Marz came too at the sound of a deep voice inside her head. 'Wake up,' it said. It was soft, but not filled with any emotion. If Marz had to put one to it, she would say cold. Hardened over many years of hate. Slowly she turned around, until she came to a man. He had Longish brown hair and tan skin. He was tall, wore a turquoise shirt and blue jeans, with a long black coat and a black hat. But he had glowing, menacing white eyes. They made Marz shake, more than she had when Noah got angry or started fighting. Noah. The thought of him made her want to burst out crying, but she wouldn't dare do that in front of Herobrine. 'Best you don't,' said the voice inside her head, 'it's bad enough you're shaking,' Marz sat up and looked around. All around her was purplish bricks and reddish rock. The Nether. She knew where she was, because Noah had once told her about it. Noah was so smart, because he read a lot of books. Herobrine saw her looking around and curtly said 'Welcome home.' He rose and motioned for Marz to stand as well, but she was confused on what to think. As he moved towards the door, he realized she wasn't following. 'Daughter, why aren't you coming,' he growled. "Because I don't know what to think about you. Are you really my father? I may only be 14, but Noah taught me well. Very well. And do you even know my name? Because you call me Daughter like I don't have one." He turned to look at her, white eyes almost boring into her soul. 'Noah, yes, it was a shame that he had to sacrifice. But I didn't lose you, Martiza, or Marz, as brother dearest calls you,' he said with a tone of mocking in his voice. "Do not talk like that about Noah," Marz said, building up the courage to face him. But before she could, she was pinned against a wall with a tremendous force weighing against her. Her new found Father was standing far away with a look of concentration on his face, one arm out, almost holding her there. 'Do not speak to me like that ever again. I can talk however I like about my son. Now, if you don't believe me, take a look,' he said, motioning towards the pool of lava not too far away. She bent over and looked inside and a wavy, blurry reflection stared back at her. She looked almost the same, but her fiery red had become more muted. And her eyes. Her ice blue eyes had turned white, like Hero's. They glowed, but not as brightly. 'Now not only are you my daughter, you look like me now as well. Touch it,' he said. Slowly, she reached her hand out, remembering the only other time she had encountered lava…..

*Flashback*

It was dark in the cave Noah had chosen, but they had a task. Mining out iron and possibly diamond to bring back to Pans. As well as a blade master, he was also a traveling blacksmith, making the finest of swords, but only for the worthy. They were down very deep, but it was necessary if they wanted to please Pans. A man of few words, their 'father' was, but when he did, it had meaning. Noah was using the pickaxe, but Marz was too small to lift it. Insisting she had to go along, Noah took her, but only if she promised to stick with him, and bring her wood sword. She agreed, so now whenever Noah went out, Marz followed behind, making fun for herself. They had found a way down to the level where diamonds mostly appear, but there was also the looming danger of lava. So as they made their way down the mineshaft, Marz saw something glowing. It was making a light even more powerful than the torches Noah carried, so Marz was drawn to it. She stepped into the other shaft unbeknownst to Noah. As she stepped through, she saw it. The glowing, molten rock flowing through the small cavern. Marz was fascinated, so she reached out and touched it. Immediately she was filled with a burning pain. It was so much that she cried out in agony. She writhed on the stone, holding her scalded hand as she screamed in pain. Immediately she heard Noah's footsteps on the stone as he rushed over to take care of her. When he saw what she had done, he reached into his pack and pulled out his last potion of healing, giving it to her. Once she drank it, she saw the black fade away till her hand looked normal again. That was the day Noah made her swear to stick with him and never approach lava again.

*End Flashback*

Marz shuddered as she reached down and stuck her and into the scalding lava. When her hand connected with the boiling surface, she didn't feel any pain. It almost tickled, and she…..liked it. It felt good. "But…lava…..but….how?" she stuttered, still in shock. 'A trait passed down from you to me. Believe me now?' he questioned as she nodded her head, 'Good, now I think it is time for you to rest. Tomorrow you train.' Marz was so tired that she trudged over from the chair she sat in over to the bed in the corner. All her energy was gone from running so far to the switch to the Nether, from the loss of Noah to the gain of Hero; it was all too much for a 14 year old to handle on her own. She was out even before she could realize just how tired she was.

(Hey dudes, just letting you know that I am going to incorporate HerobrineKingOfTheNether's character Raven in, with permission of course. Now, we are going to take a vote. How many of you want Noah to come back? Just PM me before Monday, cause that's my writing day now. Also, leave a Minecraft YouTuber and if I am feeling brave I'll try to incorporate them. I'm already doing CaptainSparklez, SkyDoesMinecraft, Deadlox, & MinecraftUniverse, so leave one that is not them. KK see you later dudes, and maybe an update by Tuesday? Also, keep an eye out for an update on The Light At The End of the Tunnel and maybe a Sky fanfic ;D )
