Chapter Text
I woke up.
ok so maybe I should start from the beginning...
I woke up in a new place. I didn't recognize this place, but it felt like I had been here before. I sat up and looked around.
I was in a somewhat big room. a few dark grey feathers near the door was the first thing I saw. there was a yellow carpet on the floor. I saw a lamp next to a table that had an open book on it. above it I saw a picture. in the picture was a woman with long black hair, an older man with blonde hair, a middle-aged man with pink hair, another middle-aged man with brown hair, and lastly a teenage boy with blonde hair. they all looked happy besides the pink haired male he looked as if he was forced into the photo. I looked at the wall next to me. I saw a guitar on a stand and a blue substance on the floor. I saw a few chests in the corner. I saw a brown trench coat in the closet and a few yellow shirts and white button ups. I saw a mannequin and it has some sort of uniform on it next to me.
'I want to go explore' I thought to myself, so I crawled to the edge of the bed and placed my feet on the floor and stood up...
and I immediately fell.
"⌇⊑⍜⍜⏁!" I yelled.
I suddenly heard fast approaching footsteps almost running to the door blocking me from seeing what was outside of this room. I tried to get up as the door opened. I looked up and saw the older blonde man from the picture on the wall. he looked back at me almost frightened.
we looked at each other for some time before I tried to wave hello at the man.
he waved back.
"⎅⍜ ⊬⍜⎍ ⏁⊑⟟⋏☍ ⊬⍜⎍ ☊⏃⋏ ⊑⟒⌰⌿ ⋔⟒ ⎍⌿?" I asked the man.
he looked at me shocked as if he didn't know I could speak. but soon after he slowly walked over to me and offered me his hand. after I got up with his help, he helped me walk outside of the room I was in. he had me sit on a couch near a fireplace and he sat across from me. as I looked around, I noticed the man was always watching me. eventually he said something.
"My name is Philza. What's yours?"
I looked over at him not understanding most of what he said. did he not speak my language? Something seemed to click to him. he soon pointed at his chest and said the one thing I could somewhat understand.
"Philza." he then pointed at me and looked at me.
"⏚⌰⏃⎅⟒." I said. he still looked at me confused slightly but then grabbed a paper and gave it to me. it had letters on it in my language all of them. I wrote my name on the bottom and gave it to the Philza man. He took the paper and looked down and he started to say something that I couldn't hear. after maybe 5 minutes of the man muttering and me figuring that he went by Philza. he said a word that sounded like my name but in his language. "Blade?" I looked up at the name maybe his language didn't pronounce the e in my name. Philza put down the paper and stood up. I felt that I should get up too, but I almost fell over immediately. Philza helped me up once again and said something I couldn't understand but I am pretty sure he told me to stay. he walked into what I assume is his kitchen and started to do something to a black box like thing. I looked around and saw a window and I looked outside. "⍙⍜⏃⊑..." I knew Philza wouldn't understand me but still I asked him, "⍙⊑⏃⏁'⌇ ⏁⊑⟒ ⍙⊑⟟⏁⟒ ⌇⏁⎍⎎⎎?" Philza looked over at me confused but I pointed to the window. He looked over and smiled while saying, "Snow."
After a while I was able to walk again but it still hurt, and I'd trip every once and a while. While I was walking around Philza was reading a book. I saw a picture in the hallway. So, I walked towards it. There were 3 people in the photo. 2 teenagers and a child. A brunette who seemed to be part goat, an enderman, and a young piglin. they all looked so happy. I saw more pictures of people who I assumed were Philza's family.
I was now in the living room. Philza had given me a book of photos of his family after a long struggle of communicating. I was interested in Philza's family because it consisted of a goddess, bird man, piglin, human, enderman, and a goat.
I turned the page and saw a picture of the beautiful woman with black hair. I looked under the photo hoping it'd say the woman's name but some of the page was ripped and all I could see was Kris.
The door opened and then slammed shut. I looked up and I saw a glimpse of a blonde teen running down the hallway. Philza placed his book down and stood up. Once again, he told me the word that I'm certain meant stay and walked to the hallway. I heard a door open and shut then silence. I looked back to the book of family photos and looked at the blonde teen in the photos... After a while I found his name is Tommy.
