"Lukas, I know it's daytime, but watch our backs." Petra asked of the blonde, who nodded and started to look behind the group. "The trees are so huge! I LOVE IT!" Ivor shouted in joy, while jumping around the jungle biome that we were walking through to get back to the temple. I let out a small groan, before covering my ears once again. I was getting a headache from his shouting and yelling and screaming. "Ugh, why did we have to bring him with us." Petra asked nobody in particular. "Well, you can't deny that when it comes to knowing about our history, Ivor knows the most out of all of us." Jesse replied, though he seemed like he was also getting annoyed with Ivor's constant yelling. "And he's good for a laugh." Jess said, looking passive about everything. "That's easy for you to say, you don't have sensitive hearing." I said, finally uncovering my ears. I checked my hands to make sure my ears were not literally bleeding. "Yeah, he does tend to yell a lot." Lukas agreed. "Sometimes I think that's the only way he communicates." Petra joked. "No kidding." I said, just as Ivor began to shout about the trees once more. "This is WONDERFUL!" "Can we just be quiet until we get to the temple Ivor?" I asked him, wincing. Oh great, a headache "Fine, fine." He grumbled back at me, and I let out a small sigh of relief.
Finally we were back at the temple, and Ivor was back to bouncing around like a child. "This is AMAZING!" "It does look cool." Lukas said, though it was much quieter than Ivor's screeching. "It looks better during the day too." Jess said, looking at the temple calmly. "Well, let's go find the Eversource." Jesse said, walking into the temple. All of us followed.
"Petra, Kyle, blond guy! Are just excited?" Ivor pretty much screamed at us. "Hard to be as excited as you are." Petra replied, heading over to the center of the room, before looking at the trapdoor. "What is that supposed to mean?" Ivor demanded of her. "Nothing Ivor." Lukas said, giving him a grin. I walked to the left of the room, noticing that the area where vines were growing out from last time now had a hole at the very top. Jesse and Jess seemed to notice where I was looking. "Well, that looks promising." Jess said. "Hey guys." Jesse called everyone over.
"Well, that's new." Petra said, looking up at the hole in the ceiling. "I'll go up first." Jess said as she grabbed the vines. "We'll follow you." Lukas replied, looking at her. Jess climbed up the vines first, then Lukas, then Jesse, Petra, me, and Ivor was last. When we got up, Jess and Lukas were staring at a pressure plate that was on the ground. "Well, this looks promising." Jess said, as she stepped on it. I so badly wanted to yell out that it could have been a trap, when the wall in front of us began to shift.
A moment later, an unlit portal appeared, made up of blocks of gold and blocks of quartz. I blinked. "A portal?" "What type of portal is that?" Lukas asked, looking at it closer. "And where does it lead?" Jesse seemed to ask himself. "Wait – can't one of your enchanted flint and steels light it?" Ivor asked, looking at Jesse and Jess. "Maybe.." Jesse said, pulling out his 'key'. "Be careful." Petra said. Jesse nodded, before heading over to the portal, and lighting it.
The unexpected backlash from lighting the portal sent Jesse flying backwards, the flint and steel being thrown further back than he was. "Are you okay?" Petra asked him, as she ran over to check on him. "Yeah, I'm-" "Well, thanks for giving this to me, Jesse!" A voice snapped out. We all turned to see that Aidan was holding Jesse's enchanted flint and steel, Maya and Gill standing behind him with grins on their faces. "Give that back Aidan!" Lukas yelled at his former friend. "Why? So your leader can fall on his ass again?" "You don't even understand the power that contains!" I snarled at him. "Oh, and you do?" Aidan snapped. "More than you do!" I bared my teeth. I really hated this guy.
"How about you and your little gang just let us go through that portal?" Aidan asked, though it was more of a demand. "How about you give back what you took?" Jess snarked. Aidan let out a weak growl. "That's it! Let's make some room!" Maya and Gill both smirked before pulling out their swords, and before most of us could get our swords out, they attacked us. I let out a snarl as Gill tried to kill Jesse, before grabbing his sword with my hands, and shoving him aside with my tail – effectively pulling his sword out of his hands. "Thanks." Jesse said, as he got up. Jess and Lukas were taking on Maya, they were handling her well, so I looked around for Aidan, to see that he had beaten Ivor in a fight, and was now running towards the portal. "Let's go!" He shouted, as he ran through it. Maya and Gill ran past us, following their leader to an unknown world.
