Chapter 10: Twilight

"Morning sleepy head!"

I rolled out of bed in surprise as Elda woke me up. "Ugh…how'd you get in?"

"I can teleport, dummy!" she said, giggling "and unlike most Enders, water won't stop me"

I sighed, getting up "ok, nothing I can do, I guess" I said.

"You know, I was thinking" Elda said "what if I joined you?"

I looked at her blankly "what?"

"The End is boring!" she complained "I want some excitement…and what's more exciting than a human on an adventure?"

"Well…" I said "we only have three beds…"

"I can get you material!" Elda said "speaking of which, did you know that each mob princess has a material she has a TON of?"

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

In response, she threw an ender pearl at me. I was lucky to catch it "I have backpacks full of backpacks full of backpacks full of those" she said "well…that's an exaggeration, but I have a practically unlimited supply"

Aqua woke up "oh…morning Alex" she said, getting up "morning Elda"

"Morning!" Elda replied happily. "Oh, here you go Alex" she gave me a book.

I read the title "The Void?"

"''The Void' is the revised copy of 'The Book of Dimensions'" Elda said "since the Void surrounds everything, this book focuses more on centering things around it, instead of it around everything else. It also describes the void better"

"Good to know" I said.

"Once Blazette gets up, we can go to the End" Elda said.

"You'd need my Blaze Rods" Blazette said, waking up "and I don't think it's a good idea, not yet"

"Oh yea…my mom doesn't take kindly to visitors…" Elda said. She thought for a moment "oh! We can get things from the Twilight!"

"Twilight?" I asked.

"Read it" she said.

I flipped through the book, and found the page past the End. "Besides the basic dimensions, there are other, more complex ones" it read "the first of these is the Twilight, more commonly known as Twilight Forest." I stopped. I had heard of Twilight Forest, but I had never actually played with it…at least, not a lot.

"Why'd you stop?" Aqua asked.

"Elda, I don't know the first thing about the Twilight" I said.

"That's why you have the book, silly" she said "keep reading"

"The twilight forest is what humans would call 'Fairy Tale Land'" it read "it has lots of odd structures, and forest animals, usual and unusual, roam the forests. Small birds, chipmunks, bunnies, even deer's and rams inhabit these forests. You can even find penguins on glaciers!"

Aqua's face lit up "Penguins?" she asked

"They're flightless birds that live in the cold" I said "you can see one late"

"I've never seen one, but I heard they were worth it" Elda said "but keep reading"

"Besides the normal dangers, there are large towers that creatures build" it read "there are two types: Lich towers and Dark towers, both similar to each other. These towers are a lot like dungeons, and have a multitude of rewards. The Lich tower, which holds the Lich, can be found almost anywhere, but Dark towers are most commonly found in dark forests, and hold the Ur-Ghast"

"THAT'S who we want" Elda said "the Ur-Ghast is a formidable foe, but well worth it. He can give us a lot of good items, but he can also help us get better gear."

I nodded "what about the Lich?" I asked.

"I'd stay away from him; everyone who's faced him never comes back" Elda said "but keep reading"

"All of this is useless if you can't get there" I read "the portal requires a 4-by-4 pool of water with twelve plants surrounding the pool. A diamond is required to activate it."

"You have a diamond and a bucket, right?" Elda asked.

"I do" I said.

"Good, we can make the portal now!" she replied.

"I remember hearing about Twilight" Blazette said, already up "Carminite Ghast guards can talk with normal Ghasts"

"Makes sense" I said.

"Well, who wants to go to fair-tale land?" Elda asked.

"Well, let's find some flowers" I said.

"Done" Elda said, holding up 12 flower cards.

"I can take case of the water" Aqua said "I'll be right back" she took a bucket and ran off.

"There's a nearby river, she'll be fine" Elda assured me "in the mean time, let's work on the framing" she walked outside and whistled loudly. Four enderman appeared.

"Whoa" I said

"Pretty cool, huh?" she asked. She turned to the endermen "2 by 2 hole, ok?" they nodded, and each one took a block of grass and gave it to Elda.

The moment she grabbed the blocks, they turned into cards. "Wow…" I said.

"Thanks boys, you can go" she said. The endermen disappeared.

"I got the water!" Aqua said. She was walking back with a bucket of water, and three other water-bucket cards "I found other buckets!"

"Ok, dump them here" I said, pointing to the hole.

As Aqua dumped the water, giving Blazette the empty buckets, Elda planted yellow flowers surrounding the hole. When they were done, I took out the diamond.

"Ok, stand back" I said. The others stepped back, and I threw it in…nothing happened.

"Did you do it right?" Blazette asked.

"I've planted this hundreds of times" Elda said "I know that was right"

"Maybe it just doesn't work for me" I said.

"It should" Elda said.

I sighed "whatever, I'm picking it up" I said. I walked up and went to grab the diamond.

"Alex, what are you doing?" Elda yelled.

"Getting my diamond back" I said. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

"Alex, get out of there!" Blazette said.

Before I could react, I heard a loud bang, and I flew back. I blurrily looked at the pool of water as lightning struck it, turning the water into purple portal energy. The last thing I saw was Elda getting me a potion…then I passed out.

Yay! Another chapter done! I'm making incredible progress with this story…probably because I keep getting ideas. I decided to include as many dimensions as I can, to make the story a bit more interesting, so I included the Twilight dimension…which I know very little about. Remember: I love criticism, reviews encourage me, and I'm open to input. Bye for now!
