Chapter 5- The Villager in The Nether
A/N: Hello everybody, and welcome back to Quest For the End!
Aqua: Today, Endra, Upendi, Aqua, and Gloria visit the Nether, and the Villager that lives there.
Summer: Who will be able to figure out who Upendi is.
Winter: The end will be very surprising.
Solar: And shocking. In other words, it's a plot twist.
Pretty much. Anywho...
All: Enjoy! :D
Upendi stared at the portal in front of her. "So...What is this?"
"The Nether Portal," Endra answered, walking to the black frame. "It'll take us to the Nether."
"Not quite yet," Gloria entered the room. "It's not activated. " She took out two things. One appeared to be a type of metal, and the other was something black and shiny.
"What's that?" Upendi asked, taking a step back.
"Flint and steel," Gloria walked to the portal and did...something...with the flint and steel. Next thing Upendi knew, the empty spot in the frame was purple and transparent, with swirl patterns that seemed to be moving.
"The heck..."
"Flint and steel activates the portal," Aqua explained. "I have no idea why, but it does. Life is so confusing sometimes..." She sighed as she jumped into the portal, and disappeared.
Upendi yelped. "What happened to her?!"
"Calm down, Upendi," Endra slightly laughed. "She just went through the portal. She's in the Nether now."
"A-Alright..."
"Now we just need to go in."
"What?!" Upendi ran away, and bumped into the closed door. "Ow!"
Endra sighed. "You won't get hurt or anything. We're going to the place where the Villager In The Nether is."
"He needs an abbreviation..." Upendi whispered as the two went into the portal.
Everything was purple, and swirling. The four walked through the violet land, their footsteps echoing.
"This is pretty cool," Gloria grinned.
"It is," Aqua agreed. "I never thought we'd be walking through a purple place, with swirls all around us."
"You get used to it after a while," Endra said, walking in front. "Especially after doing this practically a thousand times. We should be in the Nether very soon."
"So, how exactly is this Nether Villager going to tell me who I am?" Upendi asked. "I mean, I know he's good at that, but I still don't know how he's going to do it."
"I...actually don't know either," Endra shrugged. "But we'll know once we get to the Nether. Come on, we're almost there."
The first thing Upendi noticed was that the Nether was hot.
Very hot.
"I'm melting," Aqua groaned as the three walked through the dimension. "Are we there yet?!"
"Oh my dragons, Aqua, we were here for two minutes," Endra glared at her friend. "It's not like we're in a volcano."
"You might as well say we are! It's hot, we're below the surface, it's hot, there's lava, it's hot, we could lose our lives here, it's-"
"It's hot, isn't it?"
The four yelped and looked up. On a platform made of some kind of brick, a villager in a white robe was staring at them. He smiled. "I apologize if I startled you. I am the Villager In The Nether."
"We kind of knew that," Aqua crossed her arms.
"Aqua!" Endra covered Aqua's mouth. "This is a very great man! Don't be mean!"
"It is alright, Princess Endra," The Villager held up a hand. "I have heard things like this before."
"Really?" Upendi gasped. "That's awful! You seem really nice!"
"Yeah, actually," Aqua nodded, mouth no longer covered. "You're kind of a Captain Obvious, but otherwise you're pretty cool."
"Yeah," Gloria stepped forward along with Endra. "Anyway, Mr...Villager..."
"Just call me Villager."
"Okay. Villager, we came here because this girl..." Endra glanced at Upendi. "...woke up in the Overworld, with no memory of her life. She only knows her name...and her age."
"I see," The Villager jumped down from his platform-which actually wasn't very high-and walked to Upendi. "Young one, what is your name?"
"U-Upendi, M-Mister..." Upendi shrunk back. Endra put a hand on her shoulder. "E-Endra said we're five years apart."
The Villager nodded. "What happened when you first woke up?"
"W-Well, I woke up in a forest at night. Then an arrow suddenly went in my arm. I saw a skeleton. He shot another arrow, which I avoided. I then ran through the forest, and bumped into Endra. She took me to her house, where I met Aqua, and then we went to Enderville, and now we're here."
"So, you woke up in a forest, and you don't know how you got there?"
"Yes, Mr. Villager."
The Villager turned to Endra. "What happened when you took Upendi to your house, Princess Endra?"
"Well, when we went inside, Aqua looked up from her book. When I explained everything to her, she asked a couple of questions, and when I answered them she said..." Endra gulped. "She said it might be her."
The Villager nodded. "I will see." He turned to Upendi. "Give me your hand."
"O-Okay..." Upendi whispered, doing what she was told. The second their hands touched, everything went black.
The humans jumped through some kind of portal. Upendi suddenly was flying up, in some person's arms. They landed on a black pillar, and suddenly a blue portal appeared. She could hear blocks being placed on the portal.
"I wish I didn't have to do this..." She heard a voice whisper. "But I want you to be safe..."
Upendi was suddenly pulled into an embrace by a girl. "I love you, Upendi...Goodbye..."
She was then thrown into the portal, and the last thing she saw were a pair of purple eyes filled with tears.
"Upendi?"
"Huh?" Upendi looked around the dark world. "Where am I?"
"You are just unconscious, Upendi."
"Uh, okay?"
"When you wake up, you will find out who you really are."
"Well, that's a good thing," Upendi smiled.
"You will save lives."
"Whoa, wait, what?!" Upendi's eyes widened. "Uh, slow down there, I'm going to save people? I don't even know myself yet!"
"Do not worry, little one. You will find out who you are very soon. And we will meet again."
"Really?" Upendi blinked. "Well, that's...nice...I'll see you when we meet, I guess?"
"Indeed. Goodbye, Upendi. Don't give up on hope."
"What?"
Upendi awoke with a gasp. She took a step back. "Whoa..."
"Upendi..." Aqua whispered. "A-Above your head..."
Upendi looked up, and saw a type of crystal.
"What the heck..."
"That is an Ender Crystal," The Villager told her.
It was an Ender Crystal.
An Ender Crystal.
"So...I'm an Ender Crystal?"
Upendi heard someone facepalm.
"No, if a symbol appears above your head, it means you are a child of a certain deity."
"What's a..."
"Upendi's the daughter of a dragon?!" Gloria shouted.
"Indeed," The Villager smiled wider. "She is the daughter of the..."
"Enderdragon," Endra whispered. "S-So that means..."
Endra didn't need to finish that sentence. Upendi knew what she was going to say.
This was what the voice was talking about. She finally knew who she was. And that might just mean she's going to save at least one person in her life...perhaps a world.
"Yes, Endra," The Villager nodded. "This is the girl you've been looking for."
Everyone gasped.
"This," The Villager continued. "Is your sister."
