright red clothing.

Skip wasn't exactly an Admim per say, but he made great tutorials on different things about the world we live in called Minecraft.

"As you all know, we are all currently in the middle of a vast war against the Watchers." Skip said.

"Recently, one of our scouts as notified us of the Watcher cadets that recently completed their training." Libra says.

"Now, the new Watcher cadets have undoubtedly been assigned to different servers to destroy." Skip says.

The room goes silent. The Admins, including me, all awaiting what the Primes will say next.

"Before you all panic, there is a way to get rid of the Watcher or Watchers in your server." Libra says.

"We have worked together and created a mod that will slowly start to corrupt the Watchers code, and eventually kill them." Skip says.

The Admins throughout the room start to cheer. And they have all the right to, the problems with the Watchers are one step closer to being solved.

Unlike them, my blood drained from my head all the way down to my toes. A nervous sweet forms on my brow and I start to fiddle with my fingers in my lap.

"After we have discussed the other important issues for today's meeting, we will help you all install the mod on your servers." Libra says.

A chill runs through my body. I look down at my hands in my lap. I have to get out of here. If they find out...'

POV; Grian

"There, all finished." I sigh to myself while wiping the sweat from my forehead.

I've just finished boxing some sand and gravel and then restocking it in my shop. I've been making lots of sales recently and I was running low.

I pick up the now empty shulker boxes and place them into my inventory. I then grab a stack of rockets and ready myself to take off towards my base.

Just as I was about to activate one of the rockets, my communicator buzzes. I lift my wrist and check the notification.

<Xisuma joined the server>

<Grian> Welcome back!

<Tango> Hello!

I exit out of Chat and prepare to fly off again. The rocket ignites and I'm shot up into the sky. I skillfully activate my elytra and fly in the direction of my base.

The magnificent futuristic cake appears in the distance as I get closer. I use a few more rockets and fly around my build in a downward spiral.

Just as I'm about to hit the ground, I activate some rockets and fly straight back up.

As I look up, I notice the fact that the sky has started to grow dark. 'Hmm, it's probably going to rain soon.' I think to myself.

I quickly reach the top of my base, definitely not because I used an embarrassing amount of rockets.

I spread the wings out and glide for a bit. Just then, a flash of lightning strikes the top of my base.

The light throws me off balance and I accidentally deactivate my elytra causing me to start falling.

I catch myself soon though, right as the sound of the thunder booms in the distance.

Before long, lightning flashes and thunder are seen and heard as far as I can see.

I make a beeline to my base and quickly dive towards the entrance. The pouring rain doesn't help in the slightest as I fly as quickly as possible.

Soon, I  reach the entrance and land on the bottom level. I pull off my soaked elytra and set it somewhere to dry.

I grab a towel and start to dry myself off, while listening to the pouring rain and thunder for outside.

Suddenly, I hear a different sound. Almost as if a chest was tipped over and lost its contents.

I slowly spun in a circle, looking around the room. Nothing appears out of the ordinary.

I shrug and turn back to what I was doing. 'Wait...'

I quickly glance up and sure enough, I catch a small glimpse of a figure dashing behind a wall.

I continue staring at the spot. I know I have my sword, and a sheild in my hotbar.

'What about magic? No, that's out of the question. If a Hermit found out about me being a Watcher, they would send me to the Admins and I would be done for.'

Just as I finish my little argument in my head, the figure moves. Right before me now, off in the dark, is a pair of glowing red eyes.
