A Hero's Destiny

by Magestorrow

It started long ago, before Minecraft was shown to the public. It was called the Great War, and there was only one survior-Hero, god of light. Many millennia later he starts to lead the fight against the player invasion. He found his destined chosen. But he also found much more than that. He found out about the existence of other gods. Now, instead of just one war, there is two.

36. Chapter 36

A/N A/N Hello hello, wonderful readers! It is I, SoulErrorArwitch, and I come bearing another chapter of A Hero's Destiny! I admit that I don't have too much to say about this chapter. Information chappies bore me when I write them, and yet they're so crucial to stories…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The poll is still up. So please vote on it!

Disclaimer-I don't own Minecraft. Microsoft does. Same thing with Herobrine. I'm not sure who started the myth of Herobrine, but that guy is a genius!

Reviews are appreciated, along with questions for me and the characters! Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 36:
Strategy

Phoenix's PoV:

They had to figure out something! Even as they neared the base, the two were fighting over who got to control their body.

Every couple of seconds the way that they walked changed. Aleks had the faster gait, while Lex tended to slow down so he would remain near Phoenix. And both of them continued to have a shouting match out loud.

Glow groaned. "Would they just stop doing that already?!" She heard him complain to Stone. The younger brother gave a small nod. Still unsure of what to do, Phoenix found herself watching Glow's reaction change with each argument. He seemed to be getting angrier and angrier about their bickering.

"I've had enough!" The pigman suddenly exclaimed. "I can't stand it anymore!" He marched back to where Lex and Aleks were arguing and slapped them in the face.

They went silent and stared at him.

"This isn't the time for you two idiots to be arguing!" Glow yelled. "I don't care if both of you want control over that stupid body of yours! Someone has been kidnapped, and we're about to go and fight Télos! So shut the **** up, both of you!"

Zalio and Phoenix exchanged glances. Had Glow succeeded?

"…I'm…I'm sorry." Lex said quietly. Aleks stayed silent, most likely glowering at the pigman. "I should have…I should have thought of that…"

They sighed. "And it's not just the *******'s fault." Aleks admitted. He didn't offer a sorry or anything like that, but the two understood that they shouldn't have been arguing.

They were silent for the rest of the walk.

Hero's PoV:

I was seated at the library's table when I heard a knock on the door. Knowing that it was Zalio, I got to my feet and opened it for him and Oracle's group.

My chosen were already seated around the large round table. Stesa, I had noticed, reserved a seat for Zalio. When Quartz saw Phoenix peeking out from behind my sister, she pointed at the empty chair next to her.

Carlie watched my sister's group with amazement. Though we had explained who they were to the former cow, she had never seen mobs of the Nether, or known about another god. Oracle sat down next to me. The pigmen brothers and Aleks/Lex (or Lexal, as Carlie had taken to calling them) sat down as well.

"Is that all?" I questioned.

My twin shook her head. "No. I have a small army waiting outside, but I thought that it would be best to leave them there."

I nodded. The quiet chatter that had previously been filling the room died down as I cleared my throat. "I have a plan for rescuing Claire, but in order to make it final I need your input, Aleks."

The former wither skeleton stared at me for several seconds before speaking. "What the **** do you ******* want from me?"

"Have you seen the End in your dreams?" I asked.

"He has." Lex replied before the other soul could. "I've seen it in his memories."

"What is it like?"

The two were both silent as they thought. When one of them finally spoke, it was Aleks. "There's a ******* castle smack dab in the middle of it."

"Floating or not floating?" I continued on.

"Not floating." He paused. "The ******* has a throne in the center of the main room. The other rooms that ******* has let me ******* see are filled with weapons. Golden and obsidian ones."

"I see…Guard wise?" I leaned forward slightly, and awaited their response. "Where and how many of them are stationed?"

"In front of each room." From the lack of swears, I could tell that it was Lex who was speaking. "The dungeon is the most guarded area out of them. Wait, the main room doesn't have any guards."

"The ******* believes that he's strong enough to defend himself." We all knew that Télos didn't just believe that. He was powerful, more powerful than I remembered from before the Great War.

"There's a large training area out in the front. That's where Télos' army practices. And then, of course, there's the big towers. They may or may not have anything in them."

"Enderdragon?" I questioned. The challenge would become much greater if we had to defeat the dragon. Though I had never laid my eyes upon it, I knew how powerful it was.

"The enderdragon is one, gigantic ******* illusion." Aleks replied. "I've seen what the ******* uses to project it. In reality, it's just a small golden figurine."

Oracle and I exchanged glances. We both knew what figurine Aleks was talking about. The two us still fondly remembered the day when he had made it. It was when we were little, and he had come running up to us with that grin he was known for on his face, his eyes filled with a brightness and goodness that he no longer possessed. It was a sad reminder of how much had changed.

"Hero?" Zalio questioned. After he interrupted my thoughts, which I was very grateful for, I began the plan.

