Ok this one took more time than the rest, Sorry about that, going to try and not have like a week before the next chapter. In the author note at the end I'm going to have a question for anyone who wants to review, so please do read it

Disclaimer: I own only my OCs

"yo" speaking

"yo" thinking

"yo" chants/spirit talk

During the war, ways to control the elements more efficiently, use more power, without adverse effects, had been discovered. Chants, they had been called, letting one use the elements with power unparalleled, every element had some, fire chants being the rarest. The words spoken, sung, in a language that while understandable by all, seemed foreign, seemed to speak to the elements themselves. Which brought questions, making many try to pierce the mystery with no results, at least until after the war.

Once the war was over, mobs, of every species, those that were more inclined towards using the elements, those that used them the most, started seeing small beings, spirits, that spoke with same language as the chants were sung, as if they had been present all along, floating around sources of the elements, and around people that used them, revealing secrets. Some for every element, be it natural or created, gathering when a chant was sung, sometimes in such a high number they became visible to all.

Blaze PoV

It had been a month, a month since Andr had showed him to the valley surrounded by mountains,in the first week he had mostly searched the mountains, gathering the materials he needed, more than he needed even, enough to remake the hilt twice, and materials to make an enchanting table, he had found everything, apart from a book.

The gems he had been drawn to had been different, different from the last time, which had confused him at first, he had used unnamed gems the last time, the kind that where more polished stones than anything else, they had called to him at the time, if weakly compared to the rest of the materials he had used. This time he had been drawn, more than he had been for the previous gems used, by different gems, one type for each of the five primal elements, Amber gem for fire, Beryl for wind, Turquoise for water, Malachite for earth and, the strangest of all, a completely white diamond for ether. Even by following his instinct, instincts that had never failed him, and using the tunnels that had probably been dug by the dragon-like worm, it had taken him most of the week to find the materials.

The first three days of the second week, he had dedicated to crafting, forging and all, he had made the hilt first, a guardless one similar to the temporary one he had made, with the exception of the gems, the Amber and Beryl on the right, the Turquoise and the Malachite on the left and the white diamond on the bottom. Then he had made a better bow for Andr, he had seen her practising with the one he had given her, this one made of iron-wood, the string made from thin silver wires, he had tested it and it was stronger than the previous bow. Lastly he had made armour with the left over leather, made by using the elements to treat it in ways you couldn't with normal means, he had made from the worm's skin, one set for Andr, similar to the one he had been wearing, but more... shapely, to accommodate for her feminine frame, and he had made another set for himself, this time with a helmet, more of a mask, covering his whole head, the whole set of armour giving him a less than human appearence, the specially treated leather was stronger than normal leather, while still being as flexible. Then the rest of that week he had helped Andr with her short-warp training, he hadn't done much, only have her train the way he had been told was most effective for it.

The last two weeks, had been training and teaching, training his control over the elements, apart from fire, all were weaker than before he had been locked away, and training his body, he could still do the physical feats he could do, only he felt weaker somehow, it may just have been him doubting his own body after so long, he wasn't sure. He also had been teaching Andr about the elements and how to use them in battle, or for menial things.

Andr PoV

Until the last two weeks they had been in the valley, she had been practising short-warping and her bow skills, with the bow Blaze had given her. while she knew she would probably never be as good as Skull, the skeleton prince, it didn't mean she didn't want to get better, being an enderman, woman, she could get away from anything that got too close for her to shoot by simply teleporting away, she had thought about getting a weapon for close range, but had put that idea on hold at least until she was able to short-warp properly.

Then the third day of the second week, Blaze had given her a new bow, it was stronger than the one she had been using, and has asked her if she wanted armour, she had said yes, and had told him that the usual bulky armour, that seemed to be the only made these days, had never felt comfortable to her, he had nodded and asked if he could take measurements, to know the exact size he would need to make the armour.

