6. Our Haunted Home Part 1

IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE! PLEASE READ THIS, GUYS

FIRST TWO PARTER CHAPTER BOO YAH X3 Why not end the LoH era of GITS with one?

I'm kinda on a roll right now...I'm just really excited to get the Legend of Herobrine portion done and get onto The Haunted section.

Also, different POV stuff cause woo

I need to explain something real quick. Three things have changed in the GITS world. One: The time Amethyst spent at the artic base was three months. Yeah, I made it pretty long, but hey; Armethyst will not be love at first sight -

Second, Collin is NOT Herobrine in this. That would mean Amethyst falls in love with her uncle, and...yeah. We're not having that. Instead, he was the one first possessed by Herobrine, and, after killing his parents and almost killing Armen, he abandoned his body and went off on his own ( He used him and the diamonds to escape his brother's curse, so he had his own body to use; just temporarily used Collin's ) Collin ran from Ruby Shire, came across the oil rig about 6-7 years later, and, though Grayson recognized him, he let his stay with them anyways, believing his story that it hadn't been him who attacked his family ( though he still didn't believe Herobrine existed ) He was later killed off by Herobrine while out alone in the artic. He'll make more than one appearance in this, that's for sure, since I am KIND of in love with his GITS design right now

Three, many of the things that happens don both series will NOT be happening in GITS. As it gets explained in this chapter, Amethyst's arrival changed EVERYTHING. Many things will not happen, many things will be different, and many things that didn't exist before will exist now. Destinies should not be messed with, and Amethyst apparently doesn't get that.

Just had to get that explained ^^; hope it was clear enough for you guys!

Not the best chapter ever, but ehh. It's ok enough, I guess

Farther down the chapter does get better, as I've had time to clear my head after going out with my parents, and my focus got better afterwards.

ALSO! Armen's eye color changed for a

Their destinies were beginning to fall into place.

Beautiful amethyst eyes disappeared behind the young woman's dark brown lids, sighing from where she was crouched over the pool. Long, curly black and purple hair swirled around her, laying on the ground when it became too long to hang just around her anymore. She was dressed fully in armor, minus the pale grey tights she wore as pants, with her back helmet clutched between her hands. Stretching across her shoulders was a small ebony and purple dragon, clearly not older than a baby. Laying beside the woman was another young dragon, not much older than the other, with its wings stretched out, seemingly asleep.

She opened her eyes and stared down at her helmet. She knew it was impossible to alter destinies. Once they were decided and set, that was it. It didn't mean she had to approve or like her brother's decision on these mortals' destiny. She chuckled dryly. Not just the mortals, she mused, but a demigodess as well. Her brother's only child.

She felt terrible that she was being roped into this. This hadn't been part of her destiny, so how had it been altered like this? It should have been impossible to stray from her chosen path. She'd tried pleading with her brother, trying to save her, get her out of there before everything became permanent for her, but he refused. She'd already broke her previous future; she would not do the same to another.

Footsteps crunched beside her on the teal-tinted grass. She looked behind her to see a much lighter-skinned man standing behind her, dark eyes staring at her tiredly. " Hello, Brother, " she spoke softly, looking away and back into the clear pool. He moved closer and knelt beside her, not speaking. To keep him from knowing how worried she was, she slid her helmet back onto her head, pressing her bangs down. The dragon on her shoulder, sensing her fear, raised its head and nuzzled her cheek. She gave a soft smile to the dragon and patted its head.

" You are distressed, my Sister. " Her brother looked over at her. She huffed. " Yes, a Brother, I am. Is it really that obvious? " He chuckled. " As obvious as the day is, Sister. Mine telling me why? " She looked away, refusing to meet his eyes. He reached out a hand to her, resting it on her own. " There isn't anything to be ashamed of if you are, Endonia... " The ender, now revealed to be named Endonia, snapped her head around to face her brother. " I can't believe that you're putting the life of a child into danger. And not just any child. OUR NEICE! "

He pulled his hand back, surprised by her sudden outburst. It wasn't any surprise where endermen got their teethy, unhinged jawed cries. Endonia was displaying that expression perfectly, violet eyes gleaming in anger. She was barely holding back from making the same garbled gibberish her creations did. Her brother frowned. " Amethyst has had her destiny altered once before, and in doing so altered the destinies of the boys she now travels with. Changing it again will NOT be allowed, Sister. "

" You disgust me, Notch. " she spat out his name like it was poison. " At least in this one she will survive longer than she would have in her chosen one, " Notch pointed out. " Much longer than she was supposed to. "

" That is supposed to make me feel better, Brother? Heh. Don't make me laugh. You lack any sort of andaviao. If you really were trying to comfort me or make me less nervous, you'd try and fix your mistake, instead of being such a zavasia! "

" My mistake!? MY MISTAKE!? " I haven't even been around the girl since she was an infant, and even then I hardly interacted with her! How was this MY mistake? She altered her own future, not me. " Notch argued. " You could have done something! You're the mortal god! The god over everything on the surface world? Come on, Brother, don't act like you were so useless in this situation. " Endonia spat back, standing up. Notch followed her, both of them glaring each other down.