The door opened once again, and I looked up. There stood a tall enderman... and he was staring back at me. "RANBOO ITS COLD MOVE!" I heard a voice say startling both me and other enderman. The enderman moved out of the way for the other person and bent down to say something to him. I recognized the other he was the goat kid. I think his name was Turbo or something similar to that. The goat slowly walked over to the couch farthest away from me and sat down and the enderman kid walked to the hallway probably looking for Philza.
The goat watched me look at the photo book. soon after I found a photo of him and the enderman teen. I slowly got up as to not startle the goat and walked over to the goat boy. I sat the book down near him and pointed at his photo and then pointed at him.
He took a moment and then said "Yeah that's me..." He sounded sorta excited. I wanted to try my luck and then said, "⟟'⋔ ⏚⌰⏃⎅⟒." The boy looked at me for a few seconds and said, "Are you like Ranboo?" I'm guessing Ranboo is the enderman teen. I saw something move in the corner of my eye and out of reflex tried to attack.
I was face to face with the other enderman teen. They looked scared... I realized what I had almost done. I had almost attacked my own kind. I let go of the other enderman and backed away. I backed into the corner I had been looking at pictures in. The goat boy motioned to the Enderian to sit and slowly walked towards me.
I was scared. Where was Philza? Why was he taking so long? Just as I was going to teleport away, I saw Philza walking out of the hallway... I immediately teleported to him scared. I clung onto him as if I was a small child clinging to their mother or father. I must've spooked Philza because he slightly jumped, and his wings puffed up when I teleported behind him. He looked at the goat boy then the other enderman and lastly me. "Tubbo, Ranboo. What did you do?" I didn't understand him but the other enderman said something before the goat could say anything. "What's your name?" I looked at the enderman understanding them clearly. "I'm Blade. What about you?" The enderman smiled and said, "I'm Ranboo. Nice to meet you Blade."
"I'm sorry I tried to attack you Ranboo."
"It's ok."
I looked at Philza and pointed at Ranboo and then me. He smiled and said, "You're an Enderman too?" Understanding some of what he said I shook my head happily.
"What the hell is that?!"
A voice behind me half screeched making me teleport away. Next to Philza I saw the blonde teen from before. "That is Blade. They are an Enderman like Ranboo."
~Later~
We were all in the living room. During the past 30 minutes 2 other people had come to the house. Another brunette whose name was Ghostbur and the other had pink hair he was the piglin his name was Technoblade or Techno for short. When I heard his name, I was interested immediately because if we cut it in half, it would have his nickname and my name. Most of us were all eating our dinner. I wasn't. The food looked funny to me, and I didn't really trust it.
I stood up and walked over to Ranboo. I tapped his shoulder and asked, "What is in the food? It looks funny..." Ranboo laughed and replied, "Its ok and its gonna look funny because you've probably lived in The End for your entire life! Just trust me eat it." My tail flicked nervously as I walked back to where I had left my food. I sat down and stared at it. I picked up my spoon and dipped it in the greyish white goop. I looked back at Ranboo, and he nodded then looked away to speak to Tubbo. I brought the spoon to my mouth and put it in.
It was oddly sweet but at the same time plain tasting... but it tasted good overall. I tried the meat like food after.
When I finished my food, I walked over to the sink and placed my plate inside. I walked back to the couch and sat down next to the other Enderman.
"Ranboo, do you think your taller than Blade?" I heard Tubbo ask Ranboo. I understood some of it. Ranboo stood up and tapped on my head.
As I looked up Ranboo told me, "Come on stand up. Let's see who's taller." I got up and stood next to Ranboo. I was shorter than him. Figures because I'm younger than him... at least I think I am. "Man I thought Blade was gonna be taller than you Ranboo..." Tubbo said disappointed. "Why would I be taller?" I asked Ranboo. "Because I'm only half Enderian..." "Oh..."
"PHIL! I THINK RANBOO AND I MIGHT STAY TONIGHT!" Tubbo yelled to Philza who was in the hallway. "OK TUBBO! ALSO, CAN YOU TAKE BLADE TO WILBURS OLD ROOM?!" Philza yelled back. Tubbo motioned to follow him. Both Ranboo and I got up and followed the teen goat.
