The 'Good' Are Built Off Lies... (Herobrine x reader)

Chapter 20

We all turned around and immediately got into a fighting stance.

"Wow wow wow... calm down, I'm not going to fight any of you" the now panicked voice said.

I looked at the owner, it was a girl probably around the age of me with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was standing just a bit away from me with her hands in the air looking, shocked. We put our weapons away and I approached the girl.

"Who are you?" I asked curiously.

She relaxed and brought her hands down by her side taking deep breathes.

"My name is... is Iris im the gate keeper of the forbidden valley." she answerd.

"Oh I see, well my name is Y/n and those two are Null and Entity." I said. She waved to them and Entity and Null waved back.

There was a bit of silence for a minute until Null interupted it, "I dont mean to sound rude but why are you a gate keeper of... a valley?"

"Well you see this valley contains different species of animals and different types of plants that are too powerful for mortals. There is a protective barrier around the valley but I'm still here just to keep people away" she said.

"Are you able to open the barrier?" asked Entity

"No I'm not and even if i could i wouldn't be allowed to let people in. If you want you can come into my cabin and have a drink of something."

While Entity and Null sighed and followed Iris to her cabin i turned around to take a look at the Valley, we were running out of time and if i can get through all that would be left would be to find the Ather Lily. I took a few steps toward the barrier before my name stopped me.

I turned around and all three of them were waiting for me, I backed away from the barrier and walked over towards them, then along with them till we reached a cottage. We entered and inside there was a small kitchen with a table and four chairs. There was a small fire place with left over ashes from a fire that had died the night before. We went over and sat at the table while Iris stood by her stove boiling water for a cup of tea she took four cups out of a cupboard.

"What are we doing we should be trying to get through the barrier?" Entity asked.

"Look just because she doesn't look like she could fight you Entity, doesn't mean she can't, don't underestimate her, she's a gate keeper for a reason." Null said as he walked on.

"I have a way to get through the barrier" I said, they both looked at me and I spoke again.

"I'm able to pass through the barrier, I think it may have something to do with my magic" I said.

"I see so we may need a distraction, do you want us to distract her while you go on now then?" Null asked

"Yes but we can't have her getting suspicious of you, she's a gate keeper for a reason right Null? Maybe you could ask to take a breather, and then get through the barrier." Entity said.

"That's a good idea, so that's the plan then" I said a they both nodded their head.

Then we heard the whistle of the kettle, Iris took the kettle off then poured the water slowing into each of the cups. She brought them over to the table two at time and then brought over sugar and milk.

I took my cup, while thinking. I didn't want to leave immediately in case she would suspect something, but if I don't, we may not get back in time for Nancy to make the antidote.

I decided to wait a few minutes, finish the tea as fast as possible without raising suspicion and then excuse myself.

"So... what are you 3 doing out here, by the name you can tell these lands are... forbidden?" Iris said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

We all looked at each other seemingly questioning whether we should say anything about Herobrine.

"Well, our friends is gravely ill, we fear they may not make it. We were told by the doctor the only ingredient needed doesn't exist anymore, so we set out to find the "non existent" ingredient. We found in a book it was in the forbidden valley." I said, quickly drinking my tea after while Entity and Null gave me a reassuring nod.

"Ah I see, you've came for the Ather Lily, well I sorry to say nobody can get into the valley, there's a powerful spell cast. If you do manage to enter I'll be surprised", Iris spoke again.

This was my chance, I lowered my head, before saying, "please excuse me... I ne-... need some air".

I got out of my seat and walked out the door, now was my chance. As fast as I could I ran to the entrance, stopping before it a second and then walking straight through. Once again a light blue sparkling mist surrounded me as I walked through and disappeared as I finished entering the valley.

Now the only obstacle left was finding the flower before time runs out. How was I to do this, I was surrounded by millions of flowers, it would take forever to find it.

I closed my eyes, but not in defeat. I opened them as I felt this urge to walk to a certain point of the valley, it was like a rope pulling me to it. All I could do was follow, my mind raced as it was strange, it could be dangerous.

Before I knew it I wasting in front of a flower. This flower was covered with what looked to be a glass cover, but as I got closer I realised it was avian a cover with the same magic as the barrier. I slowly and carefully brought my hand to the side over the cover, taking a deep breath before closing my eyes and punching my hand though.

Once again that same light blue sparkling mist surrounded my hand, as my fingers touched the stem of the Lily I felt a warm sensation. One the count of three I gently picked the flower, waiting for something to happen. But nothing did. As soon as I picked the Ather Lily another one grew in its place blooming quickly.

I sighed in relief of the achievement, now all that was left was to get back to Herobrine as fast as we could.

{Heelo again, yes it has been a while, I haven't been able to write a chapter as I'm now doing online schooling. I finally managed to get some time to write this one. I hope you enjoy and until next time. Bye}
