Another day another bloodshed, Clown wasn't able to really sit by idly in spawn anymore for he was STILL being hunted by the empire… It made sense, Mapicc wanted his mace, they all did, he still had yet to recover properly from the fights and all the hunts days ago.
The scars were still fresh but he could go days without feeling it until he actually sits down and realises he's got an infection for not taking care of it properly for like the 20th time that week..
Clown didn't know exactly what he's doing, he could be doing something. A little more productive like joining Realms and actually starting grinding again, but he's missed the exciting thrill of being on lifesteal for a while and he's just hoping for a fight to break out…Maybe Kab would message him at one point but even she's probably busy doing her lore…
His hand went from holding his golden apples to his mace, the heavy weapon he got used to holding and is basically a dumbbell with how much it weighed. He wanted to smash someone… he got to smash Jepexx which was all satisfying but he wanted more.
Finally, his comm pinged.. he expected it to be Kab but-

Clown took a good minute to process the notification, mouth hung loosely before he hadn't realised he was stumbling to get down from his position. He needed to get to spawn- Paige could be in trouble- She might spawn killed-
He fell from the lighthouse, barely being able to equip his elytra in time before flying forward to the direction of where the main spawn is.
Then he heard voices..
“How the fuck are you here?!” it was Mapicc’s voice.. of course it was Mapicc’s voice.
“Don't ask, I'm just here to look for a certain Archmage..” Clown damn missed her voice, heart thumping pretty fast…oh how he missed that pretty face of hers, which was covered by a pigeon mask she made herself…
“I'm sorry- bro..what? Archmage..?” Minute was there as well- of course the people that wanted to kill him were conveniently right next to spawn.
“Clown, where’s Clown..” Paige said more straightforward, Minute and Mapicc looked at each other.
“Clowns a what..?”
“Where is he..” She repeated, Mapicc shrugging and Minute looking around.
“I have an idea how to get his attention..” Minute says, smirking as he looked to Paige who backed up…
She didn't have armor, she didn't have anything to protect her.
“What if we tempt that guy to come here when he finds out his girl is defenseless?” Minute circles Paige and Mapicc picks up on his idea.
“Good point..” Mapicc whispers, pointing his sword to her neck. Paige was not phased, she knew the dangers of Lifesteal, she knew what they get up to… how could she not? She was dating their deadliest player.
“Do you underestimate me..?” She asks simply, Minute and Mapicc hesitating a little. Paige doesn't do PVP, they KNOW that.. but she was dating Clown, she was basically in the same situation as Kab, both close to Clown, one sees him as a partner, the other basically a older brother figure… both may not be fighters but they know how Kab works…
They don't know how Paige works, they don't know the full extent of their relationship other than being boyfriend and girlfriend, they don't know what tricks they may have. What's to say Paige won't be as deadly as Clown?
That can't be right… right..?
“Do you underestimate me..?” She asks again, Mapicc gulped, they were playing with fire here…
“Maybe..maybe we do maybe we don't-” Paige whipped her scarf around the both of them in a flash, catching them off guard and making them fall down with how tightly the scarf wrapped around them tightly.
“The fuck-”
“What a waste of time..” she whispered, pulling her scarf back as she adjusted her mask, walking away leaving Minute and Mapicc stunned..
Clown laughs and approaches..
“Well that was hot..” he whispers, Paige turning towards him as she wrapped the fabric around her neck.
“I guess your idea of a scarf for self defense wasn't so stupid after all..” she whispers back, smiling as they both hugged each other tightly.
“Missed you..” Paige mumbles, yelping as she was picked up and spun around by Clown.
“So great to see you.. and your not a pigeon this time..” he laughs, hand brushing her hair.
“And your not cooped up in the nether… thank goodness!” They both laugh, holding hands.
“So what's the deal? How did you get the Lifesteal IP and why..?”
“Simple! I'm not telling you, and as for why~.. some things are going on in Realms, I'd suggest coming back.. “ the way she worded it didn't sound so good, Clown grew concerned.
“What happened?” He asked, wondering if anything happened regarding the kingdom.
“Just..some issues between Owen and Ros, Sneeg is currently talking to her, I suggest you join, she needs all the validation she can get..” the mention of Owen has Clowns blood boiling, if he laid one hand on Ros, he's not waiting till tomorrow for his turn of execution.
“Noted.. I'll be sure to come back..” while Clown wasn't originally planning to join Realms again, if Owen was scheming again and it's against Ros? It's fucking personal.
“Thank you.. we'll be waiting for you okay..?” Paige smiles, Clown nodding, in the corner of his eye behind her, Mapicc and Minute were rushing towards him swords in hand..he couldn't even have a moment of peace with his girlfriend…
“Love you Paige. “ He whispers, lifting his mask quickly to kiss her forehead, before moving her behind him and blocking Minutes sword with his axe.
“Do you mind? I'm tryna have a conversation with Paige.” Clown said sternly as he pushed Minute back, backing up with Paige who stayed close.
“Nah.. you can't combat log here!” Mapicc laughs, Clown turned to Paige who just signalled her to leave.
“I'll deal with them first, I'll be on Realms as soon as I can alright?” He assured her as he walked towards Minute and Mapicc.
“Go get them baby! I love you!” She cheered, waving her hand with a smile, the little extra motivation from Paige being enough for Clown to go fight them head on.
“Love you too!” He respond smiling, Paige backing up… making sure to check if he's winning the fight before logging off.
Mapicc was smashed by ClownPierce
There it was… she claps her hands before opening her menu screen.
