Creeps ached all over. Each movement his body made felt like an eternity.

Henk checked over him, the guy wasn't much of a medic he only really managed to supply food and poke him to determine whether or not he had broken bones all he managed to prove was that the Creeper was bruised all over. Eventually he slouched down on some wool adjacent to the fireplace his body throbbing and numb.
"So what did you find when you found me? You havn't said where Lanky is" He queried the skeleton

"Weeellll When I found ya' you were trapped by a rock! Reckon it had hit yer in the face or somethin'" he scratched at his chin "Darn lucky too! Looks like some lightnin' struck teh area"

"Yeess" Creeps murmured holding back a whine from a pounding headache "I remember... she cast it..." Henk looked at him confused "No doesn't matter now" he whined as his body groaned it was eager to lie down, rest and sleep the pain away but Creeps had more important things to ask "Lanky? Wh-where is he?"
"Yer' friend with big long scarf? Nah he'd left'"
"WHAT! He wouldn't have left me behind! I-i'm his friend" He whined rather pathetically
"Well I don' think he had a choice" Henk soothed him
"Wh-what?"
"Well there was some guy who was awake there. Kinda old he had a burn on his face ring any bells?"
"Uhh No"
"Well I guess he coulda been burnt by whatever teh blast was... He was muttering about some demon takin' his kid and 'the other one' he then muttered 'bout goin' on a hunt with his tribe. He was downright rude when he noticed I was takin' you away thought better of it than arguin' back"
"Oh Notch... S-she kidnapped him?" he moaned
"Uh, Is this the same 'she' you fellas were lookin' for?"
"Yeah but she's s a ... a ... a a monster now!"
"Monster!"

A snowy biome passed under way and pine tree's rolled past yet something didn't feel right. Like a nagging feeling that quickly turned into a horrible feeling of a looming shadow spreading fear. A bizarre echo of horror it hit right before a nasty smell wafted their way.
"Do you smell that, Gunvor?" one turned to the other.
"Yeah..." he murmured.
"It smells like... like death." She muttered with a nasty lump in her throat "It smells like death, and... burning, and... I don't know what else" Despite the lump curiosity took hold as something drawed her to it "Lets go down there and find out..."
"Only because its your duty to protect the best you can." Her friend reassured her almost sensing her nerves.
"Of course" She nodded.
The began a gentle glide down into the forest, landing lightly on the ground and began searching around trying to follow the stench. Slowly the came to the verge of a clearing they met it with horrified gasps, Gunvor creaked a mechanical hand to his mouth and gagged for a Creeper he appeared normal by himself. His skin was the natural shade of leafy green and his eyes seemed hollow if it wern't for the red pinprick of a pupil, Gunvor however was one of the few Redstone mechanics he had made fine work of it too. Around his middle he had a total of three devices packed one leather strap led to twin iron panels on his back, each lined with Redstone it gave a rudimentary form of air travel not too good but it worked not for long though and he had to drop them.
"Ussselesss" he hissed.
The more successful device had it's own strap they were his mechanical arms, he called them 'Creeper-grips' and they had saddle bags tagged onto them. Having the mechanical hands allowed the Creeper extra movement and dexterity or in this case helping to hold back his last meal. Tiamat didn't seem to be doing much better as her silvery legs shook she was drastically different than the other Spiders her silvery body bore natural wings and above her yellow eyes her exoskeleton had a pattern resembling a gold ring.

"OH GOD EW! WHAT THE HELL!" she yelped gagging, looking around at the scene before her.
There were dead endermen all over. It was a mess, endermen had been ripped to shreds, blood was everywhere, some scorches from what may have been lightning darkened the centre of the clearing. Judging by the amount of bodies left about it was clear a Clan had been here.
"EW! Thisss is so nasty! I wonder what happened here though..." Gunvor hissed his lisp quite pronounced.
"Maybe they had an internal fight?" Tiamat pondered
"Those look like lightning scorch marksss... like a massive explosion, but most if not all of the dead endermen have obviously been torn apart by clawsss, not killed by lightning." he pointed metal fingers about
"Hmm..." Tiamat nodded, Endermen did have claws but these seemed different, very odd.
"Endermen wouldn't usually kill a mass number of themselvesss within their own clan though, maybe one or two, but defenitely not thisss many... so how would it be this bad?"
"... unless another enderman either turned on their own clan, or was from somewhere else all together, but that wouldn't explain the scorch marks, because those look as fresh as the bodies here... maybe a few hours ago?"
"Possible... hey look at thisss, I found footprints."
Scuttling over to Gunvor, he did in fact find footprints, they looked like boots. Something a humanoid such as a zombie, human, or skeleton might wear.
"Lets follow them then? I can see a desert a ways away"
"Alright then, letsss go already! You ssshould take to the ssskiesss and ssee if you can ssspy anything elssse" with a nod Tiamat vibrated her wings, lifting off slowly and with a little jitter from where she stood.
Tiamat made sure to glide close to Gunvor but kept herself above the trees. Her flying was not so smooth and she wobbled a little but the view was much better from up here.
"Isss that a house?" Gunvor called up to her, he must've seen it while she was momentarily distracted by the view.
"I'm pretty sure it is. I think I see a skeleton and a creeper down there too, just through the window!"
"Another creeper? Yesss! Must go meet!" Gunvor grinned enjoying the thought of meeting another of his own. Tiamat curved her flight down into a arc she glided towards the house and it's occupant's became much easier to see across this sea of sand.

Lanky wheezed.
He moved but his body resisted, he wondered if he slept on his arms again and he'd just gone numb again.
"HUURK!" he screeched as his body as pulled upwards by the neck and he was dropped down onto stone, a cold chill clearly identified the area as a cave. Looking round he sat still waiting for the swirling images to connect themselves and make some sense, it was dim and lit only by a single furnace, the end of the small tunnel was blocked off by collapsed dirt. Shadows stretched over the wall spinning round he found the least favourable option facing him, whatever had become of Nyssa was looming over him sending his stomach in fearful somersaults she examined him from top to bottom her mouth dropped open and she croaked again went silent and paused

"YOU" she hissed causing Lanky to squeak "YOU HELP! ... help me... HELP... please" it was like two sentences merged into one. Lanky glanced down at her claws they had ripped through one of his own so easily he had little choice to do as she wished or become some kind of Ender-sushi!
"I, urm, yes I-I-I, Uh, I-i-i" he managed to whisper, it was enough for her and she wrapped one large hand around his chest and hauled him to his feet
"IRON NEED FIND NOW!" she barked, Lanky was promptly dropped on the floor "H-help meee... FIND IRON... help... NOW... consumed... I SAID NOW! ...me" Quickly he was picked up again and thrown to the mouth of the cave where it ebbed out into a cave system with tunnels spreading out in different directions. "DON'T LEAVE... me here... YOU LEAVE I KILL YOU WILL FIND AND KILL NOW... help me... please... DO ME HELP!"
