I was leaning against the wall while watching the brunette Watcher, who was trying to fix the third teleporting console. He had finished fixing the second one around three hours ago. This was taking a lot of time, which was not a good thing. The Mains had a lot to do but this was also important and had to be done. And for some stupid reason there has to be two Mains watching as The Lead was working, some old rule or something like that.

I moved my glare and looked at The Main Admin standing next to me. I carefully eyebowled my newest brother. He had brown hair and red eyes and wasn't really tall, 160cm to be exact. We were around the same height, except he was a couple of centimeters taller than me. He was also three years younger than I was and was the 6th oldest of The Mains. He had been added to The Mains after our dear sister Quinn had passed away. The new Main had been the 1st ranked Lead for the whole two years and was really talented. He also had a really nice personality and was responsible. Blake had his own server together with The Main Admin Upton.

I let my eyes move to the next victim, The Lead Watcher Dexter, one of my best friends. Ever since I had joined the council I'd had six best friends of my siblings. The Main Admin Upton, The Main Watcher Chet, The Main Watcher Kasen, The Lead Watcher Dexter, The Lead Admin Friede and The Lead Admin Reed plus of course my best friend from the Watcher Academy, The Lead Watcher Xenex. Now I was looking at Dexter, the short brunette 23 years old Watcher. He was one of the shortest Council members, even shorter than me, by three centimeters. He was actually the shortest Lead and second shortest Council member since he was only 155cm. He was the mechanic and knew almost everything about those kind of stuff. He was currently the 2nd ranked Lead being right after the 1st ranked Xenex. The brunette was really good at being a Watcher and he knew a lot of useful tricks.

I was snapped back to the reality by Dexter.

"Now it's finished," The short brunette informed while opening the console by tapping the screen.

"Does it work?" Blake asked tilting his head.

Dexter typed something on the screen and disappeared. He appeared through Hypixel's portal again and walked back to us.

"Yes," He answered.

"That's amazing! Now we're done here," I patted my brother's shoulder and gave him as smile.

"Yeah, I have some admin business to attend. See ya guys!" Blake waved before walking to his server's portal.

"Bye!" Dexter waved before picking up his cloak from the floor.

He quickly put it on and hid his, now dirty, white collared shirt.

"You really should wash that shirt," I pointed out smirking.

Dexter let out a laugh. "Hah, I guess that you're right!"

"We should head back to the HQ, it's been a long day," I said yawning.

"Yeah, it definitely has been a long day," The brunette agreed.

We walked out of the portal hub's doorway and headed towards the HQ.

I eyebowled Mao a we walked through the the HQ's hallways towards the library. The brunette eyebowled me back, which was kinda interesting.

"Something in your mind, Meluwyn?" I smirked as I used his first name.

"Who the fuck is Melu-" He started before realizing that it was his own name.

"I still can't believe that you always forget your OWN FUCKING NAME!" I spoke laughing.

"It's not used that much. Why would I remember it?" Mao hit back.

"Maybe because it's YOUR NAME!" I spat and he grinned playfully.

"Yeah, yeah," Mao gave up.

"Btw, did someone find out who had broken the consoles?" I tilted my head.

"⚍!¡ and ⋮ᔑ|| did their best but they found nothing. Now also 𝙹ꖎ╎ and ||ᒷリ are helping them," Mao explained.

"Do you think..?" I asked quietly.

"I'm afraid that's the case..," Mao mumbled.

"Shit..."

"Yeah..."

I sighed and opened the offices door. Mao dropped the books on the table as I walked to the bookcases.

"What are we exactly looking for right now?" He asked.

"Books about the shadows," I answered not moving my eyes from the bookcase.

"The shadows? It's that what their called?"

"Yes," I nodded picking up an old book.

"Is there even information about them?" Mao asked walking to a bookcase.

"Don't know," I shrugged putting the book back.

I let my eyes wander through the books looking for a spectacular book I wanted. Mao was in the other side of the room doing something. I moved my hands to my hood and pulled it down letting my long orange hair fell down on top of my cloak. I saw in the corner of my eye Mao looking at me for a couple of seconds before continuing whatever he was doing. I kept going through the bookcase.

"Shouldn't we go to the library since we're looking for information books? Here's mostly just reports and server information," Mao pointed out.

