A/N: Hello guys! I am back with a new chapter of Fallen Skies! Sorry for the late update again, but I have been very lazy lately. And I simply don't have the motivation to write these days. It is a dialogue chapter again, and there is not a lot of fighting scenes in this chapter. But I think it is essential as it (sort of) tie up lose ends. And don't forget the 2F1R(Follow, favorite and review)!

Trinity sat on the couch, shifting uncomfortably. After she woke up, she had exchanged her blood-drenched robe for a cyan blue t-shirt, but it was very uncomfortable for a Valkyrie, and Trinity had to fold her only wing into the cramped t-shirt, which only added to the discomfort, but that's all Steve had in his wardrobe.

'That's all I had in my closet, sorry.' Steve had sheepishly apologized. He was talking to the cloaked man sitting on the couch opposite to him on some matters. Beside Trinity was Abdiel, who was busily scrubbing the blood off his cracked chestplate. Suddenly, Steve stood up and said.

'Alright, it is getting really late now. And I believe we should grab some sleep after what we had gone through in the mineshaft.' Then he went over and doused the flame in the fireplace, then everyone went upstairs except Steve, who volunteered to sleep in the couch. Steve had also cleared out a storage room in the second floor and put a bed inside, making a small room for the man, while giving his own room to Trinity. After Steve had put out the flame, he had stayed up, sitting on the couch and thinking.

This is very hard to believe. A cloned god in my house? How come? Steve closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he was speaking with the cloaked man.

Steve instinctively moved away from the man

'What? You are a god? That's..'

'Impossible. I know. But I tell you, I am not Notch himself, although I have his name, I am only his clone, or put it more plainly, his replica. So although I have inherited a mild fraction of his power, but I cannot use it too often or else I would grow very weak, or even lose consciousness. Just like in the mineshaft, where I had fainted after using too much power.' The man who identified himself as Notch said.

'So show proof.' Steve had said bluntly. It is true. He always needed proof before trusting anybody.

Notch simply clasped his hands together and inside his hand was a diamond. Steve eyes widened and he started to stammer.

'We..Well, you may have sho..shoved that into your cloak.' But even as he said that, Steve felt he confidence crumbling and ebbing away.

Then Notch said.' Pick a number in your head.'

After Steve picked a number in his head, Notch immediately said.

'0.'

Steve's mouth hung wide. How could he have known?

' You were just lucky. Try aga..' Before Steve could finish his sentence, Notch calmly said.

'∞. You do think of numbers which are very strange, indeed.' He chuckled silently.

What? He had predicted my number again? Steve thought, wide eyed.

'Come on Steven. Just trust me. After what you have seen, isn't that enough?'

'Okay. One final test. What had I put in that Ender chest over there?' Steve said as he pointed to a chest lying in the far wall.

'It seemed to me that you have a rare affection for coco beans. Are you a coffee addict? Because the large chest next to it is filled with glass bottles.' Notch added with a laugh.

Steve was awestruck. He just sat there and stared unbelievingly at Notch. It was after a while before Steve spoke again.

' So okay... I will trust you for now... So why did you come to the Overworld at the first place? Gods don't go to the Overworld very often...'

'Well, actually, Notch, and here I mean the real one, sometimes goes to the Overworld in disguise, but that's not relevant now.' Notch paused, then said.' But it is late now. And I believe you would need some time to digest all this information. Well, I would tell you more tomorrow.' Notch said as he stood up and strode to the storage room which now served as his room.

Steve realized he had zoned out. He sighed and went over to his Ender chest to grab some coco beans to make coffee, he really need to focus on sorting this mess. But then he stopped and shook his head, as if a drink was the least he wanted. He returned to the couch, stiff with the dried blood, and lay down. Maybe a good nights sleep could sort out his dilemma.

Meanwhile, Abdiel rolled in his bed, unable to sleep. Despite his fatigue, there was something nagging in the back of back of his mind which he could not discern. He slowly got up and after putting on a leather jacket, he walked out of the room without a sound. All was silent in the house except for the faint crackling in the torches on the wall which illuminated the house restlessly and the mobs which roamed the night. His hands brushed over the bookshelves and felt the wood on it. He sighed. Maybe some fresh air and a book could sooth my mind now. Abdiel thought as he picked a random book he bought before and went out to the balcony.

When he entered the balcony, he never thought that Trinity would be there, watching the landscape around the house. She had cut a hole in the back of the cyan blue t-shirt for her wing to extend through. She stood, leaning against the railing for support. She turned and met Abdiel's eyes.

'Abdiel.' She said, and met him with steady eyes.

'Trinity... I had never thought I would met you again, after I fell from the Aether.'

She looked at the sky, her long hair flowing with the wind.

'Well... I never thought we would meet under these circumstances too.' She said. 'After so much has happened.'

Abdiel walked over to her side and looked out to the dark skies.

'Why do we have to fall, Notch?' The Valkyrie asked, with a hint of bitterness in her voice.' I should be up there, fighting the Dragon and protecting the Aether!'

'What? What Dragon?'

' The Wither Dragon, Abdiel. The Dragon now roams the skies of the Aether, destroying everything it touches and killing everything which it meets.'

That was news to Abdiel. He never knew there was a Dragon in the Aether.

Trinity spoke again, with a trembling voice.' In fact, it was that cursed Dragon which caused me to lose my wings. Now I could never fly, or even hover.' The Valkyrie broke down and kneeled after she said the last syllable. Her tears splashed the wooden floor and soaking it into a darker hue. The clouds which obscured the night finally rained and soaked the balcony.

Abdiel silently cooed to Trinity as he lead her back into the house to avoid the rain. Finally, Trinity calmed down and they stood at the dark hallway. Then Trinity said in a shaking voice.

'Abdiel, can I ask you a question?'

Abdiel smiled as he is happy to see his friend return to normal. Trinity was a curious Valkyrie, always asking questions whenever possible.

'All right.'

'Abdiel, how did you came to the Overworld?'

Abdiel immediately halted. He really didn't wanted to talk about that matter. But Trinity was, after all, his best friend. So he replied, almost mechanically.

'I fell when a block dislodged at the edge of the city.'

'I see. I am sorry.'

Abdiel simply shrugged and led Trinity back to her room after bidding her good night.

After Abdiel lead the Valkyrie back to his room, he realized that he had forgotten to bring the book back into the house and it might be soaked now. He sighed. Whatever. Abdiel thought as he went back into his room. The rain pattered the roof like a symphony and within a minute, Abdiel was fast asleep.

A/N: All right! That's it! I will try to get more chapters out at a faster rate! Be sure to look out for Fallen Skies Chapter 11!
