NOTE: In this AU, Village & Pillage update has happened.

Third Person


Poultryman was making new armor. Leather, obviously.

He lived underground, in the middle of the shopping district, close to bedrock. He had been in hiding for roughly a month, hiding, collecting intelligence of the world slowly.

He could trust the players, he learned after an encounter with 'Wels' after being shot in the knee by a skeleton. Wels had held the skeleton off, and Poultryman ended up leaving a chest full of random items at Wels base to thank him.

He saw Wels reaction in chat. It had been amusing, to say the least.

But that was beyond the point. He finished with the armor, making it the only way he knew how to. Evo style. He moved on to a sword, spending hours crafting it then enchanting it with his armor.

Pickaxe. Axe. Chicken egg farm. The basics, you know?

He had bought a elytra from Jevin-nice man, really. He let him buy it without really interacting. Very considerate, and not very pushy.

And he was ready for trolling. He left the base via water entrance and flew away from it, searching for a target. Quickly he spotted the admin-Xisuma?-and showered him with eggs, crackling.

Xisuma was clearly startled, and wiped of some of the egg off his mask. He also now had a chick in his arms "What on earth?" he looked up and spotted the player flying.

He scanned their gamertag and it said Poultryman. The new glitched player then? Trolling already?

As he watched him fly away, X questioned how he had gotten his hands on a elytra without anybody knowing.

Poultryman booked it, leaving the scene. Eventually, he headed to Wels base. Landing in front of it, he threw an egg at the door. It smashed against it, and a chick ran away from the house.

Wels opened the door. "Hey! Your Poultry, correct?"

A nod.

The knight waved his hand "Want to come in?" Poultry nodded and followed him in.

"What is it with the eggs and/or mask?" Poultry answered, his voice clearly young, in between the age of 15 to 19. "The mask is cursed." Wels stared at him in shock for a moment.

"How old are you?"

Poultry sighed "Sixteen. I think. I was a sleeper for a while, something woke me up." Wels waved for him to sit down. "I have hot chocolate, if you want some."

Poultry grinned from under the mask, pulling it up ontop of his nose, the highest it would go. "Sure!"

Wels moved the pot from the furnace top and pored some. He pitied the teenager for being cursed with that mask, and had decided he would do his best to help him adjust to this world.

He realized very quickly that Poultry was from an older update, when he ended up asking what his fox was. This baffled Wels further as he explained to Poultry, who 'interrogated' him about the new animals/blocks/items.

For some reason he found the Pillagers and Illagers intriguing, same with the pandas.

He really wanted to meet the pandas. Like really badly. Wels ended up taking him to the jungle for the soul purpose of seeing bamboo and meeting a panda.

The kid was interesting, to say the least. Like Wels really wanted to pry into his past, and ask all sorts of questions, but he didn't want to be rude.

Luckily, he didn't have to. Because Poultry immediately started oversharing while he had a panda cub in his arms.

He was a former resident of Evo, and had enjoyed it there. But the Watchers and Listeners attacked, and eliminated most of the Observer forces.

Wels was for once glad of the history lesson on Evo X had given them before letting Grian in the server.

Poultry explained how he had put on the mask and ended up assassinating the general, but getting stabbed in the process. He went to the portal, and spawned in a void. Then he respawned in this world, bloody armor and all.

Wels sat there in silence before stating "You know that the Observers rose again, and ended up having to delete Evo after getting the citizens out? And the fact that someone-you-killed the general was the main fact of their victory?"

Poultry continued petting the panda "No, not at all." Wels chuckled at his 'I don't give a diorite about what happened' demeanor. As they sat there, something occurred to Wels.

Grian had talked about two brothers before. One was named Warden, and the other Xelqua. Warden at 21 was taken captive by the Watchers, brainwashed to become one of them.

Grian became an Observer to free him. Xelqua had been about 14 when this happened, and the last time Grian had seen him was on his 15th birthday.

Xelqua was probably killed in the combat. Grian regarded both brothers as dead, and grieved.

Wels said curiously to Poultry. "Is your name Xelqua?" His head shot up and he stuttered "I-i-it was." Wels was surprised by the 'was' in the statement and asked slowly "Was?..."

Xelqua sighed "The void somehow messed up the coding and 'renamed' me."

The knight snorted "The voids screwed up. So your Grian's brother?"

He flinched "Yea." Wels 'oh'ed, and they sat there in silence "Why don't you tell him your alive?"

Xelpua put the panda down "I'm to scared. I've been dead to him for the last, what, six years?" Wels rolled his eyes "He'd be overjoyed to see you. Come on, we are going to his base."

Xelqua let Wels drag him to Grian's base. He did want to open up, but had been to terrified to do so.

Grian noticed Wels dragging the player 'Poultryman' in, and immediately became curious "Who's this?"

Wels plopped him down. "This is your former sleeper brother."

Xelqua sighed "Hi Grian."

Grian hugged him, and was rather happy, to say the least.



Sorry about the rushed ending. I'm not the best with fluff and stuff.

I also lost motivation at the end. Thanks for reading!

Bye costumers!
