a monster is a distorted copy of reality.

Redza felt almost as if he blended in with his surroundings. Sending a nod to a zombie pigman, who have a rather disgruntled snort in return, turning away, Redza pushed away the urge to just scoff towards the nether mob. He stalked along, blending in with the red netherrack, and he stepped across the expanse of the nether blocks, feeling them slightly soft and squishy underneath his shoes. He passed a cluster of quartz shards sticking out in a clump of scarlet netherrack. Nearby, Redza could spot from the corner of his eye a crimson forest, where a hoglin complained and growled loudly, a horde of piglins shoot into its hide with golden tipped arrows. Redza grinned to himself, and continued his trek and journey through the hell dimension. Rounding a corner, he genuinely did not know what he expected- But a tall figure with a veil over their face was- A surprise. A much needed and welcome surprise, but still a shocker to Redza. "Voidza!" He called cheerfully, and the darker figure looked down. They sat, with their arms rested on the very part of netherrack, his head rested on his forearms. He shifted, and Redza noticed him breathe in and out softly. The larger figure seemed to be relaxed, and it made Redza happy. Walking over, a shadow slightly cast over, with Voidza's dark outfit highlighted and brightened from the lava lakes below and the spills of lava from the roof. Redza thought that he was gorgeous, lit up like this, so strikingly contrast against the warmer colours of the dimension that surrounded the two. Voidza's soft breathing mixed with the noises around the two- the faint bubbling of lava, the pitter patter of baby hoglins running between the trees, the mobs around the two. The taller lay out their palm toward Redza, a silent gesture, and he took a moment to scramble up onto Voidza's hand. He sat comfortably as the hand he was sat on moved, bringing him closer to Voidza's face. It could be a little daunting for a stranger, sure, but Redza had come to love Voidza for all of his features and traits, a warm smile spreading across his face. Voidza lifted his hand, to look down at the smaller Redza, who reached into the pockets he had. "Here- Wait, I have a gift." he said to Voidza, who tilted his head a little in curiosity. Being pulled out of his pocket was a netherite ingot, and Voidza gave a soft chuckle at the cheesiness as Redza beamed proudly. Voidza reached his other finger up, towards Redza, who moved forward and hugged onto his hand. "Thank you." Voidza murmured, and the two of them stayed close and together, just to two of them surrounded by warmth and flame.

hope y'all enjoy that, and have a wonderful day !!