" N-Notch? " A quiet voice rose from behind them. The quarreling siblings turned around to face the owner of the voice; a young, short, and slightly stout woman, dressed in a turtleneck tucked into her pants, a jacket with its sleeves pushed into her gloves, and long pants inside her almost knee-high boots. Orange hair was pulled back away from her head, a stray strand falling down over her right eye, and the rest of it only just brushed the top of her neck. Her hands were folded awkwardly in front of her, looking slightly towards the ground. Notch put a smile on his face. " Rowan. Is everything alright? "

" Y-You're watching my child, aren't you? " Her voice remained soft. The Aether God sighed and walked over to Rowan, putting a hand on her arm. " Yes, Rowan. We are. " " H-how is she? " His heart broke slightly. Curse his younger brother for casting the mortal out. She never got to see her child again before her death after she was kicked out when she was three; that was ten years before she was killed. Being here, getting information from the Aether's god was the only way she could know how her daughter was.

" She's OK, Rowan. She had some issues with her father, but she's safe. She's with others now that can help her. She won't be alone in this. " He comforted her. She looked up at him, orange-gold eyes shining lightly. " Wo-would it be ok if I check in on her...? Myself...? " Normally, this wasn't allowed; the pool he and his sister were using was there so the other gods could keep an eye on their wayward niece, but, as she was her mother, he could make an exception. " Of course, Rowan. " He put an arm around her and led her over to the pool. Endonia sat back down and shifted over to make room for her former sister-in-law to kneel.

The young mother stared down into the water, just watching her child. As of now, they were no longer awake; it was nighttime on the over world, and she could only imagine how exhausted her daughter must be. She was slumped over, head hanging off the shoulder of the black haired boy she was leaning on, with her pet wolf, Zayliee, slumped over their laps. " How long have they been together? " She spoke up. Both gods snapped their heads towards her with wide eyes. " They, uh, they're not together, at least I don't believe they are...but they've known one another for three months. " She chuckled. " At least they've had time to get to know one another... " she murmured.

The former Nether queen slipped back into silence, observing the others with her only child. The black haired boy she had taken notice of earlier was obviously the youngest, though not much younger than Amethyst, who was 23*.She'd say they were the same age, but with her being the elder. His hair in front was long, with the back spiked up. He had a slightly darker skin tone, and, though she couldn't see them, she could already guess what his eye color was.

" His eyes are blue, aren't they? " she looked at both gods. Endonia appeared surprised. " How did you...? " " He resembles Collin**. " Rowan shrugged. " Are they related? " The End Queen cast her a small smile. " Brothers. Collin...he did everything he could to keep Armen safe after his brief possession...it obviously worked, seeing as you're watching him now. He's a great person, despite everything he blames himself for. They both are. " "Then I guess it's a good thing my daughter found him, then. " Rowan chuckled softly.

The next boy, curled on the ground by Zayliee's head, was a brunette ender hybrid, with one half of his face being black, and sporting an elf ear, as most ender hybrids do. The other half was a darker color, darker than the previous boy's. It resembled her ex-husband's in some way. Hmm. I never thought I'd see the day when an ender being works with a Nether behind...the younger mother thought. The remaining one, though, she could get a good glimpse of. He was slumped over with his back facing away from them, blocking out any sort of facial features. From what she could see, however, he was paler skinned, more like her daughter's than any of the others, with bright, honey colored hair. She guessed he was the oldest; growing up in a faction where everyone in your age group was your siblings, you could always tell which was the eldest and which was the youngest by how they always sat or slept.

While the youngest would usually sleep more relaxed and peacefully, the eldest would usually sleep more hunched, tensed, as if constantly ready to lunge if the baby of the group, or any of the younger ones, was to be hurt or threatened by anyone. The blonde currently held that position. He was stronger-looking than the rest of the foursome by what she could see. She knew they were lucky to have them on their side.

" What are their names? " She asked, wanting more information on the people who currently held her baby's life partially in their hands. " The brunette is Drake, the black-haired one is Armen, and the blonde is Grayson. " Notch answered, keeping his eyes on the Looking Pool.

