Xornoth is not possessed by Exor here. Exor is not a god, but he has skills that make him seem like a god. He has been defeated before and can still be defeated. This is also an angst chapter... Kind of? Also, this is set after Jimmy's parents have died/been killed, meaning Jimmy is the official ruler of the cod empire.

Enjoy!

Three blood-curdling cries could be heard over the mountains between the Crystal Cliffs and Riven dell.

Ponk and Sam found them. They were lying in an area that looked decayed and wet. When they first stumbled across it, they looked at each other and said at the same time, 'it hasn't rained in 3 days..'.

They followed the decay for a bit until they found a flat area. Ponk immediately ran towards them as he yelled at Sam to take his shirt off. Sam immediately does this as Ponk is a doctor and knows what he's doing. He proceeded to throw his shirt to Ponk.

"TAKE THE ELYTRA AND FLY TO THE CRYSTAL CLIFFS FOR BACKUP! WE CAN'T CARRY THEM ALL ALONE. I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM FOR NOW."
"DOING JUST THAT, PONKIE, BE SAFE!"
"I WILL" Sam took the fireworks and the elytra from the hermit's inventory and flew to the Crystal Cliffs.

Time skip brought to you by Damasen.

"GEM! GEM, GEM!" Could be heard over the Crystal Cliffs as Gem walked out of her pharmacy.

Sam landed as Gem came towards him.

"What happened?"
"Severely injured, flat area, here, Rivendell." Was what Gem managed to hear in between Sam's huffs.
"WHAT?! SEVERELY INJURED!? GET LIZZIE AND XISUMA AND BRING AN EXTRA ELYTRA! HURRY." Gem yelled as she took off.

So, Sam took off and got Xisuma, Lizzie, and an extra elytra.

Time skip, who looks at the sky and says hi to Zoë from Bob and Damasen.

"Have you figured anything out yet?" A worried Kathrine asked
"Nothing else than all the weapons seems to look like some weird material? I don't know what it is. Probably not something to worry about." Joey answered,
"Let me see them," Xornoth croaked, paling.
"We can't let you do that; you could get hurt-" Xisuma began, worried for everyone's safety, as one of his 'children' had just gotten severely hurt.
"LET ME SEE THEM," Xornoth growled loudly, his magic beginning to leak out, as Joey ran over to try and calm him down.

"Let him see the weapons, Xisuma. I'm sure he'll be fine. He knows what he's doing." Gem said, showing up with a bunch of healing materials.

Another little time skip; that this time sings for Rue.

"Gem, how fatal are the wounds?" Xornoth cried out, storming into the room,
"Not very fatal, why?" Ponk asked, concerned.
"Good, very good," Xornoth murmured, pulling out his communicator.
'Bobby? Can you get the, uhh, magical healing stuff? We need it here at the Crystal Cliff very quickly,' he typed out before sending it. And two minutes later, Bobby was standing there with this supposedly magical healing stuff. He hurried off over to the injured while asking,
"Where were they all hurt?" In a hurried tone.
-

-

"Um... Scott was shot in the wing, Shubble in both her legs, Cleo was stabbed in the leg with a throwing knife & shot in the arm. No fatal hits, from what I can see,"
"Good, not very fatal is very good. We should be able to get it out before it gets deadlier."

"WHAT?! WHAT CAN GET DEADLIER? WHAT TF ARE YOU HIDING FROM US?! MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS DYING! SAME WITH TWO OF MY FUCKING FRIENDS!" Lizzie began screaming, having to have Joel calm her down.
Xornoth sighed, went up and hugged Joey from behind, and opened his mouth to talk before getting interrupted.
"Let us explain later.. And stop shouting. Jimmy is covering his fins with his hands. You don't wanna hurt your brother, do you, Ocean Queen?" A new voice answered.
-

The new person walked towards the beds, Bobby and Jimmy. Since Xornoth seemed to know her and calm even more down when seeing her, they figured she was a good person.

