Stampy, Squid, Lee, Amy, Salem, and Dan were hanging out in the Club House. They were waiting for their good friends, Taylor and Qwerty after a long year. "Hey guys!" Came a happy voice which belonged to Qwerty.
"Hi!" Amy said. "So, how are you?" Taylor asked. Knowing them, Taylor knew they weren't stable after the whole 'Incident'. "Good." Squid replied. "So, you guys are new here, right?" Stampy asked. Taylor and Qwerty nodded.
"Well, we were planning on touring you in My Lovely World!" Stampy said. "Good idea!" Qwerty chirped and Taylor smiled. "First here is the Love Garden and... Wait what was that?" Amy asked as they turned to a rustling sound.
? POV
I've been watching them. For a year, I have been saving them. HE's still here. HE's not defeated. My long, slender legs moved cautiously as I spied on them from the bushes. Until they stopped in the Love Garden.
At the sudden action, I stopped abruptly and made a rustling sound. I winced as I heard the pinkhead say, "Wait, what was that?" I tried moving back into the trees but my foot got caught in a looped rope and I got hanged into the air, my arms dangling in the air.
I tried hard to not squirm for freedom as I might make too much of noise. In instinct, I grabbed my sword and cut the rope before they can even catch me.
Normal POV
"Wait what was that?" Amy asked. Dan looked at the direction Amy was looking and a click of a certain mechanism caught his ear. Because googlies tend to invade Stampy's Love Garden, Dan made a trap.
"Yes! My trap worked!" Dan said as he ran to the bushes. He pushed them aside and saw nothing. "What?" Dan stuttered in disbelief. "Don't worry, Dan. You must've caught a bat or something." Taylor said.
"But, the rope seems to be cut!" Squid said as he showed the rope to the others. "Darn it. I'm gonna find that googly! Stay here!" Dan said as he took out his sword and went deeper into the trees.
Dan's POV
Okay, now where is that googly? I know it's here somewhere... "Duck!" I heard someone say. I turned around and my eyes widened.
? POV
"Duck!" I yelled and took off my pitch black coat which was perfect if it was night. I dropped it on the ground and pulled out my bow which was strapped onto my back. I grabbed an arrow and as the man ducked, I released it into the Creeper's neck which was there a few minutes ago, ready to blow up the man.
The arrow cut through the Creeper's head, severing it and it's body dropped to the ground. I brushed some of my ocean blue hair away from my pale white face and saw the man, looking at me in complete shock.
Dan's POV
The stranger took off it's cloak and I gasped. It wasn't an it at all. Actually, I knew that person. She had blue hair, a silky, white dress and white boots. With oh-so familiar eyes except they were azure blue. I ducked as she shot an arrow behind me. I looked at where she was aiming and saw a creeper.
It's head was severed and it's body was dropped to the ground. I looked back at the person who saved my life and saw that no one was there. Shocked, I stood up and grabbed my iron sword and went back to the gang.
? POV
The last thing I want is for you to see me, Middleton. I'm unstable. I'm harmful to you. And you might not see me again when HE is finally defeated. For now, I stay hidden. Wait for a day when we see eye to eye.
I crouched on a tree as I saw the man run back to his friends. Ugh, I feel bad. Lying to them for a year. I was here, brought back from Aether, confused and shocked. Then, HE appeared in the ruins.
I had to run back. But I'm a threat to you now. I-I just can't reveal myself. Not now. I'm sorry. But I have to.
Amy's POV
We watched as Dan ran back to us, sweaty and pale as if he saw a ghost. He almost sank to his knees if it weren't for Stampy and Squid supporting him and sitting him on a chair. "Dan?" I said. No reply. "Daniel!" I yelled into his ear and he snapped. "CREEPER! DUCK! ICY! HEROBRINE! What?!" The last word he snapped at me.
I don't know about the other four. "Dan calm down. What happened?" Stampy asked. "And don't say it too fa-" Taylor reminded. Too late. He was saying things too fast it's like he was mumbling.
"IstoppedtotakemybreathwhensomeonesaidduckandIdidandIturnedaroundandsawacreeperandit'sheadwasseveredandit'sbodyfellbutthat'snotallthepersonwhosavedmelooksalotlikeIcyandsuddenlyshedisappeared!" Dan said before breathing heavily again.
