[No one]
"I know what's happened to my brother," Ethel repeated herself to Dream and Xenex, who were - at least trying to - looking at each other.
"What happened to him?" Xenex asked. He wasn't sure if Ethel was speaking the truth, but why would she lie was a good question too.
Ethel blinked her blue eyes to a weird dead-looking shade between wine red and wine purple. It was nothing like Watchers' natural purple eye shade and they all already knew that her eyes were naturally blue, like they had been just a moment before.
A cold wind brushed past them. Her dirty blonde curls waved with it and returned to frame her now paler skin. The air was turning thicker and it was getting harder to breath. Dream had to take a few shaky breaths, but Xenex had no problems. Watchers could easily pull up spells to breath without actually breathing the air, which also made it possible for them to stay in different dimensions for longer.
Ethel looked at the two males before her eyes. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers sharply. The air turned darker and darker. Dream placed his hand on Xenex's shoulder incase something happened.
Somewhere beneath the darkness, heels hit the flooring quietly, but the sound echoed through the silence. Nothing else was heard, expect Dream's heavy breathing. He was having a hard time keeping himself awake. He felt like the darkness would take him any minute now.
"山卄卂ㄒ 卂尺乇 ㄚㄖㄩ 乃尺丨几Ꮆ丨几Ꮆ
卄乇尺乇?" A person with long snowy white hair and naturally purple eyes walked to their vision. They were wearing a black hoodie and shorts.
"Good day to you too, Sasha," Ethel sighed and turned her weird colored eyes to look at Dream and Xenex, "Don't mind her. She's a bit of a bitch sometimes."
"I don't even understand that language," Xenex mumbled. It kinda sounded like a mixture between The Ancient Nether's Original Language and The Witches' Forgotten Language.
"The Forgotten Nether's Language or The Nether's Forgotten Language," Ethel answered with a simple answer. She gave you a stare to Sasha.
"How many languages even exist if we don't talk about English and other common languages?" Dream asked. He had heard people speak languages like Spanish, Finnish, Japanese, French, German and many others, but those were all common languages.

Dream and Xenex turned - or rather one turned, the other tried to turn - to look at a pumpkin orange haired female Watcher on the opposite side of Sasha.
"Ah, glad you decided to show up too, ᓵᔑᓭᓭ╎ᔑ," Ethel voice was cold like ice, but she kept her cool and tried to pretend like she didn't currently hate the person in front of her.
"ᒷᒲʖᒷ∷," They stroke back, "Of course I showed up when you invited me!" They turned their lips to a pure fake smile. Something was definitely going on between those two.
"Ethel, Sherenidy, please stop fighting. We all know that you both hate hearing your second names so stop using them!" Xenex groaned. He couldn't see anyone, but he was able to tell who was talking. Obviously he recognized his siblings' voices.
"Well, this whole mess is clearly ᓵᔑᓭᓭ╎ᔑ's fault!" Ethel said, her voice was growing colder and colder. She was starting at Sherenidy with burning hatred. Sherenidy's face on the other hand was a pure pokerface, which was natural to Watchers.
"I didn't make the choice. He did it himself. So, you can't just blame me for everything, ᒷᒲʖᒷ∷," Sherenidy said in a monotone voice. Her childish act was completely gone, now she was showing her darker side.
"Tsk," Ethel rolled her eyes and glared at the Watcher. "This is your fault. You suggested it and probably pressured him to it!" She continued coldly.
"This has been going on for hours," Sasha hummed annoyedly to Dream and Xenex. She looked like she didn't have a reason to be there, which was probably true.
"Please understand that I would have never pressured anyone to such a huge decision! I might be heartless, but I care about my siblings," Sherenidy pointed out. She got no time to listen to Ethel bullshit. "Do you have any other reasons to blame me?" She asked, tilting his head.
"You shouldn't have suggested it! You knew he was going to do it if you suggested it!" Ethel snapped and took a step towards the younger Watcher. She was clearly furious.
"Don't expect this to end well," Sasha rolled her eyes. She was already tired of their fighting. Dream looked at her, "Why are you exactly here?" He inquired.
"I'm kinda like a friend to Ethel. Soon they'll explain to you what has happened to your little friend," Sasha hummed. There was something weird about her, but Dream and Xenex weren't exactly sure what it was.
"What is this place? I can't really see what's around us, but I can tell this ain't the barrier above Hermitcraft," Xenex pointed out. Dream was kinda surprising that he had noticed the place switching.
"You don't need that information," Sasha hummed, "But this ain't a world you want to stay in," She continued, which made Dream and Xenex's warning bells start ringing.
"Don't worry, we'll get you out of here soon," Sherenidy said from between her fight with Ethel. They were still fighting with words, no universal language (violence) had been used yet, which was kinda surprising.
"I thought you cared about my brother! I thought you understood his suffering and wanted to help him! Seems like you were just a liar all alone!" Ethel snapped as hot, black tears fell down her cheeks. She felt so betrayed.
