----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Fear was something common among all living beings. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the darkness. Fear of the things that go bump in the night. Pix was very familiar with the feeling of fear. Exploring ruins lost to time, threats of curses, of wings howling through abandoned corridors. But this, this was a new kind of fear, the fear of being hunted.
The potion was suppose to work, splashing it on Cub to hopefully cure him of the Skulk clinging to his skin. Instead it server to slight piss off the corrupted researcher. Blue eyes swirled as he glared at Pix, then tsked lightly, “You’re much too bright.” was the last thing said before Cub gripped False. She didn’t even manage to get out a scream as the stuff on his hands started to spread.
It gripped her skin, and that was the last thing Pix needed to see. Turning tail and running quickly, fumbling to try and find his rockets. “Fool me once.” Cub’s voice said behind Pix as the other ran, “Shame on you.” Where were his rockets?! Footsteps were quiet against the skulk ground, crunching over the ground. Each step spreading under his feet. “Fool me twice.” Cub’s voice was distorted over the sound of Pix’s over feet trying to pull out his boots. “Shame on me.”
This stuff was sticky, it smelled awful, it sounded awful too. Pix yanked up his boots from the stuff. He kept running, if he could get to a light source, he’d be safe. He just had to keep moving, Hermitopia was close by, he just had to keep moving. Even in the darkness he could faintly make out the lights ahead.
“Fool me three times... well.” Cub trailed off softly as Pix didn’t dare turn around. His lungs burned for air, ducking down into an alcove, trying to muffle his breathing. Everything hurt, it felt like he swallowed lava. Trying to catch his breath, maybe he’d be able to lose Cub here. Pix covered his mouth, he felt his legs tremble a near jello like quality to them. His ears strained to listen over the disgusting sound of the skulk around him. He could make out the faint sounds of footsteps.
A pause of breath, “I know you’re there...” Cub said softly outloud, “It tells me where you are Pix, and... they want you.” his voice slow, distorted, monotone. Step. Step. Step. “Spread the Skulk with me Pix, the darkness will guide us both.”
Fear. Fear. Fear.
Was this was Fight. Flight. or Freeze was like? When your body goes into pure adrenal, to try and survive. He had just wanted to help the other... to try and safe the server, without having to kill Cub in the process. Pix felt tears prick at the corner of his eyes, he couldn’t cry now, he couldn’t let it out. He had to be quiet, he tried to listen again. Could he make a break for it? Could he escape? Would he make it in time?
Faintly, if he listened closely, he could make out voices. Speaking. Whispering. Hissing in his right ear, right next to the wall where the...
A hand gripped him from behind, it went dark again. The scent was stronger again, the cold feeling on his face like moss after rain. It pressed to his skin, and seemed to spread. Pix tried to call out, but the stuff held fast, it seemed to glue his mouth shut. Running like thick water down his body.
And with it the voices grew louder than ever.
They were screaming, hissing... they wanted something. Freedom? Peace? More?
~Spread the Darkness~
It rang in his head, slightly muffled, but there, as Pix felt his struggles fade slowly, he felt exhaustion take hold.
~Spread the Skulk~
Breath in. Breath out. Easy. Slowly the hand peeled away from his eyes, and Pix squinted. Light filtered through, as the sun was rising slowly. It was... to bright. But he could now see where he was, in a cave area. His hand pressed to the wall, the sponge like material that was the Skulk running against his fingers and palm.
~Spread the Darkness~
It was clearer now.
Everything felt different than before, Pix could faintly make out the soft breaths of another near him. He could... hear so much better. The faint whispers, the pulsing of a heartbeat above him, voices nearby. It was still much too bright though as he took a step back into the darkness. The light hurt his eyes, he didn’t like it. Walking was easier now though, no longer did it stick to his feet and sink him down like quicksand or mud.
~Spread the Skulk~
His eyes turned slowly to see the glowing blue ones looking back at him. Cub tilted his head to the side, and a slow, easy-going smile spread over the lips. Unnatural, not human, but Pix found himself returning it. Looking down at his hands as they were now a blackish-green color, sparkling slightly with eerie blue light.
He lifted them to his face, running the clear fingers over the skin, to feel the texture of Skulk running down his cheek and forehead. Dripping down like water onto the ground. Creating small points of the fungus to grow outward.
“Everything clearer now?’ Cub’s voice spoke, now sounding like it had before.
Pix turned to him fully, and nodded after a moment. “It... feels amazing,” he admits back, his voice distorted, monotone, barely a whisper. He felt... calm. The fear was fading, it was okay now.
~You are one of Us now.~
Yes, he was, he didn’t understand why he was trying to cure this. It was fine, they were fine, it was everyone else who wasn’t. Too bright, too calm, it was too living. “Welcome to the Darkness,” Cub told him as a hand gripped his own, spreading the Skulk up his hands and down his arm. Pix didn’t pull away, just watched it. “Our mission is simple,” eyes met his own.
“Spread the darkness.” Pix said back, “Spread the Skulk. Extinguish the light... the darkness will comfort us all.” he repeated the words in his head.
The fog grew from the darkness, a hand held his own tightly, and it was...
Comforting
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Magic was a tricky thing, it came in all shapes, types, and levels. Some were more darker than others, the make up of ones magic could be made over exposer to magic, could be because they gained an object of magic, could also be because they died and came back to life.
But for some, a rare breed that they were, they could be born with it. Sorcerers were their names. Very few existed in the world today due to them being hunted by mortals in the past. Grian knew how risky being a sorcerer was, though his people weren’t actively hunted, this didn’t mean they weren’t desired. Many hybrids would kill to have something like him. Hence why he stayed hidden, behind heavy layers of magic to conceal his aura. He passed as mortal in all sense of the word, just looking like a simple avian hybrid.
Which on this server was a good thing, considering the other magics he sensed around him. Aura Sense was both a blessing and cursed of magical borns. Suppose they evolved to be able to protect themselves and band together. But whatever the case, Grian put on his best mask to act like the clueless Avian Hybrid to it all.
When inwardly he was terrified.
There were many types of hybrids out there. Most he got along with were people like Cleo, a Zombie Hybrid, or even Ren, a Wolf Hybrid. But these ones were often at uneasy ends with sorcerer... given Vex possessed people often kidnapped sorcerers or worse. And ofcourse the one who he got close to once was a Vex Possessed. Scar was a man of charisma and a silver tongued devil. Grian mostly found it amusing if anything. But that didn’t curb the fear of Grian being found out. Though he could be friends with the guy, he never was fully honest about what he was.
Truth be told only Xisumi knew, but he was admin so that was a given.