We didn't understand the rest but this is the only thing we understood: Icy. "Wait, you saw Icy?!" I asked or yelled in the top of my lungs. Dan nodded.
? POV
I sighed in frustration. He did see me. How will I explain to them now? I was hiding in the bushes close to the gang. It's now or never. I slowly stood up. My heart was racing as if it wanted to come out of my mouth.
My hands shakingly rested on the leaf block in front of me, making a rustling sound. Thank goodness the pinkhead yelled, muffling the rustling. I peeked through the leaf block and saw the others yelling at each other and Dan yelling back.
But I heard these words come out of Squid's mouth, "Mate, Icy is dead!" I closed my eyes shut and finally stood up. I heard the yelling stop but I refused to open my delicate azure blue eyes.
Gasps were heard and I could feel staring into my soul. "I-Icy?" I heard Amy say.
Normal POV
The gang were yelling at each other, each saying their own opinion on Dan's little encounter. "Look, that isn't possible!" Taylor shouted. "But she could've survived!" Amy yelled. "Mate, Icy is dead!" Squid yelled. They continued shouting until Qwerty gasped.
Everyone turned to where she was staring and stopped yelling. They also gasped and stared at the blunette in front of them. Her eyes were clenched shut and she looked very familiar. "I-Icy?" Amy whispered.
The girl opened her eyes to reveal azure blue orbs. Filled with tears. "A-Amy..." She said. Amy quickly brought her hands to her mouth when the girl breathe out her name. The girl's shoulders tensed and she truned to run away when Amy grabbed her hand.
"No, please. Just stay for once, Icy. Just stay." Amy pleaded with new, fresh tears falling to her cheek. Icy could feel the warmth of Amy's hand spreading to her whole body. She restrained herself from hugging Amy.
What she did was unbelievable.
? POV
I regretted my decision to reveal myself. Not knowing what came over me, I shook Amy's hand off my own and ran back to the trees. Hearing Amy gasp shattered me again. Whenever I fell into deep sorrow, I begin to crack a little.
I was sent back here from Aether to finish what we began. To kill Herobrine. He's stuck, in the Nether. Without the Flower of Forever, he is still alive. But, after we defeat HIM, I return back to Aether. That's why I was afraid to show myself.
My friends' hearts will be broken once again. I don't want that. I never wanted that. Now, here I am, running away from the best things that ever happened in my life. I could feel fresh hot tears running down my broken face.
The calls of my name began to become distant and I felt a little relieved. But that spark of hope that my isolation goes on shattered as I froze. I couldn't move a muscle. I looked at my right and saw my psychic cousin.
"Max, let me go." I whispered. Max didn't. I grew impatient and furrowed my brows to show that I'm angry. He glared back at me. Fire soon surrounded us. They were brought on by me.
He has to let me go. He has to! "Let me go, Max." I hissed. Max closed his eyes and, I presumed, regrettedly unfreezes me and I continued my run. Surprisingly, he didn't go after me. I brushed some branches and twigs off my face and I realized why he let me go.
He created these branches. Ugh, I hate him. The branches and twigs cut my skin and I fell, then everything went black in an instant.
Slowly, voices surrounded me and I opened my azure blue eyes. I turned my head, my eyes half-closed and saw shadows outside from the window. I was in a blue room with wooden plank floor.
When I had the strength, I facepalmed. I was in Stampy's Lovely World again. So much for being hidden. The soft click of a door unlocking caught my attention. I brought both my hands to my face to hide the shame.
Poke! I parted my right hand's ring and middle finger to allow my right eye to peek on what's going on. Poke! Okay, enough with the pokes, who is this? Poke! I'm getting annoyed now.
I removed both of my hands to see it was Amy. A bright smile appeared on her cheeky face that I know so well. "She's awake!" Amy chirped. The others went inside the room. When Amy looked back at me, she could see the hint of annoyance in my glare when I turned to Max.
I sat up. "Max Andy Arkstone, why did you do that?!" I yelled, completely losing it. "I had to! I know you, Icy. And I know how much you like to be hidden, but this has to stop." Max replied.
His voice was deeper than usual and I noticed he had an amazing growth spurt. When I had the idea about what happened to him, I winced. He was 3 years older than me. That means... Oh Notch.
