Reds POV:
We were on our feet in less than a second, and I could tell almost all of us were trying not to freak out or panic. Sherbert noticed this, circled once, then ran off into the woods for a few feet before turning back to us. We understood that he wanted us to follow him. When Jerome picked up the still unconcious Sky, the dog started to lead us through the forest. It was a little hard since he kept choosing the path with the most brambles and least places to walk. I nearly tripped three times already, and we haven't been walking for ten minutes. After awhile of silence, I tried to break the tension, looking back to Idal.
"So Idal, why is it your traveling with us? You don't know us at all and you have no reason to stay with us." She shrugged.
"Thats the exact reason why I want to join you guys. I know about the technology of the time, but I don't know anyone. I also have a feeling I need to be here. Besides, you guys desperatly need a girl in the group." I chuckled a little at her joke, but it didn't stop me from being worried. I glanced back at Sherbert.
"On another note, how did Sherbert get this far out. Its still a few good miles before the snow starts and then its still a days trek to Stampys home."
"Your right, he doesn't look to be tired enough to have been traveling for days." Agreed Barney, looking at the little dog again. We walked in silence until we reached a raging river. Sherbert paced across the bank, almost as though he was trying to gain the nerve to jump in.
"I wonder if there is a bridge around. There is no way we can swim across this water, except for maybe Husky and Ross." Jin smirked a bit. "Since they're fish."
"Narwhal."
"Amphibian." They stated at the same time. Just then, the dog jumped into the water, and where he jumped, turned a bright orange as it swirled into a little whirlpool. Ssundee gasped.
"A portal!? How is that possible?" Hero walked into the water, not dissapearing when he reached the whirlpool. The water was up to his waist.
"Its a complex spell. Someone must have known what they are doing when they made this." He turned to us, smiling a little bit. He did a fake salute. "Looks like we need to be completely submerged to teleport. See you on the other side." He fell back into the water, dissapearing.
======Herobrines POV:
I fell on my back, sorrounded by snow. Some snowflakes were drifting lazily down from the dark sky, and I stood up so I could get a better look around. The others appeared in different places around the clearing, and I looked around for the dog. I couldn't see any pawprints, and the snow started to come down a little harder.
"I know where we are." Called Deadlox from a tree. "I got lost here before. Stampys place is this way." We followed him, and I sensed something was wrong. When we reached Stampys Lovely World, the entrance was open and one door was askew. The snow made it dark and the usually bright path to Stampys house was dull. It almost looked like the place was deserted, until I heard a bark. We ran to where the sound came from, and I froze. Sherbert was standing in front of something. On the ground, covered in a little bit of snow, was Squid Nugget. His skin looked almost as blue as his jacket and hair. I created a fireball in the air to see if that would help warm him up. I dragged him from the snow onto a clear spot on the path. He had an open wound on his chest that started bleeding. That meant he was alive. I started a healing spell, but it barely worked. The wound itself was fighting against me, which meant that a spell had to hit him...created by him on purpose. When I finally got the bleeding to stop, he started to stir.
"Wha...Wh-Who?" He tried to sit up, but I gently pushed him back onto the ground.
"Don't move Squid Nugget, your in horrible shape." He didn't seem to recognize my voice, and spoke some more, which was a good sign.
"Good luck healing me...I..." After a moment of silence from him, I heard a sob and looked at him. He had one arm over his face, but I could see tears. I gulped, asking a question that was buggin me.
"Why did you do this to yourself?" There was a small chuckle from Squid Nugget, as he spoke.
"It was his fault. He controlled me. He cut me with the sword, and I couldn't fight back. He made Stampy think I killed myself...Oh no, what is he doing to him?" There was a sword that controlled people? It must be some sort of magic. I only spoke to him again when the wound was just basically a scratch.
"Do you know where Stampy might be? There could be time to free him from Hit The Target." He nodded, frowning slightly.
"I think they went to Stampys house. I heard some screams from there, but I couldn't move." I started to wonder how long he has been in the snow. Squid Nugget started to open his eyes, but maybe I shouldn't have been the one in his sight. He screamed, pushing me back with a sudden wall of water. Great, not only was I sitting in the snow now, but I was drenched. A dark blue glow was glowing around him, smelling of the ocean. The aura slowly dissapeared though, and he sighed, crossing his arms.
"Sorry. You scared me. I quess the rumors were true, you've turned good." Oh, word was getting out. "Some people are actually starting to cause trouble, saying that they are a part of your gang." He did air quotes with his hands. "But everyone knows that isn't true." I'd have to confront this gang sometime to have a talk with them.
"Crainer, you should stay here with Sky and Squiddy while we take care of Target." Ssundee stated suddenly. "Its obvious Sky nor Squiddy can fight at the moment, so you need to watch over them." Crainer nodded, and Jerome sat Sky down beside Squid Nugget.
"How did this happen?" He asked, and Crainer patted his shoulder, smiling a little bit.
"I'll explain while they save Stampy." We made our way to Stampys house, and I started to wonder about that sword Target has. It sounded intimidating, and I wondered how it gained control just by cutting someone.
"How could there be a sword that powerful?" I asked, looking at the sillohuette of Stampys house as we neared it. Bodil answered.
"It sounds like an ancient sword the Deamon King uses. I've weilded it once, but it wasn't to control someone. We have to use it without getting corrupted to join the higher ranks of deamon. If Target was able to get it away from our king...then we will be in trouble." He explained. Idal spoke up. Her voice was nearly a whisper.
"I made that sword." I stopped myself from freezing in my tracks.
"Wait what?!" Bodil asked, surprise on his face. "There is no way you made it."
"But its true. I created a sword with a special ability. I found a rare gem, one that held a certain kind of magic in it, and it was concetrated enough that it gave the sword the ability to control people. I gave it to the Queen of Angels to keep it safe, but I quess she lost it." Simon solemnly nodded.
"The queen died long ago in a fight with the deamon King. The prince rules now, he doesn't want to take a title that is above his mother." Idal frowned.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I was close with the queen, but I'm sure she died with honor." There was another moment of silence, and I heard some movement from behind a pillar. Bodil turned towards the sound quickly, looking more like his deamon self. He shouted something, and a small object, that resembled a bullet hit whatever was behind the pillar. A deamon fell, black blood seeping from its head.
"This is bad news, if he has control of the deamons as well, the fight just got a lot harder. We need to stay diligent and not make a noise." We snuck up to the entrance of Stampys house. A familiar white haired figure stood, looking away from us. He wore a green jacket and was holding a halberd close to him. He had grey skin like the other deamons, but he was shaking with fear. What surprised me most was the wings on his back. Bodil walked out from our hiding spot, a smug look on his face. I quess he knew he could take the weak looking deamon.
"I thought the Wing Clan was irraticated after the betrayal." He stated. Betrayal? I wonder what that was. The person turned quicly, dropping their weapon. Their red eyes turning green. Jason gasped in surprise. We all shouted one thing in realization at the same time.
"TRAVIS!?"

Howdy, FAN here. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, I had some serious writers block. I'm also sorry for the fact that the chapter is so short. It was longer, but I really wanted to end it here. Hopefully soon the cover will be updated. My laptop with the new cover isn't working at the moment, because it wont turn on without a charger, and the charger broke. I was able to have it on for a little bit, but then my cat jumped onto the laptop which somehow caused it to turn off. But anyways, If you can quess the magic the sword is using you get a cookie! (::) (::) (::) (::) I hope you have a good day, and soon I can upload that cover.
