They walked through the different worlds quickly, only stopping to eat, drink or to place Ender Eyes in tunnels. The only other stop they made was in the world where Fire… Claw had killed the hunters since they wanted to inspect the scene once again. The blood was still on the ground but the bodies were gone, so was the satchel of diamonds Fire had left there.
They finally arrived in the small, distorted clearing in Nexus. It was in the middle of the night when they came out of the tunnel. Fire could still feel his connection to the network, weak and full of static, but it was still there. They quickly left the forest and went to the road, from there to the town. Before his departure Fire had made sure that his room would remain reserved for some time. They arrived at the tavern without further problems, after greeting the owners, Fire and Shadow went upstairs. Fire laid down on his mattress and Shadow magically projected one for herself.
The next morning Fire checked a small apparatus he had built, a bit of redstone hooked up to a clock. According to the redstone charge, significantly less time had passed in Nexus than Fire had spent on his journey. He had assumed something like this but this was the confirmation, time passes differently between worlds.
Shadow woke up, stretched and yawned. She asked: "So, we're supposed to look for somebody, right?"
Fire answered: "I overheard some talk about a prophet and his congregation being near here. They also talked about his guard called Steve. Now, with everything being Minecraft based around here, Steve should be a fairly common name, I even ran into one in the Tower. I do remember Kay talking about a Steve as well, who may or may not be the same Steve as this prophet's guard. Anyways, we go out and find them, we'll probably meet someone who has a bit more insight into the situation at hand."
Shadow got up and yawned again. "Good plan. Now excuse me while I finish waking up. Haven't actually slept in a few months."