"You literally let the Watchers take and kill your daughter," Sherenidy reminded her with a kind of blaming tone. "And Tommy still tries to love you even if he knows the truth!" She continued. Her mask showed no emotions, but her lips were in a straight line. (Even if she wasn't so straight themselves)
"Do you have any better relationship with your family?" Ethel snapped back in pure anger.
The air turned from cold to freezing as the deity-like Watcher walked to the woman in front of her. Dream's spine shivered by the atmospheres change. Xenex didn't even flinch, he was used to Watchers' deity-like powers. He even had those himself since he was a Watcher.
"There's a different between us. You are an adult woman, who has a family on her own. You are responsible and know how everything works," For a moment the whole world stopped moving, "But I am just a child. I'm stuck in child's body forever, because I'm dead. I will never grow up, I will never get a family on my own, I will never learn to be a responsible adult. I'm just stuck in this child's body with no way to grow up."
"This is why I don't recommend dying, I guess," Xenex shrugged. Dream spun around to look at him, "How can you be so calm?"
Xenex shrugged, "You see, we're dealing with Watcher powers here. I'm already used to them, this isn't anything new to me."
Xenex's short speech had caught everyone's attention. Ethel snapped out of it the fastest and took this change to reach out for the mask on Sherenidy's face. She pulled the mask out, making the Watcher let out a surprised scream as the mask ripped a lot of her skin off.
Taking a Watcher mask off by hand was not something to do because it always melted on the skin. The only way to remove the mask was by changing to a disguise, which was usually just a human form without the Watcher features.
The pumpkin haired Watcher turned his purple eyes to the dirty blonde, who was still holding his mask in her hands. His face was bleeding and the skin was damaged, but it wasn't like his mask hadn't been removed before.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't start playing the dirty games now," Sherenidy growled quietly. Even if she could easily keep her calm, now she was really snapping out of her fake sanity.
"This will end really badly," Sasha muttered, shaking her head along with her long white hair.
"You're the reason my brother is dead!" Ethel snapped and tossed the mask on the ground, ignoring the fact that it returned back to its owner, even if she couldn't really put it back on her face yet.
"And you're the reason your daughter is dead," Sherenidy snapped back, "So, can't you just stop blaming me for everything?"
"You ruined his life! It's all your fault!" Ethel growled and glared into the purple Watcher eyes.
"Just because he's your biological brother, doesn't mean you can blame one of his actual siblings from his own choices," Xenex jumped in. He was tired of Ethel's attitude. He knew Grian well and knew he would make huge choices himself. He also knew that Sherenidy wouldn't ever make his choices for him.
"Can't you two at least tell us what happened to him?" Dream asked. They still didn't know what had happened and where he was.
"That bitch can explain to you what she has done," Ethel glared at Sherenidy with pure disgust in her eyes. Sherenidy rolled her eyes, "I didn't exactly do anything. It was his own choice!"
"Just tell them what you did!"
"You can't force me to!"
"I'm older than you!"
"I have more knowledge than you!"
Ethel didn't say anything, she just glared at the pumpkin haired Watcher.
"So, well, Grian made a deal with a Fallen so we could get some help defeating ᒷ∷∷𝙹∷. And now he seemed to lose his inner battle is probably stuck in The Fallens' realm. You know, everyday shit and such," Sherenidy grimaced. "Basically, we're kinda screwed!"
"I think I need an explanation to this," Dream muttered. He hadn't heard anything about Fallens.
"And this is why you shouldn't have come," Xenex muttered under his breath.
"And this I why everyone should learn about the weird magical creatures and their risks," Sherenidy muttered.
"Good for you to say. We all know what happened with ᒷ∷∷𝙹∷," Xenex grimaced.
"It was an accident," Sherenidy grimaced back.
"Aren't we all?" Dream sighed.

(It's 17.8. Haylie's birthday! I'm once again pretty early because clock just turned 12 am :D)
(If I can say myself, I love her hair. I think it turned out to be really pretty, but you can obviously disagree with me if you want to. Also I like her scar, I tried out a new design and I think it looks better that way)
(And she's in Lead Watcher cloak because she was a Lead in the beginning. Nowadays she's a Main Watcher)
(Now about Lee. She was 19 in TEW (2018) and is now 22 (2021))
(5 facts:
1. Haylie is The Council's head nurse and she's in charge of the medical center. Yenny is her student and Topaz Yenny's.
2. She's one of The Original Nether borns of The Council and speaks the original way of The Original Nether's Language.
3. She spent her days in the Watchers' Academy studying healing.
4. She's the 9th youngest member of the Original 29 (Even if I don't think that number is correct anymore because I have added more Originals to the past)
5. She might be a healer, but she's still a strong fighter and knows how to fight with many different weapons)
(Does anyone even read what I write after the word count?)
