The Returning War (A Songs of War fanfic)

Part 1: Chapter 7

"What happened Queen Abbigal?" Asked Vulcannus

Abbigal shivered in fear "It was a dark monster...he had a glowing whip...it stung worse than anything I've ever felt before"

 Vulcannus laid a comforting hand on Abbigal's shoulder "Are you ok?"

"I will be once I know my Enderknights are safe"

"Whatever" interjected Sparks "Just tell us what happened"

"Patience Sparks" scolded Vulcannus

"Why?"

"Because it is essential to growing up"

Sparks snarled but nodded obediently

Abbigal clutched a blanket around her shoulders "This dark figure waltzed into my fortress and demanded to see me, when he saw me he unleashed a glowing red whip...and...and..."

"And what?" Urged Vulcannus

"He...it hurt so bad...I must have fainted. When I came around I was lying near an Endercrystal surrounded by Endermen"

"Did your attacker say anything?"

"Yes"

"What?"

"He said he would destroy what someone worked so hard to protect"

"Who?"

"I don't know, he just called her 'she'"

"What did he look like?"

"He was tall, very tall and was clothed in black and had the scariest red eyes ever"

"A Voltaris perhaps?"

"No, too tall"

"What then?"

"A magnorite?" Suggested Sparks "They are taller then most Ardoni"

"No" whispered Abbigal "He was at least two heads taller than an Ardoni"

"What did the whip look like?"

"A normal whip cloaked in red energy"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He stood watching, waiting; no one would stop him, not even her. It was strange that Netharin seemed to actually care about that so called Enderqueen, well the more people to destroy the better. He chuckled darkly and raised his bow, a black arrow dripping with crimson poison was ready to fire, and he did

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abbigal's body fell limp as the arrow pierced her side, Sparks unsheathed her stone knife and held it ready

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he hissed "A pretty pet like yourself might hurt yourself with that blade"

"Who are you!" Demanded Vulcannus

"Your master Netharin, do not try to refuse to do anything I tell you or you will regret it"

"What have you done to Queen Abbigal?!"

"Queen Abbigal?" He asked "She is no more than a mere pretender to The Ender Throne"

"The End chose her!"

"Are you sure?"

Vulcannus drew his sword, it glowed bright orange "Leave!"

"Why?"

"This is my realm, I command you to leave!"

"So you are the so called Nether king"

"So called?"

"Yes" he unfurled his whip, it cracked with red electricity and expelled a draft of ice cold air "I am the true Nether King, and I have come to retake my throne!"

His whip sped towards Vulcannus who blocked it; Sparks stepped forwards her knife raised

"No Sparks!" Ordered Vulcannus "This is my fight, take Queen Abbigal and get her out of here! Protect her with your life!"

"No! I'm not taking your stupid girlfriend anywhere! Let her die!" Shouted Sparks

"Do as I say, now!"

Sparks rolled her eyes but picked up Abbigal and carried her to her cave. Sparks laid Abbigal on her small bed

"Don't look at me like that" said Sparks to Ack who was looking at her with an unimpressed look

Ack squacked and waddled into his corner. Sparks opened a cupboard and pulled something out
