While running through the endless maze X tripped over his feet, hitting his knees against the concert flooring. X Winced at the pain, apon opening his eyes he noticed a par of shoes standing in front of him. Xisuma looked up seeing Keralis standing there looking down at him concerned "You alright?" Keralis reached a hand down to help X up but X would refuse the help and stand up on his own. "I'm alright.." it was awkward knowing Keralis now knows his secret, everyone within this little game knows his secret. Xisuma looked up to check the time seeing it tic down from 6 to 5. X sighed in relief knowing it was over, he wouldn't have to see any more hermits hurt. "X?" Xisuma opened his eyes seeing Keralis was able to touch him and he immediately backed away "don't!" X shouted without thinking "wha?.." Keralis was confused, X doesn't normally act this way. "stay away I cannot control this" Keralis stood there confused before finally getting it "you're it! just tag me X!" Keralis shouted realized X for half an hour held onto this 'it' role. "No! I won't hurt anyone, time's almost up anyways you would die!" X backed away trying to keep distance but Keralis kept closing it.
Keralis was inches away from Xisuma, X felt the spell get stronger 'til he couldn't hold it back any longer. Tagging Keralis "Tag, you're it" a smile on Xisuma face, Keralis heard the timer buzz his eyes widen knowing it was over.
BANG
Xisuma snapped back into reality, he wasn't dead? Why wasn't he-... oh no.. Xisuma immediately turned around seeing Keralis standing there not moving and inch "Keralis.. why didn't you listen to me" Xisuma walked up to Keralis "I'd rather me than you, you have a server to run" Keralis spoke putting and hand on Xs head. Tears streamed down Xs face, pulling Keralis into a hug before he could collapse "I'm sorry."
