The Adventures of Drista

Mask

Ok ok first of all before you start reading, listen to "Streets" by Doja Cat. I don't know why, but whenever I listen to this song I think of Drista and how BADASS SHE IS.

Anyways, here is the next chapter. And let me just tell you all, this story is far from over. Don't worry.

I have so many things I want to write about, and those are coming up soon.

Enjoy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Drista felt like she had been falling forever.

Techno had gone through before her, and she couldn't see him in her vision anymore. Everything flashed before her, and the stars of the portal whizzed by, indicating that she was going down.

She felt heat for a moment, and looked to her side. That's when Drista saw the nether pass by. She fell through the roof, but even though it felt like she was there in the blazing heat of the dimension, she wasn't. It was almost like she was nonexistent. None of the mobs seemed to notice her falling beside them. Then she hit the ground.

The sound of glass breaking surrounded her. It didn't stop. Shards of space and matter cut her skin, but no blood beaded from the wounds. In fact, the wounds healed right away.

The ground broke around her, and reassembled itself into endstone and obsidian. Drista had stopped moving, and Techno was sitting against the wall beside her.

"It's weird, isn't it?" Techno laughed. "It's almost a nostalgic experience."

"Yeah..." Drista whispered. "It felt like I had done that before..."

She sat up and recollected herself. Her mask was loose, so she retied the strap into a neat little bow.

"Hey Drista, now that I think about it, I haven't ever seen your face."

Drista turned towards Techno and stared at him for a moment. She didn't know how to respond.

"Uh, yeah... Me neither."

"Wait, what?" Techno sounded surprised. "You haven't ever looked at your own face?"

"No, I haven't." Drista mumbled. "I remember Dream telling me a long time ago not to take off my mask. So I didn't. I have only seen what the mask looks like."

Techno took out some bandages and started to wrap his arm. "Well, maybe you should consider trying to take it off."

Drista felt uncomfortable at his statement. But Dream told her not to take off her mask, ever. Maybe she was different from all the others? She didn't quite know why Dream told her not to do all these random things.

Techno stood up. Drista tried to stop him, but he gently declined. "Don't worry, I'm alright. I can walk on my own."

"Ok." Drista said. She let her hands drop to her sides. "Anyways, what do we do next?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"What the hell-"

Tommy had stumbled upon a giant hole, not far from Techno's house and his old exile camp. The ruins of a stronghold lay on the bottom of the hole, and the entire place was burning.

Tommy decided to investigate, and slid down the slippery rock to see what had happened. He saw an ancient library, and all the books had been scattered on the floor. The shelves were burning, and all the spellbooks and enchanments were floating around, looking for their original shelf.

Tommy tried to carefully step through the rubble, but he accidentally stepped on an ancient book of lore. The book screamed, and released all of the stories and characters from it. Luckly, they were in the form of words, not people.

As he was looking around, Tommy spotted a room that was illuminated and glittery. He walked closer, carefully among the broken stone and walls. Tommy craned his neck, and looked into the room. There stood an activate portal.

"Wait..." Tommy muttered to himself, "But how?"

He had heard stories about strongholds when he was younger. All of them were heavily protected by an Ender Guardian, and the portal couldn't be activated. By anyone. Unless they had special access somehow.

Tommy tried to think of who he knew that could have the power to activate a portal, but he couldn't recall anyone. In fact, he couldn't seem to remember anything about the month before...

Did he know any women? Tommy didn't think so...

He decided to leave the area. It was creepy, and uncomfortable for him. But right when Tommy left the area, he remembered everything about the month before. Oh yeah, they attacked L'manburg, but something felt missing... was he forgetting a person?

Tommy thought hard about it for a few moments, but gave up. He couldn't recall anything.

Who could he be forgetting?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dream took off his mask.

He looked at his reflection in his newly sharpened and cleaned sword. His blond hair and freckles stood out, and his eyes glowed a lime green. But it wasn't just his iris that was green, it was his entire eye.

He wasn't a human, that's for sure. And he knew that.

He smiled to take a look at his razor sharp fangs, and then closed his mouth and put the mask back on. He tied it tight, and then perched on the side of the End City tower to look out for Drista.

They wouldn't be far from here. Just a few more moments...

He licked the tip of his arrow with his glowing tongue, coating it in posion. His first target was that darn warrior protecting Drista.

Dream took the arrow, hooked it onto the string of his bow, and pulled it back. He waited. And waited.

He then spotted movement.

Dream pulled the string back, as far as it would go.

He aimed.

The crown on top of his head was so shiny. He might take that for later and keep it in his collection.

3...

2...

1.

He let go, and the arrow whizzed. He could almost hear it piercing skin, and his target falling to the ground.

One down, one to go.

HI GUYS WHATS UP???

You THOUGHT that I was almost done with part two. Yeah, no.

There might be plans for a part three...

BUT ANYWAYS

Thanks for reading! I didn't really like Tommy's part in this one, because it was kind of hard to describe, but he might have possibly forgotten Drista after he walked near the portal that she activated. NO SPOILERS THO

Also, before you leave and go read something else, I encourage you to check out my new story, "Mutants"! I would love it if you read it.

I'm getting more into updating Drista often, but I have to do something for the next few days so don't expect updates until Friday night.

Anyways, have a great day/night!