They'd move on later in the night, as Endonia had to return to the End, as her young dragons could not be gone for much longer before they would begin to show signs of being ill , and Rowan preferred to go off and be around her former faction friends again instead of lurking around, watching her child sleep. But even so, Notch would return when the day finally returned, to watch as the foursome awoke and got ready to head out towards the haunted city. He felt their decision was idiotic, but knew it must happen for their destinies to be fulfilled.

As much as he didn't particularly like her, he'd still watch out for Amethyst, so he knew she would fulfill the path laid out for he once more. Because he really didn't want her to fall down the one prior.

Shoes crunching on gravel was the only sound that continuously broke the tense silence around the small band of people. Drake and Grayson had just left Armen and Amethyst alone for the fact that they woke up circled up by one another, and neither were very happy with them at the moment. They'd apologized, but they'd recited their answer to them in pure silence. Needless to say, they hadn't accepted it.

" Guys, we said we were sorry! " Drake chuckled, not sounding sorry at all. The heads of the younger two swiveled towards him, sending glares that, if possible, would burn his soul till not even ash remained. He gave an awkward grin before speeding up to walk beside Grayson.

Amethyst looked away from him and down at Zayliee, bouncing happily next to her master. She smiled. " Well, at least one of us may remain joyful, " the demigoddess murmured, scratching Zayliee behind her ears. She leaned into the touch, whining. " Amethyst laughed, her fingers feeling the worn navy collar she wore. She frowned. " I thought I got rid of that... "

She called out a halt to the others as she knelt in front of Zayliee. She undid the buckle holding the collar in place and loosened it, sliding it off over her head. The white wolf whined in relief at the released pressure on her neck. The white and black fur was pressed down and flat from how tight the object was becoming. Amethyst swore quietly as she Ruffles the fur around where the collar had been, fluffing it back up. She threw her arms around Zayliee. " I am sorry, Zayliee. That should not have been on you any longer. " she muttered, pressing her face into her fur. Zayliee gave a low whine and nuzzled her jaw. She smiled and stood back up, sliding her collar into her bag. " Sorry. I had to remove that wretched thing from her. I meant to remove it a while ago, but forgot. "

" It's ok, 'Thyst. We just need to keep...moving. " It's a relief she's even talking to us, Grayson thought, yawning. Amethyst smirked. They were all pretty tired, on,y getting around two to three hours previously. Hopefully they'd find time to get more later.

" How much farther is this city? " Armen called up to the blonde. " It's still a little ways away. We're not exactly moving the quickest, anyways. " He called back, not glancing back at them. Armen huffed and rolled his eyes. Amethyst laughed and leaned over to him, slightly laying on his shoulder. He have her a lazy grin and threw an arm around her shoulder.

Drake looked back and raised an eyebrow. " OK, I know I said I'd knock it off, but...are you two a thing or not? Right now, we're both getting major mixed feelings. " The duo looked at one another and shrugged. Drake sighed and faced forward again, choosing to talk quietly with Grayson about the odd plants around here. Only they'd focus on the foliage of the area while heading off to possibly get into another battle with the most deadly being in all the dimensions of Minecraftians. Because that's what most normal people did, right? She scoffed. Of course it was.

Amethyst put her head on Armen's shoulder. We're ey something more than friends? It sure seemed like it. COULD they ever be more than friends? Gods falling for mortals never was good, but, then again, they could only love mortals...and she wasn't a god. She had mortal blood..it wouldn't be ALL that bad, would it? Zayliee, seeming to sense her change in emotions, licked between her fingers, making her laugh. " Zayliee, stop, " she chuckled, pulling her hands up. Zayliee yipped and jumped ahead of them, crouched down slightly, tail wagging. Amethyst grinned and pulled away from Armen, moving towards her. The wolf began backing up, still crouched down as the brunette advanced on her. She spin around on her paws and shot forward, running past Grayson and Drake. Amethyst took off after her. " Zayliee! " she cried, giggling. " Come back! "

The boys started after them, grinning. " Should we go after them...? " Drake looked over at the others. " Would be better. Keep either of them from falling and getting hurt. She just got healed. " Drake snorted. " Yeah. And I'd prefer not to have to carry her again. I don't know if my back can take it. " He joked. The other two boys chuckled before running off after the wolf and master.

Breaking from the trees, they barley slid to a stop to avoid running into the Frozen demigoddess and wolf. Grayson took a few steps back to avoid running into his friend. " Is this the city...? " Amethyst murmured softly.

