@copper-dragon-in-disguise HI I WAS YOUR SECRET SANTA THIS YEAR!!!!!! I'm so so so sorry for the delay, I tried really hard to get this out on time but couldn't finish it before now, I hope you'll enjoy it even if it's late!

I had a lot of fun figuring out what I wanted to make for this! It was hard to choose a concept but in the end I settled for sneaky cookie thief Etho with Impulse, Grian and Tango light shenanigans in the background.

Here are some character close ups!

Hello this is a gift for @bonthebanana on Tumblr. It's part of the Hermitcraft secret Santa exchange on Tumblr

Hey Bon hope you like this!

I think I got possessed by a ghost writing this so I hope you enjoy. I wish you happy holidays!

For anyone that doesn't want to go on AO3 the story is under the cut

The Dark

Once upon a time King Xisuma ruled with a wise head on his shoulder. His Kingdom the most advanced in all aspects of Redstone and many more.

But just this isn't worth the story I'm telling you can read all about that in history books. I'm here to tell you about the story of how they fell and the magic they brought to this world.

As many historians will tell you the old Empire slowly fizzled to a stop after King Xisumas death. Without a competent leader greed and ambition destroyed the glorious empire.

While this is in many ways still true they left out how Xisuma died.

As said before the Old Empire was advanced in redstone technology to a degree that we now can still learn from. All of their accumulated knowledge was collected and studied in Loglands.

But as time went on and there was nothing left of redstone to test or to understand. They put their minds to a new goal.

In their archives was a script that promised to bring magic into this world. And you know how scientists are what wouldn't they do for a chance to explore and discover a new science. For them it was just that something new and exciting to study sadly they had no idea of what was about to come.

And so Xisuma allowed the ritual to take place to make room for new improvements and a new era.

The first few months were going great new fields of study were opened and the economy boomed with the knowledge traveling wide and far of how magic was now a reality.

But slowly and surely something dark came through an evil so great I don't have the compasity too explain to you dear reader.

It's plan, destroy and devour all it can find.

To be fair too the scholars of the old empire they did notice their impending doom rather quickly, sadly all of their attempts of fighting back just got them killed quicker.

King Xisuma having studied magic himself for the last months only saw one last option for his people to survive.

A ritual that promised ones own soul to the void in exchange for imprisonment of the dark.

King Xisuma that day lost his soul and Xisumavoid was born and for now the dark was imprisoned and no danger to anyone.

Xisuma left some instructions of how to defeat or imprison it again should it ever be able to get free. Only his most loyal advisors and guards stayed to protect the prison, most other people fled and abandoned the Empire to afraid of what would happen if they stayed.

Their knowledge was destroyed and in big parts just lost to time.

No my dear reader you might think what about magic? Why do we not have it? Did it get destroyed as the dark got imprisoned?

No magic did still exist it got used by many people and was a big part of their lifes. Magic left our world the second time that the dark put foot on our world.

You see centuries after the old empire, just a small village remained. The children of the advisors and guards that decided to stay all this time ago where preparing for a return of the dark.

No one really expected anything to happen but still they can't be to careful.

And so it comes that Cleo the major of our village goes down every week to report and document any changes of the void prison.

It lays deep down a mine that their ancestors built long ago when the fear of the dark escaping was still fresh.

They prepared new weapons each year always on the highest point in technology. Their wizards were one of the most knowledgeable in the world.

And so dear reader we come to the part of the story where the world ends 2.0.

As one day Major Cleo went down the mine to do a routine check it happened the dark was starting to escape.

From their calculations they still had two months until the dark was completely free.

Cleo ordered the children and any villager that wasn't trained in fighting to go and find shelter in a far away city. If they couldn't stop the dark here they needed to take the knowledge they gathered and show it to them in hopes that a higher mass of people and more resources might be enough.

We still got some remnants of them books and blueprints they brought to Hermittopia all this time ago but without magic non of them are really useful.

And sadly dear reader I can't tell you that our heroic city killed the dark with ease. Most of them died fighting it and the rest succumbed to their injuries not long after. With the fight nearly lost Cleo repeated the ritual with the void. It was always supposed to be the last straw. Do the ritual if everything else fails, this is what her parents told them a long time ago and really what other choice did she have now?

And do she did but and this is important Cleos plan was never to just imprison the dark again, they wanted to kill it ones and for all.

And so they traded the most valuable thing they could think of, magic and all the knowledge that it ever existed.

Just as with Xisuma, Cleo lost her soul that day and the world lost it's magic.

Now dear reader the void might be a powerful being but standing here on the ruins of the old empire and Cleos small village you can still feel the magic in the world not everything got removed.

This is the reason why my firm Mined has placed it's buildings right here, we can still harness the old power that's inherit to this place of earth. We are now able to take our experiments to the next level. That the Human mind is now able to understand will cease to impress when we are finished.

For a better Future