Grian walked with his head down, hands in his pockets of his hoodie. Walking down the market place, it was dark out now, he looked at the castle in the distance and frowned to himself. King Ren, pompous as the title was, it made for great amusement all the same. And it made the chaotic magic in Grian flare up, wanting to break down the structure of order and have it descend into madness kicking and screaming. His hands felt cold with the air flowing through them, he gripped them into fists to fizzle out the magic away. He took a slow breath, he needed to head out sometime to let out the magic before it started to ache. Making potions was only doing so much. Grian needed an outlet soon before it started to tear at his protection spells.
He turned away, most of the shops switching on their automated lights now, he felt exhausted. Grian went to take a step but paused as he felt something, just at the edges of his magic range. They were trying to stay out of sight, he turned around and sighed, “Who is there?” he called out, “i can hear you.” he said trying to play it off that he heard them moving around, truth is this person was scarily quiet.
There was a moment of silence, before the person moved into the edges of his awareness. The cold rushed with it, Grian held back a flinch as Scar came into view. The Vex magic rushing around him like an ice storm. Scar grinned at him, carefree as always, “Gosh G you’re good at this,” the grin faded into a curious smile, “How did you even hear me?” he asked curiously with a head tilt to the side, green eyes near glowing in the darkness.
Mind Magic, one of the Vex’s magics, masters of illusions and mind. They used it like vampires do in stories. Actually vampires were actually based around Vex Possessed people.
Grian knew he’d have to play carefully around this, he smiled, “Just thought I heard footsteps is all. Lucky guess.” he said casually, making his eyes look like they had a green sheen to them. Like the spell at worked a bit, even though his protective charms were in full force. Faintly he could make out Cub nearby, as he was walking out of the darkness, though aware of him he couldn’t do anything. “Anything you need Scar?” he asked back to him.
Scar’s smile stayed in place, unsettling to say the least, “Actually Grian, I’ve been meaning to ask you a few questions. Just a few, some... coincidences that just keep happening around you is all.” he said waving his hands, as Grian frowned at that. Though the ice in the air seemed to freeze in the pit of his stomach.
“Oh?’ Grian asked trying to feint confusion, Cub was sneaking closer to him, too silent, and if his focus was on Scar he’d not notice the other. When would be the right time to call him out? Scar moved to catch his attention again, so if noticing it was wandering. He was trying to keep him from noticing Cub? Well Vex’s did work in packs. Unease began to settle in Grian’s chest.
Taking steps closer Scar smiled, “See your Entity is pretty impressive, but it seemed to move overnight to a new location. Honestly just curious how you did that. I know you work fast, but gosh.” he commented casually, the chill was closer, the moon rising in the distance Scar’s eyes seemed to glow in the darkness.
Grian’s mouth almost went dry, he had used magic to move the Entity to the shopping district. But he had been discreet, at least he thought he did. “Eh? Just a busy bee is all, couldn’t sleep, insomnia.” Scar knew he had insomnia when they were in 3rd Life and Double Life. To be honest with himself he was shocked Scar hadn’t noticed anything in either of those series.
A hand pressed to his chest, the cool magic near touching his own as Grian pulled it back. The chaos in him was unsettled, it wanted to flee to escape, fly quickly to get out of this situation. He was being surrounded, slowly, methodically, these two knew what they were doing.
“Look Scar if you need help moving something, you just need to ask.” Grian laughed it off, trying to hold back the pitch of it. Cub was too close, invisible no doubt, Scar’s hand traced up to turn his head back to him as Grian was tempted to look over his shoulder.
Scar was smiling down at him, and... Grian felt fear rush over him.
*Run, Flee, It’s RIGHT THERE!*
His magic screamed at him, and Grian moved.
Arms brushed over his feathers as he moved out of the way, Cub stumbled and near fell on Scar as Grian teleported to the left. Leaving particles of red magic in the place where he was. His heart was racing as he looked at them. Scar cackled laughter, pitched, reverberated, “I knew it!” he crowed in delight. The smile was sinister, dark, curling around sharp teeth. Cub was staring at him with glowing eyes, the Vex mask on his face seemed to have an inhuman grin as well.
“Sorcerer.”
Grian stared at that, fear rushed again, and he was now running. He had to get back home, his protection spells would keep them out! His wings flapped as he took to the sky. The wind picked up to carry him off the ground, he didn’t dare look back as he flew.
Perhaps they weren’t even chasing him, but... did it matter now? they knew.
-
Grian felt uneasy about laving for a while now, he mostly went out with others people, Never leaving the group until he was home again. And each time Scar and Cub watched him, with others they had corrupted, Tango being one of them. His wards held strong, despite how they’d poke at them at night, he was safe here. But it near felt like a prison, he knew if caught alone they’d find out his necklace was his protection charm against their magic.
The look of lust and hunger in Scar’s eyes as he’d watch him. Cub’s own reflecting the same as they watched him.
This was one of the rare days he ventured outside, once he was sure Scar or Cub wasn’t around. Grian knew it was a risk, but he just had to grab something from the Entity, if he was swift, no one would notice he was out and about.
The wind ahead his feathers was cool, gliding over the tree tops as he landed near the Entity. The familiar feel of it’s magic was comforting after being in his house for so long. He sighed and started to restock the potions, something he had been making due to stress.
It happened to swiftly, the edges of the magic pricked at his senses, and then he was pressed up to the wall. “There you are.” Cub said gripping his arms above his head, the mist from his mouth brushing over Grian’s skin. “Pesky bird like you is hard to catch, Scar will be pleased I finally have.” he near purred, eyes glowing almost.
Grian struggled, trying to pull at the edges of his magic, as the spells unraveled for a moment. He tried to summon fire, despite the cold dampening the feeling. Cub’s eyes widen as he pressed forward, and breathed against his neck. Then breathing out cold mist as Cub nuzzled to his neck, “How did we miss all of this?” he breathed out softly, “So much magic, I bet it tastes so good.” he near hissed.
The other hand wandered up his shirt as Grian pushed against the Vex Magic on his own. “Get off me!” Grian growled out, as the hand soon paused at the edges of his necklace.
Cub’s eyes met Grian’s with a sinister smile, “So that’s how you escape us?” he teased lightly, the finger messing with the magic around the golden ball, “Silly sorcerer, no one escapes the Vex.”
As swift as Grian tried to cry out a ‘no’ the necklace was ripped off and tossed aside like trash. Then came the full rush of the icy magic over his own.
Now you see, Vex Magic is it’s own brand of chaos magic, so it’s not like Grian’s own was fighting against this. Taking a moment to notice the threat that was rising over it like a avalanche. It was so cold, yanking him down as Grian fought against it.
