A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! For that you get the next chapter :D
ChapterTwo: Questions
As the door closed Lieght whirled around and began inspecting Steve. He soon found a couple of burns and some deep gashes.'Hmmm...very nasty. What were they caused by, hmm? Steve?'
They both looked at Steve only to find he was peacefully asleep. Revler laid him down on one of the empty seats, just in time for Lieght to start interrogating him.
'What happened, exactly?'
Relver frowned.
'Ask Vangen.' He rumbled.'I wasn't there.'
Lieght turned to Vangen and waited pointedly for him to...spill the cocoa beans.
'Well, I was just farming when I heard an explosion.' Vangen began. 'I looked in the direction it came from and was just in time to see Steve get hit by the blast of a creeper's explosion. I called for Revler and ran towards Steve. He woke up just before it got dark and then we had to race back here.'
Lieght nodded. 'Interesting, interesting.'
He sighed. 'At least this will be easy to heal. One of our Health potions should do the trick.'
Lieght went to a small chest hidden in the shadows of the cathedral pulled out a sparkling red potion. He strode to Steve just in time for him to return to reality.
'Uhh...My leg hurts worse then The Nether.' Steve groaned.
Lieght handed him the potion. 'Just drink this and you'll be fine.' He said encouragingly.
Steve gulped it down and paused. A faint red glow grew around his injuries and they began to disappear. Before they vanished a dark glow formed, seemingly driving back the healing mist. The onlookers gasped as the effects of the healing potion were counter-attacked and defeated. The injuries grew back and looked worse then ever.
'What just happened?' Steve asked, shocked.
Vangen frowned. 'I've never heard of that happening before. Healing potions are supposed to fix anything!'
Revler shifted a little uncomfortably and spoke up. 'I've heard of this before.'
The others whipped around to look at him.
'What do you mean?' Steve asked curiously.
Revler sighed. 'Along time before I was first deactivated, an ancient creature was said to live in the void, named The Wither. When summoned it'd teleport to the Overworld and would destroy any living creature in sight. It was unstoppable, and eventually Notch and his brother Herobrine had to travel to the Overworld and defeat it, trapping it far under the bedrock. It was summoned much like we are created, except the body is made of soulsand and three heads from strange creatures called Wither Skeletons are placed over each block. Thankfully all Wither Skeletons have long since disappeared.'
Everyone was silent, processing the information until Lieght spoke up.
'What does this have to do with Steve's leg, and the strange glow?' He asked.
'Though it is many chunks beneath the bedrock, The Wither was said to be able to influence the minds of the hostile mobs. The injuries they caused would be swiftly infected and if not treated would allow The Wither to enter the injured's mind.' Revler explained.
'Why was it called The Wither?' Vangen asked.
'When it spotted a living creature it would shoot smaller versions of it's heads from it's mouth. Any creature hit by them would be inflicted by the 'Withering Effect'. They would swiftly lose health and anything hit by them would have the injuries infected. The injuries would be hard to heal because remnants of The Wither's essence would remain in the wound, fighting against any Healing force.'
'That explains why my leg didn't heal!' Steve gasped.
Lieght frowned as he thought about it. 'We need to get something to get rid of the Wither Essence!'
'But how?' Vangen asked.
'The only thing's that have so far been able to work are items blessed by one of the gods or healing done by a god themselves.' Revler added.
'Don't major cities have shrines to gods?' Steve asked, a plan forming in his head.
Lieght nodded. 'They all do. What are you planning to do?'
'I'm going to walk to the nearest city and find a shrine.' Steve said determinedly.
'The nearest city is Ir Qas, roughly two chunks away.'
'Then let's go!' Steve made to rise but was stopped by Vangen.
'Not yet Steve,' Vangen warned. 'You still need some time to rest and recover'
Steve sighed but he nodded and laid back down. Exhausted by the recent events he soon fell asleep.
