The Day Nebtho Dies (How to break a PurpleSky Fic)
hehehehehehe
Chirps of the birds were distracting the two from their opportune moments of being with one another. The two wished for this moment and time to be real, but they never told their wishes a loud. They always wonder about one another...waiting...hoping that the other says it first. Here's the thing, both know how one another feels; yet, neither one has the courage to say it. Until...
"Hey Nebs look!" Etho beckoned him to come over to his spot
"What is it this time Etho?" Nebris asked, unamused
"Its actually something pretty cool! Look at it! Its....-"Etho was cut off by Nebris' observation
"Changing colors?"
"OH! OH! I've seen this before, it's one of those 'moodshrooms'!" Etho came to an exciting realization; acting like a child who discovered 20 tons of untouched candy
"I've seen these before in my studies....b-but these are very dangerous, y-you don't want to mess around with it!" Nebris was choking up while talking, he remembers learning of the tribal men that guard it's precious plant. It held powers, both evil, godly, and good. Weather or not the right power is used upon its beholder, well, that's up to their true intentions. Hence the reason it's a 'moodshroom'.
"Are you afraid, Nebris....?"
"No." Nebris wanted to stand his ground,"I have more knowledge on these type of things than you."
Etho rolled his eyes and reached his hand out for the plant, gradually, as Nebris watched in worry. Etho laid his hand on the top of the mystical plant, as he did, the top slowly turned to a pink. The pink went from the top of the 'shroom to its roots. Etho kept his hand on it, the pink transformed to pure red. As this occurred, Nebris noticed immediately and turned red while looking at his feet. He tried to avoid this blushing as much as he could.
Etho lifted his hand slowly from the plant - it changed back to its original multi-colored state. He turned his head to look at Nebris; but Nebris had his head turned away from Etho, he was acting that he didn't care about Etho was doing. But, honestly, he would want to be with Etho even more.
"Nebris..."
He turned around to face Etho, who was sitting criss-crossed on the floor next to the powerful plant.
"Yes, Etho."
"I think...we've made an important discovery here..."
"I think I have too..." Nebris mumbled looking at the pink diluting from the 'shroom
"What do you mean?"
"Oh nothing, it's just...the pink."
"You mean the pink on the plant?"
"Yeah that. Just forget it. I. I. Nevermind."
Etho didn't buy Nebris' ploy to hide what he was trying to say.
"Okay....."Etho responded, not questioning what Nebris' was trying to say,"we should get this back to the others, they'll love this!"
"But be careful, there are dangers in this jungle."Nebris warned
"Who said I'm going to bring it back a lone. You're coming with me." Etho smiled
Nebris turned pink for the millionth time today, he threw out all his warnings to the wind, and followed what Etho said.
------/\------
The path back home brought foreshadowing terrors
"Hey Etho, look up a head. I've never seen that before..."
"What are you looking at?"
Nebris pointed in the direction of a large, dark, shadow. Etho squinted towards it. The two stopped in their path; the awkward position Etho was in, caused him to trip backwards, and stomp one of his feet in the muddy mess they had been walking on.
Squish
The shadow raised what it had seemed to be its head. Deep yellow circles followed as the dark figure turned. It raised its arms, where its meal became visible to the couple. Between them was pure moonlight shining in through the trees. The moonlight revealed red substance that has been flowing like a river towards them. The yellow circles were focused on the multi-colored familiar phenomenon in Etho's hands. The figure growled in a low yet deep tone, revealing its large fangs.
Nebris held Etho closer to him without even realizing it. Etho didn't care just as much Nebris.
The figure growled again, but this time in a particular pattern. As it did longer and deeper replies followed, and it came closer. Some higher pitched than others, some even closer than others. Within seconds, more couplets of yellow circles appeared surrounding them. Every single one of them, eyeing the 'moodshroom'.
"N-N-Nebris..."Etho turned his head, whispering, having a terrified expression on his face,"I-I-I'm scared."
"I am too. But we'll make it through this together."
The yellow circles were still surrounding them, and an awkward silence was among them. Slowly, peace started to take over, and there was less tension.
But out of no where, a Grim reaper-type claw came into Nebris' line of sight for a split second, before he felt immense pain, but it was immediately followed by darkness. Nebris fell on his back, with an enormous cut upon his face, that teared skin. Etho impulsively turned to look back at Nebris, with a tragic look on his face. He was shaking, mouth wide open, and staring. From the darkness of the trees came pouncing out, a bi-pedal, scaly, being with large claws. It was like it had the claws of the a Syther. It ran towards Etho jumping on him, scratching him with the knife like claws. Etho tried to fight back, but every one of his swigs did less than satisfactory damage. It felt like millions were on top of him, but it was only one of the many yellow eyes.
The creature left Etho and Nebris' being, it took the 'moodshroom' from his grasp. Leaving the two behind, helpless and hopeless. Covered in cuts and bruises, releasing precious blood. But, Etho managed to lift himself up, to turn and look at his best companion with watery eyes.
"E-Etho i-is it over...?" Nebris tried to speak, but didn't have the energy to. He was starting to feel large pressure on his heart, and white spots in his vision.
"Y-Yes it's over th-the monsters are gone. W-We survived..." Etho tried to smile, tearing up while looking at Nebris' dying self. Etho was choking up with his words, his cheeks were becoming wetter, Nebris was watching.
"E-Etho..."Nebris tried to speak, but he ended up coughing,"I-I l-l-love y-y..."
"What? What do you love?! Nebris! Don't die on m-me!"Etho pleaded, choking on his own tears. A single tear from his eyes, dripped from his cheek, to Nebris'.
"...Y-You...."this was the last word he said, before he said no more words.
Etho, speechless, collapsed on to Nebris' body, crying on him.
"I love you...t-t-too..." Was Etho's final words before he lost the majority of his blood from he cuts.
The mindcrackers, later found the two's bodies, and held a funeral for the couple.