Guess it made sense now, Cub was a master at this magic, even if Scar was a dominate. “Shhhh, just relax.” Cub told him gently. “Scar wants you calm when you meet him again, we’re both a bit... hungry.” he cooed to Grian, a hand brushing over his face as Grian tried to pull away but felt numb.
The magic yanked again, and with it Grian fell into a freezing darkness.
-
Waking up wasn’t the best experience, given he woke up to the feeling of his magic being restrained and held down. Looking down at the enchanted cuffs on his wrists. Grian scowled at that, bastard put magical dampers on him. If he had it he’d burn this place down with them inside it. Suppose that’s why they did it, sorcerers were powerful once they were ready to fight.
“Ah, awake.” Grian turned to Scar standing there and his smile ever present, “I had hoped you’d wake up soon. And seems Cub’s invention is working well. Knew it’d come in handy, even if meeting a magical born is... rare.” he eyed Grian up and down.
Grian glared at that, “I’m not gonna break so easily Scar.” he growled back to him, wings puffing up, But given he was chained to the bed, there wasn’t much he could do to stop Scar from coming over. Pressing his mouth and nose to his neck, and breathing in deeply.
A shaky breath was let go, as a tongue licked his neck. Grian shivered a bit at that, his face felt warm. Scar purred nuzzling his skin, “Gosh Grian, how did we miss this?” he asked in awe. “So much magic, raw and untainted... you've never been fed on by another have you?”
Grian groaned a bit as Scar teased his neck with sharp teeth, the magic messing around with his own. Poking at it, teasing it, nipping at the edges. Giggling filled his head as he felt his mouth scowl at that. Hands on Scar’s chest, wanting to push him back.
Scar’s eyes gazed down at him, bright green and beautiful. “Just relax G, Cub and I will take care of you. With someone like you on our side,” foreheads pressed together as Grian stared at him mouth gapped. “the take over will be so easy.”
Lips met his own as Scar pushed him down onto the bed, his magic tangled with Scar’s own. The rush of pleasure and arousal with it. He felt like he was floating as Scar took the lead easily, pulling down his jaw with kisses, before going to his neck. Scar’s hard-on rubbing against Grian’s own, rushing through him with heat that pooled in his stomach.
Kissing lightly on the warm skin with cool lips, before Scar grinned against his neck. “You’ll give me some of your magic, right Grian?” he whispered softly, as Grian felt teeth sink into his neck.
A strangled cry escaped Grian’s mouth, Scar hissed deeply as he drank. Getting his own high off of the magic rushing through his body, and gods did it feel so good.
Scar pulled back after a moment looking down at the dazed sorcerer with a smirk, blood running down his mouth. “How was that our sorcerer?” he asked softly, pressing their foreheads together.
Staring at Scar with a dazed smile, Grian hummed in agreement. Scar chuckled, “Serve us well Grian, and we’ll give you everything like this and more.”
Taking slow and deep breaths Grain swallowed hard at that. The bite mark felt like it was burning on his skin. “Yes master.” he agreed as Scar’s eyes lit up happily at that.
Guess he was already cursed since they found out.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The fight was intense, the group of Heroes holding their ground against the Vex monsters that swarmed them. The fungus like Skulk making it hard to move as reanimated corpses of people, covered in the greenish blue stuff, shambled over to tear them apart. Grian’s sharp feathers sliced through another of the corrupted monsters. A scowl on his face as he looked at the two watching them with smirks. HotGuy was sniping at them with his bow, and Warden spreading the nasty stuff along the walls and ground.
Grian rushed at them as he slashed at HotGuy, watching as the slippery villain moved out of the way. Barely turning to doge a swipe of his own and ducking over Warden’s grasp. He took slow breaths, the power restrained held firm, so that they couldn’t just ask any questions they wanted to.
“So there’s our pesky birdie.” HotGuy teased lightly, “Scared to get too close to us?” he asked teasingly. Grian narrowed his eyes, he’s seen that Warden’s powers could cause necrosis of the skin. Leading to death if prolonged exposure was made. “I'm not a fool Hotguy.” Grian snarled back as he held his sword tightly in his hand. He could a high pitched laughter in response, Warden also letting out this screeching laughter too.
The hero moved back from another attack, it seems the other creatures summoned were busy on his friends. Leaving him alone against the two villains. He wasn’t sure why they were out and about tonight, other than causing chaos and killing people for their little ‘army’. A arrow barely missed him, as Grian twisted and slashed with his feathers near hitting Warden. And he managed to make a slash in Hotguy’s shirt. The villain scoffed, “That’s gonna be a pain to repair.”
The hero just held his ground trying to be aware of both of them around him. Warden lunged for him with a snarl, and Grian managed to barely dodge the hand that tried to grip him. He knew he couldn’t keep up with both of them for long, despite his skill.
“Little Watcher.” Warden hissed out, blue eyes glowing brightly. “Just hold still, I promise it won’t hurt.” he grinned, the skulk pulsing on his face as the horns on his head twitched. It was unsettling, but Grian held back a flinch as he took steps back from the two. They might have to retreat away, the Skulk was spreading to fast, they were out numbered.
A shriek as Grian turned and slashed at a Vex that swarmed down on him. He tried to get away, pushing out his wings. “Watcher! Retreat!” he heard Moon yell at him, and he couldn’t agree more. “Met us back at the center!” she said, as Grian slashed at the vex and turned to run now also. “Where are you going birdie?” a arrow hit his shoulder as Grian cried out in pain, his limbs started to feel numb. The poison quickly working through his system as he tried to flap his wings. A hand reached out, and gripped the back on his neck tightly. “AHGH!” pain consumed Grian as he heard the other heroes yell out with him.
It was cold, slimy, creeping up along his neck and skin quickly. The whispers then started after that, too quiet, soft, to make out their words. The pain faded away at that, actually most of the sound faded. Then he was dropped to the ground, glowing blue eyes gazed at him with a smile.
“Just rest Watcher, we’ll wake you later.” Warden whispered to him as Grian laid on the ground. It was soft, the Skulk often looked like it was suppose to be wet or gross looking, but it actually felt something like moss. He felt exhausted after all that, his limb numb from the potion effect. A soft sound of voices in his head was kind of soothing, and slowly his world was consumed in blacks and blues.
-
Waking up wasn’t as sweet, Grian had an awful taste in his mouth. His face pressed into something soft and fuzzy. He wanted to go back to sleep, back to the fuzzy place he was before that didn’t taste like he ate too many cookies. It was dark also, something pressed up against all sides of him.
“He should be inside,” a muffled voice said as Grian frowned reaching out blindly. His hand hit the same texture in front of him.
“Look Cub I’m just happy it worked, the next is up to me.” another voice said as Grian narrowed his eyes trying to think.
