Chapter 3
"You what!" yelled Sara, furious that I killed the creature. "If it could speak, you should have questioned it on how to get out of this hellhole! We could be stuck here forever. I wonder how my little cousin is doing." I felt totally embarrassed. "Look, I'm sorry! I didn't think of it at the time. It did give me this." I held the small pearl in my hand, and I realized it looked like it was full of stars too, like a little Pinwheel Galaxy in its center.
Sara hadn't looked at me the whole time we've been speaking because she was mining some more iron. She stopped and turned my way. When she saw the pearl in my hand, her eyes went wide. "Wait, he gave that to you? That's amazing! Now, throw it."
"Why would I throw it? It's so pretty."
"Do it. See what happens."
I looked out of the mouth of the cave, and noticed it had started to snow and the sun was coming down. I tossed the pearl as far as I could, and it flew away to the point it was a dot in the sky. Suddenly, I had the feeling of falling again. Blackness surrounded me. Color suddenly rushed back, and I threw up whatever I had for breakfast in the real world. I looked around, and I was on the top of a tall pine tree. I heard hysterical laughter from a distance. "That was not funny! I just threw up everywhere." I looked down from the tree, and there was a large gash in the ground.
I yelled over to Sara, telling her what I saw. "Woah! Based on what you said, there's a ravine over there. I'm coming over. Is it really deep? You can tell if there is lava in it." I saw a little pool of a glowing red substance, and I told her yes. "Great! We may find some diamonds." I didn't know there were diamonds. I hope I can get some of those things. I slowly climbed down the tree, and Sara gave me an iron pick and an iron sword. I nodded thanks. "Wow, this is huge. . . " Sara mumbled. "We'll have to dig down along the side; if we fall we could die. I have no idea how respawning works in our case." She went first; she leaned over a bit and started to dig under her feet. I just started to dig along side her, guessing my path would be safe as well.
I was getting the hang of digging, so I went a little further than she did. I was halfway there, and then suddenly no stone was under my feet. I screamed and was thrashing around in the open air. I tried to get purchase on the side of the cliff, but it's no use. I slam to the hard stone and heard my bones crack many times, one leg twisting all the way around, and the other bending forward so my toes could touch my waist. I let out a scream, and a dark creature popped out of nowhere, and dropped a piece of meat on the stone, and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke. A little note was left, saying 'Breaking your legs is no excuse to discontinue your adventure in this world.'
I hope you loved it! I'm very sorry about the DeviantArt page, it will take awhile to put it up, but if you want to submit photos, name them 'The Cult of the Eye of Ender Pic' and add the name of the character. Thanks, and enjoy the rest of The Cult of the Eye of Ender!
