《The Fallen Council》IV

(Mentions of love! But not exactly shipping!)
I looked into the black eyes of the silverish-brown haired female. I was shocked but relived to see her even though I hadn't expected it to actually work.
"What brings you here?" Quinn asked leaning forwards with her hands behind her back.
"I just wanted to see if I was able to see you again," I whispered.
She smiled sadly. Her eyes slowly drifted away from my eyes. I felt my heart drop.
"It's... It's... Great to see you here..." She managed to whisper quietly.
"Something is wrong, I can tell by your actions," I said quietly trying to look into her black eyes.
"Yeah.. You know.." She whispered and looked straight into my eyes with a sad smile. "I am not alive.. I am just a hallusination..! And soon... I'll be gone... Forever... I was sacrificed and... There's no coming back..! I-I," She started sobbing.
I stepped closer and almost put my hand on her shoulder but stopped right before I touched her. I didn't know if I could touch her and I didn't want to try and found out that she wasn't actually there.
"I-I... I.. I didn't... I didn't-" She sobbed. "I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE!" She cried out while tears fell down on her cheeks.
It hurt me.. It hurt me so much to see my sister suffer.. I tried to hold my tears but it was getting harder and harder.
"I-I wanted to... I wanted to... Wanted to... To... To... I wanted to... I wanted to live... A-and do... Do s-so m-many things..!" She cried.
"I-I'm sorry... I should have been faster.." I whispered.
I started feeling guilty for her death since I had been the one who had found her.
"No, no, no, no, no! Don't start blaming yourself! It was my own fault! Mine! Not yours!" She stepped closer trying to reach me but she couldn't do that since she wasn't actually there.
"Right... I-I'm sorry..." I whispered.
"It's alright," She smiled to me. "Now, there might be a reason why you came here, right?" She asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, I need to make my house bigger but I don't have any ideas," I answered.
"That's what I thought!" She giggled and pulled something out of her pocket. "I made a spare one thinking that something like this would happen!" She smiled handing me a piece of paper.
I looked at the paper not opening it yet and smiled to my dead sister.

"Thank you," I whispered.
"No, Thank you!" The silverish-brown haired female smiled to me before disappearing.
As she faded away I tried to grab her with my hand not wanting her to leave but my hand didn't touch anything else than the cold air.
I sighed sadly and walked out of the door to the warm air outside of the cold basement. I looked at the paper and opened it. It was really nicely designed house, actually a remake of my 1.14 house but just bigger. It made me smile slightly, Quinn had been someone that I had loved so much, of course she had been! I loved all of my siblings and their deaths broke me down, I had lost too many people in my life.
I decided that I should do something useful and went to Sahara. Mumbo and Iskall had mentioned something about Sahara being 'brilliant'. I had no idea what they meant by that but I though that it would be worth testing if it works. What would be a better idea than throwing a baked potato into the complicated redstone machine?
Of course I had to do it.
I threw the potato in and stared at the light that was now stuck in the second lamp.
'I don't think that it did anything,' I shrugged having no idea what had happened.
"Uh, what did you do?" I jumped as I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"ᓭ⍑ᒷリ?! What are you doing here?! You should stay in my base so the Hermits can't see you!" I panicked as I looked at the orange haired female, who was now analyzing the redstone.
"I know. But apparently I got a warning about a glitch in a redstone machine and the item that caused the glitch might have something to do with you," She smirked and continued deeper to the system.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! But you should go back to the house and I'll go get Mumbo and Iskall to check the machine!" I answered looking around to make sure that none of the Hermits came in.
"I seriously have no idea how does this shit even work! Redstone is so fucking complicated! I can only use redstone to power up a tnt with a redstone torch," The female complained while looking at the machine.
"Hold up-" I turned to look at her with a shocked face.
"Don't worry I'm not going to touch it or anything, geez!" She muttered.
"Can you maybe like, get away from the machine, please?" I asked now being afraid that the girl would accidentally blow up the whole thing.

"Alright, alright!" She rolled her eyes and raised her hands to the air stepping away from the machine.
"Hey, is he still with you?" Sherenidy surprisingly asked now looking into my eyes trying to search for something.
"Huh? You mean Xavier?" I tilted my head.
"Yeah, Xavier," She nodded.
"Yes, he's still with me," I answered to her.
"Great. That's what I thought. Mind letting him take the control? I would like to talk to him for a bit," She spoke out with curiosity in her eyes, even though I couldn't see them I could tell it.
"Alright," I nodded and let Xavier take control.
Xavier smirked.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Fallen Watcher Xavier, I assume," Sherenidy spoke out.
Xavier gave her a bit surprised smirk.
"You probably know the situation that's going on right now," Sherenidy assumed tilting her head.
Xavier nodded as an answer.
"Great. Now, we might need your help if we're trying to get our siblings back from the void. And I assume that you know the void somehow," The female spoke out.
The Fallen waved his hand through my dirty blonde hair.
I was not AFK so I could see their conversation and know what was going on. I know that they didn't mind it and both of them probably knew that I was listening. I just had to admit that Sahara's redstone room wasn't the best place to have this kind of important talk.
"Mmh, that's true. The void is not something that you should play with," The female hummed.
Xavier crossed my arms and leaned against the wall.
"Sadly, I have someone in mind..," Sherenidy mumbled with disgust in her voice.
Xavier sighed.
"Mmh," Sherenidy Humm and then suddenly froze. "HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT MY OWN FUCKING DEAL!" She shouted.
I took the control of my body and looked at the female.
"What deal do you mean?" I asked tilting my head.
"I made a fucking deal with a bitch called Sam," She mumbled pulling out her Watcher screen.
"Oh..."
I had to look away. That name hurt so much after all he had done. He was the reason why Yandere High School had ended up with everyone dying. And he was the reason why I had been forced to destroy Evo and kill everyone. Kill Taurtis...
I bit my lower lip as I remember everything he had done. I could believe that I had once loved that man... I had once dreamed about marrying that man... But now... I that all disgusted me more than anything else. I remembered the time when we had actually been something together. Then he had changed and my love had as he did. Taurtis had loved him too... It had hit me so hard when I had found out that Sam and Taurtis were dating. And I knew that Sam was dating Taurtis just to make me jealous, Taurtis had no idea about mine and Sam's twisted relationship. I couldn't believe how Sam had hurt Taurtis just because of me...
At the end I had fallen for Taurtis...
Sam...
My ex-lover...
My new
I couldn't even think about love after everything Sam had done to me. Now I could love anyone like that.. My love had died that day when Sam had threatened me with a knife for fun and at the same time told me how much he loved me. I had learned to love again, but only as siblings. I didn't want to actually fell in love with anyone anymore. I had tried and I had actually fallen in love with Taurtis but- Sam had been on my way and ruined everything again.. And then.. In the end...
He had made me my love...
After that I had sworn to myself that I wouldn't fall in love with anyone ever again. I didn't need a partner because I had my siblings and the Hermits and my other Watcher friends as my family.
Then I was snapped back to the reality by Sherenidy, my sister that I loved very much.
"I guess that I'll have to go and have a speak with him..," She mumbled putting her Watcher screen away.
She sighed and turned to look at me. I met her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to go get him..," She muttered.
I nodded slightly, not able to say anything. She nodded to me and disappeared in front of my eyes. I sighed and turned around. I had to go do something to get my mind off the terrible memories.
I ended up starting to work on the fourth floor since we were probably going to have Zanax join us someday in the near future. I didn't really fancy the idea. I had met her once but I could tell that she wasn't a nice person or anything like that. I sighed.
What a mess had we gotten ourselves into..

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
