I quickly moved through the dark oak trees with ease, hopping over branches, avoiding Poison Oak...until I made it through to the awfully menacing castle, made entirely of blackened bricks, why it's so emo I don't know. I kinda found it like that and may-haps have killed all inhabitants- we don't talk about that. We really don't. Anygay.

I paused at the bottom, waiting for the others. As they came through they already looked tired.

"This is as far as I can go! So, good luck! Byeeeeeee!" I dragged out bye before running round the emperors.

I made it far enough away that I could turn around and run back, as I somehow ran silently THROUGH THE MOST NOSIEST FOREST IVE EVER BEEN IN! Sorry, it's a very loud forest, and my day is making no clear sense.

I rounded to the back of the castle, easily clambering up the loosened bricks. Hopping into a window ledge, I entered the very top of the castle, and then pondered on how-the-Joel can I disguise myself.

A pristine white dragon hopped onto the window ledge, it was very small, could easily fit on my hand. It's golden underbelly almost seemed to glow, it jumped in an around, something clattering on the ground as it reached its finale perch, before itself turned into a staff. Next to what fell. Another staff. That was the dragon.

The not dragon staff; was, cool. It had an iridescent green gem slowly fading into and out of light, being held in place by a dark wood type thing, with a small wing protruding from the side. The base of it had...well, darkness, it didn't look like anything as the green light blinked onto it.
~
Meanwhile, the dragon staff, it had the dragon perched atop, almost perfectly, it's tail seemed to keep it in place. The dark oak base only made the dragon look more beautiful, it's golden brown eyes stared into the unknown. Lifeless.

I hesitantly pick up the dragon staff, it was palisman, something a sort of witch would get, I wasn't any witch. But I kept it. I picked up the other staff, feeling it's energy radiating, and also seeing said magic because of a certain EYE. Jeez I still hate my new eye, what? Wh- wait- since when? Eh who cares I've had enough trouble.

I paced around the room, how'd a staff help me? I looked back to the staff, but catching a glance at my left hand, specifically, the minimal black substance on it had spread, a lot, it had almost covered the entire back of my hand, but completely covered my fingers. I think I should start calling this corruption-

Something clattered, almost right behind me, I gently spun, a mirror was there now.

How many things will pop up- I questioned to myself silently.

I walked over to the mirror, realising my entire appearance had changed, black hair replaced the cyan, it still looked fluffy, but it did look taken care of. Vibrant green eyes seemed to looked menacingly forwards, the eye position did that, probably. The black 'corruption' spread onto my neck, starting to get to my face. I ignored it.

I long black cape flowed down my back, almost like if it was in water, it had occasional tears in the bottom and was being held on by a ravens skull. A dark, dark green long sleeved shirt had a sparse pattern of sliver lining, a fairly large...ox skull...? Was clipped onto a belt loop, I looked to my torso and seen my ribs. Other than that- I had somewhat casual black trousers on, some tears on the, too. And half-way knee high dark grey boots with a swirling pattern of green that looked like a flame, my skin was pale and my eyes had dark bags underneath, as if not one of the me's sleep properly, which is always the case.

I sighed, and presumed this was WitchCraft SMP me, how the heck they got here and I'm them I don't know, but won't question it.

I heard feet pounding up the stairs, I took the necklace out and wished to myself that I could change my voice.

~

As the people came barging in, I twirled the necklace. Smiling to myself.

"I've been expecting visitors, but I didn't except them to be rude." My more smoothened and not accented voice chuckled.
"Give us the necklace Necromancer!" Katherine called. I smiled to myself.
"Oh how wonderful, a person who thinks they're in control." I chuckled.
"You do not know who I am! Nor what I can do!" Katherine yelled out, I peaked at her in the mirror that had shattered.
"I see there's more than one, unwise of the Adventurer to send that many." I scoffed, keeping my gaze at the shattered mirror reflection.
"What do you mean?" Shelby's somewhat confused voice called.
"The Adventurer? That cyanette you've always been speaking with? Scott, you call him, I believe. We've met many times, needless to say he doesn't think he can be around anyone for long anymore, otherwise they'll die. Like they all have." I said sharply.
"What do you mean?" Shelby questioned.
"Everyone of his former friends he explored with, each died, at his own decisions. Lani exploded because of a trap, Scott knew was there. Karva died by arrow in a jungle temple trap because Scott hadn't de-wired it, and many more reasons. The truth is, anyone Scott befriends normally dies, so it's weird to see some many friends of his. But, then again, I guess he has sent you into a death trap." I said the last part with a sigh.
"What-" Katherine started, before they were thrown into the newer wall.

The bosses area. The arena for him. Now mine.

"Oh the thrill of having people to kill, especially a GOD!" I laughed— maybe manically, but crazy is fun— before slamming the staff into the ground.

Waves of spikes cracked up from the ground, getting everyone by surprise before the spaces in between jumped up with snapping mouths. Most avoid somewhat successfully. Others...got taken. The flooded sight of fear and terror washed the remaining five emperors. Gem, Joel, Shelby, Sausage and...Oli? The hell- whatever. I don't care.

