Percy



Percy Verance (He/They) is a character in the Crowhollow SMP. He's a naïve, kind, friendly, clever faerie with red hair, two golden rings in his horns, and broken wings. While Hanna is the main perspective of falling into the manipulation of the Wither Skulls, Percy gives main perspective of breaking free from such manipulation. This causes the characters to become foils in most scenes they are in together as you get farther into season 1.

The 8 months
Percy had woken up in a strange alter room without any memories and to a voice calling their name. This voice, he would find out, originated from a Wither skull. Percy, naïve in his new life, trusted the Witherskull to guide him through this situation. He found that whenever he left the cave the alter room was in, he would be attacked by cultist pillagers, so the faerie decided to create a little hobbit hole- esque home for himself in the hill just over the alter room. Percy found companionship and guidance within the Witherskull, and felt great loyalty towards it in return.

Percy adopted each of his llamas one by one. Wandering traders would fall to the cultists, and leave their cargo, so the faerie would take in the animals as his own. Guapito, Angy, M'Breh, Reginald, and Spitz were the names of each of his Llamas. Percy loved them very much. The Witherskull would use this to it's advantage later.

Episode 1: A Normal Day in my Life
The series opens with Percy trying to sleep, but not being able to due to there being a Pillager near by. He mentions that events such as these interrupt his nights frequently. He puts his journal away and dispatches the cultist. By time he's done with it, it's morning time, so he decides to put sleep aside, write a journal entry, and do a few chores. During his writing, he mentions a mysterious "It" which he feels the need to mine gold for.

As Percy is getting ready in his store room, you get a better idea of what his situation is: he mentions that he's been in this home for 8 months since he woke up with no memories, and that he's been mostly without company this whole time. The company he does have are pillagers, who try to kill him on sight. Percy goes out to his front yard make a wheat farm. The faerie passes by his llama pen and notices a creeper inside. He doesn't want to go near for fear of the creeper blowing his llamas up. He mentions already having lost one. He seems to care about all his llamas and is sad that one had died. Percy starts construction on his wheat farm. He explains that it's been pretty hard to live without one due to his philosophy of not killing anything that doesn't attack him first. (So he doesn't go out of his way to kill cows and other animals for food) Percy laments that it's been lonely, he doesn't know if there are many other people in this world, and talking to himself is barely working as is, though he does mention that he didn't build the ruins across the stream from his house. That's been there since he woke up.

Upon realizing that a shovel would be better to dig dirt with, Percy goes inside to get one. He passes by a guest room, and wistfully shows his imaginary friend the letter he wrote for any potential guest that may come over. Percy goes back to his store room and looks for a shovel. He sees some golden armor in a chest and says that he should get rid of it soon. He opens his chest to an abundance of coal and mentions he goes mining a lot. He doesn't seem to have much riches other than coal, having only a few diamond tools such as his axe, which he will later name "The Power Of Friendship." Something seems to be using his resources up, but he doesn't mention anything about it. He does mention that there are a lot of things under his house. He doesn't clarify much other than a tunnel which he had turned into a mineshaft with the amount of time he's been mining. Percy makes his shovel and continues with his farm.

Percy finishes his farm and goes into his house to sleep. The night passes uneventfully.

The next day, Percy plans on going to the nether. He admits he hasn't been in awhile. He doesn't like it, but he says he needs the gold for something. He builds a portal in his backyard. Deciding to use his golden armor one last time, he goes through into the nether. Right outside his portal, he sees an upside down dog. It's not Percy's. This gives him hope that there may be other people in this world other than him, the pillagers, and the wandering traders. Upon seeing a skeleton, Percy realizes he didn't bring any weapons. He tries to go back through the portal, but appears in a strange room, which he doesn't show much of, instead panicking and saying that he shouldn't be there. That he's only supposed to be there once a week. He goes back through the portal. He continues his panic and says he probably used to live in the nether, but he hates it. He determines that he wants to get as much gold as possible and go home.

As he's mining gold, Percy apologizes for his lack of vision. He is nearsighted and can't see very far ahead.

Percy can't find too much gold, but hopes that "it" will be satisfied. He nervously jokes that it isn't his life on the line, but quickly tells himself that that's a bad joke and he shouldn't mention it. After getting a stack of Gold, Percy goes through the portal to once again find himself in the mysterious room. Instead of panicky, Percy sounds resigned. He bids his imaginary friends farewell and goes to do something off camera.

Episode 2: Flower Hunting
Percy wakes up and decides to go flower hunting in order to find enough to make a garden. He reveals that this adventure is mostly to cheer him up. He had been pretty sad lately and flowers cheer him up. Percy takes his axe and sets off, passing by the now destroyed nether portal he had used last episode. Percy wonders how many different types of flowers he can find. Since he woke up, he's only seen red and yellow flowers since he hasn't been outside of his house very much due to his duty of mining gold and threats from pillagers. Percy daydreams that he could have been a world explorer before he woke up. He doesn't remember anything, so it could have been possible. Because of this little daydream, Percy feels energized to explore until he finds a new color of flower. He happily thinks of the different types of flowers he could find. Maybe a blue, MAYBE A PURPLE! Percy foes on a rant on how he likes the color purple.

As Percy gets far enough away from home, he feels a headache coming on. It takes a lot of work to keep out the voice in his head. Upon thought, Percy decides that he doesn't like golden/yellow flowers and throws them away. He goes on to say how he likes red flowers. He realizes that he has the basic color scheme of the red flowers, so he calls them "Percy Flowers" not knowing any other name to call them. This will become that flower's name for the rest of the series.

Percy decides to head back, but wants to continue the search in the morning. As he heads back, he decides to start making up songs for himself to sing (This was mainly because Percy, the Youtuber, did not want be be copyright struck again after being done so on the first episode) Percy gets home and gets ready for bed. He determines that the next day he will continue working on singing a song, and go in a separate direction, since the last direction did not give him much luck in his goal of flower discovery. He goes around the ruins, not wanting to go near them, and towards a random direction. Percy finds a cat, but believes that it'd be better off without him. As he explores, Percy continues to collect red flowers and starts singing another song.

"Growing a garden with Percy, I'm picking red flowers, not yellow flowers cuz I don't like them anymore. Red Flowers are pretty cool, I'm gonna make a garden full, 64 and 1 and 2, I have a lot of red flowers" He continues with different variations of this tune for the next while. Percy comes across another land after crossing an ocean. He's never seen a biome such as the spruce forest he found, and he had never been that far from home. Despite this, he couldn't find any flowers other than red and yellow ones. As it turns nighttime, he decides to head back. He starts getting nervous and regretful that he left in the first place. He took a day off without asking "it" and Percy begins to worry about the consequences. Percy convinces himself that it'll be fine. "It'll be fine" becomes a constant saying throughout the series.

Percy builds himself a boat, and on his travel home, improvises a song from his heart.

The Boatsong vvv

"As I boat under the moonlight, with a sky that has no moon, I hope that I will get home soon, because I have to see this through, Though I have many flowers, I wish I had some more, Flowers bloom and blossom in the sunlight, A place where I cannot reside for long, I wish I could keep boating forever, I know I will have to stop soon, As I boat I have no worries, When I reach land- I do, I don't think I remember anything, It shouldn't really scare me but it does, because I could pass by something, I knew in the life that was, I could pass by a chest, I could pass by a home, I could pass by anything, even people I used to know, I'm not sure if I'll remember, If I do, will I like what I find, Cuz the one thing I remember isn't good, What if the rest falls in kind."

Percy continues boating through the night. In the morning he comes across a sunken pirate ship, and a strange alter. He explores the pirate ship and keeps away from the alter, not wanting to disturb it in case it belongs to "it. " Percy laments being out for several days and not finding a new type of flower. He gets home and switches the moral of his journey to a more optimistic approach. Even if he didn't pick flowers, he had learned and seen a lot on his journey. The sunken ship and ruins give him hope that he may not be alone in this world. He goes into the guest room and puts a whole stack of flowers into the chest for any potential guest he may have.

Episode 3: Flower hunting Aftermath
Percy is sobbing and having a mental breakdown. He only has a different axe than his usual one and some meat in his inventory. He takes out his journal and opens it up. He tries to write, but he can't stop crying. He assures himself that whatever happened, it was "For the best" several times over. He keeps repeating it until it crescendos into another sobbing fit and then some. He finally, in a small voice, tries to convince himself that he needs to "help it save the world" and that he strayed from his duty so he deserved the consequences. He doesn't write what happened in his journal, writing that the journal didn't deserve such negativity inside of it. He puts his journal away and goes to sleep.

The scene cuts to the next morning with a forcibly happier mood. Percy tries to act like there's nothing wrong. He plans on building his flower garden and moving his fountain, which was off center. As Percy is looking through his storage room for supplies, he sees the axe in his hotbar and suddenly becomes aggressive towards it, saying that he'll destroy it. He starts leaving the house, and realizes that he's hurt to near death. He's been in shock all night and morning that he didn't realize how hurt he was due to what happened the night before. The video cuts and it's some time later, Percy is full health once more and he's ready to start gardening. He outlines his whole yard with Percy flowers and turns his attention to the fountain. thinking that it'd look better centered by two, and not wanting to go back to the nether, Percy decides to make a new fountain in approximately the same style out of cobble stone, this time centered by two. Percy mentions while taking apart the old fountain that it was one of the first things he build when waking up. He had planned on making a house near it, but decided on staying in his hobbit hole like home soon after.

Percy is distracted once again by the diamond axe in their hot bar and destroys it by burning it up. Percy apologizes for not talking much and admits that the night before was hard for him, but that it was apparently necessary. Percy decorates the destroyed nether portal. After sleeping, Percy takes one last look at the whole garden with satisfaction. He once again wishes for more variety in flowers, and then wishes his imaginary friends goodbye.