Then he winced as light opened in front of him, and the stuff around him, skulk, was peeled away. Awareness was slow, but he was faintly noticing he was in a cocoon of sorts. “Awe,” he looked at Warden as he cooed, “You near covered in the stuff, how cute.”
Warden... Hotguy... wait the fight! Grian went to move but collapsed forward instead into the villain’s arms. “Woah now, my potion is still in effect, you need to wait for it to wear off.”
Grian looked up and glared best the could, “W-Where am I?” he asked coldly to them, as he was made to sit down on a chair. “Our ‘lair’ dummy.” Warden smiled at him brightly, “We still have some final preparations to do. But it’s spreading nicely all the same.” he looked excited at that.
Preparations? Spreading? Grian looked confused at that as Warden grinned at him. Holding up a mirror now that he grabbed from the table. Grian screamed in horror once he looked at himself. Skulk was on his neck like a collar shape, trailing up to his face and nearly covering his left eye. “Calm down cutie, it’s fine, my Skulk wont’ kill you.” Warden promised gently, fingers trailing over the spots of skulk. Grian felt his mind fade the fear again at the touches, something in his head purred happily.
“Scar here just needs to give you some of his magic to make you ours Grian.” Warden purred back as Grian tried to pull away. No, this wasn’t right, they knew his name, his identity. His tongue felt like lead as the Vex Hybrid moved behind him. Fingers running through his hair.
Scar traced slowly down his face also, “I can’t wait to see you so devoted, answering out questions happily, and being a good bird.” he cooed to Grian. The hero tried to move again, but his limbs protested
He felt tears prick, he was so scared nervous chirps escaped his mouth, letting out high pitched calls for help. A cool thumb brushed away the tears. “Shhh, you’ll feel amazing.” Warden, who he guessed was Cub, promised him so gently. “You’ll forget all about them soon, devoted, loyal, happy.”
Scar’s hand traced over his head, messing with his hair as he did so. moving down slowly to be face to face with the near sobbing hero. The chirps still escaping his mouth, his wings trembled. “Let’s make you relax Gri.” Scar whispered to him leaning forward as their lips pressed together.
A fog came over his mind, the whispers were back, quiet and soft in his head. Slowly he was kissing back, a faint whining in his throat. the chirps fading fro fear to trills between lips. Faintly he was aware of Cub kissing his neck, hands messing with his chest as Scar pulled back panting. “Good bird.” he praised, Grian felt a rush of pleasure at that. “Just sit back now,” his eyes were so hypnotic, both of them were as Cub now filled his vision where Scar left.
Grian couldn’t look away, why would he want too? Losing himself in the pools of icy blue surrounded by an inky darkness. “Let us take care of you.” Scar whispered into his ear as he nodded slightly. He could do that, that was so easy.
Cub made a strange groaning sound as he nuzzled up to him, then started to kiss him now while Scar worked. The skulk on his lips felt nice, soft and smooth, the whispers praised him for being such a good boy. Just allowing this to happen, letting them guide his thoughts.
He was safe, he was happy, he loved them so much.
Cub smiled at him gently, “We’ve got so much planned for you Grian. Scar’s agreed you're going to make a wonderful sidekick to us.” he petted the skulk patches again as Grian nuzzled them back.
‘Just give in.’ the voices told him.
Grian could do that, they made him feel wonderful. And he wanted more.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Grian stared at Scar as the Arch Evoker watched and tensed up. The Vex vessel, known as Cub, was out cold on the table, the disgusting Skulk all over his body. Scar was looking at Grian, having summoned him here by name. A Watcher. They weren't known to get along, Watchers were powerful beings, having god-like magic. Sought after by many magical beings, but hard to pin down due to their cleverness."Grian I need your help." Scar said again as the Watcher stared at him, "I know I don't have room to be asking for something so big from you. But you don't wanna see Cub become a Skulk husk anymore than I do." he said bluntly.Winged ears flicked at that as the Watcher looked away, "And I'm willing to show my appreciation as well." the wings flicked up as Grian turned back to Scar with distrusting eyes."Really?" Grain asked at that, Vexes weren't known to do anything devoted or appreciative that wasn't Vex or Evokers. He knew Scar would be limited in what he could do, but to say he would do something was a big deal. Frankly, Grian might not like Scar or Cub was Vex Vessels, but it made their friendship harder due to different magics, ideals, and desires. But Grian wasn't looking to control the server like them, their agreement was he could do as he wished. being left alone, and they could have the rest. He turned away, wings twitching, agitation as he tapped his finger. "Grian-!" Scar was cut off suddenly by Grian holding out his hand and dropped into his palm a necklace. The necklace helped Grian keep his human form together. Scar held the amulet with the Watcher's Eye in his hand, feeling the hum of magic from it. Grian sighed heavily when he handed it over, not looking at Scar."I should possibly take that off," He stated, "It'd be a pain to try and use magic when limited in this form," he grumbled to him.Scar looked relieved for a moment, "I'll take that as a yes then?" he asked him, just happy that Grian had agreed. This had been a long shot, the only other way was for them to ask another magical being for help. But it's no guarantee that Shelby would have been able to undo this. She was only a Witch, and letting her in on that Scar and Cub were Vex Vessels this early could cause problems.Purpled eyes turned to Scar, "I still have one condition though." Grian said firmly as Scar nodded, he figured there were conditions. Grian looked serious, "Connecting with opposing magics can have ill effects," he looked at Cub now, "if the Vexes inside him attack me in any way I can not guarantee my own won't lash back. It may hurt him if it does, you will accept this before I act." he said firmly. He knew that Cub would be distrusting of him inside his head, Skulk were enemies to Vexes, but so were Watchers. Grian wasn't sure if anything bad would happen, but he needed to be sure that if something does he doesn't get overly blamed for it and make Scar into an enemy. Despite being on opposing sides, Grian did care for the other."Yes I understand," Scar agrees then gives a smile, "but I do have faith you'll be able to help him, G." the smile was familiar to Grian. Of the time in a place of sand and heat, how much Scar trusted him and vice versa.Grian gave a smile back at that, "Always a smooth talker, aren't you?" he teased back lightly shaking his head with a fond smile. The Evoker watching them got the sense they had a long history together from how easily Vex Scar teased the Watcher. "I'm trusting you not to try anything while I'm in a magical trance, as you do like to cause trouble." he chuckled a bit taking a breath."Can you both close your eyes for a minute, the transformation into my other form can be much to watch, I won't go full out, but enough to access the power," Grian promised them, not wanting to burn out their eyes. Scar nodded to the Archmage as they did so. There was the sound of ripping and tearing, it sounded painful and horrific. But Grian didn't make a sound. After a long minute Grian spoke up as they looked at him, he was glowing, having several wings, many eyes, and two wings on his head covering his face. "I'll be entering into a state with the Archmage's help here, your