Here's the next chapter :3
Worked rush on it for ya guys since I left you on such a cliffhanger.
TheAmberShadow - The kids were supposed to follow them, but would you follow your parents into the void? Especially if you didn't know what was down there? The parents (*cuts self off cause spoilers but I mean you'll find out in this chapter anyways so...*)
She's doing good, mostly just hanging out with Endermen, flying around the world, and pestering Jesse at the absolute worst times. Thankfully he drilled it into her head that she musn't be seen by anyone who doesn't know about her, so mostly she just spies on him secretly.
Update Aquatic, we've got turtles, dolphins, drowned, fish, phantoms, shipwrecks, iceburgs, coral reefs, the oceans just got a heck a lot cooler.
Yeah not the smartest move on their part.
*Casually trips Harper so she falls into Ivors arms* well I mean it wasn't gonna happen on its own xP
Its the only other bird in the game xD
Phantoms are evil incarnate, if your player doesn't sleep, they'll swoop out of the night skies and generally make your life living nether until you go to sleep. The more nights you go awake, the more of them appear. They're drawn to insomnia.
We shall see~
I honestly wasn't intending for it to be, but now that I look at it again...yeah it kinda is
Raintag - Nope, no creepy whatsever.
IKR? I'm trying to figure out how to draw it, but I can't get the limbs right ;-;
*spams heart emojies*
Whoo! Caught someone off guard xD And honestly, how the heck would you expect a llama to lay spawn eggs?
Well, that's why this update is so quick :3
On to the fic! (quickly before Rainy kills me)
For a split-second, nobody moved. Nobody breathed. And then the Creeper hissed fiercely, already glowing white. Jesse, still under it, paled, and quickly reached for his inventory. As the white flashes began to speed up, Ivor finally snapping out of his stupor and starting to reach for a weapon, Jesse pulled a potion bottle out of his bag and threw it upwards. It smacked against the low ceiling, and the black liquid inside rained down on the creeper.
The Creeper instantly stopped flashing white, and instead began to flash red, hissing with each burst, until it finally exploded in a poof of smoke. Jesse however, had been hit by some of the liquid, though thankfully he'd only flashed red once, before gulping down a dark red potion and breathing out a sigh of relief.
But even as Ivor began to wonder just what Hadrien had been up to during this, he saw the white haired fiend standing behind the Founder, who was dangerously close to an exposed portion of wall. A horrible design plan, as it led straight into the void. Hadrien's hands moved backwards in such a smooth movement, that Ivor almost couldn't believe what was about to happen.
And then it did, and he was aware of the room moving behind him, of him moving, reaching forwards, and grabbing hold of the Founder's arms just before she fell off of the island. Hadrien spat out a curse, and likely moved to shove him off as well, but someone, Ivor couldn't see who, stopped him. They must have, for he let out a shriek of rage and started attacking whoever it was.
Ivor pulled the woman up, much to the protest of his screaming arm muscles. He was about to turn and see what was going on, to join the battle, to do something, when Harper screamed. Ivor turned, and the world seemed to freeze. Harper, arms and legs bleeding so much her skin seemed to be drenched in red, her sword flying from her hand...
as she fell through the hole in the wall.
Ivor saw red.
He wasn't sure how it happened. One minute he'd been flying at Hadrien, shrieking incoherently, and the next his face had met Hadrien's fist, and he was stumbling backwards. "IVOR!" he thought he heard someone shout, and then he was tripping over something, someone? He heard the sound of the Founder shrieking, as she, the thing he had tripped over, was dragged down with him.
And the two of them fell into the void.
Ivor wasn't sure when he blacked out, or how long they'd been falling when he woke up. He was met with the intense glare of the Founder, who began screaming at him the instant he was awake enough to hear her, or maybe she'd been screaming for longer. Her voice did sound a little hoarse. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Ivor winced. Alright, so maybe it was a little his fault, he had tripped over her, but did she really need to be so loud? The only other noise was the wind whistling up against their ears as they fell. "Thanks to you, now we get to see what really happens when you fall off the islands!"
Ivor decided to ignore her. "Do you see Harper? She fell off right before us."
