Pain.

The moment Cub kills me, I'm in pain again. I open my eyes, trying to blink away the spots of red, as I look around this place I've ended up. It's regular terrain, regular overworld. But there's a pressure in my chest, a prickle of pins and needles over my skin, The atmosphere feels thinner.

The truth sinks in.

I'm outside the world border.

The Hermitcraft 10 spawn is outside the world border.

I respawn, just a few blocks from where I was before. I try to take deep breaths, but it's hard. Cub and Grian will know I'm past the world border now, so they'll send me back to them. As soon as possible. Then they'll fix the problem. Then I'll be alright. Cub wouldn't let me get hurt, or agree to send me here if it was really that dangerous.

There. Now they definitely know spawn is outside the world border. Grian will look into it, and find he just made a typo in the coordinates. Surely that's a simple fix, he'll change where spawn is quickly, and then once they know it's good, they'll send me back. Besides, few deaths like this won't be too bad. I've dealt with worse. I've survived worse.

I shouldn't get impatient yet, or worried. It'll be fine. I'll be fine. Everything will be fine. I struggle to control my breathing. It feels like there's a hand, wrapped around my chest, just squeezing as hard as it can. But that's fine. I've faced worse. I can ignore it.

I clench and unclench my hand, trying to get some more feeling than that numb prickle. The blocks around me won't break. I can't see where the border is, but it can't be too far away, right? I won't be here that long. Grian wouldn't leave me here too long. If it was getting problematic, he'd send me back to the Permit Office. So it must be ok.

Ok, I'm panicking.

Grian and Cub still haven't brought me back. Theories run through my head. Has something happened to the ender pearl? Has something happened to them? Is Cub ok? Did the No-Poe attack them? Are the Vex doing something to mess with them?

Are the Watchers doing something?

If it's the Watchers, then I'm not getting back any time soon. They'll trap me here. Images flash through my head of a statue, surrounded by scrolls. Fields of sunflowers. A thick cloak around me as I sit, waiting. Alone. But it's not like that. It wouldn't be like that. They wouldn't leave me alone again. Grian certainly wouldn't let the Watchers tell him what to do, especially not if I'm in danger.

The pain is only getting worse. I'm inhaling nothing. I think my chest is going to implode. I feel like I'm being stabbed, over and over, by hundreds of thousands of needles, all over my skin. My heart hammers like a trapped bird trying to escape, my brain screams at me to run but I know I'll just spawn back here, over and over. I'll fail over and over. I can't do anything. My life is in Cub and Grian's hands. In Grian's hands especially.