Episode 4: Journey to Crowhollow 1/2 and Hunting Jboy 2/2
This two part video is a shortened down version of Hanna's first Crowhollow stream, with a few extra bits added in. Hanna had come across Percy as he was getting attacked by pillagers while checking on his llamas. He invites her inside his home to escape the attackers. (On the stream itself, while Hanna is entering the house, only one llama is in the pen instead of four.) Percy seems to be out of breath and in pain. He thanks Hanna for helping him. Hanna asks if he's okay. "I'm sorry, it was talking to me, and it friggin..." signifying that something caused his lapse of composure leading to the attack. Before he can say more, Percy realizes that there is indeed an actual person in front of him, and his brain immediately shifts to that topic. He's excited that he gets to meet an actual person after being mostly alone he past 8 months. Hanna asks if Percy lives alone. Percy jokes about how there are pillagers constantly trying to kill him to the point where they might as well live with him, but does confirm he lives alone. Hanna offers for Percy to come back to Crowhollow with her. During this, hearable to only Percy and the audience, is the voice in Percy's head, soft, slow and methodical, saying "You must always come back to me." Percy, upon hearing this, tells Hanna that he can visit, but he must return to his home soon. That night, Percy invites Hanna to sleep in the guest room. Percy goes to bed in his own room, and hears in his dreams, from the same voice as before "I will give you a week with your new friend, but you must do some things in Crowhollow for me. Do not stop your golden quest. You'll know what to do with it when the time comes..." Hanna and Percy get ready the next day, the voice in Percy's head whispering softly, trying to convince the faerie that it is the only one he can trust. As they are leaving, Percy comments that he may not be a good judge of character, but Hanna does seem nice. As they leave the house, they get attacked by a pillager in a boat, Hanna escapes okay, Percy gets shot with an arrow. Hanna asks if Percy is okay, Percy assures her that he's been through much worse. "As you can see by my wings, I am... kinda used to pain" Hanna asked what happened to them, seeing the broken and contorted appendages sprouting from his back, but the voice in Percy's head blurs out the answer in her stream. Percy doesn't notice. "I woke up 8 months ago to a lot of pain and... those were my wings" he replied. The voice assures him that it would fix his wings. As the journey goes on, the voice in Percy's head continues to interrupt his speech, unknown to him. Hanna grows somewhat suspicious of him, while Percy is non-the-wiser. Hanna starts hearing voices in her head, and Percy assures her that it's a normal occurrence. Hanna offers for Percy to stay in Oakheart while she goes off on a quest, but Percy admits that he doesn't trust many people and that he doesn't wanna be alone in a strange village, so he states that he wants to go with her.

While Hanna is talking, Percy interrupts her, asking what type of flowers she just passed. He becomes excited when he discovers a whole field of different types of flowers, including his desired blue and purple ones. Hanna convinces Percy away from the field by assuring him that there are more flowers in Crowhollow. The duo pass by a nether portal, and Percy expresses relief that they aren't going any closer to it. On a short meal break, Hanna hands Percy some meat, and he comments he's never had meat before. Hanna asks if he's vegetarian, and Percy replies that he just doesn't have the heart to kill anything without reason. Percy acts as a sympathetic ear to Hanna as she talks about her backstory and why she's doing what she's doing.

The pair arrive at Crowhollow, and the voice inside Percy's head reminds him that he is only visiting for one week.

Hanna shows Percy around Crowhollow and he is thoroughly impressed. Hanna decides to bring him along to help hunt Jboy. He doesn't exactly know what he's getting himself into, but he joins her nonetheless. During the walk, Hanna talks about the three lives system. Percy does not know how many lives he has left. Hanna hears more voices in her head, Percy once again assures that it's normal to hear it. It's noted that Percy is slower moving than almost every other character. He has to carry the weight of his broken wings.

When they get to Jboy's castle, Percy shows that he doesn't exactly know what's going on. He compliment Jboy on his villainous speech and makes quick friends with Enderglowboy, and doesn't quite understand why everyone's fighting, but he's glad to be included. When Glow and Jboy offer some gold, Percy is very quick to take it.

Episode 5: Ear of the storm
Percy is hiding in a diner in Crowhollow, not wanting to be killed by mobs. He talks about all the new food he's encountered, not having much in his own home. He states that it's a day and a half into his visit of Crowhollow. He had picked a lot of new flowers and seems to enjoy talking to the new people. He mentions that he did manage to get some gold, but he's not quite sure where to put it yet since he hasn't explored much. The faerie is free to roam the city, 'cept for a few key places, and he had apparently been watch suspiciously until that day. Percy explains that it's been calm for him in Crowhollow other than the voice in his head being as active as ever. He worries that it's louder now that he's in Crowhollow, and the fact that Hanna can hear the voice too signifies that it's real, and not just his imagination.

While being attacked by a zombie, Percy exclaims on an impulse that dying isn't fun, but later admits he doesn't exactly remember if he's died or not. Percy then goes over to the farm and begins to work, feeling weird for staying in Crowhollow for free. He takes a golden axe from a community chest and then asserts that he now really must work to pay back for it.

Percy works alone for a little bit, admitting that he's not used to all these new people yet, but he finds he experience nice. Percy acknowledges that he heard Hanna when she said he wasn't speaking right, and knows that it was probably the voice in his head that caused it. He had said things out of line, it was only right for the voice to blur it out. Suddenly, louder than we've ever heard it, the voice calls Percy's name. Percy begs for the voice not to speak to him in public, but it continues. The voice is obviously the authority of the pair, and we can see that while it feigns care for the faerie which Percy believes full heartedly, it also threatens punishment. Percy begs to be left alone, saying that he just needs a break, that he's still grieving his llamas and experiencing the trauma of their deaths, that Spitz is the only one left. The voice blames their deaths on Percy, and Percy, full of guilt, agrees with the accusation and apologizes. He didn't follow orders, those were his consequences. The voice continues to gaslight Percy, saying that it's the only one he can trust and that its cause is a good one. Percy, being raised these past 8 months to believe it, agrees. Percy agrees not to tell anyone about the voice or his quest. The voice vaguely threatens that his last llama will face the consequences if Percy disobeys with anything. Percy begs for mercy. He'll do whatever the voice wants as long as Spitz is safe in the end. The last thing he wants to do is kill his last llama friend. Percy says this feels wrong, but the voice tells him not to trust his feelings The voice is much older and all knowing, Percy has only lived 8 months as himself. Percy begs to stay another week in Crowhollow, the voice agrees, as long as Percy gives it gold twice a week next week instead of once a week. Percy readily accepts. The voice commands him to go to the Pavilion and give the gold there before leaving Percy's mind for now.

Percy gets attacked by a skeleton on the way there and hides in the diner once again. He laments that when he left his home, he felt much freer than he had ever felt, but when he reached Crowhollow, the feeling was much similar to his home, except more so. More suffocating. He wants to stay because of the people, but he feels that there is something deeply wrong with Crowhollow, and he doesn't know what yet. He's scared that the voice is getting bored of him, disappointed of him, and might replace him soon. He assures himself that he'll be fine.

the next day, Percy donates all the melons he harvested, and awkwardly says hello to an avoidant Watermuffin. as he goes to the pavilion to do his duties, Percy remembers that Enderglowboy announced that the gold he gave everyone is fake. Percy trusts Glow enough to believe him and not give the fake gold to the voice. Believing that he is in the calm spot of the "ear" of the storm, Percy walks towards the pavilion with only a golden nugget and a golden axe in hand as the screen fades to black.

Stream 2: A Conflicted Heart
At the beginning of the stream, Hanna mentions that she doesn't completely trust Percy, because ever since she's met him, she's been hearing a voice in her head which turned out to be a Witherskull who had appeared in the pavilion. It had threatened Crowhollow unless she gave it gold.

Percy agrees to go on a quest with Hanna and Jboy, happy to help his new friend. On the way to the stables, Percy suggests they take the long route in the aim of him not passing by the Witherskull, which was what he had found in the pavilion of the last episode. Hanna agrees with no questions on why he doesn't want to go that way and they go the long way, both unknowing of the other's knowledge of the Witherskull. Hanna explains out of earshot of Percy that she's taking Jboy and Percy because she doesn't trust them to be alone for a long time.

Hanna insists that the group hurry, but Percy is a bit more slow paced in movement due to his nearsightedness and broken wings. He grabs a horse and trails behind the two faster characters. Percy has no suspicion that Hanna is doing her quest for the Witherskull instead of just Watermuffin, and believes in the best of his friend. He's confused on why Hanna wants to be so fast paced on the journey, but he doesn't push too much on the subject. Percy complains that there are too many nether portals about and that he doesn't like them. Jboy offers Percy some meat, but he refuses it in favor of the watermelons in his inventory. When Jboy and his horse fall into the water, Percy jumps in to save them, but he's too slow. By time he can do anything, both are already saved. Along the way, the group comes across two llamas, but before Percy can lay claim to them, Hanna insists that they continue moving. Percy is disappointed, but follows orders. When Jboy says that something he saw was a daydream, Percy mentions that daydreaming on long roads is common. He says he knows a lot of things, but he just doesn't know how he knows them. Hanna asks about his memory loss and broken wings, and Percy stalls just enough for the sea side village, Blood Moon Cove, to come into view. The group gets distracted by that and Percy doesn't break his promise to the skulls of not telling anyone anything.

The group goes into Deevereebast Inn and gets ambushed by pirates. Percy makes quick friends with one of them in the background of Hanna negotiating with the pirate captain. Percy tags along with the group, happy to be included and unaware of the animosity between his party and the pirates. He mentions that his new pirate friend gave him more melons during the boat ride over. As they are boating back, Percy asks the while pirate crew to be his friends.

After they get back to shore Percy asks if Hanna's okay, seeing how she's continuing to rush herself into a frenzy, saying that he wouldn't think Watermuffin would give her too strict of a time limit. The group decides to stay the night in the inn. Percy chooses the room by the door on the ground floor. Percy looks out the window into the night for awhile, pondering, until he sees Hanna leave the inn. Hanna sees him, and walks back to him, needing to find an excuse on why she's leaving. Hanna tells Percy that she's going on a walk to clear her head. Percy offers to join, but Hanna declines it. Percy admits that he's noticed that Hanna's been stressed and offers to talk about it with her. Hanna gives him some non-answers. Percy gives her some encouraging words, trying to convince her that she'll be fine and that he trusts in her judgement. Hanna tells him to get some rest, and he agrees, asking what she'd want for breakfast the next morning. Hanna says she doesn't need anything. As Hanna leaves, Percy thanks her for being his friend.

She doesn't come back that night, the stream goes on with no further appearance of Percy.