He had been completely professional the whole time, never touching where he shouldn't, then he ha gone for about an hour and came back with a set of armour like his own, and had asked her to try it on. It had fit perfectly, a bit too perfectly, there was a reason the shirts she wore were loose, but the armour was form fitting, she had asked him if he could make it looser, he had told her that if it was loose it would get in the way when moving, he did tell her she didn't have to wear it at all time, unlike him, and that she could put a shirt over it if she wanted, since the bag he had given her hadn't been enchanted yet she settled on putting a shirt over the armour.

The last four days of that week, he had helped her train in short-warping, she still couldn't do it as well as she would like, but at least he could use it if she ever needed to. He had her stand in a circle and short-warp to dodge rocks he threw at her, she didn't like it but she couldn't deny it was effective, he had even told her that it's how endermen trained short-warping, or at least that's what he had been told.

On the first day of the third week he had told her he would help her less with her training, she had followed him, when he went to do his own training, well after waiting a little so that he would have started. What she had seen, heard too, had been amazing he was surrounded by pale floating light, they spun around him, wind seeming to pick the faster they got, then she heard him... sing? It was melodious and the lights seemed to answer, in a tongue that while she understood, she had never heard before.

"Hear me gentle breeze." he had started, the little lights answering with joyous sounds, "Whisper, Howl,Screech!" at that point she could see the ground around him getting ripped apart, the wind tearing into it with a steady whistle, just loud enough to hear, "Render all from my sight, with never ending gales!" he had finished, slashing his arms in front of him, and the lights had roared, gusts of wind, enough to be visible, shot towards where he had aimed, leaving gouges in the ground, he had no doubt that had they hit something it would have been destroyed. Once it was done, and that the lights had dispersed, she had ran up to him and asked if he could teach her how to do that.

The next two weeks, the rest of the month, he had taught her about the elements, more than she had ever been taught before, he had shown her how to use the five of them, the only ones she could use, effectively, being water, which had confused her, of course she, being unlike usual endermen, could touch water, but to control it to a degree didn't make sense no matter how she thought of it, the other elements being earth and ether. While he focused on teaching her how to use those three in battle, he also thought her tricks to make being out in the wild easier using the four elements, how to start fire without a lighter, how get drinkable water from any source and how to make a quick shelter from by reshaping the earth. Then he had told her about what he had done, with wind, told her about chants and the lights that she would start seeing if she used the elements enough.

Then it had been cut short, by a messenger bird bringing her a letter, a letter calling the mob ruler to a meeting, in a weeks time at the latest, complete with the location marked on a map, and the password, meaning she had to go home and get ready for the meeting. She had told Blaze of course, all he had asked was to see the map, know the password then he told her he would see her at the meeting and wished her safety. She had tried asking him what he meant by that, but he only told her that she should go and had walked away, heading to the mountain they had entered the valley from. She had stayed there looking at him go for a bit, before shaking her head and staring to teleport home.

Blaze PoV

After he had left the valley, he had travelled a bit, he had memorized the map, and password, there had been a couple of villages on the map, those where what he was, interested in visiting at the moment. He had no doubt that Andr would get the armour, the bow and the bag enchanted, she would probably have the armour and bag dyed as well. He would need to travel quick, eat while walking and only rest when absolutely necessary, if he wanted to get to the meeting.

So he went, getting to one of the villages, the farthest from the meeting point, from the map in three days, and installing a enchanting table in the library, the people living in the village had seemed happy about it, the tailor had let him take some dyes, just enough for his armour, he didn't stay in the village long, only enough to enchant his bag, armour and his sword, and spare hilt, usual capacity enhancement for the bag, enchant the armour to be reduce the damage he received, and a variety of enchantments for the sword to be more effective in battle and of course enchantments on everything so they stayed durable for a longer period of time, one of them letting the item repair over time. Then he had dyed his armour, the same way it had been dyed in the past, a dark almost black bloody red, with lines of sky-blue, made to look like cracks, following every bend, every line, every cut of leather, of the armour, giving the illusion of scales, as if he was, the tailor and other villagers stating he looked something like a demon, a beast, straight out of the stories they told children. Dyeing the armour the right way had taken most of the day.