Stretching in front of them was an old, broken bridge, broken in the middle and laying in pieces on the ground. Beyond that was the worn-looking city. The walls were overgrown with plants and trees, with holes in the stone brick walls. Buildings could be seen through the mountain hollow close to the minecraftians, shadowed by the overhanging and curving to the other side, hidden from view. " Nature has definitely taken control over this city. " Grayson frowned. Amethyst nodded. " I can tell... " She crossed her arms. They began walking again, towards the open hollow. " You may have seen this on your way in. " He told them. " Looks familiar. Saw something like it, didn't look anymore into it when I did, was more focused on finding you. " Drake called back up to him. " Well, since it is here, why not give it a look? " Amethyst looked over at the blonde. " Isn't that where we're headed? " Armen asked. " Yeah, we are. " Grayson stated.

Zayliee ran on ahead again, paws flying. She splashed through the small puddles left from the water running down the side of the hills, sending water flying. Amethyst took off after her again, the boys not very far behind. " Zayliee! Stop! Wait for us! " Amethyst yelled. The wolf gave a few whines, but trotted obediently back to her master. She stroked her fur gently. The beast gave a low noise in her throat, bending her head back and pressing her wet nose into her palm. She pulled her hand back, wiping in him her shorts, chuckling. She looked up, seeing the boys already moving into the house hidden inside the hollowed out hill. " Come on, Zay. We need to keep up with them so we don't get lost. " They walked forward towards the house, hearing the boys talking quietly upstairs.

Grayson jumped down off the ladder, stepping outside, his eyes widening when he took notice of the sky. " Look. " He said quietly. " What? " She asked. " The sun. It's rising. " He leaned back inside, shouting out to Drake and Armen. " Guys! The sun is rising! "

Her lips curled back, revealing her white teeth. " I have not see a sunrise in ages... " her voice was soft. Grayson looked at her. " How long has it been for you? " " Technically three months, but, since time is apparently different, it has been a year and three months. I never saw it back in the artic, obviously, and it was nighttime when I was pushed into the portal, I could not see it before them. I could not even know what they looked like until I was 15, as the Nether lacks sunsets as well. " Her smile fell, and her face took on a more grave expression. " My mother...she has always loved them. She used to tell me about them back home. That is why finally escaped to the overworld I could hardly bear to see them. She was not around to enjoy them with me...so should I be? "

" So, I'm assuming they mean a lot of you? " Armen came up behind her and rested her arm on her right shoulder. " Yes. More than you would realize. " She let them fall back into silence as the watched the sun rise over the mountains, washing them in a warm yellow glow.

" You know what? " Drake spoke up. " I've been thinking...how do plants even grow here? If the sun hasn't risen in over a year, why hasn't everything stopped growing or died? " Grayson shrugged. " I have no idea, to be honest. " " This dimension is odd enough, Drake, without you adding onto the 100 questions we already have. " Amethyst glared at him, though not with the usual fire she usually used.

" OK, enough about the plants. Let's get moving. We need to figure out what He is trying to protect here, and why he stays here. " Grayson turned around and began walking off from the small, broken down home. Amethyst started off after him, walking in pace with Drake and Armen. " What did you find in that home? " She questioned softly. The boys looked at each other then straight ahead, not answering her. She huffed. " Fine, you two. Be that way, I guess. " she muttered angrily.

" Hold up a second. " Grayson called, sliding his bag off of his shoulder and kneeling, opening it up. Amethyst sighed and crossed her arms, tapping her foot. Her eyes widened and she stumbled forward as she felt water running down the back of her legs and heard a loud splash. She glared over her shoulder to see Drake had jumped into one of the puddles, he and Armen, who was also wet, laughing. What is so exciting over jumping into puddles? They just mean that you will get colder as the day goes on...Amethyst thought dryly. Armen ran ahead of her and flung himself into a large pool of water, sending out a larger wave of liquid towards the demigoddess. She shrieked and threw up her hands, trying to deflect some of it. Zayliee started yapping and jumping up towards the water, letting it hit her.

" Thank you, Armen. Now she is all hyper, and it takes forever to get her to- AUGH! " She shrieked as Armen grabbed her arm and pulled her down into the water with him. She stumbled, knocking into him when she fell, sending them both crashing down into the water, sending water flying in all directions, splashing Zayliee and barely missing Grayson and Drake, who was back on the shore. Amethyst surfaced alongside Armen, eyes narrowed to slits and burning with a fiery glow. " Armen! What the nether is wrong with yo- " She shut up when she saw him laughing, holding his sides, barley any noise coming out. His hair and clothes clung to his face and body, water running off of him. He was grinning widely, the corners of his mouth stretching.

