Hello lovelies! I'm back again! Oh man, I was reading the reviews this morning and I just… I just love you all so much! Thank you for all the lovely reviews and support and all that. I wrote out a little tidbit a while ago and I want to add it in soon, so watch for it!

*Giant crack appears in the air and Professor Paradox walks out of it*

*Blinks in surprise for a second* Umm... Hi Professor. Anything going on?

Professor Paradox: Actually, yes. I require some assistance.

Alright, I'm coming. Be right back!

Anyways, onto the chappie!

Tyre nodded, reaching out and taking my hand. I looked over my shoulder one last time.

"Moon, Blazie, if I don't come back, explain to the boys what's going on," I stated, trying to sound nonchalant. I failed, and it only made the boys more confused and concerned.

Just at that moment, Tyre teleported.

We re-solidified in the Nether, at the gates of a foreboding castle. Lava cascaded from the battlements, and Wither skeletons, blazes, zombie pigmen, magma cubes and ghasts patrolled the area. The whole castle was mostly made of Nether brick and obsidian, and I could hear the low, distinct humming of a Nether portal somewhere nearby.

I let go of Tyre's hand and approached the castle, catching the attention of some blaze guards. I held up my hand, which had the symbol for friend in blaze language tattooed on the back. Blaze had given it to me when we had first won a Hunger Games together, and she had also given Moon one. The blaze guards settled and opened the gates for me, unveiling the courtyard.

Pigmen and magma cubes wandered everywhere, tending to little gardens of Nether wart or just talking to one another. It was a decidedly peaceful setting, if you took into play the owner of the castle. I strode up to the massive doors and held up my amulet to the lock. With a creak and an almighty groan, the doors slowly opened, and I slipped inside. I brushed my way past Wither skeletons and blazes, passing extravagant ballrooms and luxurious bedrooms on my way to the throne room.

I took a deep breath and drew up to the doors to the throne room, which were encrusted with diamond, obsidian and Nether quartz. I knocked tentatively, jumping back a step when they creaked open. I took one last deep breath and stepped inside, ready to face the god of the Nether… more or less.

Herobrine sat motionless on his throne, which sparkled with any and every precious ore you could think of. The stark white quartz pillars stood out against the dark Nether brick walls. I slowly approached the malevolent god, playing with my amulet absentmindedly. Thankfully, I still had my favorite jacket. The symbol for Aether in Draconic was emblazoned on the back, and I had gotten the jacket from an old friend. The temperature seemed to drop ten degrees for every step I took closer to the Nether god. When I finally stood before him, I forced myself to meet his eyes. He looked back at me for a while, then blinked and seemed to come alive.

"Thank you for coming, Starlyte," Herobrine said, the deep baritone many a Minecraftian had learned to fear echoing across the room. I winced slightly at the use of my full name, but nodded. I opened my mouth to speak, but he held up a hand.

"I summoned you because there is trouble brewing," he admitted. I blinked in surprise. Herobrine needed my help for some sort of trouble?

"Herobrine, what's this about?" I asked slowly. The god sighed, looking weary and old for a split second before regaining his composure.

"I hope you've heard of Enderlox?" he asked. I thought for a second, then my eyes widened.

"Enderlox? What, you mean Ty?" I demanded. Herobrine nodded. My brow furrowed in confusion.

"What does Ty have to do with anything?" I muttered.

"So, you have heard of Skybrine and WitherMU as well?" he continued. I shook my head, then I stopped.

"Wait a minute… Skybrine? Adam?" I hissed. Herobrine nodded again.

"Then WitherMU must be Jason... But what do they have to do with Ty and those odd names?" I asked, genuinely confused.

"Skybrine, Enderlox and WitherMU are the Halfling sons of the Enderdragon, the Wither, and myself." Herobrine explained.

"Wait a minute… Adam is your son?" I near yelled. The god winced, but nodded.

"Well okay… but why is this trouble? And what do I have to do about it?" I exclaimed.

"The three sons are becoming more and more powerful. On their eighteenth birthdays, they will morph into their true forms. We need you to help them keep their humanity," the Nether god said, like he was telling me to go get groceries.

"Keep their humanity? You mean they can lose it?" I whispered. I thought of Adam, Ty and Jason, the three happy-go-lucky boys that kicked tail, and that they could become super-powerful, emotionless immortals. My eyes hardened, and I nodded.

"I'll do whatever I can, but I have to warn you… I'm a dragon. I probably know less about humanity than an actual human," I admitted. Herobrine chuckled.

"You'd be surprised, little Starlyte," he murmured vaguely. I turned to leave, sensing I was dismissed.

"Wait!" Herobrine's voice commanded from behind me. I stopped and turned back around, only to quickly catch three objects.

"Keep one, and give the other two to your friends. They will help you on this quest." He instructed. I nodded, then turned and ran. It probably wasn't the most polite thing to do, but I needed to get home. And fast.

"Tyre!" I shouted as I burst out of the castle gates. He jumped in surprise, but quickly took my hand and teleported me back. I hugged in gratefully, then slipped inside.

"I'M BACK!" I shouted, cupping my hands around my mouth.

"IN THE LIVING ROOM!" was the reply. I jogged through the house and entered the living room to see everyone seated except for Blazie and moon, who immediately rushed over and hugged me. I relaxed, some of the tension from what Herobrine had told me melting away. I was with friends now. We would pull through this. I pulled away and handed the two of them each one of the objects that Herobrine had given me.

"I need your help, besties," I hissed. Blaze gave me a concerned look.

"What is it, Bestie?" she asked. Moon echoed the question, looking confused. I took a deep breath.

"Well…" I glanced over at the boys and sighed.

"Everyone sit down," I instructed. "I only want to explain this once."

Alright, a bit of a short chappie, and maybe a bit rushed, but it's supposed to be! The objects will be named in the next chappie, and the whole quest starts then, too! I know you were all waiting for an actual adventure to start, so there it is!

Anyways, Review!

Flames will be used to torture Star in the next chappie!

Oh, and remember: the night is yours, my friend, and the sun is setting!
