Midnight was upon the kingdom and everything was silent. Except… in the castle. The twins Brian and Elizabeth had turned 17 just two days before. This was the first full moon of their 17th age. And Nether was breaking loose. The one thing they had
never told anyone was their family blood. Their mother was queen of the Nether and their father was King of the End. Together, they held the three worlds together, but they were getting old. Their children would each inherit a world. Notch, the oldest
was now 20, and he ruled the over world. Elizabeth and Brian's powers would reveal themselves today, for better or worse. Elizabeth's eyes had flashed purple before and Brian's eyes had gained a fiery glow. In just two days the king and queen had
understood that Elizabeth took after her father and Brian took after his mother. This night, in the quiet, cold darkness, the heirs were changing. Elizabeth stood in the library with her father, where she felt most comfortable, surrounded by books.
Currently though, she felt no happiness or comfort. She could feel an old instinct trying to break through. Her father was speaking to her soothingly in the original language of the dragons, trying to calm her. She took slow, steady breaths but she
knew she couldn't fight it any longer. She felt her teeth sharpening. Suddenly she had a desire to lash out at her father. How dare he try to suppress a part of her! She shook her head. That wasn't her thinking. She looked up at her father. "Tie
me up!" She cried. "I don't want to hurt you!" She heard her brother from across the castle yell and shout in agony. She lost her concentration. She looked up at her father and realised she lost the battle. The transformation happened
so quickly she didn't have time to fight it. Suddenly she was a dragon. A dragon with a hunger for blood. She struggled with her own mind. This wasn't her! She couldn't control her body. She tried to build a wall between her true self and the monster
that had taken over. Meanwhile, Brian's eyes were flashing from a stark white and back to his original blue. He looked at his mother, a deep fear consuming him. He shouted in agony. His mother had backed against the wall. Fear creeping across her
face. Brian knew he couldn't control himself much longer. "You need to leave!" He shouted tiredly. She shook her head. "I won't leave you!" She told him. A tear fell down his cheek. He heard a roar and his eyes widened. He looked
at his mother and she looked up. The original roar was accompanied by a series of cries and growls. They heard wings flapping and suddenly the roof fell in. Brian lost his train of thought and his eyes became white. They did not change back. He shook
his head, "You should have left when I told you!" An evil smile crept upon his face. A smile that did not belong to him. Fire grew in his hands. His mother seemed to shrink before his power. She no longer could help him. She knew this was
the end.
The ruined Brian left his dead mother and flew out to see what had happened to his sister. He was curious to see how this turned out. He sat in the remains of the roof, and a devilish smile dancing across his face. He looked up at the cloudy sky and saw
two dragons wrestling. One looked old and tired, it was obviously losing. The other was young and strong. It clawed at him, tearing him apart. The old dragon's body fell to the ground, and it transformed back into the figure of the king. Then, a cloud
passed over the moon. Brian collapsed. Elizabeth plummeted through the sky. She turned back into her small, weak body. She fell through the sky. Suddenly, a figure with a glowing chest, who emitted power stronger than ever before, flew to Elizabeth's
falling body. They flew to the ground and gently lowered Elizabeth onto the ground. They pulled their hood down so they could more fully see the damage that had woken them. Rebecca looked at her surroundings and sighed. She put a hand to her chest,
which held the Nether Star. She knew this was going to happen. She could have prevented it. She hung her head in shame. The clouds filled the sky, blocking the moon from view. She brought Brian down next to his sister then sat in a tree and kept watch
all night long, but nothing happened. At the break of dawn she returned to her home. The next day, Notch returned from his foreign travels to see a hooded figure fleeing the castle. As he turned his attention to his home, all he could see were ruins.
He saw his father on the ground covered in blood. On the other side of the wreckage was Elizabeth and Brian, covered in scratches and burns, pained looks on their sleeping faces. Notch's face burned with anger. He immediately knew what had happened.
A single tear fell down his cheek as he marched over to his younger siblings. His shouts could be heard all around the kingdom. The guards who had been escorting Notch looked at each other knowing that the worst had happened, just not how. Then Notch
said the three words that no one would have expected. "You are BANISHED!" He yelled, grief forming between his words. Elizabeth and Brian sat in tears, fully understanding why Notch did what he did. They knew where they must go. They would
go where they could no longer hurt anyone, not even each other. They would be in total isolation. With his powers, Notch opened two portals leading to the twins respecting worlds. The Nether and The End. The two stood up and walked through the portals.
Rebecca ran over as fast as she could, she saw Brian's foot disappear into the portal, then they closed. She ran straight up to Notch. The guards were too stunned to reprimand her. She punched him in the face. "They are your BROTHER AND SISTER!"
She shouted. "My only friends.." her voice broke. She fell to her knees at his feet and tears poured down her face. "Please..!" She cried. "Bring them back!" Notch looked distastefully at her and with a hint of regret
in his voice he said, " I cannot. I have made my decision. If you were smart you would understand." She looked up at him and realised no amount of begging would bring them back. She stood up, a hard look on her face. Tears still coming down
her cheeks. She looked him up and down, then slapped him. She began to storm away when she spun around and spit at him. Then she whirled around. Her fiery red hair glowed a bit more brighter and her eyes became a solid white. She was changed. She
would never be the same. As she walked away, one last tear was shed for her lost friends and lost memories. That would be the last time she cried for 1000 years. The Nether Star burned in her chest and she flew away, not caring about the gasps and
shouts that came from the guards.
