Levi: It's just a coincidence.

Okay, it's that too. But it works out nicely! Make sure to pay attention to the chapter. I'm loading you guys with important info!

And I'm sorry for something ahead of time. I've lied to every single one of you when I mentioned the princess in a PM…The reason why will be explained in this chapter.

Oh yeah! This story now has 50 reviews! That number really amazes me…Thanks so much for reading this, you guys! *grins like an idiot*

DiamondMiner37-I'm glad you like it! You have to know what Aria and Koga's names are a reference to in order to name the dog…Sorry 'bout that. But I'll keep writing this story!

Chapter 20:

Revelations

Orpheus wasn't quite sure how he felt about Kane.

The older boy had saved him. But for what reason? Did he just want to protect him because they were now allies? Or was there some more sinister reason? The enderman hybrid started to twirl a strand of his hair around his finger as he thought. An empty glass bottle that once had contained a potion of healing lay next to him on a wooden table. Orpheus himself was sitting on his sofa in front of the fireplace.

The teenager in question was nowhere to be found after the battle. Kane had disappeared without a trace. It was extremely worrisome for the entire group, even if they trusted him.

Gwen had said that Kane had mentioned a Dark Prince Kaze before the battle started. Orpheus guessed that this Kaze guy was the big bad guy, although Kane had also mentioned a goddess named Mitéra.

Why did the name Dark Prince Kaze sound so familiar-A gasp escaped his lips.

"What's wrong, Orphy?"

"I think I've-I think I've gotten it!" He managed to get out. He jumped to his feet. "Pandora, I'll be back." Without thinking of teleporting-he was too excited for the thought to even pass his mind-Orpheus shot past Levi and Aria. The two were arguing about something, most likely who had taken out more of the armor.

His feet instinctively carried him back to the looming tower. He rushed up the stairs, almost tripping over his own two feet as he did so. He recognized the name! He had figured out Kane's identity!

He searched the shelves for the book he was thinking of. Orpheus finally found it resting on the couch in front of the fireplace.

His claws gently flipped through the pages. "'Dark Prince Kaze.'" He read out loud in excitement. "'Dark Prince Kaze has been around for many eons, and though no one knows who created him, he serves someone he calls his lord. He has been attributed to creating the End and the creatures that reside within it.'"

That was the reason for how he felt around Kane, and why Pandora had been so frightened! The puzzle known as Kane was finally putting itself together, and Orpheus was the lucky puzzle solver. But one important piece was still missing. What was his motive?

The enderman hybrid slipped the book into his already packed bag and began to hurry back to Steve's house. Maybe the others would be able to come up with some idea.

Suddenly, darkness started to creep its way out of the bushes. It snaked around Orpheus' feet. The source was somewhere nearby. A barely concealed scream filled the woods, causing birds to fly out of the trees. The youngest of the reincarnated rushed to the source.

Once he saw who was standing in the midst of the woods, Orpheus crouched behind a bush. There stood "Kane", tendrils of darkness coming out of his feet.

The ten year old's heart began to speed up. Who had screamed? Kaze was the only one there. Had he murdered someone-Orpheus felt like he was going to be sick from the thought. Kaze turned his head to look in Orpheus' direction. The enderman hybrid ducked, but then the book fell to the ground.

In less than a second, Kaze was behind him.

"I won the bet." He slowly said as he glanced down at the dark book. "You have figured out my real name, haven't you?"

Orpheus gave a slow nod. "You're Dark Prince Kaze. Creator of the End and everything that lives there. That's why Pandora and I get so uncomfortable around you."

Kaze nodded. "Do you know who I am, besides that and my name?"

The enderman hybrid shook his head.

The god took a deep breath. "I have been discovered, so there is no point in keeping it a secret any longer. I am about to show you my true form, Dark Mage. Maybe then you will understand my identity."

All that Orpheus could do was watch as darkness gathered around Kaze's feet. A scream filled Orpheus' ears. The source of the earlier scream had been none other than Kaze himself as he underwent the painful transformation from god to human.

Kaze knelt down on the ground, and Orpheus watched with amazement as the god's body changed. His modern clothing was replaced by black clothes that showed his royal status. His ears grew pointier, and his hair soon reached down to his knees. Black angelic wings sprouted out of his back. The two parts of his appearance that didn't change were his jewelery and sword.

The enderman hybrid stared at the deity in horror as he got to his feet. Several of his teeth had grown into fangs. But what horrified the ten year old the most was his eyes. They were full of darkness. The darkness literally seeped out of them, as if it was infecting the god from the inside out.

"Now do you understand?" The god questioned.

"I-I don't." The pure power that the god emitted was strengthened in his true form. Orpheus felt as if he wanted to cower before him.

Kaze raised a hand to his ears. "The skins that you and the other reborn from your world used are similar to your past life's appearance." Orpheus still didn't understand what the god was trying to get at. "Do you remember the tale of The Dark King?"
Orpheus nodded.

"My name is Dark Prince Kaze."

A look of shock appeared on Orpheus' face as the meaning behind the deity's words set in. He was an idiot for not realizing it sooner! The title, and his appearance made it so obvious! "You're-You're past Levi and Aria's son!"

Kaze smiled. "Yes, Dark Mage, I am."

Was the god evil? Kaze hadn't attempted to kill him yet. And could a child of Levi and Aria possibly be evil? Orpheus settled on Kaze being good.

Thousands of questions raced through Orpheus' head. After thinking about them for a minute, he finally settled on asking, "But why doesn't the prophecy mention you?" The enderman hybrid got to his feet and looked at Kaze expectantly.

"I believed that it would not be…humble of me to be mentioned in it."

"Huh?" Orpheus wisely asked. "What do you mean? Did you know the princess?"

"People have different interpretations of the past. Because of this, history can be changed when told verbally. Even when written down, it can be changed." Kaze started to explain. "The prophet, if you remember, was told to be a princess of the Nether. Not many people lived in the Nether during the time of the prophecy, and there was no princess among them. There was, however, a prince."
"You. Herobrine was the king, and you're his son." The ten year old realized. "You're the one who came up with the prophecy, and you have to be the man that Steve met all of those years ago!"

"Exactly. I am glad that you are one of my own now, Dark Mage." The god said with a small smile. He fingered the obsidian ring as he spoke.

"But why? Why did you help him like that? Did you decide on your own?"

Kaze shook his head. "No. My lord told me to."

Orpheus, despite feeling guilty about the amount of questions he had bombarded the god with, asked, "Who is your lord?"

"My uncle…You know him better as Notch."
