(Chapter Warnings: Viper being a dingus. Careful, it may or may not hurt your brain.)

Third Person POV:

Two people sat in a clearing, the grass lifeless and gray. A small creature, resembling a cat, ran up to them. In its mouth was a letter. The cat promptly dropped it and sped off. The ginger-haired man picked it up carefully. He looked over to the woman, and she nodded. They needed not to speak to each other to know who this was from. There was a small symbol of a snake on the envelope that cased the precious letter. 

The man gingerly opened the letter, and took out the piece of paper that lay inside. He unfolded it and began to read.

"Ruvio and Shard,

Boom has made his way back to me, I assume with your help. I'm okay, in a place called HermitCraft.

Its colorful here. Grass is green. So are leaves. Everything has color. I want you guys to come see it.

Im stuck here, you see. But I'm with nice people. But, you know, bad things have happened. It was my fault, too, I caused them.

Allister came. It still wants their revenge. Thats just Allister, though.

Hope ya'll are doing okay back at home. I'll be back as soon as I can. Promise.

-Viper"

The woman nodded. They were both getting teary-eyed.

"She's safe, at least," The woman said softly. 

"I want her to come home." 

"We all do, love. But you know she can't."

They sat in a comfortable silence, hands intertwined. The man let out a soft sigh.

"I know, Shard. She can't come home."

"It'll be alright, love. Viper can protect herself." 

The man nodded. They both missed Viper dearly. 

"She spoke of Allister?" The woman asked softly. The ginger nodded. 

"They wont leave her alone until the day she dies." The man spoke, using the same soft tone. 

"She can protect herself." 

"I know..." 

"You've known her since you were both very little, Ruvio."

"13 years. We were 7."

"Exactly. You've grown together as people. She knows how to handle people."

"Yeah... She has her own way of doing things."

The man looked back to the letter in his hands. "Would you go to HermitCraft if you could?" He asks the pink-haired woman. She was silent for a moment. 

"Only if you could go with me, love." She sighed.

"Maybe we can find a world of color one day," He whispered. "Like HermitCraft." 

She nodded. "That would be lovely."

POV: Viper

I didn't ask when Scar flew into the village wearing a weird outfit. Orange and black pants, a weird suit top, and a monocle. I shouldn't even be here, it was none of my business. 

Days had flown by faster than I could play Howling. I had been here for two weeks as of today. It wasn't terrible, I quite liked it here. But my animals were waiting for me back home. Ruvio and Shard were waiting. It was nearing July. I still had time to get home until Ruvio and Shards 21st birthday. 

Ruvio was older than me by 6 months and 6 days, Shard older than me by exactly 5 months. 

(Idk why I made them 20 but it happened. The real Ruvio, which I will not reveal his real name, is indeed exactly 6 months and 6 days older than me. Lets hope we dont add 6 hours to that-)

 I could make it home by them. I had to. 

Scar's village was an amazing place. The days were starting to get hotter as summer approached. The shade of the trees provided a good place to just sit and chill. 

Allister had not been seen for two days. They were hopefully back in the Graylands. I hadn't seen Xisuma, Impulse, Grian, or Tango since the whole thing with Anxiety. 

The fact that, in HermitCraft, you could outrun your demise still scared me. Technically, that made everyone zombies. I heard something about someone named Cleo, who apparently was a zombie. 

Stress told me about False and Cleo. They were the only other woman here. I would like to meet them some day. 

People here had odd names like me. TangoTek, ImpulseSV, StressMonster101, things like that. Names like mine weren't too common in the Graylands. 

I was lost n thought, just standing in the middle of Scar's village. Were Ruvio and Shard okay? Did they get the letter? Wait, is that note an F or a F Sharp? So many questions. They kept coming. 

Why can you respawn here? How many hermits even live here?  

Some of the questions actually made sense. Some, maybe not so much. 

Who decided kicking around a ball would be a good idea for a sport? Cmon people, its just kicking a ball with style. If you think about it, someone also decided making weird purple swirly portals would be a good idea... Like, cmon, didn't one bring me here? I mean, it was gray... Wait, but what dingus decided to make a rectangle of  that black block and just set it on fire? How'd they know it would make a portal? You either gotta be really smart or really dumb to do that-

I also didnt realize I was just walking around the jungle until I tripped over a root.

Gosh darn shoelaces... I mean, why have strings on your shoes when you can just not? Oh... I decided running shoes with laces instead of without... Oh well. 

Wait, why is the word 'small' bigger than the word 'big'? Who thought that was smart? And, now that I think of it, nobody would have known that touching hot things burn until someone tried it...

Now I was just sitting on the jungle floor. I have nothing better to do. 

Hm. Since I have wings, am I a bird? 

Why would someone just poke a needle with a design on it into someone's ear? That couldn't have been a very smart idea... But here we are. That idiot brought us earrings. 

Is being blind just being sight-deaf? Or would it be eye-deaf-  Hmm... 

If im being quite honest, I am an idiot. But sometimes you just gotta wonder...
