Chapter Text
When 4c slowly regained consciousness he registered three things, the splitting headache he has, the cozy warmth surrounding him, and the gentle hand on his head, soothing the headache. Honestly 4c should have been worried, someone found him, but the warmth stopped him. There were very few people he knew that brought such warmth, and all those people were from Lifesteal.
As he opened his eyes, he tilted his head slightly to better look at the person with him. He was greeted with the sight of Flame. 4c carefully sat up with the help of Flame, and they looked at each other.
“Oh you’re finally awake bro, i thought you’d never wake up.” was that.. worry? In Flames voice. Oh, it was worry, 4c noticed how Flames tail seemed to wrap around 4cs wrist loosely, like Flame was reassuring himself 4c was still alive.
4c looked down, trying to make himself seem smaller, and that is what made Flames blood boil again. Because how dare these people hurt 4c like this. Flame took a deep breath and wrapped his tail tighter around 4cs wrist, grounding both of them.
“Are-… Are you.. feeling alright now?” Ok so Flame wasn’t the best at comforting people, he wished Lomedy was here, he’d know how to make 4c feel better.
4c sighed and leaned on Flames shoulder, “Uhm… y-yeah, I’m fine now. Thank you for helping me Flame..” Honestly 4c didn’t even need to look at Flame to know the blaze hybrid didn’t believe him. However, Flame just uncapped a health pot and handed it to 4c for him to drink, which he did.
“I’m going to figure out what happened. And when I do, I will kill whoever hurt you.” that was all Flame had to say on the matter, because whoever hurt 4c would die a thousand deaths before Flame was satisfied.
Honestly 4c wasn’t really surprised, on Lifesteal no matter what happens they were all still friends, no matter the betrayal, no matter the lie. Mainly because lifesteal was its own breed of insane, people who aren’t part of Lifesteal could never understand them. That’s why no matter the server, Lifestealer’s could always count on each other.
Flame grabbed 4cs hand and pulled him up carefully, “Cmon bro, this cave sucks and you need proper rest, I saw civilization somewhere to the right, it had a lot of blue from what I saw-“ Flame stopped talking when he noticed 4c flinch slightly. Seeing 4c so scared was pissing Flame off, but he knew he had to be calmer for 4c, at least now he knows that blue area was the cause of 4cs pain.
After making sure 4c was ok, Flame brought him back to the blue kingdom. However, the more Flame looked around the Blue Kingdom the deeper his frown got. These builds… They look like 4c built them. How dare these people hurt him when he helped build their home.
As they both walked though the Blue Kingdom, Flame heard voices coming from what looked to be a forge area, while Flame didn’t recognize the voices 4c certainly did because he tensed immediately after hearing one of the male voices.
Before Flame could walk over there and demand to know who hurt 4c, he grabbed Flames arm, “Flame be careful… Nom, one of the knights has a mace..” 4c warned Flame.
Now Flame was pissed, not only did someone here hurt his friend but that person used a cheating weapon to do it? Oh, Flame was going to have some fun fighting that guy.
Flame grabbed 4cs arm again and dragged him over to the forge area, where all the voices were coming from. There he saw quite a few people, a guy in lion armor, a guy in a crown, a girl wearing blue, a girl with red hair, a pink elf girl, and a guy with a flower crown.
As they both approached, everyone there turned to face them, and the guy wearing the crown looked pissed to see 4c.
“What are you doing here 4c? You were exiled from the Blue Kingdom.” The crown guy said in a cold voice.
Flame felt 4c flinch and hide behind him. “Uhm.. Nom please, can we please just talk about this-“ Flame didn’t let 4c finish his sentence before he pulled out his sword.
“So. You are the person who hurt 4c..” he said in a chillingly cold voice. A cold and detached smile formed on Flames lips, “I’m going to enjoy killing you.” Flame sneered with hatred.
The other people took a step back, except for the guy in lion armor and the pink elf. 4c nudged Flames arm, “The guy in the lion armor is Owain, and the elf is Gracie. They’re both knights” he motions to the girl in blue and the guy with the flower crown, “The girl is Shan and the guy is Scott, they’re both mages.” finally he motioned to the red haired girl, “that’s Mae, she’s a rouge like me.”
Flame nodded as he took in what each person was. “That doesn’t matter, if they help the guy that hurt you, they will die all the same.”
At that moment Nom stepped forward, “Who even are you? and why are you helping him? do you even know what he’s done?”
Flame growled, “No. And I don’t care. Nothing he’s done could warrant you attacking him and then abandoning him! He lives in Lifesteal for fucks sake, a place with the clingiest people ever. Do you know how much it hurt him to be alone and abandoned.” he snarled as he gripped his sword tighter.
With that Nom charged at Flame but Flame was quicker, not even letting Nom get a chance to use his mace. To anyone else who wasn’t there in person, they would just see Noms death messages in chat, as Flame killed Nom over and over again. Until finally the Gods appeared before them.
The God of Rouges and the Knight God appeared and stopped Flame from killing Nom again.
“You aren’t meant to be here. Tell me, outlander, what is your relation to my rouge?” Asked the God of Rouges to Flame.
Flame just glared at the God and tightened his grip on his sword, like he was thinking about fighting a God, in the end he just replied, “4c is my friend. I won’t tolerate people hurting him.”
The Gods sighed, “You shouldn’t be here. You must leave this world now.”
“Only if I can take 4c back with me. These people don’t deserve him.” Flame said flatly
The two Gods looked at each other and nodded, “Very well, you may take the Kingdomless rouge with you.”
With a snap of their fingers both Flame and 4c were back in Unstable. “Thank you for helping me Flame..” 4c said softly looking at the ground.
Flame just put a hand on 4cs shoulder, “Anytime 4c” he said softly.
As 4c and Flame were walking their separate ways 4c called out to Flame, “Flame! If you or Lomedy ever need anything, feel free to come to my shop. Whether you need supplies, or a place to hide, I’ll help you.”
