A/N Hello wonderful readers! I, SoulErrorArwitch (more commonly known as Soul), come bearing another chapter of The Reborn King! Just the other day I realized this story is going to be longer than A Hero's Destiny. I haven't even finished introducing the characters or the bad guy.

?: Like me, the pirate whose sailed the seven seas! Argh, ye scallywags!

Soul: We've been over this. You're not a pirate.

?: Don't ruin a pirate's dreams, or we'll steal all your booty.

Soul: *face-palms* I don't own Minecraft. That poll is still up too, and questions for the characters are appreciated. With that in mind, time to answer the guest review! Oh, one more thing. I forgot to mention it last chapter...

This story has reached a thousand views. *grins* Thank you all so much for reading it! It means so much to me, even if you're just a follower, someone who favorited the story, or a viewer who never once followed/favorited/reviewed!

Ravenstar-She might, you know. She gets ones from the past, present and future. That could make a funny one-shot sometime…The first time Levi tried cooking…*grins, then gasps* How did you know?! They could use the food as a potential weapon…And how did you know he could fly? Is it because he's like End? Speaking of End, I've taken to calling this new guy End 2.0. I told FlufferNutter Sandwich and they said I should call him Mr. E. (Try reading it aloud.)

I forgot to mention this-It's about Levi's crush on Gwen. It's based on someone I know's experiences. If he was alone with her, he would get the red cheeks and really notice it, but when he's with a group of people, the feeling kind of fades.

Well, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 16:

Kane

Levi had been enjoying Elf Boy's cooking, to tell the truth. It had to be the best food that he had ever eaten before. But, like usual, the universe decided that what he wanted to happen wasn't going to happen.

The sound of Wolf's frantic barking, who was soaking up the sun's warm rays with her five puppies, reached all of their ears. Then came a curt knock on the door.
Levi, being closest to the home's entrance, was the unlucky one who had to stop eating breakfast and see who the stranger was. Standing on the doorstep of their crowded wooden house was a teenager around his age.

The boy had unruly black hair that went down to his shoulders, and a pair of cold, calculating dark brown eyes watched him with interest. His black tank top was covered by a black leather jacket, and he wore a pair of skinny and ripped black jeans. On his feet he wore black boots. His sword sheath, naturally, was also black.

He wore several pieces of jewelery as well. Sitting on his right ring finger was what looked to be an obsidian ring, and all along both of his slightly pointed ears he had multiple silver and black earrings.

"Who are you?" Levi questioned. "And why are you here?" Something told him not to taunt this teen because of his pointed ears. He wasn't sure what it was, but the feeling was strong.

"My name is Kane." Suddenly, Levi realized that he wasn't wearing his sunglasses. He swore underneath his breath, fumbling to grab onto the black shades. Kane rested his hand on Levi's. "You don't need to do that. I have already seen your eyes."

"You're not afraid?" There was only six reborn, right? So why did Levi have the strangest feeling that this teenager was important to Herobrine's past?

"People have different interpretations of the past." The other teenager said. "My interpretation prevents me from being afraid." Out of the corner of his eye, Levi noticed that Kane's hand trembled slightly as he spoke. Was he lying when he said he wasn't scared?

"So why are you here?" Levi's sword was lying in his room. Not a single member of the group had a weapon on them, so if it came down to it, he would have to fist fight.

"I am here because you're Herobrine reborn." When Levi stared at him, Kane launched into an explanation. "I'm the...descendant of the prophetess. The legend of Herobrine and knowledge of the prophecy have been passed down to each generation."

The minute that Levi and the stranger stepped into the room, Pandora whimpered and rushed to Orpheus' side. She clung desperately to his pants and hid behind his leg. "Orphy, I'm scared!" She yelled, her grip tightening.

Orpheus pulled her in closer. "It's alright, Pandora. I won't let him hurt you." Even as he spoke he was trembling. Why was he so terrified of the teenager accompanying Levi? He radiated power far stronger than Orpheus' one magic spell had been, and Orpheus found himself resisting the urge to bow at the stranger's feet. This teenager wasn't normal. Orpheus wanted to barricade himself in the library along with Pandora, and not let anyone in. Libraries had always been his safe haven, and this one was no exception.

Next to the two, Steve was experiencing the weirdest sense of deja vu. He was sure that he knew the teenager, but he also knew that he had never seen him before. He looked so similar to someone else…

"I'm not planning on harming either of you two." He said. Even that voice-Why did Steve think that it was so familiar? "I am merely here because of the prophecy."

That was when it hit him. The teenager's voice was incredibly similar to the voice of the man that he had met all of those years ago. Was that man his father? Steve would have to ask him later.

Underneath the table, Alex's hand gripped one of her knife handles. She didn't trust this teenager at all-From what she had been told by the others about the prophecy, there was no one mentioned that matched his description.

Maybe it was because Kane, the name that he had given them, was the descendant of the princess of the Nether. That was probably it. Her grip loosened, but she didn't remove her hand. She would stay cautious and wouldn't take her eyes off of the teenager. If he slipped up at all, she wouldn't hesitate to slit his throat.

It took Gwen a while to recognize who the teenager was. But when she came to the startling realization, she had trouble not blurting it out. She wasn't sure if Kane was on their side or not. What she did know was that her vision had started to become reality. Darkness would spread throughout the forest. Orpheus would be shocked about something. And she had the sneaking suspicion that it would all have to do with Kane.

Aria was relieved. Finally she wasn't the only one with pointy ears! But, of course, Levi seemed to not notice that fact and continue to call her Elf Boy.

As Kane launched into an explanation of who he was and how he knew about them being the reborn, she got the strangest feeling that she knew him. She felt as if her past life had some strong connection to the goth teenager before her. Maybe past her had known the princess, and was recognizing the one who carried her blood?

Whatever the case was, she knew that there was something special about Kane.

"I do not have magic of my own." He said. The reborn six so easily believed his lie. Or did they? The Dark Mage and his tiny companion were terrified of him. Even after he comforted them, they still would shiver every time that he looked their way. And the Warrior kept her hand on her knife underneath the table. He wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it. A mortal weapon like that would not cause him harm.

He glanced back at the Dark Mage, and was surprised to see that it wasn't just fear the boy was looking at him with. It was also suspicion.

Maybe I will win the bet after all. A common thing that he and his lord did was bet on almost anything. It was a way for eons of existing to seem less boring. The current bet was on which of the six would figure out who exactly he was if his identity was revealed. His lord had bet on the Seer and Herobrine's wife. But the Dark Mage was the smartest out of the group, despite his age. It was the most logical choice, in his opinion.

He hoped that day wouldn't come. But the chance of a minor victory against the one he owed so much to made the thought of being discovered slightly easier to bear.

Despite that small reassurance, his fear didn't disappear.
