Holy butts, we're halfway to 6,000 views. What in the actually heck. Stop spoiling me ;) It was nice seeing your opinions on bones.
I jerked upright. "Where am I?" I mumbled. My vision was blurry, so I blinked my eyes a couple of times and propped myself upright. "What the..."
Bones, Endermen and squid heads, and other random things scattered across the floor. Next to me were a stack of Ender eyes, and a golden helmet lay amongst the largest pile of bones. I saw the sun rising in the East, and the few zombies and skeletons began to burn up. What happened last night? I stood up and looked around. Through the trees was a cliff... Wait a minute.
"Adam? Adam!" I shook him awake. "Wake up!"
He groaned and rolled over. "Go away, I'm trying to sleep."
"Adam, what happened last night?" I asked urgently. He groaned. I sighed and looked around. "I have budder for you!"
There was no response. He didn't seem to be as obsessed with budder as I thought. "Um... I have sushi?"
He bolted upright. "What! Where?"
I smiled at my success. "Adam, what happened last night?"
"I fell off a cliff and squids were flying..." He said groggily, but quickly looked at his hands. "Wait, I'm alive?"
"Yes, I remember the squids flying off a cliff." I said. "But what happened after that?"
"I killed some mobs?" He asked.
"And..."
His eyes lit up. "Did I kill that monster?"
I shrugged. "The last thing I remember was an explosion after you stabbed it."
His face slowly molded into a grin. "You don't even know how happy I am right now."
"Adam, our friend is getting tortured." I reminded him.
"My parody just came to life! Oh my god I touched a squid, but still. I really did all that?"
"Adam, focus!"
"This must be how Jordan felt." Adam remarked. "Granted, he knew as soon as he saw the prophecies it was happening."
That was it! "The prophecies!" I exclaimed. "Adam, you're a genius!"
"What?"
"Do you not remember the prophecies?" I paced as my jumbled thoughts slowly began to organize. "The pictures we saw in Prince's village."
"I obviously remember seeing them." He said. "I just don't remember what they depicted."
"A yellow and red figure hugging. A blue figure on a dragon. Many figures looking at blue and black figures. And a pink and a gold one jumping off a cliff." My eyes darted to the helmet a few feet away. "Of course! That's us! You're gold-"
"Budder." He corrected.
I rolled my eyes. "You're budder, and I'm pink! Since these depict events that already happened..." I quickly thought back to the paintings. "Prince and King must be yellow and red, that picture showing their reunion. Mike is blue, he was taken on a dragon. And if Mike's blue and I'm pink..."
I was the sacrifice. It was predicted. I could see the image in my mind, just like it was yesterday. What else could it be? Fate had pre-decided that I would service this beast. "Elle. Elle?"
"What?" I asked, focusing in the present.
"You were explaining about you being pink and Mike being blue." He said.
"Oh." I replied simply. "If we're in a picture that hasn't happened yet, I have to see him again, right?"
Adam shrugged. "I think we really need to find the others and get to the stronghold."
"But how?" I asked.
He thought for a moment, and smiled. "Well, I picked up quite a few enderpearls from Endermen when we were fighting. I don't know if this version of Minecraft has this plugin, but... Grab onto my waist."
"Excuse me?" I asked suspiciously. He rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to hopefully teleport us to the nearest pair." He explained. "You need to be touching me for it to work."
"Okay..." I said cautiously, my arms wrapping around his chest instead. "Let's go already."
"Fine, fine." He tossed the dark green orb into the air and I saw my vision swirl. It made my stomach feel like it had a rock in it, and the familiar nausea from the horse returned. I gripped him tighter as I felt my body floating, but it was all gone. My feet collided with the ground and I stumbled.
"Shut up already!" I heard a familiar voice yell. "I'm tired of you singing all the time."
"Cast the shadows out from sight, a final stand, a shouting cry-"
"Stop!"
"Oh, you don't like that? How about: I gaze off into the bound skyline, note block choirs-"
"Playing in the sunshine, I know!"
"Hey, Steve and Jordan." Adam interrupted. Their heads whipped around.
"Thank god! Make him shut up!" Steve begged.
I looked around. "Why are you guys walking through a swamp singing?"
Jordan shrugged. "Cause I can."
"We're supposed to be looking for Mike." I reminded them. "Come here, grab onto my hand."
They tried to object but I glared at them. They held on and Adam tossed an eye into the air. The familiar feelings returned, but I took a deep breath and tried not to throw up. Soon enough we tumbled onto a cobblestone floor.
"So, Mom was a good queen?"
"The best. She made all the really important decisions."
Aww. I felt bad interrupting. Oh well. "King! Prince! Any progress?"
"Nope." Prince said sadly, turning to face us.
"Were you just talking about your family the whole time?" Adam asked.
They looked guiltily at the floor. "Maybe."
I sighed in exasperation. "Are Adam and I the only ones who get stuff done? We need to find Mike!"
"Why are you so obsessed with finding him, anyways?" King asked.
"I'm sort of the reason we have this problem." I admitted. "But c'mon! Let's stop wasting time and find him! I have the Ender eyes." I quickly explained how he was in the End and everything that had happened.
"You jumped off a cliff on a squid? Impressive." Steve nodded his head in approval.
"No time for that! Let's go!" I urged. They sighed and grabbed on. "Alright, I have no idea what to expect, but let's do this." I shut my eyes this time to deal with the discomfort. When I opened them up, I frowned. It was completely dark, with a paler version of cobblestone as the blocks.
"We should probably create a plan." Jordan said. I ignored him and rushed to climb the stone. "Elle!"
I peered over the top and gasped. "Mike!" I cried. I tried to climb over the top and get to him but something caught my ankle.
A voice boomed behind me. "We've been expecting you, Elle Meadows."
Before you ask, I am aware of how cheesy having them conveniently teleport with an enderpearl is. Be honest, though: Do you really want to read an uneventful chapter about them searching for each other? I would hope not. In the reviews, tell me how you think the final battle will turn out! If I'm writing it... Not well.
