The witch.

The gnome.

The assassin.

The witch.

The gnome.

The assassin.

Their faces were blurry, but a scene started playing out.

The witch and the assassin met at a fountain talking about wizardry. The witch laughed as the assassin took out a giant stick.

The scenes changed.

They were in the nether now. The assassin had his stick pointed at the witch and another figure from across a land bridge. The witch took a step foreword, but the assassin shot a blue and red beam out of his stick.

The scene changed again.

A village of short people with mushrooms walked around a busy town. The gnome was one of them. She skipped on a path through mushroom burrows and houses. She waved to everyone she passed, tree people and gnomes alike.

Suddenly, she stopped.

Everyone stopped.

A dark figure stepped on a tree. He had black horns and red glowing eyes.

The gnome stared in fear at the figure.

"WAKE UP!"

Joey opened his eyes. Pete was standing up at him, Gator gnawing at his hand.

"Ow!" Joey yelled, glaring at Gator. "What the hell was that for?!" 

"Wake up tactic!" Gator said, spitting Joeys hand out of his mouth. 

"Never do that again." Joey snapped, looking around and realizing that Cleo, X, and Gem weren't there. "Where is everyone?"

"They uh.." Pete hesitated.

"They went to get the Witch for healing potions!" Gator jumped.

"THEY WHAT?!" Joey jumped up and quickly put his armor and his sword. 

The witch.

The witch.

Which witch?

Joey stopped. His head started aching.

"Captain! You need to lay down!" Pete flew after him.

"I'm fine." Joey glared at Pete.

"I heard you needed potions." A voice said above Joey.

Shelby sat on her broom and smirked at Joey.

"Not from you." Joey said, standing up straight and looking the witch in the eye. "And also, every time I go to see you, you're never there. Why can they see you when I can't."

"You come at such inconvenient times." Shubble mused. It was obvious she was trying to annoy him.

"Sorry she beat us!" X yelled, running to the dock with Cleo and Gem. Somehow they now had wings.

"How do you have wings? And why didn't you use them?" Joey yelled at them.

"Because-" Cleo cut off.

BANG!

Fireworks blasted on to Joey.

Joey sat up and walked outside after respawning.

"DID YOU JUST-" 

More fireworks.

Joey stumbled outside.

Everyone was laughing.

"I-" Joey stuttered.

"Can we have a truce again?" Shubble laughed. "Neither of us got Katherine, she just got in between us." 

A spark lit in Joeys head. 

"Sure." Joey acted, reaching out his hand for a handshake.

Shubble shook his hand and smiled. 

"A truce." They both lied.

"We better get to Hermitopia." Cleo cut in.

"You're leaving me?" Joey asked.

"We'll be back!" X reassured.

"Oh." Joey said. "Okay then."

Before Joey could say goodbye, they flew off.

"They grow up so fast!" Gem sniffed.

"Get away from me." Joey said, running to his ship.

Joey sat on his bed and sighed. They left me. Everyone always leaves me.

"Hello Joey."
