(-A/N- Guys this is guaranteed to get dark, but not something you can't read. There will be blood. You have been warned.)

-Sky's POV-
Even though I couldn't see them, they'd somehow managed to get me from the cage, down two flights of stone stairs, and into a cell, without getting hurt. Correction: without dying. Each one had at least one broken bone, and all had several bruises. There were 8 of them. I managed to dislocate the shoulder of one. Of course, they got me down there in the weirdest of weird ways.
A metal collar was locked around my neck, and shackles were locked onto my ankles and wrists. A rope was tied to each shackle chain, and two ropes were also knotted to the collar. They literally had to drag me down the steps. I refused to walk because it hurt. But that doesn't mean I blatantly laid there limply.
I tugged and pulled backwards to the light, and two players held each of the four ropes holding me. When I felt it was steep on the steps, I tugged hard backwards and up, making them brace backwards the other way. Then I let go of my tension, and they tumbled down steps, while I laughed. They came back and one slapped me. It didn't end well.
Three had broken arms/ wrists/ hands, while four had other various bones broken- legs, ribs, etc. but one had a dislocated shoulder by a sudden pull made by me. It tugged his arm right out of its socket. But they managed, and tossed me deep into a cell. Two took all the ropes and tied them to various bedrock d-rings cemented into the walls.
Even then, I tugged at the ropes, and yet it still hurt to move. Ty and Anthony were brought down separately, and also in chains like mine. Ty told me that the dragon was muzzled, blindfolded, and its body was in a tied drawstring bag. We were each tied down in separate cells, and the dragon was given several collars to travel the length of his neck.
I hung my head in exhaustion. We were down far enough to kneel, but not enough to sit or lay down. I could stand easily, but it hurt too much after the horses. I suddenly heard footsteps echo from the stairwell. Someone was coming.
"Hello. You nasty creatures will most likely die here, so get comfortable. You will be fed one ration each meal, just enough so you don't die naturally, but not enough to make you sick. Understand?" No one answered. "Good. Now, you will receive a daily punishment for existing, and if you are to die, too bad. A world without you is one I'd rather live in than this one. Ta ta! Enjoy."
Anthony strung out curse after curse. "Son of a bitch. Asshole. Fuck. Damn it. Shit. Fuuuccckkkk..." "Anthony. Cursing isn't  helping the situation." "I know. But it makes me feel better." "Well stop. I don't want to hear it right now. I'm trying to think."
But then I heard another set of footsteps. This one came from within the cell block. A guard maybe? I heard the door to my cell open, and the steps approach. A deep gruff voice broke my train of thought. "Hello, what are you?"
Angrily, I snapped at him. "Son of Herobrine. What do you want?" "Oh! A nasty one. You're all nasty aren't you? Especially the lizard." "Lizard? Did you just call the dragon a lizard?" "A dragon you say? That doesn't look like a dragon to me. It's so puny."
"The dragon was reborn. Of course it's small now. Give it a day. That dragon will be bigger than the cell it's in." That's a fact, I've seen how fast dragons grow, and they stay super small until they want to grow. "Good luck with that. I wish I could see terror on your face when he grows. But I can't."
"You blind or something?" I flinched and growled. "Yes. I am." I heard him shift on his feet. "Really? And you're Herobrine's son? Why are you blind?"
"None of your business. Just know I am. So no sudden moves, okay?" "Fine. But know I've been told to 'punish' you for existing." "Oh I knew that already. I just care if you're an asshole or not. If you are, well fuck you. If not... I have no problem with you."
I heard him shift again. "Okay. I'm not... So don't hate me." "Dude. What did I just get done saying? I don't give a fuck if you aren't." "Well, bye. I gotta go." The footsteps of the man fade, and the cell door is shut and locked.
"Ty!" "What." "Where exactly are we?" "I don't know, Sky. I might as well be as blind as you. It's pitch black. There's one bit of light from the staircase, but it's not enough." "Okay..."
"Sky, I wish I could tell you, but I really can't see. Anthony can't if I can't, and he dragon can't communicate. It's speech got screwed up with the weird egg." "Oh. Ty?" "Yes?" "Are you nervous or anything?" "Nervous?"
"Yeah, like, concerned about what they're gonna do to us or anything..." "Well, kinda, but uh... Not really sure. I can't really describe it." I sorta just stayed silent, and leaned back on the wall. "Are you nervous, Sky?" "Hell yeah I'm nervous. I'm more concerned for the health of you three. I'll come back. You probably won't. That's what worries me most."
"We worry you? Seriously?" "You think I'm lying?" "No! I'm just surprised. I didn't think you felt that way about us. It's nice." "No problem." "Well, I think I just proved the dragon's theory."
"What?" "He said that even though you and I have never physically touched, he knew we had some kind of connection. This is that connection." "Oh... I didn't know we had a connection." Thinking about it, I realized something. "Wait. Ty, we've touched. I pulled you off the ground when I first met you."