Amethyst's scowling face fell, looking surprised for a few seconds, before she brightened, chuckling. " I still hate you, you know, " She joked, wading over to the ground and hauling herself out. She shook her head and body, sending water flying around her. Grayson leapt back with a yelp. " Don't get me wet! " He cried. " Then do not stand so close to me! " She retorted, stepping to the side to let Armen climb out. " Ok, lovebirds, let's get moving. Don't want it going dark on us. " Drake smirked, not fazed by their heated looks they suddenly changed to. The foursome started walking again, Amethyst keeping a hand on Zayliee's head to keep her close to her, knowing that, as she was still rather hyped up right now, she might run off and get lost if she didn't.

" What's that over there? " Armen pointed to an opening in the side of the hills, surrounded by a wooden border. " Coal mines. " Grayson stepped away from the group, headed towards them. Drake followed him. Amethyst gave a sharp gasp,maher eyes lighting up. " You seem happy to see a mine. " Armen out his hands in his hips. " My mother was born and raised a miner, Armen. Obviously I would gain some of that love. " She retorted. He jabbed her tongue out at him as Drake came to join them, the trio turning to face the small shed area behind them.

She opened her mouth to send a snarky comment back towards him, when her eyes lit up with a sharp, brief glow. At the same moment, Grayson shouted behind them, stumbling back away from the coal mine. Zayliee started growling loudly towards the mines, yellow eyes in slits. " It's him. He's here. " Grayson gasped, eyes wide.

" What? Where? " " In the mines. " Drake and Armen broke away from Amethyst and ran over to the mines. Zayliee sprinted back to her master, huddling around her legs in a protective manner, snarling. " Grayson, there's nothing here...are you sure you're not just going crazy? A year alone can't be doing much good for someone... " Drake called. " No, I saw him. He was definitely there. " Grayson argued, frowning. " Well, if he was, he isn't now. " They stepped out of the mines. " He was. My eyes; they began glowing. And Zayliee's reaction; she tried to move back to protect me. She hardly does that anymore, unless there is any threats to me. As of now, she is viewing him as a major threat to my life. He was here. But now he is not at the current moment. "

" ...Let's just keep moving. You need any tools? " Drake shook his head. " We're good. Let's get going. " They set off again, trying to shake off the skin-crawling feeling they were currently getting.

" Is this bridge really safe...? " Amethyst murmured as they stepped up to the terribly worn, crumbling stone brick bridge. " Been holding up all these years. It's not really that unstable until farther up anyways. You'll be fine. " Grayson assured her. " I thought you told us that you have never been here before... " Amethyst raised an eyebrow. " I haven't gotten into the city yet. I've been around here on the bridge, but just haven't went in yet. " " Do you even know how to get in? " " Of course, Amethyst. " Grayson sounded slightly annoyed. " I am sorry, Grayson, but I just want to make sure we shall get across safely, and get inside safely. " She apologized. " It's fine. I get that you're worried. I'm not much better. But have a little faith in me? " She snickered. " Never in a million years, my friend. "

" Hey, look. Up ahead. There's some sort of building. " Armen pointed towards it. " Nice observation, Armen. " Amethyst held a slight bit of sarcasm in her tone. " Juat making sure you saw it, Princess. Don't want you running into any walls and running your pretty face, would you? " She cast him a heated look, which he returned with a sly grin. " Hush, mortal. " She muttered. " Impossible. Sorry! " He teased.

" It's started to get dark again. " Drake interrupted. The duo quit arguing to look over towards the sky, where the sun was beginning to dip down beneath the hills once more. The sky was glowing a brilliant yellow-orange, with the top of the sky beginning to fade into deep blues and purple. Stars began to gleam in the higher areas of the sky, though there were not very many at the time. Grayson sighed. " Of course it is... " He muttered. " Even if it may not be very good that it is going dark once more, you have to admit...The sky is quite beautiful right now. Wish I could have a picture of it. " Amethyst smiled fondly. " First sunrise and first sunset in a year and three months of definitely something I would love to keep a memory of. " She called over her shoulder as she stepped inside the building.

By the looks of it, she guessed it was once a school. Desks were lined up in two neat rows, the one closer to the door lacking a desk. Up front was a small oak table in front of what she guessed were spruce bookshelves. A map hung from one wall, showcasing the bridge they were currently standing on and stretching back to the small home tucked away in the hollow. It looked old and outdated, as both bridges were still whole, and nothing looked overgrown and overtaken by nature.

She was gently pushed to the side to make room for Armen and Drake, who stepped past her and headed towards the back of the building, where there always another room lacking a door. Zayliee took up the space they made, tail wagging as she stared up at her master. She sighed and pet one of her ears. " Is it cold for anyone else, or is that just me? " She called out. " Don't worry, I'm the same way. " Armen's muffled voice met her ears. She huffed and rolled her eyes. " Of course you are. Thank you for dragging me into the puddle, by the way. " She snarked. " Anytime, 'Thyst. " His voice kept a light tone to it, obviously trying to get her riled up.