(And here's where I mostly change writing styles because ^ was written maybe in like, 2022-2023. And I've changed a little, so woohoo I guess.)

I chuckle darkly, drawing my staff to my side. "I am SO going to enjoy this." I said with pure malicious intent, I twirled the staff behind me, lifting the base into the air,  before slamming the staff into the ground, sending a wave of spikes up from the ground. My eyes narrowing sharply at the small group. The fight had only just began. I smirked, focusing, watching, waiting to see what the would do and to not give them a chance to do it.

They where trying to advance on me, trying. But I, as of my smart technique say them coming. How predictable they where. I grinned, slamming the staff into the ground, the spikes snapped out of the ground, snapping and crawling at the emperors with a... possibly murderous intent, I smirked, then looked to the group. I wanted to play the simple cards, what isn't some fun in play with my victims? The spikes get them worked up, get them ready expecting for more spikes, then if I hit them with something else- I'll have the ability to keep this weird purple crystal necklace to myself, it is very pretty after all.

"Oh how fun." I said with a dark chuckle.
"This isn't fun, this is just stupid." Joel spoke up, his voice snarling with irritation.
"What's stupid is you and your dumb idea of fighting me." I snapped back viciously.
"You won't win this fight- we won't let you!" Joel spat.
"This isn't a fight, it's a fucking contest, I'll show you who's the better fighter, I'll show you how to do magic, I'll show you how to kill a god." I laughed, quietly, yet a ring of maliciousness still pollutes it.
"And what isn't better than a God fighting another God?" I grasped one of my medallions, releasing the contents inside, I knew it was a God- most likely Baphoment- but I didn't dare glance at the summon one I commanded it to Joel for a fight.

I turned back to the last four, which was only three- Gem, Sausage and Oli, but that wouldn't be a problem- Shelby probably left like a coward. I walked over, taking my time with slow steps. Smirking the whole time. My cloak dusting away at the floor, making clouds of dust form at my feet, the dust clouds tried clinging onto my feet like leeches. But I continued walking onwards. Only stopping when the three had walked into a wall. Trapped prey are the best.

"Now then- you to myself. Exciting!" I said with a venomous laugh, a glaring at them with piercing eyes.

I would have said or done another thing- if someone hadn't hit my head with what felt like a metal pole to the skull, or a bat, or a truck. Whatever it was- it hit me to the ground and only took a few seconds to make my ears ring violently. 'Why the hell was this affecting me so much-? This shouldn't be-... oh it's blackstone isn't it. Motherfucking blackstone always affecting magic-' I thought to myself. I groaned in anger grabbing my staff and pushing myself up, ignoring the blood trickling down my face. I glared to the person who hit me- Shelby. Trying to help her friends. I scowled at her, immediately running at her for a tackle- sending the two of us into the ground. She managed to slip away. I growled, pulling my staff back to me and kicking her into the air, she spun around, grabbing my ankle with her hands and pulling me into a headlock.

And then her fist smashed into my chest, I gasped in pain, folding in the air for a moment. Shelby looked down at me, in a quick whisk of surprise then confidence. I shoved my elbow into her gut. That caused Shelby to shoot back in the quick ounce of pain, I pulled away from my previous spot and held my staff again, fingers drumming the wooden hold.

"You, shouldn't have fucking struck me first!" I growled, pulling my staff to my side, I've gotten bored of the spikes. Let's play another game with my Necromantic magic, maybe some zombies? Hmm... actually I might just send Lilith out. It may be a cowards battle but better than nothing.

I took out another medallion, Lilith, summoning the Goddess and commanding her attack as I retreated to the shadows of the side-line. I took a moment to break from character as I stood alone in the shade... I stared at the battle I ensued. 'What have I done? These are my friends... what am I doing this for? There's nothing to gain... fuck it. I'll loose, this once. This necklace has no purpose for me yet. I'll let them have it.' I thought to myself with a sigh, I regained composure, taking away the two Gods and coming back out from the shadows.

"Final round. Who will strike first?" I asked, boredly.
"Finally round? Who are you to say what's final?!" Sausage snapped.
"Me." I say simply, boredom sending a wave of spikes out towards them, only for one last trick.

Once I was able to nick one of them. I walked over to the window.

"And the final round isn't going to end in me killing you, that's boring." I scoff, taking the necklace and holding it out the window.
"So let's release something powerful into the world. Eh?" I smirked devilishly, dropping the necklace out of the window.

I stood by as Shelby ran for the window and dove after the crystal, with the last standing three running behind her and stopping at the ledge. I glare at them, walking by.

...a gently breeze tossing my air and cloak to the left of my body, causing my cloak to wrap around my legs and hair to get in my face. I sigh angrily- removing the hair from my face and focusing on the Emperors who where both friends and enemies right now...(random tangent brought to you by me.)

"We'll meet again, Emperors." I say, in a half ominous way, slamming my staff into the ground one final time, 'disappearing' into thin air.

The Ender Wand is very helpful at making me vanish.

So I returned back to Chromia, got back to as normal as I can, covered myself face up with makeup again. And sighed, making a popping sound. My friends where going to come back here, after the hospital... most likely. Concerning but- anything for fun... and I do guess that fight was pretty fun.
