Subs POV:
We were searching the room we were in. For some reason, the door Mitch broke through dissapeared, along with the wooden splinters. Jason quessed that the building was shifting due to some sort of magic, and it took a while for them to let me leave the group to cover more ground before everything shifted again. We decided to see if we missed anything inside this room. I was alone, the others were on the other side of this impossibly huge place. The area around me was mostly dark, but I don't have eyes, so it barely bothered me. I gave a silent sigh of boredom as I walked around.
Ssundee was worrying me a little. He just recovered from death not that long ago, and he is already running around as though he is fine. Then again, he's acting a bit like that horrid Herobrine. I can tell that murderous creature isn't feeling all that well either, but he is hiding it. I suddenly feel something odd, and I turned around, not seeing anything. I shrug it off, and continue to see if anything was against the walls. I put down the hood on my jacket because I never liked hiding my faceless...face. I am a Noppera-bo, which explains why I have no face. Although, I have no idea how to use my powers of deception magic towards others, and I have a soul. I don't have an aura, only magic capabilities. Deception magic was only used by my kind, and from what I heard, it was hard to master. Father was great with his deception magic, and was even able to control people for short amounts of time. Mother, though, didn't like to scare humans. My people usually disguised themselves as a dead relative of someone, and at a moments noticed, they would make their faces dissapear. It once scared an old man into dying, which is why when father dissapeared, mother never taught me how to use my abilities. I always wonder if that was the reason I had a soul, but I usually didn't think about it. We aren't really a type of creature to hurt others, which is why I didn't bash that monsters head in...heh. I quess I'm an actual monster, but I never killed an innocent person. I was about to ask if anyone found anything in my chat, but I felt a presence behind me. I slowly turned, seeing something a transparent white. It was all fuzzy, and I silently screamed, I was actually seeing a ghost. It slowy stretched something like an arm out towards me, and I was going to start up my magic before it touched me. But someone suddenly appeared in front of me, slicing the ghost in half with an obsidian sword. I quickly put back up my hood as I internally glared at Herobrine, not really happy that he killed a ghost, I really wish I could form a face with deception magic, I was really growing tired of being mute, but mother never taught me.
"What? Ghosts in the Nether are usually mobs, and that one was a ghost of a zombie. Don't ask me how that happened." I quess he noticed that crossing my arms meant that I wasn't happy. He sighed, making the obsidian sword dissapear. "Sky thought it would be a good idea to help you look on this side. How does that sound?" He suggested, and I instantly put in the chat.
"No. I am capable of finding things on my own, so get lost." He looked at me oddly, a look on confusion on his face. I could sense a question coming.
"Why don't you talk?" He asked, and I almost shoved back my hoodie to show him. I just turned away from him, walking in another direction.
"I'm mute, genius." I could see his face turn from confusion to guilt.
"Sorry. I should have peiced that together without asking that." He said, but I ignored him. I suddenly got worried, and not for him. I sharply turned around, my picaxe back in my hand.
"How do I know that this isn't a trick? How do I know that you just didn't kill everyone and showed up here?" He glared at me for a second, only to sigh in defeat.
"If you don't trust me, then lets go back to the group." I don't know why, but I followed him back to where they should be. The room seemed to change, and we found the wall far to quickly. He cursed under his breath and knocked on the wall.
"Sky, are you behind here?" There was no response, so I opened the chat. Usually, my magic would only allow me to use it, but I made it so they could answer at certain times.
"Guys, the room shrunk, where are you?" After a few minutes, there was a reply. Unfortunately it wasn't normal. I started to fear that something happened to them.
"Hello, SubZeroExtabyte. And Goodbye."I cursed in my head, and the words disappeared quickly, whoever it was, made it so the chat wouldn't work. I tried to speak through it, but it didn't work.
"Well, how are you going to talk now?" Herobrine asked, and I tried to find any hint of him being rude, but he was...genuinely concerned. I just shrugged, and started to walk in a random direction. My magic flowed around me, lighting up the room brighter than what his eyes could do. He stared at me as we walked, and I tried not to notice. He was probably wondering why I had pure magic. It was basically telling him, I was not human at all, and not even an alien like Jason. I was something some would consider a mob, but my people have more brains then them. I suddenly felt cold, and I didn't know why. The Nether was susposed to be hot, but I could now see my own breath. I looked at Herobrine, who was looking around in amazement.
"This person has quite a bit of power to change the elements in the Nether. I still don't like the fact that he messed up my castle, though." He shivered, coughing some. I doubt it was from the cold, something was wrong with him. Not like I cared, he was a killer...who was probably very sick. I shook my head quickly. Curse my pacifist blood! I had to stop thinking that he may not be evil. Maybe it was the cold, though, he wasn't wearing his jacket, it was tied around his waist. I see some sort of glimmer from under his shirt collar, and I stop walking. It was some sort of necklace, hidden. I had a feeling I knew what it was. He looked at me, confused. "What's up?" I lunged at him, making him fall, and grabbed that necklace. It wasn't Skys amulet, it was a locket with a quartz peice in the middle. I pointed it out to him, and he chuckled, getting back up so he could explain.
"Big brother gave that to me. I've had it hidden under my shirt so it wont get scratched in a fight. He said that if I wished upon it, he would show up. But I'm sure he's too busy." I didn't know why King Notch gave him that thing, so I dropped the subject. I thought it was something else, something that would prove he was evil. He coughed more, and I tried not to worry. Why did I have to be a caring creature? Fudge it, I couldn't take it. I had to ask him why he was coughing, but as always, nothing was heard from me. We can talk without fake faces, but I didn't know how. I inwardly sighed, and I noticed that I was walking multiple paces in front of Herobrine. His coughing was worse, and I pointed to him, tilting my head in confusion.