Episode 6: I WON'T DO IT!
Percy wakes up the next morning. He decides to make Hanna some breakfast incase she was too stressed to make any herself. He goes into her room to find Hanna gone. He assumes she went on another walk. Percy goes on his own walk to clear his head. He notes that he hasnt been hearing the voice as much. He heard it in his home, he heard it in Crowhollow, but not here. He wants Hanna to come back soon so they can all return to Crowhollow. He needs to sacrifice the gold twice this week, but he'll wait for his friend to get back so it doesn't seem like he abandoned her. He has a whole 6 more days, right? Percy goes to the waterside behind Deevereebast Inn and watches over the horizon. He mentions how peaceful it's been of late, but is interrupted by a very hurt Enderglowboy teleporting in front of him. Percy asks if he's okay, but Glow is quick to become sarcastic and aggressive towards the poor faerie. Percy continues to try an help, giving him food. Glow reveals that he had run into Hanna the night before, that Hanna had betrayed and attempted to kill him, and had stolen gold from the pirates. During this, Percy is very concerned for Glow, wanting to get him medical help, he refuses. Glow wants help with something else, revenge. Percy refuses to believe Glow, but still wants to help him medically. Glow says she broke her promises to the pirates. Percy says that promises can't be broken. "I know that if you break a promise that there are consequences." Glow says that people can, and promises that he is not an enderman. Percy sees that this statement is a lie and tries to comprehend that you can lie while promising something. During this whole conversation, Glow slowly backs Percy into a corner. Glow continues to try and convince Percy that Hanna is a bad person, but Percy denies it, saying that Hanna said that Glow was a liar. Glow says that people lie. Percy says that he tells the truth whenever he can, but Glow says that not everyone does. He continues on to say that Hanna went back to Crowhollow without Jboy or Percy because she was ashamed from stealing the gold. Percy replies that Hanna could have just asked him for gold. He needed it, but he'd give it if she needed it more. Glow says that she doesn't care if Percy has gold, she only cares if she has gold, and since there was gold in the pirate chest... Percy denies everything, convincing himself that his friend is a good person, that she saved him from pillagers and took him to Crowhollow. Glow interrupts him and hatches a plan. Betray Hanna and help kill her. He exclaims that Hanna doesn't care about them, only about herself, so help him kill her.

Percy says that even if this is all true, and he doesn't think it is- Glow haymakers his face into the side of the inn. This will leave a scar on Percy's left cheek where his cheekbone made contact with the stone. Percy continues to refuse to help kill Hanna, and Glow almost beats him to death with his fists, Percy's face making repeated contact with the stone wall. Just as Glow is about to hit the killing blow, Jboy appears, defending Percy. Glow is distracted by the sudden appearance and stops attacking to focus on the new arrival. Glow uses Percy's condition to his advantage. One or two hits will kill him, so if Jboy doesn't drop his weapons, Percy is dead meat. Jboy does so, but refuses to help in Glow's plan. Glow teams up with the pirates and captures Jboy and the hurt Percy.

Stream 3: Enderglowboy's Revenge
Percy had spent the past week in a small cell with Jboy. Everything in his inventory was put into a barrel in the storeroom of the prison. By time Hanna comes into Glow's bunker, he's half crazed with panic and relived to see Hanna. He urgently asks for soul dirt and a flint and steel, needing to fulfill his part of the deal with the Witherskull, even if it is too late. He can't explain any of this due to his promise with the skull, so in stream, without context, he seems to have gone crazy with containment. Glow strikes a deal to release Percy and Jboy. If Hanna and Glow can get the heart of the sea, the prisoners are not harmed, if not, then the prisoners die. The two go on the quest and succeed.

When Glow and Hanna return, glow shows off the heart of the sea. Percy asks if Hanna traded her gold back for it. Hanna says no... she's just borrowing it. Glow quips back about her almost killing him. To Hanna's lack of denial, Percy asks if it really is true, that Hanna had tried to kill Glow. Hanna denies it half heartedly. Glow makes Hanna a deal. If Hanna gives Glow every single piece of gold in her inventory, then he'll let the prisoners out. Percy waits in baited breath for Hanna to give Glow the gold and prove that the enderman is wrong about her, but... she ponders. She starts to argue., she runs away to think. Percy tries to keep belief in his friend, Glow says that Hanna cares more about gold than friends and Percy denies it adamantly, and Hanna does eventually come back, to give Glow 1 gold ingot. Percy breaks a bit inside as Glow parades the singular golden ingot in front of the prisoners. She almost let them live out the rest of their lives in prison to save one gold ingot. Glow throws the ingot to the ground and Percy picks it up in disbelief. He tries to verbally convince himself that she must have had a reason, that their lives couldn't be worth at most 1 gold ingot.

Glow tricks the three back into the cell and leaves them all be. Percy once again asks for soul dirt and a flint and steel, and Glow laughs in his face, taunting him about how Hanna almost traded his life for a gold ingot. Percy is once again trapped, this time with Jboy and Hanna. As Hanna and Jboy threaten Glow, Percy starts breaking down. He needed the flint and steel, he needed to complete his part of the deal. What would the consequences be this time? He goes to the bed and proceeds to fully break down. Hanna asks if Percy is okay. Percy's voice is cold and pained as he says "I can't tell you!"

Jboy puts himself between Percy and Hanna, protecting him. Hanna apologizes and Jboy quips back, Percy stays silent, heartbroken. Hanna admits to taking gold from the pirates and Percy asks if that was really true. Hanna agrees, but tries to play it down. Percy, voice full of hurt, says "You said you were going on a walk," feeling very much betrayed. Hanna continues making excuses and Percy exclaims that he could have just given her gold, that he really needed it, but if she just asked...

The group escapes with the help of a pirate. On the way out, Percy sees some soul fire and risks his life to drop both the gold he kept on him and the gold Hanna had almost traded his life for into the flames. He forgot his belongings in the prison, including his axe, "The Power of Friendship"

As the party finds the deadlands and lil Glow, Percy leaves the group to return to Crowhollow. He needs to get more gold for the skull on the slim hope that he may skirt the consequences.

Episode 7: Pressured and Pushed
Percy, once again alone, travels back to Crowhollow. He had left everything in the prison during the escape. He picks some flowers to calm himself down and continues walking. Percy wonders when the skull would contact again. He implies that the nether portal dropped him off far enough away from Crowhollow and his house to be outside the sphere of influence of the skulls. Percy admits that the skull was talking to him all week as he was in the cell, telling him to get the soul dirt and lighter in order to burn the gold he had on him. Percy is glad for the quiet, relating it to when you need a break from a friend. He's scared of coming back and facing the consequences, but he knows he must. He needs to save his last llama, Spitz, who is under the skull's protection. Percy continues heading back with that in mind, convincing himself that it's gonna be a great day.

Percy reveals that he currently doesn't have any gold, he had sacrificed all the gold he had in the soul-fire while escaping. After recounting the events of last stream, Percy tells himself to calm down. He's never known himself to be this anxious before a month ago. He says things were going good until his first llama, Guapito, died. Percy forces an optimistic perspective and says that everything will be fine, that he'll get back to Spitz. Percy shares his dream of the future: that the voice will save the world, so he can settle down, maybe become a flower farmer. As he's talking about this, Percy hears a familiar voice in his head.

The skull berates Percy for missing his deadline, and Percy grows angry at it, knowing full well it knew he was in a prison. The skull said it wasn't its fault Percy was in the cell, it was Percy's trust in people that did that. It continues to gaslight him along similar lines, saying things to make Percy's friends sound bad, and Percy apologizes, saying he will only trust the skull. The skulls says it would forgive Percy if he got it more gold. Percy mentions a mine, but the skull, as punishment, only wants gold from the nether. The skull calls him by full name "Percevous Verance" for the first time, revealing Percy's full name. The skulls says that in three days, it wants everything in Percy's inventory, and it better include gold. Percy readily agrees. The skull then says "I have better things to do than look after a fully Grown Resurgentis," and starts to part ways, stating that Percy is something called a Resurgentis. Percy once again agrees and says he'll be where the skull wants him to be and the skull's last line is "You better be, or there will be worse consequences than what I have already done."

Percy climbs the back wall of Crowhollow and sneaks his way into the city. He goes to warn Watermuffin of what has happened, but determines that Watermuffin may already know, seeing as Hanna's palace had been burnt down and the jail is in ruins. Percy finds hope in the fact that the flowers within the burnt palace are indeed okay. He gets ready to go into the nether. Percy grabs a fire resistance potion, some glistering melon slices, an iron chest-plate, golden boots, a lingering potion of fire resistance, some bread, a crafting table, a nametag, and a lead. Percy mentions that his wings are starting to hurt, which means a storm would be approaching soon. He decides to enter the nether before then. The faerie determines that he won't be coming back to Crowhollow for awhile after this, so he grabs some flowers for the road. Percy admits that he's confused about the whole situation between Hanna and Glow, but he doesn't blame anybody. Percy forces himself to stop thinking about it, and asks his imaginary friends what he should do. He knows the skulls would only tell him to trust in them, so he want another opinion. He admits to feeling resistant to leaving, liking it in Crowhollow, liking not being lonely, but he knows he must go.

Percy find obsidian in the chest by the portal and takes it. As he's going through the portal, Glow, the last person, he wanted to see, comes across him. Percy greets him, but Glow is angry at both Percy's unwillingness to work with him and the fact that he escaped with Hanna not a few days beforehand. He seems to want to finish the job he left unfinished behind the inn, in killing Percy. He runs at Percy. Sensing that Glow means violence, Percy backs into the nether portal. Percy covers the portal in obsidian to give himself time and runs down the stairs. He hears the skull in his head.

The skull orders him to use the anvil railings of the stairs to name the nametag he has "PercyVerance" and Percy does so. The skull orders Percy to take the left route and to not take the portal, knowing full well how slow Percy is, if Percy just runs, Glow will catch up. As Percy is running, Glow threatens him. Percy is mostly unaffected until Glow says that he will die in the nether. Suddenly, the screen turns black.

"Let go of me! I'll have you hung for this! No! NO! no! Please! Not my wings! Not my wings! Not my wings! Not my- Please, as a Prince of this state, I-" There are cracks to wings and screams of pain. In the background, chanting calls, echoing throughout the full scene. "3 lives to rise 3 skulls"

Percy comes back into himself, screaming "NO! no! DONT! I'm not gonna die in the nether. Not again! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!"

Both Percy and Glow are confused by this. The Witherskull continues its instructions. Percy turns left. Percy turns right, into a nether fortress. Percy names a roaming piglin his name, splashes it with lingering fire resistance, leads it to the edge, and pushes it into the lava. Just after PercyVerance the piglin falls, Glow pushes Percy off the fortress, where Percy clips his hand on the edge from the unexpected push and falls into the lava. This injury will scar, leaving a mark on his knuckles. Percy had drank the 8 minute Fire resistance potion, so he was fine, but the piglin with his name had perished after the lingering potion wore off.

"PercyVerance tried to swim in lava"

Glow celebrates, Percy waits for him to leave.

Stream 4: The Sorcerer
At the end of the stream, Hanna sees Percy's death message and thinks it's real. She mourns. A cutscene at the end of the stream plays the boat-song and shows clips of Percy, but it slowly gets corrupted. The cutscene clips to Percy's base, over to the ruins, and no-clips through the ground to show that under the ruins and Percy's house, there seems to be an alter to the Witherskulls, the place where Percy ended the first episode, and to the right, a second Witherskull.