Drake walked out of the room, heading toward Grayson, who was examining something behind Amethyst. He suddenly stopped and backpedaled, looking outside the hole in the wall. " Did that fire just light? "

Amethyst moved over to stand beside him. " ...It was not before... " she murmured. Grayson looked over out the door. " That's...not creepy in the slightest. " he muttered, green eyes darkening slightly. " Let's...just ignore that. " The blonde turned to face Drake. " There anything in that room? " " Not that I could see. " He shrugged and turned around, walking back towards the the room. " It's empty! " Armen shouted. " Except for a hole in the ceiling. " Drake added. As he was walking out. Armen chimed in with " I can't reach it, " before leaving the room as well.

His teal eyes widened slightly. " Look at the candles. They're still lit. Shouldn't they have went out by now? " Amethyst looked at him. " Armen...is correct. Even though fire can burn eternally, as it does back in the nether, the candles should have burned down by this point in time. " Her face scrunched up in confusion. Grayson cringed slightly. " OK, let's...go. This is getting way to weird for me. " Drake nodded. " Same. We need to get into the city anyways. It can't be safe being out here after dark. "

The foursome stepped out of the believed school and began back down the bridge. Farther down, when they came across an area where the two bridge halves were connected by wood, Amethyst shot out a hand to hold Zayliee back. " Do not rush across, darling. " She murmured. " I do not want it breaking and letting you fall. " Zayliee nuzzled her hand to calm her down. She sighed and Ruffles the fur on her neck, moving her hand away to let the wolf cross. Her paws moved across the slightly rotted wood tentatively, whining at the slight creak. Once she reached the other side she flung herself off, crouching behind Grayson's legs. He gave her a sympathetic look and patted her head. " It's ok, Zayliee. There's not need to freak out. " He gave her a small smile. She quit whimpering but remained around his feet as Amethyst walked across, arms stretched out to keep her balance.

They turned around. " Hold on a second. " Grayson stepped over Zayliee and walked over to the side of the bridge. He made a leap for the vines stretching over the side, but missed and went crashing to the ground below. The remains trio rushed over to the edge of the bridge, staring down at the blonde, who was groaning. " I'm ok! " He called out, grunting as he pushed himself back up onto his feet. " Good job, Grayson! " Armen yelled. Drake laughed. " Nice. " " Once more, Grayson, you have proven to me just how brilliant you truly are. " Amethyst added.

The eldest grabbed onto the vines hanging down and pulled himself up, crawling through the hole they hung over. He disappeared from sigh. A few moments later

They stepped inside, Amethyst sighing in relief at the fact taut she was finally hidden slightly from the chill of the night air. Zayliee had taken to curling around her, rubbing her face on her leg to try and warm her up slightly. The boys had moved on, opening the door to the adjoined room and looking around in there. She head Drake's muffled voice say, " That guy wasn't having a good day.. " and she chuckled. " They are quite stupid, are they not, Zayliee? " She asked the wolf. The white beast only gave a small grunt as an answer, staring up at the demigodess with wide yellow eyes. She laughed again and kneeled down, rubbing the fur of her muzzle and touching her nose to the wolf's.

" Aww, poor Armen. Amethyst replaced him already? " She heard Drake's teasing from behind her. She rolled her eyes playfully and looked over her shoulder. " Yes, I have, my friend. Zayliee here makes such a better partner. " He joined in on her laughter as she stood up. " Find anything? " She asked. " Nothing of use. " She peeked sound him, and her eyes widened when she saw what was on the shelves. " Potions! "

She pushed past the boys and bolted into the room, face bright with excitement. She usually carried a lot of potions with her, and was beginning to run low.

She picked the one closest to her up and examined if, the shine of it reflecting in her eyes. " Regeneration. " She mumbled, the fond smile returning to her face. She laid her bag off of her shoulder and let it fall gently to the ground. She snapped open the clasps and slid the potion inside, nestling it in beside the remaining three she had. She moved on to check the others. " Splash potion of strength, one more regeneration...nothing of use my arse... " she placed them in beside the others, raising her total to six. " Not that much, but six is better than none at all... " She spoke quietly to herself, hooking her clasps back together again and standing, slipping her bag back on over her shoulders. She saw a hole in the ground a few feet away. She walked over to it, peering down and instantly cringing away in disgust. " Uhgh...Drake was correct. That poor fellow was not having a nice day in the slightest. "

