The Axe Deal

## The Axe of War Deal

Skye visits Fen in a panic due to Streamless requesting that Skye fights her in the ruins of his Monument. Skye has no one to help her fight and fears that they will lose the battle against Streamless. In a moment of no hope, Wallflower, one of Streamless' closest allies arrives and offers Skye a deal. If she gives him the Axe of War, Wallflower won't summon 7 withers at the battle that Streamless requested he summon. Skye, in desperation, accepts the deal.

## Cause of the Event

Streamless tells Skye that in order to save the town of Dawn *(DawnSMP)* from withers and destruction, she would need to fight him in a different area far away from the town center. This area happens to be the ice spike ocean that Streamless' Monument was located in. The monument at this time has already been exploded and this resulted in fractures of the monument being frozen in the ice and forming a small area on ice for the battle to take place. This battle later will be known as the battle against Streamless.

Skye at the time, as little allies and little supplies. She is aware the battle will have around 7 withers and feels hopeless that her and her few allies will win the fight. This results in her becoming desperate and acting out irrationally for any scrap of hope or a better plan to win the battle. Leading to her ultimately making **the Axe of War Deal**.

## Event Summary

Skye goes to visit Fen near the Therapy Shack and they end up having a conversation behind it. Skye explains her worries and concerns to Fen about their failure in trying to recruit multiple people to help fight against Streamless. Fen tries their best to give Skye advice and help boost her confidence, but it seems like Skye is losing hope. She even considers attempting to destroy or burn the Axe of War to try and get out of the mess she is in *(Despite this not doing anything to benefit her).*

Not too long into their conversation, Vox arrives and agrees to join in and help them fight after previously saying they didn't want to be involved. This brings up Skye's confidence a bit. However, Wallflower then arrives and it changes the waves of the entire battle.

Wallflower starts by saying they want no harm, and he offers the deal to Skye. Wallflower and most characters on the SMP at this point were aware of Skye owning the Axe of War after taking it from Streamless in Streamless' imprisonment. Wallflower, being the sun god still in disguise at this point, wants the Axe of War for his own protection. However, this was not told to Skye.

Wallflower instead told Skye that he was assigned by Streamless to be the one to spawn the withers at the battle against Streamless and that if Skye gave him the axe, he wouldn't spawn them.

Skye debating taking the offer, however, she eventually caved in and took the deal. Giving up the axe she already wanted to get rid of for the harm it had caused her. She assumed that even if Wallflower was lying, it was an attempt in helping them in the battle from a situation she already considered long gone.

## Aftermath

Not long after, Streamless visited Skye asking for the Axe of War and threatening to kill her if she didn't give it up. However, Skye no longer had the axe. Streamless was unaware of this.

Skye instead tried to play it off that the Axe of War was in her ender chest, and if Streamless killed her, he would never get it. Streamless, however, continued to threaten Skye, even going as far as saying he would kill her even if it ment losing the axe. Streamless tells Skye he has Adder again and that if Skye dies with the axe then in a way, it benefits him because he won't need to deal with anyone else getting it. He puts his axe to Skye's throat and demands her to give the axe. Skye then confesses she doesn't have it. Streamless asks where it is and Skye lies and says Fen has it. Streamless tells Skye if she is lying, he will burn her house down. While Streamless is leaving he notices Sanic watching. He mentions Sanic about being in Midnight but Sanic doesn't know what he is talking about. Streamless leaves to go speak with Fen while Skye tells Sanic about her hidden stash of materials she has been working on. If Streamless burns the house, the materials will too.

Skye and Sanic quickly hide the materials Skye was preparing for the battle in a cave system under Skye's house and move the animals out. Sanic then leaves and Streamless comes back. He once again tells Skye if she is lying, he will burn it down. Skye says she isn't lying. Streamless burns it down anyways. As the Pink House Skye built with Daxi and Venti, the one she has lived in since the start of joining the SMP, burns around her. Skye tries to gather last min items she forgot, one being Venti's shield which was on the wall.

She asks Streamless why? She told the truth? She didn't have the axe and even if Fen didn't have it, she couldn't give it to him. Why burn it down? Streamless then says that he promises he would take everything from Skye before he died. And soon, he'd take her last life. That was a promise he'd keep. Streamless then leaves as Skye watches the house go up in flames. The last thing Skye had of the memories in the past, gone.

In the actual battle against Streamless, it is Streamless who spawns the withers as Streamless ultimately decided to be the one to release the dramatic part of the fight on the server. During a meeting with Skye and a few others who wanted to help Skye fight Streamless in Sanic's Cottage, Kerropi actually snuck in to listen in and reveal the plan, along with the Axe of War Deal to Streamless. Kerropi revealed to Streamless that not only was Wallflower a god *(Which by now was revealed to a few memebers on the server, including Skye),* But also that Wallflower made a deal behind Streamless' back. Though, Streamless seemed mostly unfazed by this, assumingly due to him knowing he would die in the battle to his over drinking of alcohol anyways.

Despite all this, the Axe of War is currently no longer in Skye or Wallflower's hands. It was last seen in Venti's hands due to him getting it from Wallflower. Venti has since died. Making the location of the real Axe of War unknown.