"Oh great." Petra said, glaring at the portal. "Where does that even lead?" Lukas asked, looking in horror at the portal. "I don't know, but we have to go through! Who knows what kind of trouble they are causing on the other side of this portal?" Jess said, looking around at everyone. I nodded in agreement. "They could be causing some real destruction." "Should we go back for Axel and Olivia?" "We don't have the time!" Ivor shouted. "Let's just go!" Petra yelled. We all ran through the light blue portal, and into the unknown.
I grunted as I fell to the ground. I looked around to see that Jess had pulled Ivor from the edge of the... dirt island that we were stuck on. Jesse, Lukas, and Petra had all landed, thankfully, on the island as well. "You know, you weigh more than expected." Jess panted. "I am the proportanate weight for my height, thank you very much!" Ivor snapped in between his own panting. "Everyone okay?" Jesse asked, looking around to see that all of our group was safely on the island. Everyone let out confirmations that they were okay. "Well thank goodness for that." Petra sighed.
I walked over to the one edge that nobody had seemed to look over at, and gasped. "Guys, I think you should see this." Everyone slowly turned and came to see what I was looking at, everyone letting out their own gasps of shock. "A city in the sky." Lukas said in wonder. The giant city was nearly glowing in the sunlight, the mostly vibrant yellows clashing with the light blue sky. "Wow..." I said, looking at how beautiful the city looked.
"If the Blaze Rods didn't land here, then they probably landed inside that city." Jess said, shaking her head slightly. "And that could mean that that city is in trouble." Jesse finished, looking at the city with concern now. "But how do we get over there?" Petra asked, more as a joke than anything, as she began to look through her inventory for any blocks we could use. "I have some cobblestone and some sand- sand not being useful to make a bridge." Lukas said, as he held out the cobblestone. "I have some dirt and some wood blocks." Petra added her blocks to the pile Lukas had started. "I only have some stone." I put my blocks with the others. "We just have some dirt and cobblestone." Jess and Jesse added their blocks to the pile. "Would this be enough to make a bridge that far away?" Lukas asked, looking over at me, glancing at my wing, before looking away again. 'Well, I guess that was a really bad time to get a useless wing.' I thought to myself, bitterly.
"Well, we can always take some dirt blocks away from this island." Jesse stated, looking over the edge to see what was below. "Yeah, we have plenty to work with." He said, as he pulled himself back up. "Well, lets get to digging." Ivor said. We began to dig down, through the island, and once we were literally only on one block of dirt each...
"Stop pushing!" Petra yelled out. "I'm not pushing, Ivor is pushing!" Jess snapped at her. "I'm just trying to keep away from the edge!" Ivor pretty much screamed. "It's ALL edge!" Petra barked at him. "Let's just get to building!" Jesse yelled over the noise. And soon, we were at the edge of the city, with only a few blocks left in our inventory. "Really Ivor?" Petra demanded, and I looked back at the bridge to see that there was a dirt skull beside the bridge, with lava pouring out of it. "It's in memory of my lava house. LONG LIVE LAVA!" Ivor shouted out, once again. "You're building." A strange voice said, clearly scared. "Huh?" We all turned to see that someone wearing some weird clothes was staring at them, terror in his eyes. "Yeah, we are, is- is there something wrong with that?" Lukas asked. "Yes! It's against the law!" The guy yelled out. I shifted my feet, really tired of people yelling and screaming in my ears. The guy finally seemed to notice me, and he let out a scream of pure terror, before running inside the city. "Well, that was helpful." I said, sardonically, watching as the guy ran around a corner. "Well, we can always just figure out where he went." Jesse said, trying to comfort me. "Yeah, he can't be that hard to find!" Petra said, looking at me with a smile on her face. "Yeah, it's pretty easy to tell where he's been when he was so scared, I could smell the terror on him." I blinked at them. "Well... That should make it even easier to find him then." Lukas said, clearly not as used to me saying stuff like that. I snorted. "Yeah, super easy." I said, awkwardly twitching my tail tip on the ground. "Okay, let's go find him." Petra said, as she, Jesse, and Jess began to walk into the city. Lukas, Ivor, and I followed after them, with me sniffing the air for the guy's fear-scent.
"Through there." I said, pointing at, what I presumed was the guy's house, based on how prominant his scent was there. "Okay, let's go clear some stuff up." Jess said, and we began walking around a human made pond, before finally reaching our destination. Jess gently knocked on the door. "W-who's there?" The guy asked through the door. "It's us, and we just want to talk about what's going on here." Jess said, sounding very diplomatic. "Oh, why can't you just leave me alone!" It sounded like the guy in there was... sobbing. "You don't have to open the door." I said, trying to express calmness in my voice. "But what's this about building being against the law?" "I-i-it's the Founder's rule!" He shouted, before adding in a more quiet voice that nobody else could hear. "Please don't kill me." I ignored that last part.