In all, he had stayed a full day in the village, leaving him with only two to days before the meeting took place, two days which he travelled, going fast as he could, travelling day and night.

Andr PoV

She had gone home, in the End, as soon as she had left the valley, having the items Blaze had given her enchanted, the bag armour and bow, with the best enchantments she could have put on them, while that was being done, she had been briefed by the elders on things to ask at the meeting, the usual really, politics and all. Then after the briefing, she had approached the oldest elder, the one that spoke in the same manner as Blaze, a grey skinned enderman, greyed from years of living, and had asked him if he knew why short-warping wasn't taught to all, she asked him if he could tell her about the elements, and asked about all that had been forgotten and that Blaze had been able to tell her, teach her,

The elder, she had never know his name, no one really did, had asked where she had heard about all of it, she told him about Blaze and the week at the valley, he wouldn't tell the others, at most he advised them when they were making mistakes, the elder stayed quiet for a bit before laughing, "Blaze you say? That name sounds... familiar, like the name of a friend, not seen in years." then he shook his head gently, saying he would tell her if he remembered anything about the name and had answered he questions.

For short-warping it had been as she thought, left as a sort of trial, to see who had the drive to be a strong leader, to see which endermen had the dedication to become strong enough to lead a group in the overworld. The elements, had mostly been forgotten, nothing more or less than that, the rest of the elders, most being able to use them, had never been asked about how to control them, they didn't want to teach it either, as that would make some endermen go rogue, thinking they were above the rules put in place since her title had been created. As for the rest the tricks to craft things faster, make better materials, and multiple kinds of weapons, they simply hadn't been needed after the war was over, there was no more need to make things quickly, while keeping them as strong, if not stronger, of course you could still find the materials, alloys, and items, in some places, some people still made them.

After the discussion, before she left, the elder told her that if she was looking for a weapon, a close range weapon, to use alongside short-warping, she should look into scythes, saying something about asking her new friend Blaze, with all the mischievousness of a teasing grandparent. She had left blushing at how he had said it, almost as if he thought she and Blaze were lovers.

The next day, she had left, taking all she had brought with her when returning, the armour now dyed the same colour as the rest of the clothes she wore, she did wear a shirt over it again, the bag had been died purple. It took her about half a day to get to the meetings location, as usual she was the first there, not counting the neutral mob, an envoy of the Aether, that was already there, some kind of robot, it had led her to the room she would occupy, sleep in, until the meeting took place and ended.

Then it had been a five days of waiting, waiting for every ruler to show up, greeting them and hanging out until the meeting. Of course no one had shown up until the third day, Cupa, princess of creepers, being the first one to arrive, wearing her usual dark green hoodie and bark coloured jeans, they exchanged quiet greetings, then came Yaebi and Skull, princes of zombies and skeletons respectively, Yaebi wearing ripped up clothes, he had probably taken off of a corpse, and skull wearing his grey shirt and sweatpants. Then, on the fourth day, came Venom, the one block tall cave spider prince, with his strange eight lens googles up on his almost white pink hair, followed by Silky, his sister, princess of spiders only half a block taller than him, eight pins in her dark blue hair, both of them wearing camouflage jumpsuits.

On the fifth day the Nether rulers had shown up, first Minerva, princes of whiter skeletons, wearing her dark grey jeans and tank-top. Then Gaius, prince of Ghasts, almost as tall as her, with white hair and black eyes, wearing only a white tunic. And finally, at the end of the day, Fiora, princess of blazes, arrived, acting high and mighty, flipping golden hair and looking at everyone with orange eyes filled with contempt, wearing a yellow tank-top and jean shorts. Now that everyone was present, apart from the slime and magma cube rulers, they never showed up, they would have one more day to hang out before the meeting. One more day for Blaze to show up.

Ok so The question: Should Blaze show up before or during the meeting?

That is it, review if you want to have a hand in how this story goes!
