Someone was shaking me, my eyes fluttered open and I saw Ty, who looked a little panicked. I sat up, seeing the same yellowish stone as before I had apparently passed out. "Where are we?" I asked, seeing that there was no apperent way out of the yellow stone room we were trapped in, the endermen had probably teleported us in here. "The End, I think" was all my brother said. That explained the yellow endstone around us and why I had blacked out. "But why?" I muttered to myself and all Ty did was shrug. I had no idea why we were here, unless the enderdragon was just as curious as the two gods, then we were screwed. "Why did they knock us out?" My brother asked, thinking I didn't know. I grinned, I could answer this. "They didn't, interdimensional travel by means of anything other than a portal, in our case the endermen, can do that to people. I overheard the scientists talking about it once" My brother looked curious for a moment, then turned away to ponder this new idea. I stared at him "Ty?" "What?" he asked, scowling. "Why are you in your hybrid form?" His violet eyes widened, and he twisted to look at his back, and sure enough, his wings and tail. "But… but I didn't try to transform…" He said, surprised. I thought for a moment, "It must be because we're in the End, all the energy from the crystals, dragon, maybe even the dimension itself must have this effect on you. If you noticed, our wounds are healed, and I feel much more powerful than usual" He nodded, taking it in. "Maybe, I feel the same way" We sat quietly for a few minutes, then the silence was broken by the sound of an enderman teleporting in. I looked it in the eyes, and to my surprise, it didn't get angry. Ty stood up, and then enderman, surprising me again, spoke "I am unsure of what to address you as, our queen has not yet told us. Her Royal Highness requests that you be brought to meet her" it's voice revealed it to be female. I exchanged a glance with my brother, then asked "Is your queen the enderdragon?" "Yes" she replied. I nodded to her, and the enderwoman teleported us to the surface of the End. I looked around at the endstone and the black void that was the sky. I suddenly got the impulse to fly, and I could tell that Ty did too. We both spread our wings and launched into the air, the enderwoman watching us. Hearing a roar, I turned to face the enderdragon flying towards us, my wings nearly faltering mid-flap. There are not many things that scare me, but putting my life on the hope that someone isn't an enemy is one of them. I only hoped that I looked braver than I felt. The enderdragon roared, and the endermen left this part of the End, obeying their queen's order. She looked at us, taking in our appearence. Ty and I hovered there, watching her in return. "I wished to meet you two" she said, her voice slightly strained. "Why?" my brother asked, unaware of her discomfort. "Because, you were not created normally, that's why Notch and Herobrine are hunting you down. I brought you here to keep you safe. My children" she said. Ty's jaw dropped, but I had been expecting it, my brother turned to me and asked "Because they created us from the egg…?" I nodded and spoke to the enderdragon "I assume you want to know what happened to it?" She looked slightly surprised that I had been thinking so far ahead, but nodded. I went on "It was destroyed, along with the machine they used to create us" She nodded again, then muttered "I expected as much. Still, there is you two, even if you are only half of what I am" I smiled, sure now that she wasn't an enemy, "You are technically our mother after all" Then she gave a formal introduction for herself "My name is Isalar, I am also known as the enderdragon or Queen of the End, you may call me Mother" Ty grinned, then did the same "My name is Ty, also known as Deadlox, used to be known as Lox" Then it was my turn, "I am Krystal, used to be known as Ender" Ty shuddered for some reason, "What is it?" I asked my brother. He shook his head, trying to clear it. "Enderlox wants to be announced too" Mother (That's what I'll be calling her from now on) looked curious, "Enderlox?" My brother nodded "He's the ender half of my personality" I flew up to Mother, whispering in her ear "Ty has a split personality, that's why the scientists tried to get rid of him" She looked surprised, then said "Follow me" I exchanged a glance with my brother, who seemed to have Enderlox under control by now. Mother led us to what looked like an obsidian castle, because that's what it was… "This is my home. I am sorry about where you were earlier, I did not know when you would wake. I did not want you to be wandering around in my castle without any idea where you were" Mother explained as we entered. My jaw dropped, the inside of the obsidian structure was decorated with an amazing assortment of blocks, probably the ones endermen stole from the Overworld. I ran my hand along the wall of the hallway as we walked, my fingers brushing against all sorts of materials, wood, emeralds, stone, and more. Mother smiled at out amazement "You like it?" I wordlessly nodded, still staring at the splendor before me. She stopped in another hallway, "You can stay in these rooms whenever you are here. The throne room where I live is right down there" she indicated the opposite direction of where we had come in. I mused over what she had said for a moment, "How do we get out of the End? Our friends were in a battle with Herobrine's forces when your endermen brought us here" She thought for a moment, "When you want to leave, I will show you to the End portal. As for your friends, they are mostly alright. As the endermen tell me, several are injured and one is dead" "Who!?" I immedietly asked, worrying for my friends. "Someone by the name of Heather" I instantly felt relieved then guilty for feeling like that, it wasn't anyone I knew, but death is terrible. My brother obviously knew more about her "She was one of the recruits, I didn't know her very well. She just joined a few months ago" Mother joined us in a moment of silence, then Ty and I entered the rooms and fell asleep in the beds, slightly comforted by the fact that we could do something so simple, so far from everything we knew.