Tubbo opened a door to the left and pointed to it. "That's where you'll sleep. Tubbo and I will be in the room next to you. Phil's room is at the end of the hall." Ranboo told me. "Thanks, Ranboo." I smiled. I walked inside and it was the same room from before. I looked around and saw some more blankets on the bed with a paper on it. I walked over and picked the paper up. I was slightly shocked because it was written in Enderian.
Blade,
I brought you some more blankets in case you get cold tonight. It tends to get colder during night. Also don't be surprised if Ghostbur comes in later. He doesn't sleep often but he watches over us sleeping sometimes which is creepy at first, but he won't hurt you. In the morning I will try to find you some new clothes. Maybe you can borrow some of Ranboo's clothes.
See you in the morning,
Philza
I looked down at my own clothes. Yes, they were blood stained and ripped up but why would I need new clothes??? Wait a minute.... what even happened to me in the first place? Why was I here? Why wasn't I at home?
I sat down on Wilbur's bed next to the blankets. I touched the blankets and was taken aback momentarily. I had felt a soft and fluffy one like a wolfs fur. Back home we had thick blankets. I had never felt a soft blanket before. I picked it up and wrapped myself in the soft material and purred while laying down. I thought back to Ranboo and what he had said earlier...
"It's ok and its gonna look funny because you've probably lived in The End for your entire life! Just trust me eat it."
What was The End...? Was it The FarLands? Hold on... I sat up. He was both Black and White and he had said he was only half Enderian. I stood up and sat the blanket down. I walked over to the door to open it. How was I going to ask the other half Enderian what the hell The End was?
I knocked on the door next to mine and waited for the door to open. Ranboo opened the door and I practically yelled at him, "WHAT THE HELL IS THE END?! AND WHAT ARE YOU?! WHY ARE YOU HALF FARLANDER AND HALF GOD KNOWS WHAT?!" Ranboo took a moment to let all what I had half screamed at him. In this moment I realized I had probably woken up not just Tubbo but everyone that had already fallen asleep. "Follow me Blade." Ranboo told me while walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.
As I followed Ranboo out to the living room Phil carrying a sleeping Tommy with the help of Ghostbur. Ranboo led me outside and there we stopped. "What do you mean 'Farlander'?" Did he not know what Farlander meant? How did he not know what his people were called? "Farlanders. I am a Farlander. There are 2 kinds of Farlanders the White ones and the Black ones... like me. However, you are both colors so... I want to know why." I told him while looking at the snow. It looked so fluffy. "Blade...? Are you from The End? It's always dark there... And there's only Black Endermen there. It's just Endermen like you." I looked over at Ranboo, "There's a place like that?" Ranboo nodded. Was he telling the truth? Did a place really exist? "I've never seen a White Enderman... Only Black Endermen." I looked at the forest, "It's because in the FarLands they think Black Endermen are a curse..."
It was quiet. We watched the snow fall from our dry little spot. It was calm. That was until Phil opened the front door and yelled at us. "YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET SICK IF YOU STAY OUT IN THE COLD!" Phil pushed us inside into the warmth. Phil asked Ranboo something then Ranboo asked, "Can you go sit on the couch? Phil wants to check on your wounds." Wounds? When did Phil see them and which ones did, he see? I walked over to the couch and sat down. When Phil came over, he brought Ranboo over. I'm guessing Ranboo was only here because Phil couldn't properly talk to me. Phil gestured to me to take my shirt off which meant he saw the wound that looked like the worse. But hey at least he didn't see what that cat did to me... hopefully. Instead of taking my shirt off I pulled it up, but Phil kept on gesturing to me to take it off. After a long time of him gesturing to me to take off my shirt I did. This meant if Phil hadn't seen what that cat did to me, he would now. When I took off my shirt Phil looked at my upper arm and back at me as if applying something on my upper arm. I sat still for as long as I could but out of nowhere my arm stinged as if it was on fire. I immediately teleported away only to be glared at by Phil. I smiled nervously at Phil while walking back.
After some time Philza wrapped my arm with some cloth and went back to my stomach. At some point Phil gave me a bottle of a glowing hot pink liquid and said, "Drink." So, I drank it. Soon after that I started to drift to sleep.