"No, if we have any information about them, it is here," I answered.

Mao just tilted his head. I ignored him and continued looking at the books. Then my eyes moved to a book called "Criomicia, 2014-2015". I took the book and stared at the cover.

I just stared at the book. So many memories I had forgotten. I still couldn't remember their names, faces or voices.

"ᓵᔑᓭᓭ╎ᔑ," I mumble out my own second name that I had forgotten.

Cassia, it sounded so familiar but also so foreign. I had left my old Watcher name behind as I had joined The Council. It brought back really dark memories that I didn't want to remember anymore.

"Did you find something?" Mao asked walking to me.

I nodded as an answer and showed the book.

"Cromicia? Wait-" I saw my brother froze.

I knew that he hadn't known my servers name, but he know it now since the books cover said my name. Cromicia hadn't ever been a really popular server and people didn't really know about it.

"How are the shadows related to Cromicia..?" Mao whispered.

"ᒲᔑ𝙹, do you know what the shadows are?" I asked looking straight into his eyes.

"Not exactly," He mumbled nervously.

I could see a bit of fear in his emerald green eyes. I knew that he couldn't see my eyes, but he could feel my empty stare through the mask that hid my purple Watcher eyes.

"The shadows are creatures whose soul have been ripped from their bodies, but their souls haven't gotten free and are now stuck in this world. They live in the shadows and that's why they are called 'The Shadows'. They are kinda like ghosts but they don't have any kind of body or form. It is possible that they broke the console and that's why no one can find any clues about the culprit, because there's no culprit. The one who did it doesn't exist anymore," I spoke out just staring at Mao's fearful emerald eyes.

"And I know for sure where the shadows come from," I continued raising the book I was holding.

"What do you mean..?" Mao whispered.

"Cromicia had one system error. I didn't understand it back then and thought that it wasn't anything serious. Now I know what it was. The error was a barrier, a barrier that didn't let souls of the permanently died people out. That means it was my fault that they're now the shadows," I cried slamming my hands on my brother's chest and looking up to his eyes while tears ran down on my face.

The fear and shock in his eyes turned to pity and sadness. He wrapped his arms around me and I buried my head in his chest. He moved his hand through my hair.

"It's not your fault. You were young and everyone makes mistakes," He whispered.

"I know. But everything would be better if I didn't ever get an idea to start my own server," I whispered regretting my choice.

"Shh," Mao hushed.

"Heh, eventually it isn't even the worst mistake I've ever made," I grinned sadly.

     I looked at my communicator waiting for a message from my brother, Xenex Void, The Lead Watcher Xenex. I looked looked up from the communicator and looked at the sky.

'Maybe I should try out The Rookie trial,' I thought to myself.

I had been so excited when my brother had become a Rookie Watcher two years ago and now he was a Lead Watcher. I had always looked up to my brother and wanted to be like him. People always asked if I was jealous of him, I was not. Why would I be jealous of him? I was just really proud of him and everything he had done.

Then I heard the sound of rockets and turned around to see my great friend and fellow Hermitcraft admin, Biffa, land next to me. I stood up from the ground.

"Hey X! How's it going?" He smirked.

"Everything's going well. The Civil War hasn't caused any huge problems yet," I answered smiling.

"Yet," Biffa laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"I was actually thinking about taking the Rookie trial when they're redone," I mentioned.

"You definitely should! You would make a great Rookie Admin!" Biffa nodded.

"Thank Biffa," I smiled.

"Maybe one day you'll even become a Lead like your brother," He smirked and I laughed.

"That will take a long time if it ever even happens!" I laughed and looked back to my communicator.

"Oh btw, did you hear about the teleporting consoles?" Biffa asked.

I tilted my head in response. I hadn't heard anything about them.

"I take that as a 'no'," He said. "Well, someone had broken three of the consoles and The Lead Watcher Dexter had to spend many hours fixing all of them," The blonde Hermit informed.

"That doesn't sound good," I shook my head.

"It's definitely not good," Biffa hummed in agreement.

"We should high up our defenses just in case," I decided and the blonde nodded.

"Let's contact Pixlriffs and Zloy and inform them," Biffa said taking out his communicator.

I quickly typed a message to Xenex telling him to come over to Hermitcraft. He had to come help us too.
