*end of chapter 1* I turned and I came across the face of shadow.

*start of chapter 2*

For glory. Those 2 words echoed through my head as I looked at the hidden face of the person in front of me. The only thing I could see clearly and make out was his eyes. His bright red eyes with hints of orange. It felt like I knew this guy. I felt the cold object, which was a pure black sword with a brown handle and the blade *black* had hints of purple and had diamond jewels down the middle, move from my body. I watched as the guy backed up and stop.

Right then, the sun came out and lit up the alleyway. I looked straight and saw him. Standing in front of me was my friend, Israphel. I was rather shocked. He didn't look good nor himself. I became scared and worried. I didn't know what was going on. "Is... Israphel. Israphel!" I yelled softly.

Israphel dropped his black sword and fell to his knees with open arms. I ran and completely glomped him. After a few minutes, we both sat up. "Ashton. I thought I was never going to see you again. You've been gone for 2 years and I grew worried." Israphel said quietly.

"I know Izzy, I know. I apologize for that. I have been going through a lot lately. I had injured my wing about a month ago and it finally healed all the way. I was planning on coming back to Minecraft." I said as we stood up.

I picked up his sword and studied it as I never saw it before in my life. I looked at it closely, seeing each and every little design and mark. After looking it over, I noticed that the blade itself was made out of obsidian with cut diamonds melted down the middle of it. I was amazed by its beauty. I smiled as I have it back.

We both gripped the sword, looking at each other. "For Glory." We both said in unison.