job is simple enough Scar, providing Cub with Vex Magic to keep the connection between us stable," Grian explained to them as he glided over to the table. The heavyweight of Watcher Magic thickens in the air, having come undone at the seams due to Grian's form shift."And I'll bring him back," Grian promised softly as four hands rest on Cub's head, chest, stomach, and knees. Not seemingly caring about the Skulk on the body.Scar nodded to that, now they just had to wait, as he watched all the eyes of his friend close, the soft chanting from the Evoker was heard next... and Grian entered into Cub's mind and space. -Grian opened his eyes, he was in human form again, having used up a lot of energy for all of that. But he could hear Cub's faint breathing beside him. He turned his head to see the other's clear skin, if a bit blueish now, and he no longer seemed in pain. He took a breath at that, and closed his eyes once more.He felt relieved it worked."G? You okay?" Scar's voice asked as a cold hand touched his forehead and then cheek. Grian hummed faintly to that, "I've been watching the Skulk fade from Cub slowly... did it work?" he asked softly, almost in a whisper, afraid to ask.Grian opened his eyes, "It did." he said back in a soft voice as well. "Right now, what he needs is rest," he muttered back.Scar's shoulders relaxed at that, "Thank you." he muttered out, not trusting his voice as Grain heard it crack at the edges. In his faint awareness, he could tell the Vex were gathered around Cub keeping watch. "You look exhausted." Scar said after a moment to compose himself.Grian made a sound of agreement and closed them again, looking around was too much, "Just because I'm a watcher, doesn't make me invincible." he tells Scar in a tired voice. "It took a lot out of me, having to pick through magic unlike my own and the exact opposite at that." the hand on his cheek petted under his eye, he found the sensation familiar.Laying on a bed, the cold night outside, Scar held him close to keep warm. Despite how cool Vexes skin was it did the job pretty well. Times when Scar needed to feed on him in order to help the cravings. It was soothing, something Grian held onto as a grounding method when his powers got too much. Not that he'd let the Vex know that. "I'll be fine with a long rest," Grian promised Scar as he could almost sense the other's worry. Cub gentle snores were the only sound of a long time, Scar didn't seem keen on leaving them either, and Grian was fine with that.After a while Grian spoke up, "I want to thank you as well." he felt Scar's hand twitch on his skin. The confusion was there now."For what?" Scar asked him, the curiosity there, he could tell the other was tilting his head. As if trying to think on why Grian would say that.Grian snorted lightly, fondly, "For not taking advantage of me." he said, peeking an eye open to look at Scar. A pause as Scar stared in shock at that, then eyes softening, lips pressed to his forehead. For a moment the magic was there, but it didn't linger long. Still, Grian liked the feeling of it, despite how strange it was. "You're welcome Grian." Scar muttered to him, moving now to allow Grian to rest and nuzzling up to Cub's side.Watchers and Vexes don't normally get along, but Grian made it work. Because Cub and Scar would always be his friends first.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
His wings wrapped around him, and Grian felt alone in his cell. Letting out pitiful and fearful chimes into his knees. The other cell was empty now, having to listen to the Villager be dragged out and away down the mansion by Vindicators. Leaving him the haunting memory and the cold awareness that soon that'll be him. Dragged in front of an Evoker to have his very soul twisted into something else.Allay told horror stories to themselves, of the Woodland Mansion where these monsters called Evokers lived. They were connected to beings called Vex, a collective hivemind group that was once Allay-like himself. Ones that abandoned their purpose to help, and allow a new type of magic they invented to twist their bodies and mind.The Vex, as they were called.With powers that messed with the minds of their victims. They were said to be ruthless, liking to torture and drain their victims dry of blood. Grian knew the stories to be real but never thought his friend would be caught in a raid, and he sold to a mansion for a pretty price. Grian remembered that day, as he could pick up on them talking about how two Vexes they had would love a new friend. He fought. Kicked. Screamed. Trying to get away, to fly away from them. Letting out fearful chiming cries as they bound his wings and dragged him along. And left him in the cell to cry in the darkness until the Vex and Evokers were ready for him.Grian hugged himself closer, hoping to escape the feeling of loneliness in his chest. Though Allay could live alone, they still did like the company of players or other Allay. A sound pulled Grian from his thoughts as he let out a whistle of fear and shock when the door to his cell opened. It wasn't time to give him food, he knew that much, and that could only mean one other thing. He scrambled away from the door and into a corner as in walked a male-shaped person. He had smooth black hair, eyes a glowing blue color, and the bony wings on his back made Grian shrink in on himself. The smile on his face was twisted, unnatural, showing too white teeth with sharper ones gleaming. A Vex. His eyes soften a bit as he let out chiming whistles back, though they were like bells ending in nails on a chalkboard. Trying to calm and soothe him, even if it only made Grian want to hide away some more."Oh you poor little Allay." the man cooed to him softly, "Master is sorry he couldn't come sooner, but he wanted me to check up on you," he told Grian in a voice he didn't expect from someone like a Vex. "You must be so scared, I promise it's not as bad as you were told."Grian looked confused at that, "What?" he asked back, how could it not be worse than he was told. He shook his head, "No, you're going to hurt me, corrupt me into what... you are." he near whispered the last part eyeing the man up and down.The smile was back, "My name is Cub little Allay, what is yours?" he asked curiously floating across from Grian with a head tilt on his face.Making a face, but seeing no way out of this conversation, he sighed. "My name is Grian." he said to Cub who smiled brighter at that, eyes flashing a bit due to glee."Master will be happy to know you do have a name," Cub said, who was this master he was talking about? Maybe an Evoker? No, Vex only responds to the summons because Evokers are loyal to them. Another Vex maybe? Do they have a hierarchy or was it a kink? "You'll meet Master soon Grian, for now, it's just me. Make sure you're ready for what's to come next."The cold edge to the voice made Grian whimper a bit, he shook his head, he didn't want to be corrupted. He just wanted to go home, "No. No, please." he begged lightly he didn't have anything else to try and stop Cub or this 'Master' from doing this to him. A soft chiming coo at that, ending in a note whistle as a hand touched his face. Cub stroked his cheek slowly, "Now now little Allay, we wouldn't hurt you at all." he promised. "Our methods with our kind are far from barbaric, you will be more than a Slave, you will be Vex Vessel." his voice soothing in some ways, as Grian felt him wipe away tears. Cold comfort really, Grian was going to be forced to have everything he knew ripped away and turned into something else. Cub's eyes met Grian's, they were... pretty to look at. A soft blueish-gray color lit up the area around their faces due to the eyes. Sparks of blue danced around Cub's fingers and flicked on Grian's skin, the magic making him