Niki was confused and slightly scared. Scott wasn't like this before. She knew it was him at the wedding when she saw the black and purple hand and stars underneath his eyes. Hints of his Starborne origin.

She wandered around her Empire, fingers lightly tracing over the base of the Technoblade statue. A tribute to a beloved member of the Syndicate. Her Empire was based on a group she was in. The Syndicate.

Made up of Technoblade, Philza Minecraft, Connoreatspants, Ranboo and herself. And someone that she didn't know of. And of course, Apollo.

Her citizens represented Phil and his wife, Kristin, more commonly called Mumza. The children represented Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Ranboo and Connor.

Niki's empire had no rules as the Syndicate was about Anarchy. The only rules were that murder on pigs and bees were prohibited. And so because of that, there were pigs and bees here and there.

But there was one thing she knew. She was a Merling. And she listened. Scott lived in the mountains. The snow melted into the water. And everything he said out loud went with the snow. And Niki heard them.

Goddamn Exor, when can I go back?

I swear I'll kill them all.

When is Niki going to go there?!

Niki never knew what those things meant but now she did. But the question is. Who is Exor.

Like Scott, Niki had few things from her Merling origin. She could still hear what was said near water. She was still a graceful swimmer which made her good allies with Lizzie.

It's going to be Xornoth's turn soon...

One of the things she heard from Scott. But she had always wondered who Xornoth was. Now she knew. Xornoth of Rivendell. But who was Xornoth to Scott?

Finding a pond she had made, she sat by the water. She heard two voices. One was Lizzie and the other was Joel.

"We have to kill him!"

"Lizzie, he's not real."

"You saw him though!"

"It was probably just someone playing a prank."

"Well, I'm going back to my Empire."

"Lizzie, it's too dangerous!"

"I have to get back!"

"Well let me assist you."

Niki sighed and placed a sign next to it which said "Mezalea".

She glanced at the one which had a sign that said "Rivendell." She sat down next to it.

"What the fuck has he done to Rivendell?"

Scott.

"The hell. Nether themed? Oh Xornoth's going to regret ruining Rivendell."

What was he going to do?

A soft chuckle. "How about I hold his precious Joey hostage...Yes, that's a good idea."

Silence.

Niki had to warn Joey. And Xornoth. She was about to stand before she heard her name.

"I know you're probably listening Niki. I still have some of my origins abilities. So you probably do too. Tell anyone and I'll make sure to make a nice aquarium exhibit for you."

Well scratch that.