Episode 8: Return From Crowhollow
Percy waits in the lava for Glow to walk off. Once he does, the faerie emerges from the lava and starts swimming towards land. He starts unpacking what he learned from his flashback, not exactly pleased with what he remembered. As Percy climbs out of the lava, he remembers that he didn't bring a pickaxe and therefore cannot mine any gold. He plans to go to Oakheart, get a pickaxe, and try mining again. Percy can't help but think of the flashback, and determines that he may have actually died before in the memory that flashback was from. He apologizes to a piglin for killing one of their comrades, and continues on his way, continuing to nervously think about the whole situation. He admits to just wanting to go home and decides to mine in the nether by his house when he gets home instead of doing it near Crowhollow. Percy ponders Glow and Hanna, saying he thought they both were pretty nice until the happenings of the past week. Percy details that the only reason he's currently alive is because he followed the skull's instructions. Percy has been canonically said to be slow due to his wings, and Glow could teleport, the only reason Glow didn't catch up until the end was because he didn't exactly know where Percy was until it was too late. Percy goes through the nether portal he passed by last episode and enters Oakheart.

Percy enters what he believes to be a blacksmith and exchanges a slowness potion for a pickaxe. (It was actually Jboy's Oakheart house, but Percy still doesn't know that). Percy travels home and says how wonderful it is to be back. "There's no people tryin to- well, there is people trying to kill me, but at least they don't try to befriend me first" Percy is glad to be back, he even says hi to the creeper that had been in his llama pen since day one. It's not until he notices the corpse that his mood falters.

Spitz is dead. The consequences had arrived.

Percy goes into a full mental breakdown, yelling at the Witherskulls, blaming them for his friend's death. Percy goes to his front door to find it caved in. Pillagers had ransacked the property and taken all his valuables. Bitter, Percy covers the door to the guest room in obsidian. Percy continues to scream and grieve. A pillager comes into his house and corners him in the storage room, making Percy cover the door so they may not enter. The faerie uses a lectern to open his not yet seen emergency bunker, and he descends the steps, the viewers not following him down. Ignoring his deal with the skulls, he says he needs a few days sleep.

Stream 5: A Hero Has Fallen
No important lore having directly to due with Percy's story.

Episode 9: Processing Events
A Flashback: Percy lays in a golden cocoon/armor substance, journal in hand. As he wakes up, he begins to make noises of agony. He cries about his wings, which are the current point of pain. He hears the voice and asks what it is. The skull tells Percy to forget his pain. Percy asks if he's dying. The skull implies that Percy is more useful alive. The cutscene ends with Percy begging to be saved.

Percy wakes up from this dream with a sharp breath. He's in a small, lived in, obsidian room. Outside the door seems to be another obsidian room. Percy explains that inside this bunker is the only place he cannot hear the skulls, and the skulls can not hear him. He explains that he's taking a break, that it's been probably about a week since he had found Spitz, but he hasn't been keeping time so he's unsure. Percy seems a little bit off his rocker as he talks, most likely due to the emotional stress and lack of socializing. He assures himself over and over that it'll be fine... and then he starts recounting what happened to him, so he is probably signifying that he is not currently fine. He asserts that his llamas are dead. He tells the story of how his first llama, Guapito died. The skulls had asked him for the sacrifice, along with a few sheep on different occasions working up to that one, and Percy did it, thinking it was to help save the world. Percy acknowledges that he probably sounds crazy and greets his imaginary friends, the viewers directly. Percy explains how Reginold, M'breh, and Angy died. The skull was not pleased with Percy flower hunting without its permission, so it asked for a sacrifice of repayment. Percy admits that he doesn't know how to feel about Crowhollow and all the people he met there. He thinks that everyone there are nice, but they do actions which could be interoperated as not nice. Percy, being trained by the Witherskulls to do so, puts all blame on himself. He still seems hurt that Hanna would value his life at most as half an ingot of gold, seeing as how he had to share that value with Jboy, which Hanna had known longer and probably saw as more valuable in Percy's eyes. Percy then admits that he feels really bad for leaving her to go to Crowhollow because Hanna seemed a bit stressed. He then moves onto the topic of Glow, which he seems very confused about. He was very friendly towards Percy, and then beat him, imprisoned him, and then tried to kill him.

"I would die for my friends, I would, but apparently, they'd rather kill me"

Percy says he doesn't know how to feel about that. He can sympathize with both Glow and Hanna but doesn't understand why'd they take their not-niceness out on him. Percy expresses amiability towards Jboy for saving him and not trying to kill him. Percy once again remembers that Spitz is dead and averts to that topic. He feels anger at the Witherskulls for not taking care of his llama or his home, but he guesses that it was his punishment for breaking the deal, even if it was against his will. Percy blames himself again. Percy goes back to the topic of the events of Crowhollow and admits that he just wants friends, in defeat. But he also says he doesn't want to be killed again. He still hurts from last time, his wings still hurt from healing wrong. He just wants to be a good friend. He's not sure if what he's been through is normal for friends since he's never had a friend other than the voice before. Percy doesn't know who to trust.

Percy hopes he doesn't treat people the way everyone treats him, he doesn't want to make people feel the way most of his friends make him feel. He admits that he doesn't know what friendship is, that he doesn't know if this is healthy.

"I don't like being used. I'm a person... I'm saying this to no one because I'm too scared to say it to someone's face. I'm a person, and I have feelings, and they're hurt. They're really hurt."

Percy goes back upstairs. If all his llamas are gone, he'll be next.

Episode 10: Dangerous Questions
Percy walks out of his bunker and flips through the book to close the door. On the first page, there is a note "Percy, Come back to us." Upon realizing that the note is older than when he had placed the obsidian in front of the doorway, Percy wonders who it could be from. After brainstorming who it could be, Percy swats the thoughts away from his head. He has things to do, gold to mine. Percy reviews the damage of his house and finds it weird that the skull hadn't contacted him yet. Upon going through his storage room, Percy finds that all of his more valuable materials have been stolen. Percy tries to convince himself that he can rebuild his life back to what it normally was before Crowhollow. He finds a nametag with M'Breh's name on it and Percy stops himself from getting emotional to focus on work. Percy goes down into the mine with a shield, a pickaxe, and 20 bread. He starts to mine. He feels himself get back into the habit of it. Percy expresses dislike for chest plates while making armor, because unless specifically crafted by him to clasp around his wings, they hurt his wings. Even with the clasps, they still somewhat make his wings less free. Percy kills a creeper. He thinks about something while holding the gunpowder and he tells himself not to think about it. Percy admits that if the skull had read that thought, then it would be very angry with him. Percy finds it weird that the skull hasn't noticed him out of the bunker yet, so he calls out to it. The voice answers, more angry than anyone's seen it. It asks where Percy had been and Percy evades the question, and says not to worry, that he's back. Percy tells it that he's mining for gold now, to attempt to lessen it's anger. The two exchange a few more words, and the skull tells him that there was no need for a break that was a week and a half long. Percy snaps back that he wouldn't need a break if his llama was alive, and the skull raises its voice in reply. Percy apologizes profusely. Percy kills another creeper during this conversation. The skull said that it was too easy on Percy, that Percy was beginning to become lazy. Percy finds some gold and tells the skull. The skull says it's seen better. Percy, confused, asks where. He usually brings the skull the amount of gold he just mined. The skull admits to having another pet as a way to boost Percy's work ethic. If Percy's use dries up, he is of no use to the skull. The voice says that there will be nothing to worry about if Percy behaves, if he goes back to who he used to be before he went to Crowhollow. Percy agrees, but a question nags at his mind.

"Uh, voice?"

"Yes, pet?"

"What are we saving the world from, exactly? How are we gonna do it? are you sure we're being good? are you really really sure? because my last llama died an-"

"Sacrifice is necessary to the plan"

"I know people need to make sacrifices for good things, but it seems kinda like a useless sacrifice, that one. I'm sorry to say, bu-"

"Are you losing faith, pet? SHALL I GO AHEAD AND-

"I know you said not to ask questions-"

"Then don't ask questions. Trust me like you used to."

The skull then states that even though Percy is currently the chosen one, the skull can choose another. Percy backs off and assures that he'll get the voice gold, not wanting to be replaced. After the voice leaves the conversation, Percy assures himself that the skull was just worried about him, like a friend would be, not wanting to accept the truth that the skull doesn't care about him. Percy tells himself not to ask questions, but things keep wriggling back into his mind. Percy continues to question not questioning things, unable to help it. He asks if he's doing the right thing, but realizes that that's a question. Percy needs to know if what he's doing is for the best, but also realizes that's a question. He tells himself to follow orders, That it'll be fine. He questions what he wants to do after he saves the world. He decides on moving far away. He questions what the voice meant that there was someone else working for it. The Witherskull had told him that he and it were the sole saviors of the world, but there is apparently more than one skull, and now a possible replacement chosen one. Percy puts the gold and his journal in a barrel and goes back down into the mines.

Percy sings another song:

''"What am I doing? Why should I care? I'm just mining gold, I have nothing to fear. Except for the monsters, in the cave and in my head. Should I call it a monster? If it heard me I think I'd be dead. That is a mineshaft! I am kinda really nervous. So this is my nervous singing, kinda off key. but, trying to calm myself down. So this is my mining song, There might be a spider somewhere- There is definitely a spider somewhere. What am I doing? why am I questioning myself? Is it even myself? Or is it just the voice inside my head? What am I doing? I can't keep fighting with myself. I should just trust it. It says it knows the best. But is gold really good? It's something I'm starting to detest. Is gold even really good? Am I doing what is best? I think, just as a failsafe, I should go hunting, I hate looking for a fight, but try as I might, ever since I got back, things have been out of whack, so I think I must attack... But surely, It'll be fine""''

During the song, Percy seems to be hunting creepers just as much as he is hunting for gold. He seems quite used to killing creepers. Percy ends the song failing to kill two creepers, repeating it'll be fine. Percy starts talking about a vague failsafe, assuring himself it's the right thing to do, in case the Witherskulls aren't good, and since he's pretty sure the voice is good, then he wouldn't actually have to do anything drastic, right? He kills another creeper and goes up to the surface, trying to convince himself and the audience that it's just a failsafe. He decides to stop thinking about it. (Technically they failsafe had been being prepared for months, but this is the first episode where he seriously thought of going through with it) He instead decides to think about gold. He counts how many he had found and hopes that he is at least matching the skulls new pet. Percy realizes that it feels weird to call himself and others pet, even though he is so used to being called pet. Percy decides to spend every day mining gold, and to sleep in the bunker every night, where the voice can't pop into his thoughts. Percy talks himself up for getting 16 gold ingots, saying that even the voices other pet can't get that much. (Hanna very well can and does, but he wouldn't know that) Percy assures himself that it'll be fine... if he's doing the right thing. He berates himself for asking questions, and tries to blank his mind again.

Percy bids the audience goodbye.