near shiver. Weaving around him like a blanket of desire, he felt calm rush over his panicked thoughts. "Good boy." that praise sounded so sweet, Grian whined he felt strange."That's it, nothing to fear, the Vex will keep you safe during all of this." Cub's voice promised him as lips met his own. Grian felt like his head was spinning, closing his eyes as he leaned into it, allowing Cub to rub a hand down his shirt and arms. Magic laced into the kiss, sending him down into a strange mindset. Where he was floating, vaguely aware Cub was pushing him against the wall. His face felt warm and his senses now alight.Cub smiled up at him as Grian started to slowly come back to himself, "You taste sweet, like ice cream." he teased lightly, "Master is going to love you." a kiss on the inside of his thighs, when had his pants been taken off? Something in his mouth tasted sweet also. Ice Cream? Grian could only vaguely make it out as he groaned when Cub teasingly kissed nearer to his pussy. He felt wet though, that much was there. Every sense was alight, he could feel the hands on his legs and the teasing kisses that got near enough but just not there. Grain felt amazing, pleasure alighting his mind.He looked down at the glowing blue eyes again when he felt like his mind was wandering, not sure why, but it helped focus him again. Cub smirked up at him, sharp teeth that teased the Allay's skin. "Just relax Grian, this is only the first step to you joining the Vex Hivemind." his teeth bit down into the leg as Grian cried out at that. The pain was barely there as it sent rushes of pleasure through his head, licking the drops of blood like honey.Something whispered for him to move, to pull away, but Grian shook his head. He didn't want this to stop, "Please... gods... C-Cub." he whispered out pleadingly, begging for more. Cub didn't answer with more than another swipe of the tongue on his leg, and then lips pet his folds as Grian threw his head back slightly with a low moan. Grian was panting as Cub licked his pussy slowly, carefully tasting berries on his tongue now. Was he... tasting what Cub was? He wasn't sure through the hazy film of pleasure.then the tongue slipped into him and Grian felt warmth pool into his stomach. He was so close, "Ahhh, right there." he whined out, feeling the senstation of magic rushing through him. Dropping him down into the darkness where there was nothing but pleasure. The tongue curled slowly up and down, clawed hands gripping his legs.Grian cried out in bliss as he came, Cub felt him twitch hard holding him in place. Then slowly pulled off with a smirk as he licked the clitoris lightly. Sending a jolt through Grain at that, his face had some juices on it, but he looked pleased with himself. "Master says I can't do more... even though I want to do more." he purred to Grian petting his hair.Dazed eyes looked at Cub, Grian felt exhausted and drunk on magic, a soft whistle that he shakily returned. "Get some rest Grian, Master will give you more later. We don't want to lose you entirely yet." he purred as Grian let out a confused sleepy hum before he was guided to lie down. Cub nuzzles up to his back with soft chimes to help him sleep. Grian liked this feeling as fell into the darkness again, with the sound of soft whispers.-Waking up later had him feeling confused and weak, Cub was gone, and he felt a pang of sadness. Though he wasn't sure why he felt sad that the Vex was gone. Sure... last night was something, though Grian could barely remember anything without feeling goosebumps on his body. Grian took a shakey breath, at least he hadn't been dragged out with claws and teeth.His mind still felt fuzzy, a buzzing sensation running over his thoughts from time to time. He sat there confused by it all, what was going on in his head? The fear wasn't as present as before, instead, he was curious and calm about what was to come. Grian checked himself, nothing seemed different about him, other than the mark of teeth on his leg. So, it wasn't like much changed on the outside. He... he wasn't corrupted... or at least he didn't feel corrupted.The door opened again as he near jumped turning sharply. A tiny hope that Cub had come back, but it faded as he saw someone new. They were clearly Vex as well, having tussled brown hair and many scars on their body. A smile, sharp, dangerous, nothing like Cub's smooth calmness. "So you're Grian... Cub spoke highly of you last night, and said you were such a good boy for him."The words sent a shiver through Grian again, he liked being called a good boy. The man's voice was deep, sly, and charismatic. Grian found that this Vex had his attention the moment he spoke. Then frowned slightly, "Are you Master?" he asked curiously, he remembered Cub saying that a lot.A laugh, high pitched and cackled, "Yes my Allay, you'll come to know that as me. But my given name is Scar." he told him in a purring tone. Glowing green eyes looked Grian up and down, a tongue darting out to lick his lips. Grian felt like the other was staring at so many things. Scar walked over, slow and careful as if approaching a skittish animal. Grian felt frozen to even think about moving away. He was on his knees still as Scar hummed deeply at that, a hand petting through his hair slowly. "You look good like this little Allay." he commented, "I'm pleased you already know your place, so easy, much better than any others we've had." Grian made a confused sound, looking up at the green eyes, finding his eyes grown to them like with Cub. But it was more than that, his head down to his neck and spine was tingling as Scar's fingers threaded through the brownish blond locks. "Devotion and obedience gain you rewards with us, joining our ranks requires as much." Scar cooed to him, pulling Grian's head back gently to make their eyes meet again. "Be a good boy, loyal, and willing and you'll find power and happiness."A soft sound escaped Grian's mouth at that, the other hand messing with his lips. Obedience seemed much nicer than torture, this was much nicer than anything Grian had been told. Occasionally Scar would yank his hair, but it was replaced was him moving in another direction to keep from harming him too much. "Now then Grian? Are you ready to show your devotion?" he asked softly, eyes nearly glowing brighter.Swallowing, Grian nodded faintly, "Y-Yes." he breathed out softly.Scar rose an eyebrow, "Remember your manners Allay, who am I right now?" he asked him as the clawed thumb messed with his cheek.Another hard swallow, "Yes, Master." Grian said back to him as Scar's neutral face broke into a pleased grin. "Good Allay," Scar breathed out, moving Grian's hands to his waist, Grian blinked at that as Scar smirked at him. "Go on, show me your obedience," he commanded lightly.Grian took a shaky breath at that and slowly started to undo the belt and button on the pants. His heart was racing, and he felt excited as he started to pull down the other's pants. Exposing the hard-on that master had a hand that messed with his hair again. "Go on my obedient Allay, open that sweet mouth of yours." Scar cooed to him, as he guided Grian to the tip slowly. Slowly Grian did lick it getting a small sigh out of Scar, he tasted the sweetness again. Then carefully he took the tip into his mouth. Grian groaned at the weight of it on his tongue, as the hand on his head guided him to take it in inch by inch. Scar was groaning also, "Such a soft mouth," he breathed out, as Grian groaned again eyes half-lidded as he looked up at master. One of his hands moved down to mess with himself."Want it rougher my loyal Allay?" Scar asked as Grian hummed at that in agreement. He was pushed back into the wall as Scar thrusted. Grian made a gagging sound, as he was pushed against the wall, and Scar started to pound into his