Suddenly, Grayson shrieked, " OH GOD! " from the other room. Startled, Amethsyt stumbled forward, slipping over the side of the hole. She managed to get a grip on the side of the hole, nails dragging on the stone. She heard the boys getting onto Grayson over his overreaction, as he believed that he'd seen Herobrine again, and deciding that their scolding could wait, shrieked, " Help! "

The voices went quiet until footsteps rushed into the room. Armen shouted, " Amethyst! " and bolted over, grabbing her arms and pulling her out of the hole, holding her to his chest. She wrapped her arms around him, eyes wide. " Oh God, 'Thyst. Are you OK. Please tell me you're ok. " He murmured softly. " I-I am find. Just...Just startled. " He sighed and stood up, steadying her. Grayson and Drake rushed in as well, obviously not having known quite what was happening until Armen was already in thee and saving here. " She's fine, " Armen called. " Good. " Zayliee brushed past them and moved close to Amethyst, whining and standing up, using her body to balance. She licked her cheek, tail wagging. She moved her gaze to the wolf, moving her head to press it to her nose. " Thank you, Zayliee. "

" So, now that Amethyst is ok, and you've decided that I'm insane, can we get headed into the city? " Grayson asked. " Actually, I...I was wondering if we could possibly stop for the night. We are all tired, and being tired will only cause more falls like mine, and they may not have as much of a happy ending. And, if he is haunting this city, we will need all the energy we can get. " Amethyst spoke softly, looking down towards the floor.

The boys shared a look, before looking back at her. " You can out up one of your shields, right? " Drake asked. She nodded. " Yes. I can. " The ender hybrid sighed. " Then it can't hurt. She's right. We will need sleep if we have any chance of defeating Him. "

" So, we're stopping? " Armen questioned. " Yeah. C'mon. We need to look for a place to sleep. " Drake turned and began walking away.

The home had been found, a protective spell had been put up, and, after a argument over how would sleep where, it was decided that Amethyst and Armen would get a room downstairs, Drake would get the one on the other side of the stairwell, and Grayson would get one of the ones upstairs with Zayliee, though, while missing some of its wall, offered the same amount of protection that the ones downstairs did. Zayliee was simply there to warn him in case danger got too close.

Amethyst currently lay awake, unable to sleep, too many questions swirling in her mind. Why was Father haunting this city? Why was here even here? Was this really smart? What about her and Armen? Were they a thing? Were they not? If they were something, would they ever go beyond just a crush?

She felt the bed move beside her and Armen's soft voice met her ears. " Everything ok, 'Thyst? " She sighed, looking over her shoulder at him. " No, not really. " He sighed and pushed himself up to a sitting position. " Talk to me, Princess. "

" ...How do I even begin to explain... " she whispered. She remained quiet for a few moments before blurting out, " Are we...are we something, Armen? Something...something more that simply...friends? " His eyes widened. " You're asking...why? " " All of Drakes teasing, it...it has me thinking, " she looked away. " Are we something? Could...could we ever be something? I...I am just having so many doubts right now, and... "

Armen interrupted her. " Does this help your doubts? " She turned to face him, to question his words, but never got the chance. The next moment, his lips were on hers, only lasting for a few seconds before he pulled away. Amethyst's eyes were wide in shock, until a sly grin broke out on her face and she threw her arms around the boy's neck, pressing her mouth back to his. His arms came around her waist, pulling her closer. This kiss lasted longer than the previous one did, both pulling back when the need for air became too much. She pulled away and rested her head on his, both smiling. " Yes, Armen. That does greatly help my doubts. " She then moved down to kiss him again, pushing him back slightly, the smile never falling from her face.

This wasn't the city. Far from it. Instead, it was the field beside the lake back home, back with the Army. A golden sun shone brightly in the sky, reflecting off the glassy surface of the massive body of water. Sugarcane grew along one side, cattails growing close to where she was currently standing. Her fingertips brushed against the smooth surface of a carmine colored flower growing up close to her fingertips. She moved forward, falling to her knees by the water.

She dipped her hand into the liquid, letting it swirl around her calloused hands, caused by years of intensive training with weapons of all kinds; but mainly from the handle of a sword. Everything was quiet, peaceful, perfect. The life she'd never felt.

Something wasn't right.

She stilled, and flung herself around,dropping to the ground before lunging, tackling the figure behind her to the soft grass below. She slid her hand around his neck, the other pulled back and alight. " Why, Uncle. " she spat. " Why have Aunt create this dream world for me? Why are you seeking me out? "

" Get off of me, Amethyst, and I'll tell you. " The man spat, sending the younger a fiery glare. She huffed and flung herself off of him, doing a back handspring before landing.

