I glared Sherenidy carefully. She was in a call with Mao, probably. I was standing next to the drinks alone, which made it easier to look at her. She was a bit away from everyone and I was the closest to her.

"That's not going to work," She said to the phone quietly.

I was listening to her side of the conversation knowing that it was something I should know to.

"The Academy's head Watcher is not an idiot. He would start suspecting things if we did that," She explained. "No, no! We can't fuck up things right now!" She continued.

I raised my eyebrows. The conversation was probably about the Watcher Academy situation.

"We can't really do anything before we have more proof that tells about him being behind everything," Sherenidy said.

She nodded one last time and ended the call. She turned around and faced me. We nodded for each other knowing exactly what we had to do next. She walked to take some Coca Cola from the table.

"Was it about the Academy?" I whispered without even looking at her.

"Yes," She answered continuing to get the Cola.

"What's the problem?" I asked quietly still not looking at her.

"Their head Watcher might be behind the cases that involve black magic," Sherenidy answered taking a sip from her glass.

"Ezohr? Is he behind them?" I tilted my head.

"Hold up! Who?" She tried not to look at me.

"Ezohr? The Watcher Academy's head Watcher?" I was confused about her reaction.

Sherenidy, who had just taken a sip from her Cola, spewed it on the ground and turned around. She was so surprised that she looked like an idiot as she started at me with her mouth open. Some of the Hermits were now looking at us.

"SINCE WHEN DID HE HAVE A FUCKING NAME?!" She shouted, still shocked.

"Since he was born, I guess," I shrugged. "You didn't know it?" I tilted my head.

"He's name has never been mentioned in any of the books or reports!" Sherenidy stared right into my eyes.

"What?" I was really surprised.

"How do you know it?" She asked taking a step closer to me.

"He literally told it to me when I met him for the first time," I told her.

I saw her eyes quickly drift from me to Xenex. He noticed her glare and turned around. Xenex tilted his head and walked to us after saying something to Xisuma, who had been talking with him. He stopped next to us and looked at Sherenidy. I noticed that a lot of the Hermits were now looking at our direction.

"What is it?" Xenex asked.

"Do you know the Academy's head Watcher's name?" Sherenidy asked glaring at his eyes.

"Uh, I guess that it's Ezohr," Xenex answered rubbing his hair.

"Why the fuck didn't I knew this?" Sherenidy mumbled to herself and took out her communicator.

"I guess that he never really tells it to anyone," Xenex shrugged and made eye contact with me from behind his mask.

We were both really surprised about Sherenidy's reaction. We hadn't known that even The Mains didn't know the Watcher Academy's head Watcher's name. He had personally told it to both of us when we had been in the Academy as students.

The conversation was now over and the Hermits moved back to talking with each other. Xenex also moved back to Xisuma. I looked at Sherenidy once more before turning around and walking to Biffa, Keralis and False. They all greeted me with a smile as I joined their conversation.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"Hey G!" False smiled back to me.

"Do you know The Main Watcher Sherenidy? You talked to her like to an old friend," Biffa pointed out.

"Oh-," I froze.

"She's a friend of one of my friends. She sometimes hangs out with us," I told.

I wasn't exactly lying. She was a friend of my friends after all, or friend, and friend, we were siblings more than friends. The Hermits seemed to believe me.

"That's actually pretty amazing," False admitted.

"Yeah," Keralis nodded.

"It's not everyday you get a chance to even see one of The Mains," Biffa said.

"Mmh, that's kinda rare, I guess," I shrugged.

"I once met one of them. Her name was something like Edi," False mentioned trying to remember.

"The Main Admin Edita?" I corrected.

"Yes, The Main Admin Edita!" False nodded. "24 years old blonde with blue eyes, right?"

"Yes, that's Edita," I nodded.

"How can you remember her age but not her name?" Keralis questioned.

"I honestly don't know," False shrugged.

"The Mains are all pretty young," Biffa pointed out.

"Yeah, the oldest is Alden who's 26," I nodded.

"Whose the youngest?" False tilted her head.

"That one," I pointed at Sherenidy. "With the age of 15. 2nd youngest is Irwin with age 19 and 3rd is Kasen, whose 19 too," I continued.

"I didn't know that," Biffa sounded surprised and False and Keralis agreed.

"It's not really useful information, I guess," I shrugged.

"You seem to know a lot about The Mains," False mentioned.

"My friends know Sherenidy and some of the other Mains. They always tell me just random facts about them," I lied.

In reality I knew a lot about them. I had been their brother for almost a year now. I just had to lie to the Hermits since I didn't want them to find out my secrets.

I saw in the corner of my eye Sherenidy go pull Xenex a little away from the Hermits. She told him something but I couldn't hear what. I knew that she would tell me too when we get a chance to be alone.

"Being a Main is probably a lot of work," Keralis wondered.

"Definitely," I nodded knowing how much work it is.

"Btw, did you hear that their redoing the Rookie trials?" False asked.

"Yeah, that's kind of an interesting choice," Biffa said.

"Not really," I shrugged.

Biffa, False and Keralis tilted their heads.

