"Fire-Frost, you have been a valuable asset to our Council over these past years of your service. You have proved yourself far wiser than your experience and age would indicate. And now, we must prove that knowledge yet again," said the Head of Council, sitting solemnly behind his desk. Firenze sat in front of it, feeling rather like a schoolchild in his headmaster's office.
"One of the miners found an odd rock which seems to have magical properties – what exactly those properties are, you must find out. The substance is in Vault 74. Do not disappoint me." Firenze nodded, stood and left, feeling his superior's eyes on his back the entire journey out of the room.
The instant he set eyes on the black chunk of rock, Firenze recognised it with a lurch of the heart. He studied it and examined it intently, but there was no mistaking it for anything other than obsidian. He sighed and left, hearing the iron casing slide into place and the locking system sealing with a clunk.
As Firenze walked home, he almost bumped into Mike. A sudden brainwave hit him and he requested a book, ancient and powerful, from the library. Ever a good friend, Mike immediately set off for it, and Firenze hurried home to gather books and research any way of diverting the imminent disaster he predicted would occur. He knew in his heart he would fail, that there was nothing that could be done, but he knew he had to try. It was his duty to Minecraftians everywhere to try.
Woooo! I finally wrapped this up! I really wanted to finish this, but you have no idea how many times I had to rewrite this chapter. Still, it's out now, so remember to R/R!
N.B. now I'm done with this, I can get started on the Sequel of Mysteriosity, so it won't be too long to wait.