She stopped in front of Bobby, leaned down, and kissed him on the forehead before walking over to Jimmy, hugging him, and telling him it would be OK while she trembled slightly in worry for her Emperor and his friends.

"Um, so who are you?" Sam questioned,
"Oh, I'm LaurenZside, Starborne, wife of Bobby, friend, and guard of Emperor Smajor."
"Ah, Lauren. I think I have heard Scott say some things about you. You seem like a nice, bread-obsessed, crazed Starborne!" Kathrine exclaimed as she threw a piece of bread over to Lauren, who caught it and ate it in two bites.

"Ah, Lady Kathrine. I think I have heard Scott say some things about you. You seem like a nice, sheep-loving, voices-in-the-head woman!" Lauren swung Kathrines own words back, though with a bit of change. This made Kathrine laugh as she walked over and sat down next to Shelby, or as they knew, her Shrub.

While Bobby was cleaning their wounds with this magic stuff, Kathrine took a good look at her platonic girlfriend. She was taller than Kathrine remembered, and her usually dark brown hair was white at the ends. In her hair were a bunch of gold hairclips, and her hairstyle had changed. It almost looked like she was transforming into a different person. Kathrine looked over her shoulder at the other two and saw that they also looked weirder than usual.

Realization dawned upon Kathrine, and she looked back at Shrub. When she yelped in surprise, the others looked at her and the patients until you could hear light swearing from the opposite side of the room. They all looked over to see Jimmy type something in a communicator while Joey was standing behind him and suggesting what Jimmy should write. Xornorth looked like a thousand elephants had walked on him.

"Why- What- Who are you writing to?" Xornorth asked as his expression returned to normal. 
"Pris, El, Tiff," Lauren explained as she walked over to Cleo, her face and voice laced with concern. At that, two of the Empreses' faces widened in even more surprise.

"Prismarina?" - "IHasCupquake?" Were asked at the same time by two different Empresses. "Yes, they're both witches, along with me, Shubble, Cleo, Scott, Lauren, and SoupForEloise," Joey answered as he walked over to Scott and flicked his forehead.

'Is this really the same man that cursed me? We're on good terms now; it doesn't matter.' Joey thought to himself while eyeing the other witches. He noticed Laurens wide open eyes before,
"HE CURSED YOU!?" All but the witches in the room shouted. But they didn't have time to ask any questions because,

A groan was heard, and Jimmy ran over, pushing Joey out of the way. When Scott opened his eyes, Jim laid 'his' communicator down on the side table and helped Scott sit up. As soon as he was sitting up, he stretched his wings and looked at the open communicator with a message typed.

"Delete Prismarina from the message.. She doesn't deserve to know anything." Scott said, accent thick, his voice laced with venom.
"Heh?" Lizzie cocked her head as it was her citizen that was left out, even though she knew that the Rivendell ruler wouldn't do anything without reason.
Lizzie didn't get an answer as,

"SHRUB!!" and "CLEO!!" was screamed by two different people, Xisuma running over to Cleo and Kathrine checking if Shelby was ok. After a bit, Jim told them to shut up, as the witches had something to say, which most definitely could affect many people in the room.

"Well, say it then," Sam said, wanting to know what was up.
"Prismarina is working with Exor. Exor is back." The three injured witches said at the same time.

"WHAT!?"

HA! Cliffhanger. Tbh, I have been working on this chapter since the 20th of February.  Theres around 1200 words in this chapter. This is definitely the longest thing I have ever written. I hope it was ok, as my motivation wasn't the highest for the most part. I have tried to tie in a bunch of SMPs, as you can see. Hope you have a great rest of your day! I wrote this in German or Deutsch for the German people out there(I'm not german, but it's something I have to learn in school- don't know why.) I'm proud of some of this chapter, and the rest is ok. Anyways- have to go- still in class. Bye-
