wemmbu's best friend, eggchan, had been captured by flamefrags, who was using egg as a hostage to take wemmbu's mace. after wemmbu got egg back, was they went back to manepear's base

manepear was wemmbu's trainer, he was like a father to him. manepear had told wemmbu not to go after eggchan, warning he'd be killed, but wemmbu did it anyway. he had to save his best friend. they returned back to manepear's base, and wemmbu was excited to tell manepear of their success, but wemmbu and egg couldn't find him anywhere in the massive base.

the base was like a treehouse, made in a MASSIVE tree, so wemmbu flew around it, landing near the top as he looked around, still calling mane's name. wemmbu paused as he noticed a sign a few feet below him, and flew down towards it with his elytra

he was relieved at first, believing it would be the reason for why manepear wasn't there, or maybe coordinates to a new base, but there were just two words on the sign.

"lost cause."

wemmbu instantly knew it was about him, and felt the cold feeling of betrayal settle like a rock in his stomach. he felt tears sliding down his cheeks as he tried to stop them.