"We-oh yeah! But I think he meant in the last three or four years. That was- what. Five years ago? Four and a half?" "Something like that..."
The next morning arrived, as Ty told me, and several sets of footsteps approached from the stairwell. Ty must be exhausted. He was up all night as usual, but they're keeping him awake. I could hear water splash, and Ty and Anthony both sputtering in protest. "What the hell?!" "Anthony. Relax." I just sat silently, awaiting something to happen beyond the watery awakening.
It happened. I heard all three of our cell doors open, and two of those players walked into my cell. I felt my restraints being loosened, and I tumbled to the floor, in too much pain to walk anymore. The two players pulled on the ropes, and it forced me to move. My muscles and bones screamed at me in protest, and I gave up with moving.
It was extremely too painful, and I couldn't do it. I collapsed, and it forced the players to carry me. I had no strength left, and I needed proper medical attention, or death. Both would help. But I needed one or the other.
Warmth spread over me, and I knew we were outside. I could hear Ty in the stairwell below, struggling against those holding him. The players set me down on a platform, and I heard lots of cheering as I collapsed to the wooden platform. A staff struck another platform, and it echoed, silencing the cheering players. A voice of heard yesterday echoed around me, as the man spoke.
"This is one of the horrible creatures living among us. This one shall be terminated this morning, due to severe injury. You will no longer be threatened by this one. Do your worst, Emilio."
The nicer voice I'd heard yesterday returned, and it rung out with anger, and forced discipline. He didn't want to. He was being forced. "I will make him suffer, my king." And hen his familiar footsteps approached me.
He whispered to me so no one else could hear. "You don't truly die, do you?" I slowly shook my head. He whispered again. "Come back and save your friends. Quickly. The second you die they'll bring out your friends." I nodded painfully. "See you soon then."
He held something cold to my head. A player's gun. The muzzle of the gun rested shakily on my head, but I couldn't see Emilio's face. A shot rang out, and I sat bolt upright in my bed. I regretted it, because my head hurt, and my body still screamed in pain. It wasn't as bad though, because the reincarnation had healed most of my wounds.
I teleported quickly to the last known location, and found my dad there. "Sky?" "Dad?! Why are you here?" "I'm looking for you! Fox came home wailing, and I knew something was wrong." "We have to get to the Barn kingdom. Like, as soon as possible."
Fox suddenly tripped on my foot, and yipped as I found him audibly, and picked him up. "Follow me Dad. Pinpoint my energy, and follow me." "How do you know where you're going?" "I have Ty's energy pinned. I'm teleporting to him. Just teleport to me."
With Fox in my arms, I teleported to Ty. I apparently landed on the platform next to him, because I heard a lot of gasps, and a few screams. I set Fox down, and my dad's heavy steps echoed out next to me. "You idiots have tried to kill my son and his friends. That was a horrible mistake. One you'll pay for."
I stop him. "You see, I can't die. But you have all made the mistake of believing this King that we're bad. We've kept you on track, and we've saved you in many cases. I may be blind, but I'm not useless or bad. I'm not the nasty creature your king has convinced you I am."
"My son has many capabilities, most of which you can never understand. His friends are of much value. They're the only two of their kind. And they started life like you!"
"I may not have been like you, but I still act like you. And to destroy that, is like destroying a guardian of your lands. We have much more than you may want to believe. Ty, and Anthony, they have lives more precious than my own. I have infinite lives, they have one.
And they are the only ones of their kind. No more exist. The dragon here, has been messed with, and has lost valuable memory and communication because of your fellow humans. The damage done to us by humans, is far worse than what we have done to you. Think about that he next time you want to kill one of our kinds."
My dad comes back in. "I have seen what my son has done around this land. He brought the new Flower King home, took time and taught him how to do everything he needed. He connected fantasy and reality. He actually brought two fantasy creatures to reality, and they were perfectly okay. Sky here has done miracles, things you could never achieve."
Suddenly, before my dad could continue, I heard Rob's voice, and Preston's, in the crowd. "Sky! Sky!!" "Preston?!" I picked out his energy, and teleported him to me, and I felt Rob come with him. "Sky! You're here!"
Preston and Rob tackled me, and I turned their attention to Ty and Anthony. They moved and untied both. I heard Preston argue with one of the humans, and hen I heard fabric as it was ripped open. The dragon. No one moved, but I knew the dragon was growing.
The sound it made as its bones stretched was ridiculously gruesome, but it stopped, and I no longer felt the warmth of the sun, only the dragon's cold scales around my legs. It was massive in size, and I could tell without seeing it.

-A/N- Guys. I got bad news. The day after this is uploaded, my cat died. I was there for it, so... ya know... May take a while before I keep uploading. Going through a really rough patch right now in life. Be patient, and be nice if you leave comments. Love you guys always!