" Amethyst, calm yourself. " A new voice rose from the woods. She raised her head to see another figure approach; this one much taller, taller than any of the enderman. Curly black and purple hair floated around her body, the top being pressed down by her ebony helmet. Her violet eyes shone brightly in the midday sunlight. It was her aunt, and her favorite of her brother's siblings, Queen Endonia. She walked over lightly and pulled the other being to his feet, who brushed himself off and continued to glare at Amethyst. Her idiotic uncle, Notch.

" As I was saying, we needed to bring you here to give you a warning. " Notch began. Amethyst cocked her head to the side. " A warning? " " Amethyst... " Endonia stepped closer. " You cannot remain with the mortals. " Her eyes widened. " Wh-what? " she stuttered out. " Wh-why not? "

" Their destinies have been altered too much, Amethyst. You remaining will only change that even more. They have to follow what is left of it. I will not stand for you altering it any more! " Notch spat. " You and your destinies! You refuse to believe that they can change! Well, they can, and they have! MINE has changed! Why can theirs not? "

" It just cant! " Notch roared. " Accept that, child! " " Notch! " Endonia yelled. " Leave the poor girl alone! " To Amethyst, she said, " Amethyst, please, you have to let them go, let them follow their future...You remaining will only bring more harm. "

" I...I can't, Aunt. I have to stay with them, without me they cannot stop him! " " Yes they can, Amethyst. In their planned out destinies, they are saved, He IS stopped; but not by you. Please, let them fulfill that. " Endonia pleaded.

" Can...can I think it through? " She murmured. " You have till tomorrow at nightfall. Choose wisely, child. One wrong move could lead to a downfall. " Notch growled. " Continue on in this sleep, in this happy place. Just know that when you wake up, you'll be back to everything the world has thrown at you. We will NOT be there to help you. "

Amethyst blinked when she realized that her aunt and uncle were gone. She sighed. Great. The high she had received earlier was just coming crashing down once more.

Of course it was. Because she was Amethyst Brine. Nothing ever went right with her.

In the next room over, another dream was being had; this one not much different than the prior.

He was back home, in Ruby Shire. Nothing had changed from when he'd last seen it, when he'd falling into the void in Armen's old home. There was still that light about it, despite the horrors the city had seen. The fountain in the center still flowed and sparkled, right before the City Hall and the two local schools. The grave streets were still pressed down from years of footsteps pressing down on it, having to be replaced ever few years to keep it from sinking into the ground and disappearing.

He had so many memories on this street. Playing with Armen when they were only kids in the fountain, having to have the younger's older brother, Collin, pull them out before they got yelled at. Running down the street after Armen came to their family with Grayson, barely dodging shrieking pedestrians who had to jump out of the way of the boys before they were knocked over by them. Many others that came to mind that made a smile stretch on his face. His home.

He paused at the sound of gravel crunching behind him. He looked over his shoulder to see another figure behind him. A young woman, with ginger hair pulled away from her face into a ponytail, dressed in what looked like miners gear. Two faded scars stretched on her left cheek, pulling when she smiled. " Hello. "

His eyes widened. " Uhm, hi, " he said. " Who are you might I ask? " Her smile never faltered. " My name is Rowan. I am a being of the Aether, and have been sent here by Notch to warn you. " He raised an eyebrow. " Warn me? Warn me about what? "

She sighed. " To warn you about the future. " " The...The future? " She crossed her arms. " Yes, the future, child. I cannot give much away, but here's what I can; your futures have not been decided. There is a multitude of ways it could go. But there is one thing that rings true through it all; One of you has been chosen. " She took a deep breath. " One...one of you will suffer, and the others will feel great pain. I can't share any other information with you; I'm only allowed to say what I've been permitted to. If I could say more, trust me, I would, but I'm not allowed. "

" Wait...what? That doesn't make sense...are you SURE you can't tell me anything else? " she nodded. " Certain. I'm sorry, Drake. " " How do you know my name? I never told you it! " She didn't answer, only turned away. For the first time, he took a good look at her eyes. " Wait a second...your eyes! Th- You're Amethyst's mom! "

Rowan looked over her shoulder, but didn't speak, only smiled. He stood and watched as she walked away, soon fading away into the dream as if she had never been there in the first place, leaving him stand there staring after where she once was.

He only hoped her words weren't as bad as they sounded.

Heeeey first split chapter done so yeeeeh

The warning they ended up with in the book of prophecies was given first here by Rowan, as you can tell. I had to add it in to having her telling it since Rowan is awesome and would definitely be Notch's messenger.
