Prologue
The moment Shadow set foot in that room, he sensed something was wrong. Notch's face was grim and Herobrine was facing the floor. Steve, oddly, was absent from the meeting, which made Shadow wonder if that was why the two rulers had called him in.
He had been busy warding off creepers from a nearby village, when a sign appeared in front of him. 'Come quick, the spirit will not wait. –Notch' and he set to work, building a portal to the Aether.
"Shadow, I'm glad you came," Notch said, his face lighting up slightly.
"We have important news," Herobrine continued, "Steve is dead."
The look of horror upon Shadow's face was more of that on a Ghast's.