Episode 11: Egg
Percy starts off the episode leaving the mine with 13 gold ore. He's fully armored and seems quite satisfied with the amount of gold he's mined. He sees the hole where his front door was and makes a makeshift replacement wall with cobblestone. He puts his gold in the furnace and expresses that 13 is enough gold for one day. He places his new front doors. Even if it wouldn't keep the pillagers out, it'll keep the general mobs out. Percy says he managed to defend himself against one pillager and got a crossbow out of it. He doesn't completely know how to use one, but he entertains the idea of practicing. Percy finds a Witherskull in his chest, and starts explaining that there is a difference in look between a normal Witherskull and the Witherskulls. Percy finds bonemeal in another chest and gets excited about growing flowers... and then he remembers that he had none of the new flower types when he reached his house, even checking all of his chests to make sure. Percy had left basically all his flowers at the prison, and the ones that he had picked on the journey home were most likely burned by the lava or otherwise lost. He acknowledges that he truly is back where he started.

Percy gets the 13 gold from the furnace and a fresh chicken carcass he found and delves down into the alter room. He sacrifices them to the Witherskull in the alter room. The skull doesn't talk to him. Percy guesses that it's busy with its new pet. The voice seems to be spending more time with the new pet than with him. The voice used to be in his head constantly, filling his thoughts, but the silence is scary to the faerie. Percy wanders around his property, noting that all the hostile mobs have left. In the morning, Percy gathers the courage to enter the dessert, noticing that there doesn't seem to be any pillagers either. He notes that the whole thing seems suspicious, but guesses that the cultists must be having a ritual somewhere else. They occasionally do that. They'll be back, right? Percy does mention that even if the pillagers are gone, the voice usually isn't. During this thought process, Percy is digging up a whole bunch of sand from the dessert. He wants to dig up as much as he can before they come back.

While digging, Percy comes across a llama. Percy approaches it, gently asking if they lost and where their wandering trader is. Percy goes to get a lead from his house. While Percy is searching his chests, he notes that he can't leave it out alone, that it looks domesticated. As he leaves the house, he realizes: The pillagers must have taken the llama's owner for their ritual.

Percy kind and gently leads the llama back to his home. He seems confident in what he does, assuring the llama in a quiet voice as they travel, suggesting that he's done this before. Even when he's attacked by phantoms, he forces himself to keep calm for the new arrival. With a few last reassuring words as he closes the llama pen, Percy runs into his house before the phantoms can kill him.

Percy goes to put the lead away in his storage room, but stops. He says that this all seems suspicious. He wonders if the voice is trying to replace Spitz and his other llamas or if he had just found that llama through coincidence. Either way, Percy won't let it die out in the wilderness. Percy notes that this is how he got most of his other llamas. He'd find them with no trader, but already domesticated. The trader had been taken away, along with all the pillagers, and suddenly, there was a new pillager when everyone came back.

Percy feels bad because he wants to keep that llama safe, but he's not sure if he can. If he messes up again, then that llama is dead, whether by his own hand or someone else under the influence of the voice. He wonders if the reason everyone is gone was so he could find that llama. Percy is becoming paranoid, not knowing if this was the Witherskull's plan with all his llamas. Get him to care and then take them away. Percy has a realization that he doesn't like. Is the skull in charge of the pillagers? Or is the skull just taking advantage of the pillagers? Percy acknowledges in defeat that he does not know. Percy does know that he can't leave that llama to die.

"Call it a weakness, but I can't."

Percy goes into a chest and find M'Breh's name tag. After much internal debate he takes it, knowing that that was his only nametag. Percy goes back to the llama pen in the light of day and sees Spitz's leather on the ground. He picks it up with hesitation. Swallowing his emotions, he goes over to the new llama. Percy tries talking to it, used to non-responses and reading body language. Percy assures them that it'll be fine. He mentions that he won't be keeping the llama forever, just until he can find them a safer home. Percy decides to call this llama "Egg" after finding an egg on the ground, seeing it as a sign. He reluctantly renames M'Breh's nametag to "Egg" and gives it to Egg. He leaves Egg to socialize with the chickens, leaving the pen.

Percy buries Spitz with his other llamas under a gravestone by his fountain. Percy greets all his llamas tenderly and lays Spitz down to rest. After kneeling there until nightfall, Percy apologizes to all of them, in tears. He promises to them that Egg will be different, that he'll get Egg away from this place. The screen fades to black.

Stream 6: The Festival
Percy is not in this stream, but he is heavily mentioned by Hyp3rRyan.

Ryan asks if Hanna and Glow know who PercyVerance is. When they ask why, Ryan says that he's a friend. Glow points out right away that that was a lie. Ryan later reveals that he is PercyVerance clone serial number HYP-3-R, codename: Ryan.

Ryan details that he hates Percy, that Percy was the reason that he was created. He believes that Percy is the reason of all his suffering. He wants to kill Percy for closure. Ryan reveals that Percy's death in stream 4 was most likely faked. (It was)

Episode 12 Failsafe
Percy opens the episode asking Egg how they are holding up. He then goes off to sacrifice 17 gold to the skull. This is the first time since the cutscene in stream 4 that the full alter room is seen. It is a large cave of black-stone and crying obsidian, in the middle there stands a ritual circle and a statue of a wither with a portal in it's spine. To the right, Percy walks over to the Witherskull. He sacrifices the gold and the skull says nothing to him. Percy walks over to the blood soaked into the floor and laments its presence, but it's stained into the stone so it cannot be removed. Percy leaves the alter room and walks up to the ruins, indicating that the center of the ruins matches with the center of the ritual circle in the alter room. Percy mentions finding a book written by the pillagers alluding to the skull being their enemy, but he admits he might have misinterpreted it. Percy enters his home as it turns nighttime. It clips to the bunker where he opens a chest filled with gunpowder, sand, and a few TNT. Most of the TNT is already placed, but he needs a few more. He goes to kill some more creepers and dig more sand.

As he digs sand, Percy details that he doesn't want to do what he's doing, that he sees the best in people, but he had been self reflecting and is coming to terms that friends aren't always who you think they are. He hopes everyone proves him wrong, but if Percy is right, he has to have a way to put an end to this.

"No matter their motives, they are gaining power."

Just incase the voice is evil, he's set up the failsafe. Percy noes that the pillagers have been gone for days and are still not back, which worries him. He wonders if they've moved or if someone had finally dispatched them all. Percy mentions that he can see the stubs on some of their backs where the wings were and the holes in some of their heads where the horns were so he guesses that they'd probably be from wherever Percy himself was from before he lost his memories. He doesn't know what happened to them to turn them into pillagers.

Percy reveals that he can see auras, and while he doesn't like to judge people off that vibe, the Witherskulls have this very oppressive vibe. Hanna's was somewhat similar to the skulls, but also a different force all together. He then gets tongue tied and unsure of himself over his Aura sight. Percy then says that Glow's vibe was lonely. He once again states that he tries not to rely on his aura sight to gather the character of the people he's talking to since it's not exactly evidence. He then states that Hanna and the skulls seemed nice at first despite their vibes. Percy states that the vibes could be imaginary due to his isolation. Percy says that when he looks in the mirror, what he sees is similar to something that had the paint scrubbed off. What was there is now gone. Percy assumes that this would be his past life. Percy wonders how he knows the word "Aura" and chalks it up to knowing what it meant in his past life.

Hanna's Aura is sparkly and golden, with dark patches that grew over the course of Percy knowing her. Percy continues the paint analogy with the skulls, saying that it's as if the paint was all clumped together and dried up and mixed together with different colors such as purple and gold and black. Percy starts to say it's scary, but stops himself, saying that the skull had saved him, that it was kind to him... despite it feeling really wrong at first. He had forgotten how wrong the skulls felt at first since he had trusted it so quickly due to it being the only thing he could talk to. He was scared, he was desperate, and he was either just dying, or just coming back to life. It offered Percy a new life if he could give it gold. Percy goes back to talking about the aura, saying that it was confusing, that there were so many things mixed within it and that each skull that he's seen has a slightly different vibe.

Percy says that he's ranting and starts doubting himself. He asks whether he should question himself or the skulls. He's only experienced 9 months by that point, he's been told that they've lived much longer than him. Percy goes to put his sand and gunpowder away, saying that if he's wrong and the skulls are good, that he wouldn't wanna be on their bad side. Percy puts everything in the failsafe chest, mentioning that he has more chests like that one, and then goes to mine more gold.

Once he has gold, Percy delves into the alter room again. He turns the corner to find it changed. There is more crying obsidian, the eyes of the Witherskulls have changed to respawn anchors on the wither statue, and the black stone has started to become gilded black stone. Percy checks the full room out, somewhat panicking. Percy questions whether it was the pillagers, but he has the suspicion that it was the skull itself that did this. Percy sacrifices gold to the skull, and when he backs away, he sees that a respawn anchor on one of the skulls on the statue, the middle one, ticked up, now one tick to full. Percy sees a zombie piglin with an enchanted sword spawned to guard the room.

Percy backs out of the room. He runs down the hall, realizes he's hungry, tries to eat but accidentally sets his coat on fire out of nerves instead. He jumps into the water beside him and back out, eating while panicking.

"Whatever that was, it's almost full. It's almos- I gave it gold and it went one up... I think they're almost full power"

Realizing that at least the middle skull, the one in Percy's alter room, may very soon be full power, Percy starts to run to his bunker to enact his failsafe. He places the last of the TNT and goes to pull the lever, before remembering that Egg is in the llama pen. If Percy switches the switch, Egg would surely die. Percy plans to go up one more time, move Egg, and come back down to flip the switch.

Percy acknowledges that this failsafe would only work for the Witherskull under his house. There's still at least one other one in Crowhollow. Percy hopes the TNT will be effective against the skull. He hopes he's doing the right thing, but admits that he's scared. The episode ends as he goes up the scaffolds.

Stream 7: In Shambles
Percy, on his way to move Egg before enacting the failsafe, runs into Hanna just outside the storage room. Both people are happy to see the other. Hanna expresses that she thought Percy was dead, and Percy apologizes, explaining that he didn't know where she was and that Glow tried to kill him. Percy explains how he survived (Excluding mentions of the skull) to a bewildered Hanna, who is just happy that he's alive. Percy is glad that she's here because he's had no one to talk to, he barely holds back tears. Since it is night time, Percy invites Hanna to sleep over. He mines the wood around the obsidian he used to cover the guest room door so Hanna can enter it. Hanna asked what happened to it, but Percy skirts the question and shows her inside. Percy goes to his room to sleep.