mouth. Tears filled his eyes due to lack of oxygen, and his fingers messing with his pussy. Pushing in and out in time with Scar's thrusts, he was moaning as the balls smacked his chin. The feeling was back, senses alight with nothing but pleasure, even the raw feeling of his throat was amazing. Scar had one hand don't he wall smirking down at his dazed face. Then Scar pushed in again and moaned out lowly as he came. Grian made a sound as he swallowed the cum in his mouth. Taking breaths between swallowing as it leaked out between his lips and master's dick. Slowly Scar pulled off as Grian was panting now, near drooling as some cum hit his face also. He felt exhausted having come with Scar, hand limp against the feel near the juices that dripped out.Taking a slow breath of his own, Scar smiled at him, "Good boy." he praised as Grian licked his lips, catching the taste of cake on his tongue. His throat hurt a bit, whining as he swallowed feeling it burn. Scar cooed to him, bending down and carefully pulling out a cloth from his pants on the ground. Carefully he cleaned Grian's face and gave him a potion. "Drink up Grian, it'll help with the pain," he promised.Scar was so gentle with him, making sure he was okay and taken care of. Lips met Grian's own for a moment, Scar pulled back with a whistling chime, "You did so well." he praised Grian making the Allay smile at him. "I'll let you rest and eat before we begin the final stage... you're doing so well, don't fight it... we'll take good care of you." Scar promised.Grian could only nod, "Yes master." he said back as Scar smiled at that kissing his forehead again. Grian felt amazing.-Grian was pacing, he had just finished eating a while ago, and he felt on edge. Final stage? He wasn't sure what the meant, and so face the only mark he had to show for anything was the bruise on his leg and a slightly sore throat that had faded after the potion Scar gave him.This wasn't at all what he expected, but he couldn't find it in him to dislike it. Each time the two Vex came into his thoughts, he would shiver with delight. The excitement came with it, wondering when they would come back. It was worrying but also exhilarating. His mind wasn't sure what to think, he didn't know whether he should be afraid or not. Those moments were incredible, how gentle and soothing they were with everything they did. Grian flushed into his hands, he allowed them to fuck him. He so easily allow it, and he wanted more of it. He wanted more pleasure, he liked it when he was on his knees in front of Scar. He liked it when Cub would get on his level and kiss him softly. The phantom feeling of sweetness in his mouth, he did hear rumors Vexes like sweet things. The buzzing in his head was like faint whispers now, telling him to just relax and accept it all. Devotion was rewarded here, obedience was smiled upon, and loyalty was everything. Grian held back a whine, his heart pounding in his chest, he was excited and terrified as to what was next. "You're thinking rather loudly." Hands around his waist from behind, Scar's voice in his ear. Grian let out a started bell-like sound, his wings pinned to his back. When had he come in here? His eyes turned to see Cub walking over also to his front and a calm smile on his face."Ready for your final initiation Grian?" he asked happily, a hand on his face as Grian felt like he was melting into it. "It won't hurt a bit," he promised gently petting the dulling blue skin with fascinated eyes. Scar kissed his neck at that, nuzzling his cheek into Grain's hair, "Just accept the Vex magic." he breathed out, Grian's heart was racing, he wanted to be afraid to protest. He didn't want to be a Vex... he... a moan escaped his mouth as Scar nipped his neck lightly. Cub was now rubbing his hips lightly, slowly taking off his pants to expose all of them to the cool air.Grian was pushed between the two, hands messing with his skin, lightly scratching it as the magic overwhelmed his mind. He could faintly pick out the difference between the two. Cub's was more submissive than Scar's, following his lead, the taste of cookies and ice cream followed it. Scar's was dominating, crashing over Grian with a wave of pure magic, leaving with it the taste of cake and cream. "Ah... Wa-" he was cut off by a finger rubbing his asshole and other his pussy, he was shushed softly, lips meeting Scar's as Vex Magic was pushed into his system. It left him dazed, and greedily wanting more. He pulled away from Scar and into Cub's lips now. Another rush of magic that made him dizzy and warm, the protests died away as they slowly prepped him. Carefully lubing up their fingers and using their fingers to scissor him. Stretching him open and making Grain's holes burn with heat, each movement making him whine as they nipped at his skin. Sometimes drawing blood that they lapped up with cold tongues. "Such a good boy," Scar would mutter, "You'll do so well as one of us, we'll reward you well, and you'll enjoy each moment," he whispered soft promises into his ear, gripping his chest with clawed hands. Cub was kissing his hips lightly gripping them to hold him still, the claw in Grian teasing the walls making him whine. "Just give in Grian, let the Vex pull you closer, join the hivemind." he muttered between kisses.It seemed so easy to do, the sickly sweet promises of more, love, devotion, and power. The magic inside him itching to do more than just help others. 'You're capable of more.' the voices hissed in his head.Grian then cried out as slowly Scar started to enter him first, listening to his hissing growl at how warm and tight he was. Easily sliding in with how much lube the other had used. Warmth tingled in Grian's legs and stomach, feeling Scar fill him up. He was panting hard, face a deep blue color. He could feel scar's chest heaving also from the pleasure.They took a moment, panting together, a kiss on his cheek, "Just breath Gri," the nickname sounded nice, "In and out now, you're doing so well."After a moment, Cub pressed to his forehead, "Keep breathing now, we'll make you feel so good." the tip messed with his other entrance. Grian let out a low sound as Cub pushed his way in. "Oh gods..." Grian leaned his head back on Scar's shoulder, "It's too... much." he whined out earning a deep chuckle from Scar at that.Lips kissed him again, "So good, just take it in. We'll see how much you can take." Scar breathed into his ear as Cub was soon deep inside. Grian was barely there, his head swimming between here and somewhere else. He could hear so many voices, all making sounds with him.Then Scar moved, and Cub moved with him. Grian moaned out loudly at that as the two thrust into him. Scar would pull back and Cub forward, then Cub would pull and Scar pushed forward. His body held up between them as they pounded into him. Grain didn't have a moment to think, each movement spinning his thoughts around and around. 'Just give in.' he swore he heard both of them in his head. Scar was growling against him, as Teeth met his neck biting down right near the shoulder making Grian cry out, he came once. But they were far from done, they wanted more... they wanted him to break."Oooohhhh." Grian was babbling out, begging for them to cum in him. "Please, please! I need it," he whined through broken moans.Cub kissed him now, "But you haven't given in yet Grian..." he told him as he kept thrusting. The tone was light and teasing as Grian whined in frustration at that"Just give in, and we'll give you want you to want." Scar agreed with Cub, it was slightly cold in the room, and the only warmth was between them. Grian was panting heavily, hitting that right spot over and over."Ah! Ah! Yes! yes!" Grian said when Scar and Cub hit it at the same time. "I will! Please!" he begged, and as the words fell from his mouth Grian felt himself falling.Something gripped him after that, many types of laughter were heard, it surrounding him. He couldn't escape, but he also didn't want to. Feeling the rush of euphoria as magic tingled through his skin.Grian came again, and this time Cub with him, pushing forward with a low moan. It didn't take long for Scar to follow, sinking his teeth into the flesh again as he came, Grian didn't remember much after that.All that followed was darkness as something snapped away inside him... and he could feel them around him still.