Chapter Text
Era wandered through the streets, looking for any signs of life in the apparently abandoned city...
After escaping that wizard, they kept seeing odd flashes of light and they don't know why. Maybe it was something to do with their now grey eyes? He shook his head as he tried not to focus on it. Era was odd to begin with though, being a shulker hybrid in the overworld, but that didn't excuse the happenings that've recently occurred.
They stumbled across a ruin and heard shuffling noises coming from within so they decided to check it out, what's the worst that could happen? Apparently seeing a strange figure about to step on a glowing thing that they couldn't see? Era quickly rushed forwards to move them so they wouldn't stand on or in it for who knows what would happen.
"Ah!" the stranger shouted when Era shoved them out of the way of the purple illuminated orbs.
"Are you ok Tiz?" Era asked after they had landed properly.
"Y-yeah, just a bit startled, that's all," the person responded. "Anyways, my names Pixlriffs and I use he/him. You?"
"Era, and I use he/they!"
"Oh yeah!" Pixlriffs exclaimed, "Why'd you move me out of the way? Can you see something that I can't?"
"Sorta?" they said, with a faint noise of confusion, "I just saw this sorta glow-y thing and thought you probably shouldn't touch it?"
"Interesting..." he murmured, slowly getting quieter and quieter as he went into a mini ramble.
Era shrugged his strange behaviour off. I mean, who was he to judge?

After a short while of time, Pixlriffs got up from the ground.
"Oh, by the way," he said, "you can call me Pix or Pixl if you want!"
"Ah. I would offer a nickname of mine but my name's a bit too short as it is," the shulker hybrid said in response.
"What about Ra?" he offered.
"That sounds nice!"

After a few hours of talking, they both realised that Pix should get some sleep.
"So, where should we meet in the morning?" Ra asked.
"How about The Ancient Capital?" he suggested.
"That sounds good! See you then!" They said before they ran back to where they had set up camp the previous day.