"It's nothing. I just can't breathe for some reason. We can keep going...shut up." I could tell he was lying. He whispered the last part to himself, so silently I barely caught it. Whatever he was saying, it wasn't directed at me. He seemed to clutch his head for a moment, and I became ten times more worried. Sky told me that he could become controlled by the Ancient magic in him, and I started to wonder if that was the case. It was eerily silent as we walked, and his coughing hasn't ceased. Whoever turned off my ability to comunicate to others without paper was going to get kicked. My mind started to wander, and I remembered something as a kid.
-Flashback Subs POV-
My home for the whole seven years of my life was gone. The flames came close as I walked through the ruined pathways. Mother was token prisoner, the rest were dead. I couldn't understand, the humans liked us just last week. Then there was a rather bad prank, and we all get slaughtered by one person. We weren't made to fight, we were easily killed. I put up the hood of my ash covered lime green jacket as I tried to use any deception magic. Father disapeared three years ago, and mother never taught me anything. I silently sighed, and sat outside the small ruined village, against a tree. I looked at the fire, the smell of burnt wood and flesh was too much. I could cry, just not shed tears. I missed them. They didn't even fight back. We wouldn't lift a weapon if the world depended on it. I then heard something to the left, and a sword was suddenly in front of my neck. There was an armored person in front of me, and all I could see about him was dark blue eyes that were filled with hatred. I looked around quickly for help in vain, my hood falling down, revealing that I was one of the creatures they were hunting.
"Ha, looks like you forgot to run you little runt." I tried to talk, but I never knew that ability. I was scared and I tried to move my hands to try and comunicate. The blade came closer to my neck, and I froze. "Can you even use magic runt?" Magic, the thing that every monster has, except for Zombies, Skeletons, and Spiders. It was a default magic, with no title like deception magic and Ender Magic. I shook my head slowly, I didn't know how to use it. I had a soul, something not heard of to my kind, and my now dead uncle always thought that was holding back my magic. I didn't have any aura, though, but I wish that I could use something against this...murderer. As soon as the word hit my thoughts, my heart sped up. I felt something odd, and I wanted to punch this person until their face bled. I didn't know what was happening. I moved my hand, a certian choice of words in my mind.
"You murdered everyone." I couldn't believe it, I could talk like this. He chuckled and soon started to laugh.
"Yeah and I had fun. I may just kill my prisoner too, instead of finding out how you make those stupid pranks of yours." That proved it. He was a killer, and he was going to kill mother. I looked at the gleaming sword in front of me. The killer was holding it loosely, and I could easily take it and turn it against him. He didn't think I would, he thought I couldn't kill him with a slash to the neck-
I shook my head. How did I know what to do with a weapon? He started talking more, in an annoying voice, he said how he killed everyone, and I stood up quickly. He jumped back, surprised. I grabbed the sword, ignoring the cuts, and I flipped it out of his grip skillfully. I grabbed the hilt in one hand, swinging it around, showing off moves I didn't even know. I looked at the blade, the blood of my people, stained some parts of the sword. I moved my hand again, getting the surprised mans attention.
"You know, I always wondered how a sword worked. Lets try it, shall we?" He took a step back, and I started to walk forward. He killed everyone, and kidnapped my family, he wasn't innocent. I used the sword to sweep at his feet, and he tripped onto the ground. I then put the sword up to his neck.
"D-Don't kill m-me." He studdered. I actually wanted to laugh at him, and I started to apply pressure. He wasn't dead, but he was in pain. I didn't even need to move my hand as I said one more thing.
"You should have thought about that before you killed them." I quickly raised the sword, and brought it down on his neck hard, making blood go everywhere. I then dropped the sword in shock. He wasn't respawning. I just killed someone, and that was something none of my people have ever done. I knew from then on, I wasn't as fragile as I thought I was. I was made to fight, even if I didn't look like it. I turned away from the dead body, and put back on my hood, using my newly activated magic to keep my hood up while I ran.
-End of Flashback. Subs POV-
I was snapped back to reality by a scream. I knew who that was, and I looked to my right, seeing a sleeping Herobrine. I facepalmed, because I too, was leaning against the wall. I don't remember falling asleep, but I didn't dwell on that fact. I stood up, shaking Herobrine, and he grumbled as he rubbed his eyes. They looked human once more. And I pointed down the hall, before quickly walking in the direction I pointed. There was another scream, and that made him completely awake, running past me. I decided to run too, maybe we would get there before Dan was killed.
Hiya, there is about to be something big happening. It is up to you if Skys group or Herobrine and Sub finds Dan first. Also, should he die? I have figured out Deviant art...I think. The name for it is FANFANFANFANFAN78, and it will have my random pictures and some illustrations for the story. I am going to try to make fan art to an animation NinjaNekoAru made. I have been reading their stories, and I saw a video on youtube by them without noticing until I looked at who made it. It is the Skyfall animation, and it is AWESOME! I made Subs past a little sad, and I must say this. Noppera-bo is a faceless Japanese mythical creature. They don't harm humans, and they mainly scare them instead. I made up everything else, the deception magic is another type of magic I came up with. I hope you had a good day, and enjoy some cookies. (::) (::) (::) (::) (::)
