Chapter 12
Information
They walked through the snow reflecting on the now non-existent building and life in general. They soon came to a temple that looked much like the one Aidan had plunged into nearly a month ago. With time on their hands they plunged into the temple.
The temple was dark and eerie. The light of the torched glanced over drawings of war and death. But the biggest thing they noticed was the number three. Three zombies, three creepers, and three… Heads? The monster he had seen nearly a month ago was in front of him again. But bigger… Much bigger. It was painted on a door that hadn't been opened in years. They hesitated. The looked at each other through the torch light. They both wanted to say something but they also didn't want to break the eerie silence. They pushed against the door but it didn't budge. Aidan hesitated to say something. "….. M…. Maybe we should look for a sw…switch." Aidan stuttered breaking the silence finally. Chloe nodded still not wanting to break the silence. They went down a corridor to where – they hoped – they would find the switch. (Assuming the switch was there.) The came to a small door that lead to a switch. "That was easy." Aidan said as Chloe pulled it. Then they heard something moving. Hoping it was the door they ran jogged down the corridor and back into the door room. The door was open and they walked in. The room was covered in moss and cobwebs. There was a horrible smell of 'death itself dyeing' as they put it. The first thing they saw was the thing on the door… But real. "AHHH!" they screamed. But then they saw it was dead. The sighed and hesitated to investigate more. Chloe went first grabbing the torch from Aidan's hand. Aidan caught up with Chloe to investigate the creature. It had chains around it and looked like it hadn't gone down without a fight. Aidan remembered something. He quickly took out the book he stole from the castle the week before. He had glanced at it seeing drawings of monsters and portals he never even heard of. He opened to the page with the three headed creature on it. "The Wither, this creature can only be summoned through a ritual (I will not include it for your safety). It has three black heads made of bone. The only report of this creature was back in 1690 A.D when it was summoned by 'accident' (I personally don't believe it was on accident). The creature killed its creator and terrorized people until a half-creeper half-human stepped up to kill the beast. After a long battle the warrior chained the beast up and built a temple around it. The warriors name was Kaila Jackmox." Aidan read not realizing what he just read. Chloe stared at him in amazement. "Th…That's Kaz's last name… And Kaz is a Creeper-human hybrid." Chloe said fitting the pieces together. They stared at each other with a new-found love for the other. "How 'bout that?" Aidan said hugging Chloe.