"Oh, why yes." The Founder replied, voice quite literally dripping with sarcasm "The first thing I did after falling off the edge was look for your friend." Ivor shot her a glare, which seemed to fly right over her head as she continued "I don't know whether I want our deaths to be painless for my sake, or excruciating for yours!"
Ivor decided to keep looking downwards.
And that's when the entire world seemed to blur as they fell through a cloud, right before...
Ivor let out a strangled gasp, which the Founder didn't even hear, as she was still ranting on about how if he hadn't been such a greedy pig, then Hadrien would never have gone to Sky City to 'warn her'.
"Land!" Ivor finally managed to say, as he continued to stare at the massive lake that was growing closer to them by the second.
There was also lava pouring down from the sky into the middle of the lake, which would have been more terrifying if they weren't in complete and utter shock.
Ivor noticed three things when he landed into the water.
A coral reef at the bottom of the lake, blood in the water, and a pair of dolphins tossing around a dirt block.
Struggling upwards for air, Ivor heaved in gasps of precious air, and swam for land. Stumbling up the sand, Ivor decided there really was nothing like solid ground underneath you, and was about to lay down and just exist with nothing trying to kill him.
Then he saw the inventory bags. Frowning, Ivor started to make his way towards them, until he heard Harper's voice. "Holy Notch you're down here too?" Ivor's head snapped upwards, his midnight orbs meeting Harper's gray ones. Her left arm was clutching her right, and she wasn't putting any weight on her left ankle, but other than that she looked no worse for wear.
Aside from the fact that she was soaking wet. "Harper, you're alive!" he said, eyes lighting up. If she'd died falling down here...then Hadrien was going to wish that he'd died in the Witherstorm's belly. Harper nodded "Just barely, Hadrien's a lot tougher than I remember."
Ivor lowered his gaze "I'm sorry I didn't do more to help, I only had a few seconds there and then..." he cut himself off with a shudder, remembering the insane light in Hadrien's eyes as he'd kicked Ivor out of the city.
Harper rested a hand on his shoulder, and smiled at him "Its alright Ivor, there's nothing you could have done." she looked around a the world around them and whispered "You know, I still can't believe this is down here. Em's parents were right. There is something beyond the void after all." her eyes widened, and then furrowed suspiciously "But if they came down here, then why didn't they go back up? At least for their kids?"
"If T and Clutch are down here, then they have quite a bit of explaining to do." Ivor winced, and turned around to see the Founder, soaked to the bone, arms crossed slightly. But it was hard to view her as mad, when her expression was quite clearly shock. She heaved a sigh, and ran a hand through her hair "I forbade anyone from jumping off of the island, because I thought it was two dangerous. Those two, they were the only ones who believed that there was something down here." she let out a broken, sobbing laugh "And just look at this."
Ivor's eyes weren't on her any longer. They were focused on the twin inventory bags he'd seen earlier. They were twined around a tree, as if the sapling had grown up with them on it. Making his way over, he brushed off the dust on one of them, where the name was etched in bright golden thread, and paled.
It read Clutch.
They'd been busy placing the two inventory bags inside of Stellas when the monsters started raining from the sky.
They'd been digging up dirt to climb back up when they uncovered a cave with an egg shaped portal.
They'd been climbing upwards, pillaring straight up, when it began to rain.
Harper had stayed behind, too injured to make the climb back up to Sky City, and had gotten started on making a lit up shelter for the people who would be coming down to the surface soon.
Stella, for that was the Founder's name, had agreed that keeping her people on that small, tiny island, would be cruel.
But nothing, the monsters and the lightning, the blood from Harpers injuries, or the screams that they began to hear as they got closer, nothing prepared them for what they saw as Sky City came into view. Ghasts flew above the city shooting fireballs at anything that moved. Creepers were exploding left and right, and zombies lurched after their victims.
Ivor's hands clenched into fists. Hadrien had gone too far.
And he was going to pay.
And that's a wrap!
Hope you all enjoyed, see you next time, hopefully soon!
Remember to review!

{P.S. hope this was less of a cliffhanger than last time :3 I mean, it doesn't end with a creeper about to blow so...please don't kill me?}
*drinks invisibility potion just in case*
