What. The. Heck. Crow. What was up with the lazy spell you casted on me?!
Crow: *shrugs and grins*
Me: Ugh whatever. But I'm SO sorry I took forever. School, writer's block, laziness, and Crow just don't want me finishing this chapter sooner. I'm really sorry, but thank you to all my reviewers and enjoy the story!
I heard multiple gasps of shock behind me. I myself stared in awe at the cold beauty of the End of Luin. As usual, there were Void stars glistening like sun hitting dew. The Void itself loomed over the End, casting a dark shadow. However, the landscape itself was different. The land dipped and rose with valleys and hills, just like the Jungle of Luin. The Endstone was tinted with a light shade of green. The most eye-catching at the moment was the trees.
"Those are some pretty exotic trees," Paul commented, pointing at the nearest tree. Or was it a tree? The "trees" towered high into the ink-black sky, its branches reaching up and out. The leaves consisted of the green Endstone, so they weren't actually leaves. The trunk was made of obsidian, but instead of having the normal rough texture, it had smooth, lined texture of jungle wood. On top of every tree was a glowing purple crystal surrounded by an ever-moving ring. It hovered over a blazing purple fire. I frowned.
"That can't be right," I muttered to myself. There were several crystals that were gray. Everything was grey, especially the grey Endermen tending the crystals. Cain made a growl deep in his throat.
"Those are either the brainwashed Endermen, or the filthy traitors who wanted great power," he spat.
"We have to destroy anything grey in the End, right?" I asked. Cain nodded. I automatically drew my bow and notched an arrow, drawing the string until it was taut. I felt invisible hands steady my aim and my vision grew sharper. I released the string and the arrow flew, flying closer and closer to the target, and to my disappointment, the grey Enderman teleported away. The arrow buried itself harmlessly into the tree, catching fire as it struck the tree.
"Stupid teleporting," I grumbled to myself. Unfortunantly, Cain heard me and turned to glare at me. I quickly muttered an apology and restrung my bow. This time, I aimed at the colorless crystal and felt the invisible force correct my posture, not as much as last time. I grinned to myself, knowing that meant my bow skills were getting better.
"Here we go," I whispered, and let go of the string. The arrow soared through the air and, to my delight, the arrow sliced right through the crystal, creating a massive explosion. I watched in half amusement and half horror as the grey Endermen were thrown off the tree/pillar, some instantly dying from the explosion while others crashed into the ground.
"This is disgusting," Castro commented, wincing at the cries of agony coming from the slender creatures. All was silent as the monsters faded into ashes. Dull greyish-greenish orbs floated around, unlike the normal lustrous gleam of a dark green Ender Pearls.
"Let's get this over with!" Paul shouted, leaping up the staircase, quickly trying a bandana around his face. I heard Angle groan in frustration and I quietly chuckled. He would have to get used to Paul's odd behavior. I heard the rustle of wings as Angle hurled himself into the air, unsheathing his scythes from his belt. I turned toward Thalia.
"What are you going to use to fight?" I asked, interested on what her weapon was, remembering that she only had a stone sword when she died. She giggled and revealed a set of throwing knives hanging on her belt. She looked very much like an eleven year old assassin.
"Where did you get those?" I asked while Dark calmly pulled out his obsidian sword to prepare for battle. We held eye-contact for a moment before he sprung forward to help aid Angle.
"I got them from Luin himself," she said proudly. I thoughtfully stared at the Endermen and back to the knives.
"I thought Endermen can dodge projectiles," I stated. I watched as Thalia's smile faded.
"Aw," she said sadly, dropping her head a little. I frowned in thought, trying to think of a way we could hit the Endermen from afar. Suddenly a thought came to me.
"I think there is a spell in which you can hit Endermen with projectiles with a spell and Enderpearls," I said in mid-thought, "we already have Enderpearls, I just have to remember the spell."
I watched, distracted as Castro ran at an Enderman, chucking a sickly green potion at the stone-colored monster. Somehow the liquid came in contact and the mob curled up screeching Before dissolving into nothing. Castro must have put something powerful in his options because normally potions didn't have that huge effect.
"I think I've got it!" I announced suddenly. Thalia jumped up startled and automatically threw a knife at an incoming Enderman.
"proiectum et margarita Ender, merge simul, percutere vera in monstra Finis, sequi Endermen donec vos ledo domum, nunquam permitte suis teleportation, fuge a vestris punctum!" I chanted, the words flowed smoothly over my tongue. I chucked the now shining Enderpearl at Thalia's knife. The pearl melted into the iron blade and the whole knife glowed a shade of grayish-green. The Enderman teleported, but the knife somehow changed directions and dug into the surprised Enderman's brain, where Thalia had originally intended to throw. It howled before fading away into ash.
"That's so cool!" Thalia exclaimed, jumping out to retrieve her knife. She held my quiver of arrows and Thalia's knives and repeated the spell. Then I quickly handed Thalia her knives and shot an arrow at an Enderman that Thad tried to sneak up on us. It tried to teleport, out the arrow struck home first. It made a bloodcurdling scream Bedfodis dissolving.
"Ugh, I don't like killing these Endermen," I said sadly, "They don't deserve to be brainwashed soldiers. Dark, who was nearby, nodded in agreement.
"But we have to do this," he replied. I sighed and shot down another Enderman.
"Yep."
I gazed around the End. The Endermen had not been prepared for our attack and fell under our onslaught without too much of a looking good when there was a blood-chilling roar.
WHO DARES TO INVADE MY DOMAIN.
"What the he-" Paul started to exclaim, but a mighty gust of wind blew him over. I quickly ran over and caught him before he could roll away from sight.
"Regroup!" I commanded as another roar resonated through the air. Everyone managed to come over to me and the pillar I was standing next to and pressed their backs against it. Right then there was an explosion of dark purple fire. Thalia screamed in terror and clung to the nearest person, who was Castro. Castro winced at her vice-like grip, but turned back to face the threat. A massive shadowed figure burst through the fire and roared in maddened rage.
I mustered all my courage and shouted.
"Who are you?" My voice rang loudly in the ominously silent terrain. I already knew who it was, but I wanted to confirm it.
Sure enough, the figure replied.
I am Queen Guinevere, ruler of the End of Luin and the Enderdragon.
*cue dramatic music* THE ENDERDRAGON IS HERE! Everyone is screwed!
Me: Crow! Stop randomly appearing!
Crow: Sorry, I just felt like saying that
Me: Well now you had your chance so be quiet. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. I know, this was originally intended to be Purple and her little group also freeing tone Enderdragon, but a thousand words is enough for one chapter. Please review, follow, and fav! Thanks for reading and I hope to bring out the next chapter soon!
