Destruction Among Us
Chapter Eleven
"Wait, what?" Sky looked upwards and a figure with black wings flew above them. He was floating there, glaring at them. As the figure descended lower, Sky began to see that it was a man with red eyes.
"No one knows of his true name." the man's voice echoed throughout the place. "How did you?"
Ssundee took a step forward and gulped. "My sister told me his name."
"You are not her brother."
"Yes I am!" Ssundee protested loudly. "Faye told us in a letter about this place, how to find it, and what to do in it! She wanted us to ask for Deadlox's help!"
"Then where is she?" another figure, glowing purple, floated downwards next to the other. "Where is Princess Faye?"
"Princess?" Jerome whispered to Mitch, utterly confused. He didn't think that Faye had any relation to the End.
"Ms. Faye was killed by Herobrine in a battle five weeks ago," Jason informed the man. "She sent us to find her letter with instructions to get help from Deadlox in the End. Do you know where we can find him?"
"I am him." The red eyed man said, falling to the ground in a squat before standing up straight to confront the group. Noah hid behind Sparklez, staring at Deadlox.
"Deadlox, quit it with the voice, you're scaring the kid," the other came down softly next to his friend, the purple coming from him dissipating. Deadlox sighed before clearing his throat.
"Why did Faye send you here?"
"She told us that you're the only one that can defeat Herobrine," Sparklez spoke up from the back.
Deadlox eyed Sparklez and Noah warily, beginning to walk closer to the two. "Why do I sense inhuman abilities on you?" Deadlox looked from Sparklez to Noah, his eyes widening in anger. 'You are Herobrine's children!" Turning back to Ssundee he yelled, "You dare bring Underworldly beings into my dimension!?"
Ssundee was quiet for a few moments. He didn't have an answer for the powerful being. Just as he was about to mumble out an excuse, Noah spoke up. "Why do you matter to Mama Faye? If you can't help then we'll leave. I want to get that monster dead for Mama Faye." Ssundee turned around to see Noah crossing his arms defiantly, glaring at the End being.
"Why do you call her mama Faye?" Seto asked from the front, ignoring the stare down from Deadlox on the seven year old.
"She's my Mama Faye. And if you don't want to help, then let us leave." Deadlox glared at him, huffing slightly, also crossing his arms.
"You said Faye is dead?" Deadlox turned to Jason, watching him nod. "Then I have no business with you all. Leave my dimension." He turned around quickly, his wings unraveling from their position on his back, showing their full 15 foot glory. He began to fly upwards, disappearing in midair.
"I suppose I'll send you back now." Seto said, chanting words quietly, collecting power in his palms.
"Wait!" Ant shouted, stopping Seto's power collecting. "We can't go back without you guys! Ms. Faye wanted us to get your help; she said that Deadlox's power was the only one that could stop Herobrine!"
Seto shook his head. "If Prince Deadlox does not wish to help you, then I have no say in it."
"Great, we came all this way for nothing." Ssundee exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air. "How am I supposed to visit Faye, saying I failed her last wish?" Ssundee's voice was down-trodden. He couldn't go to his sister's grave, saying he failed—that'd make her freak up in Heaven.
"It's alright Ssundee; we'll just figure something else out. I'm sure that is Noah and Sparklez train hard enough, they can defeat Herobrine," Sky patted his friend on the back, trying to cheer him up.
"Wait, did you say your name was Ssundee?" The group looked at the brown haired man questioningly. Ssundee nodded once in affirmation. "So you really are Princess Faye's younger brother then."
"Yeah, she's always been my big sis, sometimes my mom," Ssundee confirmed, smiling slightly.
"She's been there for all of us and we were hoping to finish her last wish—to defeat Herobrine," Ant paused, thinking of the right phrase. "It's the least we can do after Herobrine brutally murdered her."
"Princess Faye changed Prince Deadlox for the better. He used to be cold and cruel, and then she came along, taming the Enderdragon and intriguing Deadlox. She visited often, until five years ago. She suddenly stopped her visits and it upset Prince Deadlox greatly," Seto explained. "He hasn't been the same ever since."
"She had stopped visiting because our village was attacked and she was captured by Herobrine's minions," Sky informed. He knew exactly what was going on. If they kept going in this direction, the Sorcerer would be on their side eventually and agree to try and get Deadlox's help.
"That Underworld creature took Princess Faye?" Sky nodded along with Ssundee and Husky. "That—"
"Will you help us take him down?" Sparklez spoke up finally. Seto looked at him suspiciously.
"Why do you two wish to destroy your father?"
"He's not our father," Noah and Sparklez said together, "he's our enemy." Seto eyed them before sighing slightly, finally accepting the situation.
"I suppose that it's what Princess Faye wished for—then I should grant it. I will try my best to gain Prince Deadlox's consent." Seto began to glow purple once more, beginning to float upwards.
"Hang on!" Ssundee called after him. Seto looked down at him in question. "Why is Faye so important to Deadlox?"
Seto smiled softly, floating up as he said, "They were married together almost seven years ago."