-"Gosh Cub, think we did a bit too much?' Scar asked having finished cleaning up Grian and getting him out of his cell and to a bed. He was watching as the other's blue skin faded to a grayish-blue color and the feathers slowly fell out.Cub was helping preen out the broken feathers so they weren't irritating the skin when their newest Vex woke up. "Maybe a bit master, but it worked all the same... much more willing than others in the past," he commented casually.That was true, Allays could be stubborn creatures to corrupt, and some responded well to pain than pleasure. But Grian was so delicate, so eager, it made Scar give a twisted smile at how easily the once Allay gave in. He sat on the edge of the bed brushing away the hair from his eyes. "Another for our ranks." Scar muttered softly, fondness in his eyes, they would be unstoppable soon. Cub snickered at that fond smile of his own as they decided to wait here for their newest Vex to wake up. The transformation could take a lot out of someone, and being first introduced to the hivemind could be overwhelming at first. But they would take it slow, Grian would come to love being a good little Vex.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Grian smirked a bit looking at the two Vex beings as they stared back at him. He could sense their tension and apprehension. The soft lights of the cathedral were gleaming over them, the Vex block that Sausage placed was still there, and some of the colors were changing as well. "Expecting someone differently?" Grian asked curiously to them, a playful smile on his face."Grian?" Scar was the first to speak up, as Grian just gave a teasing wave of his fingers at that. "You're a god?" he asked shock, confusion, and slight tension there in the tone.The avian-looking man sat on the alter with a curious look at the two, "Well you did sense my magic here, after all, didn't you ever wonder why this place even has it?" he asked them catching them gapping at that. "Familiar now? You've felt it for a while in hermitcraft."The pause was thick in the air as Grian shrugged at that, "well now you know, not that I was hiding it... Hello!" he said cheerfully with a wave to them. Silence still as Grian tsked, "You Vexes and distrust, I'm not here to cause problems guys, I've been around you both enough, and didn't stop you from taking over Hermitcraft either." he shrugged passively to them getting up from where he was sitting."Why didn't you tell us?' Cub spoke up first, a bit of hurt in his tone and a hard edge to it. Vexes weren't known to be... trusting of others. They liked to believe themselves as stronger, God-like themselves. Suppose in some sense they were God-Like. "no scratch that, what are you?" he asked bluntly now.Grian gave a small smile at that, sad and understanding. "I get your hesitation, in your eyes, I've lied to you for some time. Allow you both to use me as you see fit without letting it known I was a God myself." he stood up straighter, "but I promise, I'm not here to cause a fight, in fact, you both intrigue me a lot."This caught their attention, "Really? We intrigue you?' Scar was bristling, the vex mask on his face still present. He sounded angry by this, but neither of them moved to attack. Grian walked past them and looked up at the filtered light through the stained glass. "Chaos is my specialty. After all, I was the one who first created it," he said to them, eyes lost in thought. "On Cub's question, I've gone by many names, many faces over the years. The truth of the matter is I Am Chaos." his eyes flashed green, blue, and purple for a moment. For a moment also Grian's face cycled through several other faces before going back to the one they know. "I was the first being along with Order. Melting out from the Void itself as magic swirled together to create us, and from us came the possibilities and infinite," he explained.Their stares were in shock at that as Grian smiled, "But to you both I'm just Grian, I'm your friend, nothing more and nothing less." he crossed his arms over his chest with a carefree grin. Cub stared at that, stories were few and far between, of the two titan gods that created the world. With their blood, bones, and flesh. Whose birth was how the spark of life and death came into existence in the vast nothingness that was the Void. Many believed them to just be stories and speculation. From the two magics came beings, some believe the Vex was the first offshoot of Chaos. But it was hard to believe Grian, the man with a hard time finishing the back side of his builds, was that Titan God. "Are you the same god that created this world then? You can't honestly expect us to believe that." Cub accused, he wasn't easily swayed, another trick. Grian might be a God, but he was not Chaos. Just another trying to gain followers, to be put in his place by the Vex. Scar was silent though eyeing Grian.The god hummed at that, "I'm not asking you to believe me. I am Chaos and Chaos is all that I am." he said simply. "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, it changes nothing between us. I'm not seeking worship or devotion, I'm quite content with how things are." Grian shrugged passively, "You two can continue on your conquest, you'll face no problems from me. I've got builds to do, things to create..."Grian's made a face, "A darn rift to open back up to get us home." he grumbled then grimaced, "I feel really bad about that one." he mumbled face flushing a bit.the two vexes were just puzzled, this was not what they expected at all. They expected a fight with a god, like the one they were expecting from Joel. Grian however didn't seem interested in fighting them or even getting in their way. "That's it?' Scar asked curiously, "You're just going to let us take over without a fight?"Blinking a few times, Grian frowned, "Well yeah, you two are creating chaos in your wake, and since there is nothing for me to do, I just go about my day as if nothing happened. The only difference is you know who I am, our dynamic doesn't change at all.""But are you still loyal to the Vex?' Cub asked, that was the blunt of what they wanted to ask. Grian and the rest of Hermitcraft had been pushed into submission after all, or... so they thought.A laugh as Grian grinned at them, "Look, I'm a freak you guys, I like it when you dominate me. I may not be under the same spells as the others, seeking praises and pleasure, but I will still help you as Grian." he told them with a hand wave in front of him, tone teasing and amused. "Tie me up, take me over, use me up as you wish, I like it rough. Just remember I have a much higher tolerance, and I'm not actually under your control, I just like to pretend I am."That was even odder, what kind of high-powered god liked to be used by others? Well, Grian did say he was a freak. Grian smiled brightly, "If that is all, I need to get back to the building, there is still much to do." with a bow Grian waved to them, "I wish you both luck in your chaotic indevours, I can't wait to see your turn this server on its head... oh Scott is gonna be a massive flirt." he joked. With that Grian snapped his finger and vanished in a pop and vhoomp of void magic. Leaving the two Vexes in shock and with much to think about.
