*I'm sorry about not updating in a while, I'll try to work on this more. I currently have twelve reqests for my other story, so be on the look out for those. More updated to come soon! :)

I’m messing around with the witches when I hear a knock on the door upstairs. Jumping around I make my way through the secret door and find Sips outside. “Hey! What’s up?”

“Have you by chance seen Will, Sjin, or Lewis lately?”

“No. Strife left a few days ago.” Sips sighs. “Why? What happened?”

“Lewis had me give Sjin a note saying it was urgent, and when I got up the next day he was nowhere to be found. I went to Simon and he said the same about Lewis.”

“Do you think it’s some weird alien thing? Maybe it’s a holiday on their planet and they have to celebrate by  not eating or something but they can’t tell anyone about it.”

“Yea. .sure. If you see or hear from them can you let Simon or I know?” I nod. “Thanks.”

I watch Sips disappear into the flowers, then head back into the castle.

“I’m back witches!”

Days pass and I get closer and closer to becoming invincible. Becoming super bored with watching witches die, I go outside to check on my garden. I pop Steven out and drag him along with me.

I jump over the wall, past my line of trees to the tiny little farm Strife helped me set up. “Okay, you stay here Steven. I don’t want you destroying any of the crops.”

“Hey Parv,” I look up and see Ridge landing next to Steven.

“Hi Ridge, what’s up?”

“I just came to see how your villager spawner is working.” I rup Steven’s head.

“I think Will broke it.” He laughs.

“Let me have a look at it. Free of charge since Will broke it.” I slaughter Steven and we head back into the base. “I think that’s animal abuse.”

“What? Steven isn’t an animal, he’s my demon. He should be happy he gets to leave hell sometimes.”

“I’m sure he’s glad to be home again.” He flies up into the air and I quickly follow him.

“I am a great owner! Your midget people are still alive, aren’t they?”

He follows me inside through the secret door. “You kept those?” I nod.

I point over to the villager spawner. “We borrowed a few of the doors when making the secret entrance.” Ridge laughs, starting to work while I watch, occasionally grabbing something out of the chest for him.

“There, that should work now,” He finally says some time later.

“Thank you Ridge! Do you have to leave now?” I try not to sound too disappointed.

“I can hang out for a while.” He ends up staying over in one of the many spare beds for my cult members. (Yes, I did ask and no, Ridge didn’t want to join my cult.)

I wake up before Ridge and put some bread in the oven. Humming a tune under my breath I go back into the bedroom to make my bed.

I hear someone say something and turn around. Since it’s just Ridge and me, I walk over to him and lean down. “What are you saying?”

Ridge mumbles something. “What?”
“Parvis?” I jump, hearing a voice behind me.

“Will!” I smile at my boyfriend running over to him. “We gotta be quiet ‘cause Ridge is asleep.” I grab his hand and pull him out of the room.

“What is he doing here?” He pulls his hand away and glares.

“I was lonely and-”

“So that means call Ridge?” I shrink back slightly.

“I don’t like bothering you over there. You always get upset.”

He sighs. “You know how I feel about him. Something’s not right.”

“Jealousy doesn’t look good on you, Will.” He stares at me, not saying anything.

I try not to squirm, daggers being thrown at me. I hear shuffling and turn to see Ridge.

“Good morning! Did we wake you?” I walk over to the furnace to check the bread.

“We?” I turn around.

“Yea, Will-” My voice falters when Strife is nowhere to be seen. “He was just here a second ago. . .”

“I didn’t see anyone.” I frown.

“I was talking to him. I wonder where he went? Oh well. The bread should be done soon, then we can have some breakfast.”

~Sips’ POV~

I go back to the farm because this is still my vacation time away from the muddy shit land where my business is.

“Damn it, Sjin. You could have left me something. It’s our week together too.”

“I’m sorry Sipsy. I didn’t have time to leave you a note.” I spin around,  surprised to see  Sjin in his muddy overalls a few feet away.

“Sjin? Where did you go?”  

“Well-”
“Wait, did you see that?” I see something move in the barn through one of the windows.

“See what?”

“Something in the barn.” I start walking to the barn. “Follow me.”

I walk over to the barn and move my hand toward where my sword is. Looking behind me to make sure Sjin is armed, I jump into the barn. “Hey- Duncan?”

The scientist is halfway in a chest, hitting his head on the top as he tries to stand up straight. “Wha- Sips?” His eyes widen in realization. “Oh, it’s your week with Sjin, isn’t it? Yea. . .Sorry. I just came to borrow some stuff for Magic Police. I’m trying out a few new spells, gonna try them on Sjin when he comes back. Don’t tell him, though.”

I point behind me. “Uh, he’s right-” I turn around and see no one.

“Sips?” I step outside and look around.

“Where. . .? Sjin? Sjin!” I look around the side of the barn, Duncan following me. My eyes scan the flower field, turning around to look back at Duncan. “Didn’t you see him?” He must have, he was right behind me.

“Sjin? I haven’t seen him in a few weeks.” I look around.

“He was right behind me. I don’t know how you didn’t see him. Where did he go?” Duncan shakes his head at me.

“I didn’t see anyone. It was just you.” I look around.

“What the hell. . .? I’m gonna go find Sjin. Do what you want, goggle boy.”

~Simon’s POV~

Since Lewis and Sjin are nowhere to be found, and since I am alone on Craggy Island, I decide to go digging. Disabling the Digital Miner I arm myself with all the needed supplies and start digging a hole.

I sing the song of my people under my breath as I dig, filling my pack with various minerals and ores. I run out of torches after a while, and since I don’t have any wood to make sticks, I wander in the darkness.

“Down and down into the deep. . .Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more. . .Hidden in the mountain's core.”

Something shiny catches my eye, a nearby lava pool emitting enough light for me to make my way over to the light blue gem in the wall. “This is like Lewis’ eye color. I’ll have to show this to him.”

I go to put it in my pack and see I don’t have much room left. “Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb. .The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb. .Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom.” Deciding to head back up and dump everything in the computer, I make sure I’ve mined all of this sparkling blue gem and turn to leave. “We do not fear what lies beneath. .We can never dig too deeeeeeeeeeep~

"No! Simon!"