I don't want to talk about it. "Just please let me go." I pleaded, pushing the thought aside. "Icy, we want you to explain to us about what happened." Lee said. I glared at the bear. After a long silence and Squid and Lee blocking my only exit: The door, I sighed in defeat.
"I was sent back here from Aether to complete what was started. To kill HIM." I explained. "Who's 'HIM'" Dan asked. "The one who tried to kill me in the first place." I replied. "Herobrine?!" Amy yelled.
I nodded. I explained everything. Everything except the little price I had for coming back here. That's a secret I have to hide for now. "So, aside from trying to hide from us, what were you doing the past year?" Taylor asked.
"Saving you from googlies, hiding from other people-" I was cut off by Taylor. "I said aside from hiding from us." She said. "That's what I was saying. I didn't say from you, I said from other people." I explained and went back to the discussion.
"And, searching for the Flower of Forever." I finished. "You still don't know where the Flower is?" Salem asked. "Yes, it's still nowhere to be found." I said. It started raining outside. "Looks like you won't go anywhere." Dan said.
I nodded. I can't get too attached to them again. Not this time. Not now.
? POV
Nether brick walls built up high to keep out anything who dares to trespass my forbidden prison. Chained to walls in the Nether. Contact with lava may burn our bones. Oh, but not me.
In front me, was a flower. This flower had a story behind it. Black for the shadows who victoriously engulfed the world in darkness. Red for the splatter of blood in every glass window. And Blue for the Light Heavens that saved those and took away the Darkness' throne from them.
But not anymore, my brothers and sisters, will your mere existence be forgotten once again. Minecraftia shall perish indeed in engulfing flames that will burn down every home, every soul.
And may my brother, the traitor who created light and hideous citizens, perish as well in those flames. May they engulf him and crush his very soul. You shall rise! And shall Minecraftia fall once and for all.
Now go, do your work. While I do mine. Look out, my daughter. Darkness shall make you perish. Shadows formed around me and broke my chains. "Now, my fellow shadows, finish the tale of Darkness." I said as the Shadows sat me in my throne.
They went outside the Nether castle and into the surface. While I had an evil grin on my face.
Icy's POV
We were all ready to go back to Septin to warn the citizens when in the corner of my eye I saw something move. I looked at the direction and saw nothing. Strange. I continued packing my things when something moved again.
"Squid, Lee, please stop. I have eno-" My eyes widened as I saw shadows on the ceiling. I breathe heavily before they came lunging in towards me. Thankfully, Amy opened the door which let the light in and killed the shadows.
"Icy, hurry up! We'r- Wait, you okay?" Amy asked. I noticed I was leaning on the shelf and I was sweaty. "I, uh, I'm fine Amy Lee. Just fine." I replied, looking at the ceiling. "Oh, okay. Come on, we're gonna miss the boat." Amy said as she exited the room.
I grabbed my cloak and headed for the door. When I was about to close the door, I narrowed my eyes at the ceiling in suspicion. Believe me when I tell you this, I was not hallucinating.
I closed the door and headed for the exit. "Come on, Icy!" Qwerty yelled. She was steering the boat and I got on. "So, Max. How's Trivius?" I asked. Max shrugged. "Fine. Still making potions but fine." Max replied.
Oh, he's still potion-crazy. After the whole incident last year, I heard Trivius has gone potion-crazy and gone cuckoo-bananas saying that I returned. Wise old-man was telling the truth.
Qwerty sailed away in the river and it was a 5 hour trip to Septin. We watched as the sun setted in the horizon and we breathe in the night air. The only light we had was Qwerty's boat lamp.
Suddenly, we heard howling in the distance. "Wolves?" Stampy asked. "Most probab- AH!" Qwerty yelled as the boat came in contact with something. "Darn rocks." She said. We all looked overboard and saw the rock move.
"Qwerty, I don't think that's a rock." Dan said. "What?" Qwerty asked. The supposed to be rock broke into wolf shadows and one of them grabbed Salem's shirt and threw her in the water.
"Salem!" I yelled. Salem came onto the surface and looked around. Yup, I wasn't hallucinating earlier. They were real. But if they were killed when they were in contact with the light then... "Qwerty, give me the lamp. Guys, grab Salem and haul her to the boat." I said.
When Max was about to ask what's going on, Qwerty gave me the lamp and I dived into the water. "ICY!" They yelled. But I couldn't understand since the water vibrations ringed in my ears.
