#zedtho

One thing he hadn't thought of was they were guarded by a massive dragon named Zedaph...and Zedaph was the first ever being to catch Etho in the act.

Since Etho had never been caught in the act before, the only thing plan he had was seducing the dragon, who was a good 40 feet tall at the shoulders.

Zed was amused by this and decided to keep Etho, partially because he's cute, and partially because having to shift into a human form was annoying and he was hoping if he had Etho he wouldn't have to do that.

Zed takes a lot of pride in his herd! They get only the best care, he's done a lot of research into caring for them. The gold is just a bonus, and most of it goes back into taking care of the sheep! He's always hated the trips into town - dodging questions is so tiring. And there's so many delicate things dragon claws can't do for sheep, it's a pain! Having somebody to help out would be great!

Etho won't deny, it's not how he expected this to go. He's a master thief, he did not expect to be shown how to sort food for a herd of sheep. Or how to care for their hooves, and how to clean their area. Working with Zed, it's hard to imagine him as the terrifying dragon that could kill him with a snap. He's even shorter than Etho!

When Etho is given a sack of thread to sell in the market, he thinks Zedaph is an idiot. This is enough for him to make an easy getaway and start again. He could return to his former life, no more hard labour needed.

Yet... He doesn't do it.

He debates it. He stares into the distance. He squeezes his hands around the fabric. And then he sells the threads, bartering with ease, and returns to Zed before the sun sets and he starts to worry. Zed greets him with a massive smile - shifting into human form just to give Etho a hug.

Well he might, when it comes to placing then lighting candles through every air block in an entire 16 by 16 chunk, from bedrock to build height. At least by the end of it he gets a kiss on the mask, just shy of where his lips would be, and a cool trophy!

Etho loves to dance! And he loves spinning around with Zedaph, watching his face light up as laughter fills the air. Sometimes they hug then sway back and fourth to comfort each other, sometimes they venture into nice open places with a jukebox and a disc then enjoy an afternoon together, and at other times they'll see each other and do silly little dances independantly before moving on with what they were doing

zedaph meets etho through mutual friend tango. immediately, zed develops a crush on etho but thinks there's no way etho could ever reciprocate, he's way out of zedaph's league. feeling unlucky in love, zed anonymously vents about his crush in a forum/fan page dedicated to his favorite show. he starts chatting with another user, bonding over their disastrous love lives and their shared interest in the show. this anonymous user (I know its a cliche, but) unbeknownst to zedaph, is etho!

now, though, his work has paid off. he's very proud he gets to be best man at their wedding. he's promised he won't tell too many embarrassing stories about the two lovebirds. little do they know how many he has...

Zedaph= Worm Man

For the longest time Worm man wanted to know whats under EX helmet. But he knew it was EX right to keep it on. After all! He also a wore a mask! But it was only matter of time till EX took off his helmet just a bit. Something about him seemed familiar, he couldn't pin point it. The scar look like ethos, and so does his eyes! But surely not! Better just keep kissing his boyfriend who trusted him enough to see his face.