"I mean that there have been a lot of news about the Rookies being selfish and disrespectful," I quickly tried to explain to cover my mistake.

"Yep, that's right! Most of them are bitches," I was really relieved when I heard Sherenidy's voice behind me.

"Oh, The Main Watcher Sherenidy!" Biffa quickly greeted her with a nod.

"Admin Biffa," Sherenidy gave him a nod back.

"It's great to have you here in Hermitcraft as a visitor," Biffa told the young Watcher.

"It's a pleasure to be here," The young Watcher smiled.

"If you don't mind, could you tell a bit more about the Rookie trials redoing? There's been a lot of different news and I really don't know which one of them to believe," False said waving her hand through her blonde hair.

"Yeah, the news are all fake. We haven't gotten any interviews from anyone, so they've made it all by themselves," Sherenidy started. "But basically we're redoing the Rookie trials because the Rookies are acting in a really disrespectful way, which is not something they should do. The trials have been do easy and people have done them just to flex with their titles. We don't want that to happen, so we'll redo them and make them a bit harder to get better Rookies," She explained.

"Does every single Rookie have to redo?" False asked.

"No, there are five Rookies we actually trust and want to keep and then The Rookie Watcher Leslie, whose going to become a Lead Watcher," Sherenidy stretched her wings.

"Can you fly with those?" Keralis asked carefully.

Sherenidy looked a bit surprised and moved her eyes to her wings. She thought for a while before answering.

"Usually yes, not now though. They're a bit injured," She answered.

"What are the Council's colors? I have forgotten them," Scar asked joining the conversation with Tango.

"Oh shit," Sherenidy mumble.

"The Mains' are purple and gold, The Leads' is blue, The Rookies' is red and The Normals' is green," I said.

"What?" Sherenidy looked confused. "Wait- yes, you're right," She corrected.

"Shouldn't you be the one who has to remember them?" I asked her jokingly.

She laughed. "It's usually Mao's job to remember the colors, I have to remember everyone's names," She sighed.

"Sounds like a hard task," Tango pointed out.

"Yeah, there are 12 Mains, 13 Leads and over 50 Rookies, plus the normal Admins and Watchers. Oh, and the Rookie trials will be redone and then there's more names to remember," Sherenidy listed.

"I can remember just some of the Mains," Scar said.

"I can remember The Mains and The Leads and most of The Rookies," I told.

"Tell all of the Mains from oldest to youngest," Sherenidy smirked.

"Easy! Alden, Chet, Xelqua, Zenith, Mindstorm, Edita, Winslow, Blake, Godiva, Quinn, Upton, Mao, Kasen, Irwin and Sherenidy," I listed easily.

The Hermits looked surprised. Sherenidy just smirked.

"Then the Leads from oldest to youngest," She continued.

I grinned but listed them, "Xenex, Van, Peyton, Friede, Jaylee, Dexter, Tatton, Reed, Ned, Haylie, Leslie, Lyndon and Yenny."

"That's correct," I heard Xenex's voice behind me and turned around.

"Look who decided to join our conversation," I joked.

The conversation continued for a couple of hours and more Hermits joined too. Then the party came to it's end and everyone went back to their bases. We said byes to our visitors who went back to The Main HQ. I went back to my base and took our my communicator.

¬Sherenidy¬

Xelqua
I saw you talking with Zen at
the party. Was it something
(23.32) important?

Sherenidy
Yeah, it was about Ezohr.
We found some more information
about him after you told his name. (23.33)
A "friend" of mine, a bitch called
Zanax knew that he has past with
dark magics... (23.34)
It's definitely useful information and
now we know that he definitely has
something to do with the Academy-case. (23.36)

Xelqua
Are we going to have a
(23.37) meeting about this?

Sherenidy
Only between The Mains
and The Leads. (23.37)
Mao will inform about that
after the Christmas break. (23.38)

Xelqua
(23.38) Okay

I closed my community and laid on my bed. We were definitely going to have a lot of work after Christmas. I didn't like the idea. It meant more paperwork and I didn't like doing a lot off paperwork, it was annoying.

I looked at the ceiling of my base. I had to also finish my base at some point. And also the Civil War was a thing. I sighed and closed my eyes.

     I opened my eyes as the sunlight came through the window and shined to my eyes. I looked at my alarm, it was 11.09. I had kinda slept in, but there wasn't really anything I had to do today. Except the Christmas party with my siblings but it started at 19.30. I had a lot of time before the party. The Civil War was still on hold through the Christmas so I didn't have anything to worry about right now. I decided that it would be a great chance to work on my base.

I got up and walked to my chest monster to find some blocks I could work with. I found some white concrete and decided to use it and some other blocks. Then I saw something in the corner of my eye. I walked to the chest and looked inside.

I felt the panic raising inside me as I looked into the chest. I fell backwards and started sobbing furiously. It wasn't something I had wanted to find from my base...

Words:1942

(Another character done! A few more to go, but don't worry there will be second part of this book!)

(Also right now I'm on a way to Lapland so I might not have that much time to write in a couple of days but the next chapter will come out soon, bye!)
