"Hello… brother."

The voice rang through my head. I took a step back. I knew this guy was bad news.

"I see you are skeptical…" Eerste started. "I have come to retrieve you."

"What!?" Petra exclaimed, which answered my question if she and Lukas could hear him or if it was just an Ender thing.

"Uhhh… Heyyyy… 'dad'!" Crest put on an awkward smile.

Eerste turned to him. "Crest. My son. You grew up in that sorcerer village, correct?"

Crest looked incredibly uncomfortable. "...Yeah?"

Eerste closed his eyes for a moment. "Good. Now, Jesse, you and your company are required to come with me."

I let out a growl. I didn't ask him to take me to Notch-knows-where, especially after he tried to abduct Lukas!

"You have no choice. The Son of the End must be used to awaken our god."

Okay. For one, whoever called me 'son of the End' next I would attack. Two, what did he mean by 'awaken their god'!? Did he mean Einde!?

"I must do something first."

Nothing happened for a second, but he suddenly looked at me with an icy glare. I dropped to the ground with a massive migraine. I didn't even have time to make any sort of sound before I blacked out.

I woke up later with my vision blurred and my head pounding. I was curled up into a ball, which I probably did while unconscious. I had the tendency to move around in my sleep. I looked up to see the same purple blocks that were in that giant tower. I sat up, still nauseous from whatever that Eerste guy did to me. I looked around to see I was in a cell. The door was non-existant, and the only thing that even showed something beyond the walls was a wall of two-block-high blocks at top of one of the walls. Great.

"So… you`re awake?"

I turned to see an Enderman. It was… a female? She had bat-like wings just like Eerste, but a feathered tail. Just like every other Enderman here, she had bright green eyes. And she looked a lot taller than me.

"Are you going to introduce yourself?" she asked telepathically.

I stared at her. Who was she, why was she here, and why did she think I could talk!?

"I can't help you unless you tell me who you are."

I thought for a second. How do you "send" things via mind?

"Jesse." I tried.

She crossed her arms. "Were you born yesterday? That was really weak."

That annoyed me.

"Well, why don't you tell me why I'm here and who you are!?" I demanded, trying harder.

"Not so loud, short stuff." she snapped. "I don't know why you`re here, so I was thinking you knew. Now tell me exactly who you are."

"My name is Jesse. I`m apparently the son of Einde."

Her eyes widened.

"Einde!? The Creator?"

"I guess. Who are you!?"

"I am Mitera. You may know me as the Mother of all."

"Well, I`ve never heard of you."

She narrowed her eyes. I just then realized I could have signed my death sentence, but she asked,

"Where have you been this whole time if you've never heard of me?"

I breathed in, though I was talking with my mind and it was pointless. Still, it made me feel better.

"I wasn`t like this-" I motioned for her to looks at my body. "Before. I...I was a human."

"Oh yes, and I`m a zombie."

"Wait- I'm being serious! Why am I even telling all this to you!?"

That was a pretty good question if I said so myself. Why was I explaining this to a stranger, let alone a gigantic Enderman? Enderwoman?

"So… You`re Jesse, the son of The Creator, and a Human."

Then her eyes widened.

"Wait… You're… the One? Y-you'll be the one to defeat Einde!"

I looked away for a second. I`ve heard that a million times already.

"Yeah… Uhh… since you don`t seem to want to kill me, do you know where my friends are?"

"The three humans?" she asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "Two and a half humans."

"How can a human be a half?"

"Nevermind."

"Well, whatever."

She grabbed my arm and teleported. Just like using Ender Pearls, it was disorienting and made me dizzy one we landed outside of the cell in a hallway. How did Endermen do that all the time!? She then started walking, her tail dragging behind her.

"Come on," she said, motioning me to follow. "I`ll show you your friends, then see if I can talk Eerste into letting you stay with them if you wish."