When the pair wake up, Percy remembers what exactly he came upstairs to do. He leads Hanna outside and introduces her to Egg. Percy makes the excuse that they're taking Egg out on a walk and leads them towards the edge of the dessert. During the walk, Hanna and Percy talk. Hanna asks how Percy's doing, and he replies that he hasn't been well but hopefully he may be okay soon. Hanna asks for clarification and if he's hurt. Percy replies jokingly that his wings always hurt, but they've been acting up recently, and that non-physically, he's been questioning a few things ever since his attempted murder. They get to the conversation of Glow, Percy's attempted murderer, and he passively says that he doesn't know Glow well enough to judge him. Percy then details the times he's met Glow. He had met him once at Jboy's palace, where he seemed pretty nice. The second time was when Glow had almost beat him to death, which he tells Hanna what happened for the first time. They leave Egg by the seaside across the dessert. Hanna expresses guilt for Leaving Percy in the pirate village, and Percy instantly says it's not her fault, saying that she probably left for something important, and asks what that important thing was. Hanna stumbles to find an answer, and goes with her need to return to Crowhollow and a lot of other non-answers, but once again apologizes to Percy. Percy says it's fine and says that if she ever needs help again, she could just ask him. He doesn't need to sleep much, (Though he was trained to sleep by the skulls) so he could be available at all hours.

Hanna mentions that she can't run due to being hungry, so Percy proposes a picnic. Hanna agrees, so the pair get some food and go out to the picnic blanket Percy had set up where his old fountain used to be. Percy puts a cake in the middle for the two to share and they both sit down. Hanna eats a good portion of the cake and looks around. She notices something weird with the far side of the fountain and goes over to check it out.

She sees the gravestones of Percy's llamas. Hanna asks what it is and Percy answers that they're gravestones for beings of his past, that they were like family and he missed them very much. He expresses that non of them deserved death. Hanna asks what exactly happened. Percy finds it hard to find words due to the emotions, and can only express that it wasn't their fault.

They go back to the picnic blanket. Percy tries to keep his grief in check and can't help but have tears fall. Hanna asks if Percy is okay. He replies that it's been tough an that he misses them and that things haven't been going his way recently, or they never have been ever since he woke up. He assures himself once again that he'll be fine. Hanna asks about him waking up, not having done so in a situation that was as calm as this one. He explains everything that's happened before the series started, not including the skulls in his narrative as to not gather suspicion from said skulls by breaking his promise to them. Hanna seems a bit suspicious of him and Percy doesn't completely know why so doesn't mention it since he trusts Hanna.

Hanna says that he doesn't have to stay in his home if it pains him so much to stay. Percy, for the first time, says that he's planning on moving out soon. Hanna says that the cake is almost gone. Percy offers for her to go inside and get more food. He makes the excuse of wanting to sniff flowers as to not go himself, but his real reason is that he wants to have some time alone with his late llamas one more time before the fail safe activates. Hanna agrees and goes inside. Percy kneels by the graves.

When Hanna comes back, Percy greets her warmly and asks if she had gotten the food she wanted. Hanna, holding her netherite sword, says yes and asks what he's doing. Percy, seeing nothing wrong with the situation, answers that he's been sitting among the Percy flowers by the graves and reminiscing. Hanna flanks behind him and Percy turns around to face her with a wry smile of grief. He goes on to say that Hanna would have liked them. Hanna is cold as she asks why Percy lied to her. Percy is taken aback and asks what she means. Hanna swipes the ground in front of him with her sword and he takes a step back, once again asking what she means. He had been as honest as he could be. Hanna states that she doesn't know if she can believe him and Percy starts to get worried and confused. As Hanna keeps backing Percy up with the sword, he guesses that the reason she's mad is because of his faked death, which he once again apologizes for. She doesn't seem satisfied, saying that he's betrayed people. Percy denies it, saying he hasn't betrayed anyone. Percy puts his back door between him and Hanna, but Hanna opens it and follows him into the house. Hanna starts saying that something told her that he betrays people and that it never lies. Percy starts asking what she's talking about... and then he realizes... The Witherskull had said that it had another pet, and on that first day, Hanna had admitted to hearing it, and she does like gold and- he needed to make sure.

"You can't trust what it says."

"I don't know if I can trust what you say. You betrayed me, you lied to me, you hid all of this from me-"

"The Wither skulls? They're bad, Hanna."

"So you do know about them. I thought so."

"And you do too"

"I really thought so, so that means that you are the one I'm meant to kill"

As he backed into the storage room, Percy puts a block of obsidian in his hand.

"And you're the one to replace me, I guess."

He blocks the doorway to the room with the obsidian and opens the door to the bunker, running down the stairs. He speeds through all the traps and down to where the lever is. He doesn't want Hanna coming up behind him if he focuses on making the failsafe work, or her dying from the failsafe if he sets it off too early, so he waits by the scaffolds for her to come down the scaffolds. He had made this trap for pillagers incase they had broken in far enough to come into this room, but it'd work for Hanna too. While Hanna is going through the rooms, she finds Percy's journal, depicting everything that's happened to him over the course of the series, she refuses to believe anything he writes is the truth.

When Hanna eventually finds him and starts to climb down the scaffolds, he breaks the scaffolds and she falls into a pit with slime block floors. Hanna yells at him, asking what he's doing, and Percy answers that she's trying to kill him so it's safer to have her in that pit for now. Hanna continues to berate him for lying to her, and Percy tries to defend himself, but she doesn't trust him enough to listen. It's Hanna attacking with words and Percy defending until Hanna accuses Percy of using her.

"I've used you? I'VE USED YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE USED? Do you know what it's like to put your whole hearted trust in someone and have them not see you as anything other than how you would be useful to them? What am I to you Hanna? I was a gaslit minion for the skulls. I was a bartering tool for those pirates. I'm an outlet for Glow's anger. What am I to you? What am I to you for you to lie to me, for you to go behind my back, to think me at the very most worth half an ingot of gold? To kill me on THE WORD OF MY  ABUSER?  I'll tell you what I am, Hanna. I'm a person. I'm a person who's kind, and loves his friends, and would do anything for someone to see me as I am. I'm not just an arm to lean on or a target to hit. I'm a person. I have value. and if you can't see that right now-"

Percy walks over to the lever and steels himself.

"Then maybe I can prove that to you one day. For now-"

He pulls the lever. and explosions start to go off all around them.

"HAVE FUN BEING IT'S PET!"

The explosions continue, shaking the ground and everything around them. Hana asks what's going on, Percy replies that it's TNT, and apparently a lot of it. Percy pulls another lever and drops down into a small, horizonal nether portal, escaping into the nether before he can face the consequences of what he's done. Neither Hanna nor Glow, who appeared to save Hanna, follow him through, not trusting this unfamiliar magic. Percy is home free.

While Percy's home, the alter, and the surrounding dessert are destroyed by TNT, the skull survives, power drained from such a powerful attack, but still alive.

Episode 13: Out Of The Frying Pan
A few days later, in the nether, Percy runs across in the distance as someone unseen to him watches. He is overjoyed that he is free from the influence of the Witherskulls. He mentions that the Witherskulls still are out there, but he is now officially not on their side. Percy notes that while some things in the nether do try to kill him, most other things do cower away, which he hasn't been in the nether long enough to notice until then. Percy accidently finds himself near Crowhollow, not noticing until the fortress turned to stone bricks instead of the regular nether brick. He sees the portal to OakHeart and decides to go through. He thanks his imaginary friends for supporting him and steps into the portal.

The figure from the start of the episode, dressed with a Witherskull helmet and rainbow shield, follows him through only moments later.

Episode 14: Bronze
Percy makes his way through the portal and proceeds to take in the beautiful day. He details that he feels freer than he's ever been and can finally appreciate his surroundings to his fullest extent. He goes around picking flowers, and as he moves around, he unintentionally dodges fishing hooks aimed at him. Percy hears the noise from the last fishhook and turns around to see the mysterious figure with blue wings from last episode. Percy yelps and backs away. The new person calls Percy's full name in somewhat of a posh tone. "Percevous?"

The person tries to fishhook Percy again, and Percy dodges once more. Percy asks what's going on and who the person in the Witherskull helmet is and if they're working for the Witherskulls themselves. The stranger takes off the helmet to reveal the face of another faerie, with blond hair and blue eyes. He denies working for the Witherskulls and reveals that he is Percy's brother, Bronze, still insistent on calling Percy Percevous. Percy is confused, and this new faerie propositions that they go back home to Wilwae. Percy doesn't know where Wilwae is and doesn't feel like trusting another stranger so soon after facing Hanna. He insists that he doesn't know who this person is and will not go with him. Bronze doesn't believe anything Percy says, telling him to stop with the mind games and manipulation tactics. Percy asks with frustration why everyone assumes he's manipulating people.

Bronze still isn't convinced of Percy's honesty, asking what he's playing at. Percy asks the stranger what he's playing at. They're both interrupted by the sound of a firework in the distance, but soon get back on point. Percy accuses him of trying to grapple onto his wings with a fishing rod. The other faerie insists that they both need to go to Wilwae. Percy asks what Wilwae is, and Bronze replies that Wilwae is their home, that they're princes of the state, that Percy is heir to the throne. Percy asks why he should believe this person, he doesn't remember him at all. Percy looks down at himself and asks him if he looks like a prince. While this faerie prince is in nice armor and has distinguished demeaner about him, Percy is in old ratty clothes and has an almost gaunt physique from being overworked, underground, and stressed.

Bronze just sighs and says that Percy has tried this a million times and insists that they go home. Percy asks what he's tried, and the person replies that Percy is attempting to manipulate him. After Percy mentions Hanna trying to kill him, the other faerie insists that he'll be safe in Wilwae. Percy admits he doesn't feel safe with this stranger with the Witherskull helmet and all and tries to walk away. The warrior follows him, calling him by his full name. Just as Percy asks why Bronze calls him by his full name, someone lands between the two, wearing an elytra and holding a crossbow.

It's Jboy.

Percy is relieved to see someone he trusts, but Bronze is taken aback, demanding Jboy tell him who he is. Both Percy and Jboy solidify that Jboy is a friend of Percy's. Jboy points a crossbow at the Bronze, and said faerie proceeds to geek out about the runes on the crossbow, saying it's ancient. After threatening the stranger with it one more time, Bronze steps down and insists they talk about things. Jboy is suspicious, noting that basically everyone who's met Percy has betrayed him at some point or another. Percy agrees with this assessment saying that Jboy is one of the few people who hasn't betrayed him.

Bronze insists that Percy is manipulating Jboy and both Percy and Jboy seem offended by the statement. Bronze accuses Percy of manipulating him all throughout childhood. The faerie agrees to play along for now, Percy admits he doesn't know what there is to play along with but agrees to the truce. Bronze takes off the armor to reveal a very official looking uniform underneath. Jboy and Percy start to leave together, and the Bronze insists that he tags along because he finds the overworld very foreign to him.

