I didn't expect this to come this soon ;-; welp enjoy chapter 18! Also, this is a bit shorter than I would like but it's okay. I like writing my chapters at least over 1500 words.

|?obmuM|

I lunged at a black stick looking figure noticing it had a cut on its arm dripping blood.

"nonononNONONONONONONO!!!"

I backed away from the figure. It felt like I had a migraine.

Why did this have to happen now?!?!

"Because you're stressed.

All of that goes to me still. Even if im locked back here I still receive all of your negative emotions."

"Not now..."

"Kill them.

Kill Iskall, Mumbo.

You know you want to~

"STOP IT!!

I DONT WANT TO KILL THEM!!!

"Then kill him~"

"W-why-

This isn't like you- you- you would never want to kill him- y-your -your not here are you!"

"W-whos there?!? WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD!?!"

I held my head in panic.

"M-mumbo?"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!?!"

I pushed someone away from me and hurriedly got up. I ran out of Gri's hobbit hole and ran.

I didn't know where I was going.

All I knew was I had to run.

And I did.

I ran as far as I could.

As soon as I stopped I looked at my surroundings. I was still in the jungle but there was a cave. I quickly ran into the cave making sure to obscure the entrance with brush and vines.

I fell onto the floor from fatigue and slowly drifted to sleep, being engulfed in purple.

~~~~~~

I woke up in complete darkness. I felt around and felt someone near me. I sparked my hands a bit to give off a glowing effect. Everything was still dark but I could at least see who was near me. It was Feral but he was asleep, peacefully laying there seemingly unbothered by me.

"You know he's a monster."

"H-huh? Whos there!?!"

"And he's apart of you."

"N-no he's not! He's not apart of me!"

"You're both

Monsters.

But we could help fix you.

We could help you.

We could

Fix you.

"I-i don't understand? How-"

"We could get rid of him, take him away,

But,

He will always be apart of you

HE WILL FOREVER TEAR YOUR MIND

PIECE

YOU WILL FOREVER BE A MOSTER,

AN ANIMAL,

YOU AND HIM WILL FOREVER BE TOGETHER

WHETHER YOUR STUCK IN THE SAME BODY OR MIND

HE WILL FOREVER POISON,

SHATTER,

AND BREAK YOU.

YOU WILL NEVER BE APART

NEVER

~~~~~~

I awoke with a sudden jolt.

What was that?

Why was it saying those things?

I could barely understand it.

I think it was speaking in Galactic?

I've only ever heard Gri speak it but then that's usually when he wakes up stressed.

"I mean he may be able too. You never know."

"aAHaha?!?!"

"Mumbo shut up!"

"The hell! who is it?!?"

"My god you're useless..."

"Hey! Im not useless-"

"I mean to anyone who sees you, you'll look like your talking to your self, So pretty useless-"

"You're the one who came outta nowhere!?!"

I spun around in circles, trying to see where he was. I knew it was him. I knew it was Feral.

"Mumbo you're not going to see me like that."

I grunted in response and got up. I immediately fell back down and just layed there, too tired to get up.

"You're already giving up..."

Feral huffed at me like he was annoyed. It was strange hearing him talking so casually, he usually spoke with no fluency or sense to his words making them incomprehensible to anyone...

Except me.

Im the only one who can even hear him most of the time. To others, he sounds like he saying words backward.

Why am I still tired?

Didn't I just pass out?

"I don't know. Don't ask me why."

I slowly closed my eyes. I was still so exhausted.

~~~~~~

I found myself in a hallway made out of Purpur blocks and Quarts. Pillars were extending up into nothingness, as there seemed to be no roof. In between each pillar, there was a picture of someone or something. The first couple seemed to be different people all wearing the same outfit. Each person in each picture seemed to be wearing a cloak and a mask, each mask was a different shape or color and every couple of cloaks changed to a different color. Everything seemed so pearlescent and white, even the Purpur blocks. I reached the end of the hall where there seemed to be one single picture of three people. Each was wearing a dark purple cloak and a mask. The two in the back where much much taller than the one front and center, towering over them. The small one was wearing a light grayish-purple sweater, had brown hair, and seemed a lot more tanned than the taller two, who both were almost as white as snow. The taller two had purple-colored wings and the lilac-colored halo surrounding their heads. The smaller one had none of these features.

"Monster, why are you here."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Why are you here."

"I-I dont-"

I slowly backed away from the figure. I didn't understand what was going on. I didn't know where I was.

"Xelqua~ Come here..."

I watched as a massive dragon came up behind them.

"Xelqua. Get him."

The wall behind me seemed to disappear, leaving what looked like an endless hallway with gateways on each side.

I started running.

I ran trying to get away from the giant beast following me.

I turned a corner seeing a pillar I could hide behind. I ran towards it making sure the dragon wasn't behind me. I slid behind it hoping the dragon would go past it. I looked around to see its tail right there on the other side, seemingly going past me. I looked back around only to find it right there. Right in front of me.

I ran out from behind the pillar just in time to not get toasted by the raging fire that was where I was just standing. I quickly ran down the hall hoping to get away from it. There seemed to be no end to this hallway, just doors on either side. I opened one door only to be met with a season 6s shopping district destroyed and burning with fire that was either purple or orange. I quickly closed the door and continued running down the hall.

I saw the end.

I saw what looked like the end of the hall.

There was a door painted all black with a silver knob.

I ran towards it hoping for it to be the way out of this wretched place.

I opened the door only to find complete darkness. I quickie shut the door behind me and it disappeared leaving me in nothing but darkness. I felt a searing pain go through my back as something stabbed me. I looked behind me in shock and horror as something that looked like Iskall had stabbed a sword, made out of a sharp vine, through my heart.

I looked down at my hands.

They were crumbling.

Crumbling into small pieces of Redstone dust that just disappeared once it hit the supposed floor.

I took one last look at the Iskall before everything went a purple color and then dark again.