I swam to where Salem was and grabbed her hand. I led her to the boat and let the current sweep me to the wolf shadows. They were on a true rock and I climbed out of the water.
"She's there!" I heard Amy say. "Back!" I yelled as I swung the lamp in the wolf shadows' faces. They backed up and growled whenever they were near the light. "Back! Back, I say!" I yelled some more before the shadows backed up and disappeared into the darkness.
I swam back to the boat and halfway there, I felt myself sinking. I nearly facepalmed. I don't know how to truely swim! I squirmed in the water, hopeful that my friends could see me and help.
I heard a splash before I was submerged by the water. I can't believe I allowed myself to be cut off of air supply. My eyes felt droopy and I closed them. I felt arms under my armpits and they carried me back to the boat.
There was pushing on my chest and I coughed out some water before sitting up and opening my eyes. I saw the others surrounding me, all of them were worried. They sighed in relief and for the next half an hour, a lecture from Amy, Salem and Qwerty.
After they were finished, Max puts my cloak over my shoulders. "You okay, coz?" He asked. "I'm okay, Max." I replied. "What you did scared us you know that?" Dan asked, kneeling beside my cousin.
I stared apologetically at them both. We all went to our own bunks in Qwerty's boat. I lied on my bunk bed, my hands on my chest. I stared blankly onto the ceiling before closing my eyes and sleep. But I wish I hadn't.
~Nightmare~
Minecraftia shall perish I heard a voice say. White glowing eyes staring back at me. They disappeared before I saw grey eyes staring at me instead and a hand grinding some herbs roughly. I am not potion-crazy nor am I cuckoo-bananas, now out! Another voice said. It was completely different from before.
Suddenly, I got pushed into a hole I didn't see before and I fell. I stopped slowly before seeing a group of people in front of a crumbled mountain. One of them yelled "Icy!" Over and over again.
The scene disappeared and the next image made my blood boil in anger. It was Herobrine, frozen still in the pose which his sword was aiming at my heart. The mountain crumbled down and I saw nothing.
Suddenly, Fire surrounded me and spreaded all over. No. Not again. Please! I'm sick and tired of this wretched nightmare!
~End of Nightmare~
"NO!" I yelled and looked around. Everyone went down and checked what was wrong. "I-I'm okay." I replied. "Hey! Land ho!" Qwerty yelled. I stood up and went up. What came into our line of view shocked us.
An island, with ruin and ashes all over. Qwerty docked at the harbor, well, what's left of the harbor and we got off. So much for warning them. Suddenly, the bell tower rang louded and we covered our ears.
After the loud bang, we heard some cuckoo laughing. Max and I facepalmed. "Trivius!" Both of us yelled before running after the old man. The others followed closely and a figure whizzed pass us, stopped, grabbed a herb and whizzed back to the bell tower.
We ran after him and went in the bell tower. I opened the door cautiously and went in. Broken glass bottles were hanged on the ceiling. Herbs were scattered on the cobblestone floor and a zombie head laid on a cobblestone fence.
"Huh, where is it? Aha! Now, pour it pour it pour it. Yes!" Trivius yelled. We watched as the old man walked around, searching for ingredients for potions. "Yup, he's still potion-crazy." Max whispered. "Not to mention cuckoo-bananas." I replied back.
"What did you- *Gasp* Icy?" Trivius said. I nodded. He went up to me and hug me tightly. Awkwardly, I patted his semi-bald head. Wait, is it... burnt? "Trivius, what happened to Septin? I thought you became the protector of Septin's Magic!" I yelled.
"I couldn't remember anything else because I was knocked out, but before that I heard someone say 'Not Over Yet', then I turned around and I was knocked out. While I was being knocked out, I heard fire crackling." Trivius said.
"So, how's your little potion and cuckoo problem going?" I asked. I wished I hadn't. "I am not potion-crazy nor am I cuckoo-bananas! Now out!" Trivius said and pushed us out of the room.
I turned around to speak to him but the door was locked in front of my face. "Well, no help from Trivius. Let's search the town. There might be survivors and we can bring them back to Minecraftia Central City." I said.
Finally! We got internet! Sorry for the delay of this long-awaited story, guys. But here I am! Next chapter will on soon. This is Icy and see you next chapter! Bye!
