Chapter 25

Notch had met them at the portal exit as a worried mess, and the second Hero had stepped through the purple mist the god had wrapped him in his arms around him. The god fussed over the demi-god until he was finally pushed away. Though the god was momentarily assured that his brother was just fine and back to normal he insisted on staying for a few nights. With sigh, the warrior agreed and lead Steve, Ridan and Notch to the rarely used guest rooms.

Notch smiled when they reached the guest floor and opened one of the doors and bid them all good night. Steve then was lead to the room he would be staying in. The miner's mouth almost hit the floor when he looked at it. The room was large with bookshelves and emerald blocks in the floor and even had diamonds in the walls. It even had a balcony.

"This is for me?" Steve stared at the room unable to believe his eyes.

"Of course." Hero walked up next to Steve and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Your house and everything you worked for was destroyed while you were trying to help me, this is the least I could do." He looked around, this was the more luxury room in the house, next to his own room that is. "It is yours for as long you wish it to be." Steve opened his mouth to say something but Hero simply turned around and walked out the door. "I will leave you to get comfortable, come Ridan. I will show your room."

The slayer was excited after seeing the miner's room, he wonder what his would look like. The demi-god opened the door to the room and Ridan's face fell, the room was fairly big but by not as nice as Steve's room.

"How come Steve's gets the nice room, and I get this?"

"Because your house was not destroyed trying to help me." Hero hissed before turning to the slayer. "And are you suggesting that my guest rooms are of poor quality?" Ridan could only crower as both white eyes met his own eyes. "You get this or I throw you off of the thirtieth floor."

"I'll take this room." Ridan closed the door.

Morning soon came and the Slayer found himself being dragged from his room by groaning zombies. He was then bound and gagged before he fell into blackness again.

When Ridan woke, he found himself at his own house face down on the ground. Slowly he pushed himself up off the floor and looked around "How'd I get here?" Last he remembered he was at Hero's mansion.

"I brought you here." The slayer whipped around and saw a pair of white eyes staring at him from a dark corner of the house. "You are to inform whom ever asks that Steve and his brother are safe, and that because of the fire the miner will be staying at his brother's." The eyes glared at him "You are to tell no one of what you have see the past few days."

"I could have walked myself, you know." Ridan tried to put on a brave face.

"Yes, that it true, but I can not have you remembering the way to my house now can I?" The demon laughed darkly. "I would rid you of your memory but I have a feeling this battle is far from over."

"What do you mean?" The slayer yelled but the glowing white eyes had already faded into blackness. Leaving the blonde to wonder if something worse could be coming for them.