Percy looks off into the near distance and sees a large beanstalk raising into the sky. He hadn't seen it before due to his nearsightedness. The group climb the beanstalk. Bronze compares it to the warped fungus in the nether. Jboy asks who goes to the nether and doubts Bronze would, indirectly challenging the faerie's toughness. Bronze answers that him and Percy are from the nether and then proceeds to ask Percy if he likes the heat more than the cold. Percy, who had spent almost a year living comfortably by a desert, insists that it must be normal enough to like the heat.

Jboy insists that Percy is normal, that he's human, despite the poor faerie's wings, horns, and pointed ears. (He would have slit pupils, but his eyes are too dark to distinguish pupils from iris) The sentiment is clear though, his intended meaning was that Percy doesn't belong with Bronze. Bronze steps back and states that he will not be an aggressor for now. Percy finds this a good time to defuse the situation, and insists that the party find a place to stay in what seems to be a floating city at the top of the beanstalk. The group sees a palace in the distance and heads towards it as the episode ends.

Episode 15: A Common Cause
As the group climbs up the great chains between the islands, they make guesswork on how this place could be possible. Bronze suggests magic. As they get to the top of the chain, Percy can finally see the palace from the end of the last episode come into view. The party starts to cross the chains towards it. Bronze admits that he wish he had his glasses, revealing that nearsightedness is a familial trait. In the background, a person on an elytra can be seen flying towards and around the group. Percy turns around at the sound of his name.

He sees Watermuffin, now in a new outfit, walking up the chains towards him. He was the person with the elytra. The two greet each other and ask what the other is doing there. Bronze inserts himself within the situation, asking who the new arrival is. Percy tries to introduce Watermuffin to Bronze, but Bronze swiftly points a bow at him in distrust. Percy puts himself between Bronze and Watermuffin, insisting that Watermuffin is a friend. Watermuffin gives both Jboy and Bronze a carrot, which is the official sign of peace. Jboy takes it and the group settles down and starts to catch up. Jboy asks about Watermuffin's recent death (Stream 5), and Percy chimes in that he too was hunted down by Hanna.

Watermuffin propositions that the group go to a tea shop in the city to talk for a bit about their situations. Percy asks what the city is, and Watermuffin answers that the floating city is named Esterdale and that he (Watermuffin) used to live there some time ago. Percy compliments that it is very beautiful, but Watermuffin says it's a bit rundown. There doesn't seem to be any other people there than the four of them. Watermuffin is distracted by the conversation and takes the wrong chain, leading to a dead end. He isn't used to taking the chains since getting an elytra. Percy insists that he's fine walking alone, so everyone else flies with either elytras or wings over to the tea shop. Percy, earthbound due to his broken wings, walks the long way around towards the destination.

Percy asks how Watermuffin has been in Esterdale, and Watermuffin answers that it had been peaceful. Percy mentions needing a bit of peace in his life. The party enter the teashop and sit down at a table. Percy replaces a flower in a flower pot with a Percy flower on instinct, The group start their first meeting.

Watermuffin asks who Bronze is, and Bronze answers that his name is Bronze Verance, and that both he and Percy are from Wilwae, and that he's trying to get Percy back to Wilwae so that Percy can rule over the kingdom. Watermuffin replies, "Oh, you're that Verance family." apparently knowing about Wilwae and being quite uncomfortable being in front of two Verances. Percy, trying to clarify and ease everyone, explains that he has memory loss. He acknowledges Watermuffin's discomfort and tries to assure everyone that he is functionally not the same person as this Percevous everyone is talking about. Bronze makes a snide comment, and Watermuffin peace-keeps and says that the group shouldn't fight when they have a larger problem on their hands known as the Witherskulls.

Percy, bewildered, asks how Watermuffin knows about them. Watermuffin simply replies that he knows about them all too well. Percy replies that he definitely does as well. Bronze interrupts everyone to ask if the Witherskulls are really back. Watermuffin replies that they've been back for awhile. Bronze admits that he thought that the skulls were a faerietale that the royal family used to keep commoners in check. Everyone assures him that they are indeed real and very much back. Percy explains his previous involvement in the Witherskulls plans (AKA: he summarizes the whole lore in about 30 seconds). Watermuffin acknowledges that the whole thing is a heck of a story and Bronze decides that he must go back to Wilwae, because it'd be weak to Witherskull attack without him. Percy admits that he isn't strong enough for the people of Wilwae, that if he is who Bronze says he is, then the people of Wilwae would not want him back as he is now because Percy isn't this Prince Percevous Verance person and probably never will be.

Bronze disappears, going invisible out of stress. Percy is impressed, saying that he can see auras, but other than that, he doesn't have much magic at all. Bronze finds Percy's reply confusing, stating that back home, Percevous was the most powerful mage in Wilwae. Percy insists that he is quite weak, quite unsure of himself. Bronze sighs and asks himself what the Witherskulls did to his brother and then insists that they need to fix this. Percy, quite nervous upon hearing that Bronze wants to return the person who Percy was before his death, stalls and says that Bronze should go check out Wilwae first. Percy insists that he's more helpful in Esterdale helping Watermuffin set up The Resistance since Percy has the most insider knowledge of the skull from living with it. Bronze agrees, and Jboy goes with him out towards Wilwae.

Once Jboy and Bronze leave, Percy asks if Watermuffin has anywhere in mind where they can set up a base. Watermuffin reveals that he has a few ideas. Percy then assures Watermuffin that he is a different person and that he truly doesn't need to worry about him being Percevous. The two exit the tea shop.

Episode 16: Weary Warriors Walking to Wilwae
No major mentions or appearances of Percy.

Stream 8: The Power Trio
Percy does not make an appearance, but is heavily mentioned in this stream. Here is a list of mentions

-At the beginning of the stream, the cutscene shows that Percy's bomb ripped a massive hole in the dessert, but the Witherskull survived, and seemed to be rebuilding.

-Hanna tries to convince Glow that Percy had betrayed them and had tried to kill Hanna. Glow doesn't believe it at first but decides to go along with it.

-Ryan appears and assures Hanna and Glow that he knows Percy and agrees with Hanna that Percy is dangerous. Hanna clarifies that Percy is a certified threat and Ryan replies "Knowing Percy, the second someone stands up to him, he just runs"

-Ryan uses his and Hanna's shared antagonism towards Percy to base an alliance. Glow is still confused on why Percy is so bad. Ryan replies that "Percy wants to save the world, but he doesn't want it to change"

-Ryan shares that his personal goal is to free himself from the shackles that bind him (AKA: Percevous)

- Percy is the first threat they talk about in the first Power Trio meeting, but they don't go after him because they don't know where he is

-Ryan taunts that the Verances always leave people behind, but 5 minutes later, Bronze puts everything Ryan has said so far about the Verances into question by flying in and yelling "WILWEANS NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND!" and saving Jboy.

-Ryan confirms that Bronze is Percy's brother, and that Percy is indeed the crown prince of Wilwae who has done terrible things. He tries to convince Hanna and Glow that Percy knowingly kept this information from them. Hanna and Glow believe him and Glow finally becomes strictly against Percy. The Power Trio plan on taking Percy's kingdom away from him.

Episode 17: Mapping the world
Percy is sent on a mission by Watermuffin to map the important locations of the world. Percy is okay at building but left the architecture master alone to build the skeleton of the rebellion base in order to do this task. Percy mentions that he's a little too conspicuous in his normal green coat, so he decided to change into a green cloak to cover both his clothes, face, and horns. He couldn't hide his wings, which stick out through a gash on the back of the cloak, but the disguise would hopefully work well enough to have him recognize danger before danger recognized him.

Percy had just mapped out Esterdale, so he goes on to different locations.

He finds Melon City, which he's quite impressed by. He starts to map it out, but hears the voice of a skull in his head. He had cut off his connection with the skulls with his betrayal and the explosion, so hearing the voice once again must have meant that there was a skull close by. It calls him different renditions of the word "Traitor" as Percy runs away across the Melon field, not wanting to deal with this. The faerie passes by Lumen's Melon City house and into the garden that Shroomoo had made Lumen in "A Special Day".

Percy acknowledges that he feels healing magic, trusting himself with his Aura-Sight. Percy enters the garden and sees the giant crystals that Shroomoo had made erupting from the ground. He mentions that the magic coming from them is familiar. Percy decides to stay there for the night, feeling that the garden is a safe place.

The screen cuts to some amount of time later, with Percy running out of the OakHeart forest with a spider chasing after him. Percy kills it, makes a note that the forest is dangerous, picks a few flowers, and maps out Oakheart. Percy hopes that his disguise will work, because he dreads what Hanna and Glow would do to him if they recognized him. Percy has been avoiding Crowhollow this entire time, but acknowledges that he needs to map it out sooner or later. He reckons that if a final fight were ever to take place between the skulls underlings and the resistance, it would be in Crowhollow. Percy doesn't want there to be a fight but admits that it will likely happen anyway due to Hanna's decreasing morals and inhabitations thanks to the skulls influence. Percy then hopes that Bronze and Jboy made it to Wilwae safely, revealing that he does not yet know what happened in stream 8 (They are canonically happening around the same time)

Percy gets to the walls outside Crowhollow and starts to stall. He doesn't want to go inside in fear of Hanna, Glow, and the skulls. Percy gets to just inside the gate, and then runs away, admitting to being too scared at the moment to go inside. He'll go another day. Percy decides to go back the Esterdale. on the way, he stops on the Oakheart bridge and watches the sun set, comforting himself and saying that it will be fine.

Just as he's about to leave, he hears someone approach. The audience will recognize the voice as Hyp3r Ryan, the one who's main goal is to kill Percy.

