Midfield

Midfield (referred to as M for remainder of the story) had nothing left to lose. He saw the instant destruction of an entire world at the hands of one person. He stood before that man as he slowly advanced towards the small group of survivors, the light of a new sun gleaming behind him. He watched as people were flung into the portal, with little but a wave of the hand from Rose. What could he do but run? Elytra on, he managed to get off the ground and start flying as fast and as far as he could. Unlike the rest of the group, who were simply flying away from the light, he flew up, expending almost a hundred fireworks in the process. However, he managed to escape the light, and found a way above it, into the void. The new ceiling of the world sat below him, but he kept moving upwards, determined not to land on that ceiling and fall back into ignorant servitude. After a few dozen more fireworks used, he saw something on the horizon. A small island, with grass and a single tree. On it sat a girl, staring lonely into the distance, not aware that he had just swooped up from the depths below. M started a decent towards the island, hoping she might have some answers for him. He landed softly on a bed of dirt, and the girl turned her head to look at him. “Who are you? How did you even get here?” She asked. “I have no idea, but I know that the cause was beyond anything I could imagine.” He replied, struggling to stand. She turned away, and looked downward at the void below. “So, a product of some sort of cosmic force? Guess we know what’s been keeping me here...”. The girl walked over to the tree, and dug into some dirt below, revealing a small hole and cave. “Do you...have a name?” M asked. “No, I’ve forgotten why I’m here, why I was sent here, pretty much everything about anything before this island.”she looked at him as though she wished she could remember like he did. “Well, those things I saw, maybe it’s best I forget”“You want to forget, well here there’s nothing to remember, nor is there death, or disease, or even time, from what I know” the girl replied. “I just want to see the world again, to leave this forsaken island.” M piped up at that idea, “so if you want to leave, and I want to stay, then maybe we can work something out.” He took of his elytra and handed it to her. “These can get you down, I don’t think they’re in very good shape, but it’s better than nothing, right? Without them, you’d fall and die before you even get to the world”. She waited for a long moment, staring in awe on the wings before slowly putting them on. “Well, I guess we can call it even then...just remember to keep that tree alive, it’s the only way I was able to sustain this island.” “Got it” M replied, eager to get to work on the island. “I might try and make this place look a little better now that I’m here.” “Go right ahead” she answered. And with that, she fell down into the void, opening the wings such that she could control her decent. -fbimemedatabase
