Minecraft: Ender-Wars
Book 2: The Quest Begins
"What did you call me?" Steve asked as he followed the priest to his home across the street from the church, which has some creeper guts splattered on the door from the earlier explosion. "Chosen One, I am sure you have many questions. I will try my best to answer." They all walked to into the priest's house, Endyra having to duck in order to fit into the doorway of the priest's house and Steve and the priest began to talk. "So. If I am the Chosen One, what was I chosen to do?" Steve asked the priest as the priest got out a large wooden bowl and several powders and potions from a cupboard. "Ah… That is what I am about to show you." The priest replied, setting the bowl on a table and pouring all of the ingredients into the bowl in very precise amounts. "The road one takes may not be the first road you see." The priest added with a smirk, thinking he is being so funny by trying to confuse Steve even further.
After a while of adding and pouring and mixing, something magical happened. "Behold…" The priest said. "The prophecy…" Then a green smoke rose from the bowl in thick plumes, each plume showing a picture. The first one shows Steve's plane crashing and the priest says, "The Chosen One shall arrive on a flaming iron bird and spend many days living in the wood with the banished one…" At this he looked at Endyra with a look that said "Well, you have some explaining to do." Then he returned to watching the prophecy. The next plume of smoke was black and showed horrible faces of creepers and skulls and zombies and spiders. "From the dark an army shall rise. Unholy terrors shall plague us… But the chosen one shall push them back." The plume then showed Steve driving back the faces with a shining sword. Then from outside there was a noise of dozens of footsteps, and the plumes stopped, and the priest passed out.
Steve and Endyra looked out the window to see hundreds of zombies and cursed skeletons running towards the village. Both of them go the priest to a safe spot and then rushed to the blacksmith. Steve found the two best swords he could find but Endyra was already in the fray with her bare hands, her skeletal fingers have extended into scythe blade like claws and the fire in her eyes burns more intensely. Steve also noticed she had a mouth now, a hideous mouth that you wouldn't expect a female of any species to have besides maybe a troll to have. It was a large protruding jaw line with massive razor sharp teeth. She was ripping, clawing even biting through the hoards of the undead that were advancing on the village. Steve got a sword and joined the fray, his mighty broadsword clanging against the rusty, ancient armor of his undead foes. He glanced over at Endyra every once and a while to see she was either moving very fast or using some sort of teleporting magic. Every time she would disappear in a column of purple static as if she was a graphic on a computer screen, then she would reappear the same way. They thought until the daylight first showed, then they zombies and skeletons retreated into caves where the burning sunlight wouldn't touch them. Endyra calmed down, her mouth disappeared, her eyes simmered down a bit and her fingers became more or less normal aside from how skeletal they are. She put her hood back on and picked up her umbrella from the front step of the priests house and went back to where Steve stood there breathing heavily after the long fight.
Now Steve looked at Endyra straight in the eyes and said, "Okay. Now what is with the 'Banished One' business? Are you not telling me something?" Endyra just seemed to blush, her eyes darting back and forth looking for something to change the topic, but Steve was just glaring at her she felt like she would die. Then she finally said, "I am not the only one of my kind…" Steve looked at her with a triumphant grin and kept waiting for her to explain fully. "You see… You may not know this but… I am blind, and in my world blindness is worse than murder." Then Steve looked confused and asked, "Then why aren't you stumbling around all the time?" To this Endyra answered, "My people have what you humans call a sixth sense. We can see the aura of all living things; or things that were given life, like the zombies we just fought." Steve looked surprised; not knowing such a sixth sense existed in any race. But then something dawned on Steve, then he asked, "What do you mean 'your kind'?"
Back in the house of the priest, Steve and Endyra were once again talking to the priest about this so called prophecy. "Ah, yes. So you now know of your partner's hidden shame." The priest said with a smile. "Good. Now, let me tell you the rest that you need to know." The priest added, as he got out a large book with many ancient texts in it. "It says here that you must travel many miles, go through… A fire under earth to meet a man who's sins are long since paid for? That can't be right! Earth extinguishes fire." But before the priest could rant any further Endyra said, "I think I know what it means… Thank you." And with that, Endyra took Steve's hand and walked out to the edge of the village.
She did not take another step until Steve looked up at her and said, "Why aren't we going anywhere?" At that moment Endyra picked up Steve and cradled him in her arms like a mother does to a baby. "Hold on" She said. "I have never done this with more than one person…" with that Endyra closed her eyes, the world seemed to fade away around them in a shroud of static. They reappeared briefly in what looked like a desert. It had pure white sand and no wind or noise, the sky was a strange artificial black and other creatures like Endyra roamed about aimlessly. Steve saw in the distance a massive creature that looked like a dragon. Then that world faded away and the real world materialized around them, but instead of the empty field being there, they were at the camp. Endyra opened her eyes again and put Steve down. Then Steve asked, "Where were we just then?" Then Endyra replied with, "The End… It is where I was born. I was cast out because Dragon saw me as a weakness to the rest of the world. I know he was the one that created the zombies and skeletons. He is the one who we must stop because I to have studied the prophecy and it says if we fail, all worlds are lost. But I do know where to go next. We are going to need a lot of obsidian…"