Hyp3rRyan- A Familiar Face
Ryan, still reeling from gaining back control of his body, meets a mysterious person on the bridge to Oakheart. This person is Percy, who's face and horns are hidden in the shadow of the cloak hood. The two surprise each other and neither wants a fight. Ryan lowers his weapon and Percy begs the fully armored Ryan not to hurt him and offers carrots of peace in a panic. Ryan offers to take off his armor to calm Percy's panic, but Percy says he only has to if he wants to. Ryan disarms himself, saying that Percy doesn't seem like much of a threat. The two awkwardly try to calm the other down with polite gestures until Percy notes that Ryan seems hungry. He asks if the newcomer is alright, to which Ryan replies that it had been a long day. Percy relates and asks if Ryan wants to talk about it. Ryan says that he doesn't know if he can talk about it, to which Percy understands and says that the pair can just keep each other company and take in their surroundings. Percy points out the moon, and Ryan calms down a bit as he looks up at it. Ryan reveals that it's his first time in the overworld and Percy recounts that he had been released by some personal shackles quite recently (That being the skulls, but he doesn't clarify that detail) and that the first time he saw the moon after his escape filled him with hope. Ryan agrees with the assessment on the moon. Ryan tells the basics of his situations, saying that his story is pretty complicated and that he had hurt a lot of people because of it. Percy replies "Imagine not being able to remember it" referencing the person he was before he died, who he had the feeling had hurt a lot of people seeing as how people react to him. Ryan shares that he has a scar on his body for every person he's hurt, and Percy admits that he also has a lot of scars, but he finds that picking flowers helps to deal with everything. Ryan admits to never seeing a flower up close before and Percy tells him that he really likes them and that he kind of looks like the red ones, which are his favorite. Percy then continues on to say that if things ever get to much, Ryan could just write it down, and passes him an empty journal. As Ryan is just about to politely end the conversation, the chip takes back control, causing him to let out a pained noise. Percy is confused and worried as Ryan passes the journal back to him. Percy, not knowing about the chip, or even Ryan's name, insists that he keep the journal, but Ryan runs off before he can give it back or say more.

Percy, alone on the bridge, reflects on the conversation. He had found Ryan nice and he hopes that the stranger get out of whatever situation he had found himself in. Percy wonders why he didn't take the journal, checks to see if it's water damaged, and looks inside to see a message from Ryan.

"help"

Percy looks down at the message in disbelief for a few seconds before running after Ryan. He's too slow to react, and by time Percy is off the bridge, Ryan is gone. Percy laments never properly introducing himself or asking for Ryan's name (The one thing that saved him was that Ryan didn't know who he was, but Percy doesn't know that). Despite the situation, Percy has decided that the next time he sees this stranger, he will do everything he can to help.

"I will help you. If we meet again, I promise I will help you, or my name is not Percevous Verance."

Episode 18: Comparing Notes
Percy arrives back at the beanstalk of Esterdale and he's glad to see it. He admits that he's still worried about the stranger he had met on the Oakheart bridge and hopes he's doing alright. He pushes the topic from his mind and starts to climb the beanstalk. The climb takes an awkwardly long time and he assesses that the climb is so hard because everyone living in Esterdale probably has wings or an elytra and such the beanstalk would not be used very much by those living there. He's basically the only person that would regularly have to use it due to not being able to use his wings or an elytra.

Watermuffin lands by Percy with an Elytra and they greet each other. Percy gets down to business and gives Watermuffin the maps he needs for the Resistance base and then asks how the building is going. Watermuffin replies that that the building went alright and that the project is close to being finished and Percy responds that he'll check it out later. Percy asks if there is anywhere he can sleep and Watermuffin says that almost all the houses of Esterdale are empty. Percy doesn't want to impose on anyone's property, but Watermuffin assures that Esterdale has been abandoned for hundreds of years. Percy still entertains the idea for making his own house.

The pair turn around to see Jboy return to Esterdale, both Percy and Watermuffin greet him. Percy notes that Jboy was supposed to chaperone Bronze to Wilwae. Jboy details that they were attacked by the Power trio, Hanna, Glow, and someone he doesn't know. Jboy describes the third person, and it's uncomfortably familiar to Percy. Percy adds in some details about the person and Watermuffin asks how he knows what the stranger looked like. Percy shares that he had met the person the night before on the Oakheart bridge. Jboy asks if Ryan had tried to kill Percy, but Percy explains what happened, and shows Jboy and Watermuffin the Journal with the "help" message. Jboy notes that when he had met Ryan, it did not seem like he needed any help, that he just wanted to cause pain. Percy points out the inconsistency of character between the person he had met and the person Jboy had met. Jboy brings up the possibility of twins, but Percy brings up that later in the conversation, there seemed to be a switch flip in Ryan that caused him to become colder just before he had ran off. After a moment of shared confusion amongst the resistance, Percy offers that they all head to bed.

Jboy flies off and Watermuffin helps Percy in finding a house as the screen turns black.

Stream 9: Wilwae
Percy is not in this stream, but he is mentioned and in a flashback

In the conversation between Scintilla and Hanna, the conversation turns to Prince Percevous. Hanna says that Ryan is a clone of Prince Percevous, and Scintilla gives Percy's full name "Prince Percevous Verance the First... The late Prince Percevous Verance the First" Hanna calls Percy "Percy" and Scintilla warns her that if Percevous had heard her calling him "Percy" he'd stab her since he despises that nickname. After Hanna mentions knowing Percy, Scintilla seems confused. They ask when Hanna had met Percevous. Hanna answers a few months beforehand. Scintilla, vastly perplexed, says that couldn't be possible, Percevous is dead.

Hanna insists that she's met a Percy Verance. Scintilla decides to settle this with describing Percevous.

S: "Prince Percevous Verance, he's tall, right? He's a faerie. He's got horns."

H: "Yup, and wings"

S: "Two rings on his horns to symbolize his status?"

H: "Yes."

S: "Purple hair, yellow eyes?"

H: "Wait-"

S: "Brown and Gold wings-"

H: "Red and Black wings."

The two disagree on Percevous's looks. Hanna states that Percy has red hair and not purple. Scintilla asks if who Hanna has met is truly Percevous and brings up the possibility of Percy pretending to be Percevous. Hanna describes again that he has horns and wings, but Scintilla says that those are the mark of a winged faerie, not solely Percevous himself. Hanna details that Percy was manipulating her and trying to ruin her dreams, and Scintilla finally relents that that description of action does sound like Percevous. They're not completely sure, but they do mention that Bronze had left Wilwae to search for Percevous because he had reason to believe he wasn't dead even though he probably was. Hanna assures Scintilla that Percy is most definitely alive. Scintilla reveals that if that is the case than he is the heir to Wilwae ever since his mom had died. Hanna asks about the queen, and Scintilla explains that Percevous's mom, Queen Caligo, died the night Percevous would have. When asked how Queen Caligo died, Scintilla tells Hanna to ask Ryan and ends the conversation.

Hanna mentions that Scintilla reminds her of Percy before Percy betrayed her.

Scintilla mentions that Faeries don't sleep much.

As Per the Duke's description: Each monarch of Wilwae descended from the Verance/Advorsus bloodline is blessed by the protection golems. This blessing allows the land to become fertile and livable. Without Percy in Wilwae, things are starting to wilt and die.

The cutscene, 10 months ago, Wilawe:

An unfamiliar ritual room is shown, similar in design to the one that used to be under Percy's base, but bigger and grander. It's full of cultist pillagers, chanting. It clips to the staircase leading up to the room. At the bottom of it is three people: A pillager, Duke Barrington, and Prince Percevous. He looks like Percy, but matches the colour scheme Scintilla had described, purple hair and yellow eyes. His personality seems to be more dark and sly than Percy, who has been nothing but light and kind the entire show.

P: "I refuse to move further. Let's make a deal. You're lucky I don't have my magic right now, but let me go, and-"

The Duke fishhooks Percevous by the wings and drags him up the stairs.

P: "WHAT IN THE PROTECTION GOLEM'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?"

D: "This is in the name of the Witherskulls young Prince."

P: "What? No! They're dead! They were defeated long ago. You can't literally do something in their name!"

D: "Actually, they were asleep. You know how the great Tenebris woke them up the first time?"

P: "I don't know, I can't ask Uncle. He's dead."

D: "You're finally catching up, little prince."

As Percevous begs for his life, the chanting from previous cutscenes and flashbacks grows louder. They both get to the top of the stairs to show the alter room with a ritual circle in the middle, room lined with cultists. Percevous asks what this place is.

D: "Your grave"

The audio from Percy's in Episode 7 flashback plays on a black screen, now with the context surrounding it.

''"Let go of me! I'll have you hung for this! No! NO! no! Please! Not my wings! Not my wings! Not my wings! Not my- Please, as a Prince of this state, I-" There are cracks to wings and screams of pain. In the background, chanting calls, echoing throughout the full scene. "3 lives to rise 3 skulls"''

It cuts back to the ritual room. There are then three beats of a drum, for each beat, a puddle of blood and a skull is shown, signifying the three deaths that rose the three skulls. Percevous's deaths. Those who live in the world of Crowhollow only have three lives. The lingering question of who Percy is exactly if Percevous is dead remains for the audience to find out.

When the scene cuts to the present, all the blood and feathers are still there, showing that this cutscene was indeed history and not future.

It is revealed and confirmed by the Duke that it is the 11 month anniversary of when Percevous's three lives were sacrificed to the Witherskulls.

When Hanna threatens to take Scintilla's life, she laughs. She mentions that Hanna had compared her to Percevous, but in Scintilla's mind, Hanna is more like the Percevous she knew. Hanna threatened to take her life? Percevous had already taken it in all the ways except with death. He had taken her wings, her status, everything away from her.

S: "You threatening to take my life is more life Percevous than I've ever seen."

List of Boundaries: Percy Verance (The Youtuber, in terms of the character)
• NSFW: Preferably not? I have other characters you can draw NSFW, (Such as Lumen/Tenebris or even the Faerietale cast) but I don't really see Percy as inherently sexual. He's Panromantic Asexual by the way. You can draw him objectively without a shirt of smthn, (Since he does have a lot of scars which could be used for angst drawings) but not with the aim of being sexual, if that makes sense.

• Shipping: I'm not comfortable shipping Percy and any of the other characters on Crowhollow. Everyone on Crowhollow cast is younger than me by some amount and I get this feeling of disgust when thinking of the possibility of being shipped with them romantically since I consider them all as younger siblings by now. If you want to ship cross-fandom with characters above 18, go for it!!!

• Fanfiction: Yeah! I love fanfics XD I beg of you nothing sexual though.

Violent themes in fanworks: Sure! I do that from time to time too XD

• Stans and account stuff (pfps, usernames, etc.): Sure! (Stans in the self-identified meaning of the word, not stalker-fans by the way. I've heard the song by Eminem, I definitely don't want anyone to take it to that extent)

• Percy’s privacy: I'd rather you not go out of your way to find out more than I'm willing to share.

• Genderbends: Percy is trans (Though he currently doesn't remember why he has those surgery scars on his chest, he still identifies as masc Nonbinary XD). I'm not sharing his deadname or anything. I don't really think you can genderbend a non-binary person XD. I give permission for fanartists to explore what he may have looked like pre-transition, since it's all for fun, just keep his pronouns as he/they and his name as either Percy or Percevous.

• Cosplays: YUS, GO FOR IT!

• Tattoos: Sure, there'd prolly be some pretty good designs, what with the wings.

• His music: I won't copyright claim any of the Crowhollow music I've made so it can be used for Animatics and such (This may be different with Hanna so check with her boundaries) My only request is to not use it for anything absolutely horrible such as hate speech or anything.
