Chapter 5

Back to Sjin and Eric.

"Be careful master, I fear there is some evil about this place" pleaded Eric no sooner had he said this when a growl trembled through woods that arched around the cave where the pair sat enjoying their breakfast. Sjin froze from fear believing Sips had sent something after him.

"Don't worry master I will not let anyone harm you".

Then Mors leapt out of the undergrowth, stealth being nether his strong point or preferred form of attack he was followed by Teep who a merged in a similar fashion, the pair then approached Eric who was standing protectively in front of Sjin who was cowering on the floor still believing Sips had sent this attack.

Mors not wanting to wait for his master or a command lunged with bearded teeth at Eric who some how managed to stumble back, miss the leaping wolves attack but not fall over and he still stayed in between Sjin and their attackers.

This angered Mors who cared not about the Enderman, he just wanted to see the nervous form of Sjin who was supposedly the cause of his masters pain and suffering suffer at his paws.

Then it was Teep's time to attack and he decided to take a more heads on well heads first attack by charging head first at the Enderman, now if his target was not an Enderman this strategy would have worked but since Eric is an Enderman it did not for Eric just blinked out of Teep's path which caused Teep to continue charging and he did so straight in to Mors who yelped like a puppy as Teep collided with his side sending him flying, while the commotion happened Rythian was standing a little way off watching in shame.

Mors growled and scratched at Teep which caused him to howl in both pain and rage the two then forgot about Sjin and Eric and started attacking each other for a few moments this was disturbed by Eric chuckling at the two squabbling on the floor.

Mors then leapt up hackles raised and teeth beard he ran at Sjin but Eric jumped in front and was ploughed in to by the flying Mors who knocked him to the floor but instead of backing away from his unintentional victim Mors started to snapped at the Endermans throat with his eyes blazing with the intentions to kill or badly injure this left Sjin free for attack and Teep seized it, seeing it as a chance to avenge Zoey, charged at Sjin and nocked him to floor and started clawing at Sjin's face and neck but just in time Eric escaped Mors' evil jaws and claws and flung himself at Teep throwing him to the ground and freeing Sjin who ran back from the violence that was unfolding in front of him.

Mors turned back to the Enderman who appeared to be the greatest threat of the two they had been sent to get. Eric was struggling from the attacks of both Teep and Mors he was unable to blink away through fear of the pair attacking Sjin and through exhaustion from his relentless attackers when Sjin realised he had to do something before it was too late but just as he was about to charge at Eric's attackers he was caught by Rythain who barked something to Mors and Teep who stopped attacking the Enderman and pulled him over to Rythain and Teep help Eric's hands behind his back forcing him to look up to Rythian then he growled "we have found the one you want Milord".

"You fools that is not the cause of the disturbance this is just a useless Enderman who has believed the lies of the disturbance this pathetic creature I have is the real cause of the disturbance so you can dispose of that thing if you see fit..."

"NO, LEAVE HIM ALONE" snapped Sjin his fire rising once again.

"Leave him" barked Rythian just as Mors was prepared to rip out Eric's throat, he slunk away like a cat forced to leave a mouse be but Teep still help his Eric's arms behind his back and refused to make eye contact with Rythian's deadly glare.

"Now if I leave him alone you must come with me as I have heard a great deal about you" bargained Rythian.

Eric tried to reason with Sjin and ignore Rythian's deal but Sjin could not leave his friend hear at the mercy of the Enderborn and his mob so agreed with Rythian but regretted this move straight away for no sooner had he shook Rythian's hand when Rythian barked an evil command "kill it, it has no use to me now as it's betrayal is not something I can accept and once a traitor always a traitor".

Eric was the first to respond "fine you may have caught me but you can never harm the true prince of the end Sjin, my friend and master who it has been a pleasure to know and serve.." But before Rythian could bring Enderbane down on Eric a creeper burst through the trees and ploughed in to Rythian and caused Teep to jump back forgetting he was supposed to be holding Eric down now the numbers were balanced, Rythian, Mors and Teep against Eric, Sjin who had become fierce and battle ready once again and the creeper who had leaped to Eric aid, both side where ready of battle when a booming voice sounded from deep under ground.

"Stop" it boomed "this is a battle not to be had least of all before all know their parts and paths" and with that an end portal appear in between the two sides and out of it leapt more Endermen, some forced Rythian, Mors and Teep back while the others called Eric, Sjin and the creeper in.

"Come Lord Sjin we have been expecting you" they called, "have no fear we will explain all".

Sensing Sjin's fears Eric grabbed Sjin by the arm and pulled him in to the portal, the pair were quickly followed by the creeper and the guard Endermen. No sooner had all jumped in the portal closed leaving Rythian who collapsed on the floor and flayed his fists like a child having a strop.