"Oracle, you and your army will storm the castle and take out any enderman inside." She gave a nod. The others around the table looked at me expectantly. "Phoenix, go with Oracle as well. The rest of you will fight the army Télos has stationed in the training area."

Carlie's brown eyes widened. "But there's only five of us!" She exclaimed.

"…Carlie." Quartz started. "We can use Hero's power. Same thing with Lexal. They can use Télos' power."
"I can?" "I can use that *******'s power?"

"What about you, brother?" My sister asked. "What will you do?"

"I am going to free Claire."

Question Time!

Raiden the OC: Hero, do you ever think that you and Herobrine could be different?

Hero: No, I do not. Notch gave me that nickname long ago, and though our friendship was broken,

I like to fondly remember those times.

Raiden the OC: Phoenix, Nether or Overworld? Which do you prefer?

Phoenix:...I'm sorry, Oracle, but the Overworld is most like Earth…

Oracle: It is alright, my chosen.

Raiden the OC: Zalio, ever done a piratey jig?

Zalio: *yawns* Um…No?

Soul: He has-I caught him doing one the other day.

Gwen: But didn't he lose a bet against Aria-

Soul: Shh, Gwen, and get back to your story.

The scribe of the 4th brother: Oracle, what are some of your favorite hobbies?

Soul: Does she even have hobbies…?

Oracle: Yes I do, SoulErrorArwitch. I like to draw.

Stone: T-The M-Mistress is r-really g-g-good.

Oracle: *smiles* Thank you, Stone.

Stone: *looks away and blushes* It's tr-true…

Dare Time!

Raiden the OC: Zalio, sing a pirate shanty.

Soul: I should have seen this one coming from miles away.

Zalio: *yawns* Agreed.

Soul: *looks at Zalio questioningly* You know what you want to sing?

Zalio: *nods* That one that those two have been singing ever since you wrote them out. *gestures

at two OCs for The Reborn King*

Soul: Could I join?

Zalio: *yawns, then nods* I'll tell you a tale of Vampirates,

Soul: *grins* A tale as old as true.

Zalio: Yea, I'll sing you a song of ancient ship,

Soul: And its mighty fearsome crew!

Zalio: Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,

Soul: That sails the oceans blue…

Together: That haunts the oceans blue!

Orpheus: I should have seen this coming.

Gwen: *nods*

Raiden the OC: Soul, offer Hero a fish.

Soul: *holds out a goldfish in a jar* Want a pet?

Hero: *takes it with a confused expression*…Raiden?

Soul: Yeah. I say we call it Random the OC after him.

Geist: Another new character? Who is this guy going to belong to?

Soul: Someone whose name can't be said for spoilery reasons. But Random the OC it is! *lifts jar

into the air, Legend of Zelda music plays*

Raiden the OC: Hero, sniff Zalio's shoe.

Soul: Raiden, you must learn something very important about daring characters.

Geist: *nods wisely* Exactly. We don't listen to what people tell us to-

Soul: *stares at Geist* What I was going to say was that characters are smarter than they appear.

Hero: For example, Raiden the OC, you never specified what shoe. Zalio has not worn this pair in a

long time, so they do not have a bad smell-*scrunches his face*

Soul: *sniffs shoe* Oh my freaking Notch! These things are so smelly!

The scribe of the 4th brother: Zalio and Stesa, I dare you to raid the base of DanTDM and place a

banner with Hero's face on it.

Soul: Alright you two, I've gotten intel from some very good sources-

Levi: By sources, Author means they interrogated a couple of squids.

Soul: Hey, it was Quartz who did the interrogating, not me!

Gwen: How did that even work…?

Soul: *coughs* As I was trying to say before a certain reincarnation of Herobrine interrupted me,

I learned that Dan is offline.

Orpheus: Didn't he break his hand-

Soul: Orphy, this isn't your story!

~Time Skip~

Zalio: *yawns* Doesn't this place seem familiar? I think this is where I met Hero, but I remember it from somewhere else.

Stesa: *raises bow* It does seem familiar…

Zalio: *ducks behind randomly placed table* Stesa, there's a villager over there. Librarian, I think.

Stesa: *copies Zalio* I feel as if I also know him…

Grim: *barks*

Zalio: *yawns* Ack! We've been discovered! Quick, Stesa, put down the banner and let's get out of

here!

Stesa: *puts down the banner, and rushes with Zalio out of there*

Soul: *back at the base* You know, readers, that it was originally suggested that they raid

IballisticSquid's base.

Raptor: But Soul thought it would be better for the two of them to raid Dan-

Soul: *turns to Raptor* What are you doing here? You don't even have a story on this website yet!

Raptor: *munches on bread* But Geist has been interrupting you, and he's not related to

Minecraft like I am!

Soul: That doesn't give you an excuse! Now go back to your spot in my mind place. *coughs* As

I was trying to say-

Aria: Soul also has never seen a video from IballisticSquid…I just thought of this. How does that

guy and Skydoesminecraft get along?

Soul: What is up with all of my characters freaking interrupting me?!
