Camilia pulled away. Her cheeks were a bright red. I didn't know if Endermen could blush, but if I could, then I probably did.
"You have to go now." She said in a small voice. I sighed and hugged her.
"Bye." I whispered softly, then walked through the portal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camilia let her tears flow freely as soon as Ender walked through the portal. He was gone. He was really, truly gone. She heaved a heavy sigh and teleported herself to the castle. The weight of ruling a kingdom was now on her shoulders, and she had to do it alone.
"Your Majesty." Said a guard, and bowed. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Camilia shook her head no. "Leave me be. I want to be alone." She said. The guard nodded and left the room.
Camilia sighed. Now would be as good a time as ever to see what she could do. She concentrated her energy and shut her eyes. She opened them and looked down at herself.
"Creeper. Was not expecting that." She said and turned back to normal.
Camilia continued to change her form, but neither her mind nor her heart were into it. Tears filled her eyes. She let out a loud shriek. The water burned her skin, tore away at her flesh. She had been so lost in thought she hadn't realized what she had turned into.
"An Enderman. I'm an Enderman!" She gasped. An idea began to form in her mind. If she could turn into an Enderman, than maybe, just maybe, she would be able to turn an Enderman back to normal! The thought made her giddy!
Camilia tried to open a portal to the void. It didn't work, almost as if it had been closed off from the inside. She frowned. She had to get back to Ender, somehow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had the familiar feeling of being suspended in air, then I felt a sudden impact. I shook my head as my vision slowly turned back to normal. I, along with all of the other Endermen, was on a huge island made out of yellow stone. Black towers were scattered around the island. Purple crystals floated on the top. A beam shot from one off the edge of the island and deep into the void.
I teleported up to the crystal to examine it. It had strange red runes on it and was surrounded with fire. It floated atop a bedrock pillar. I teleported down.
I figured I might as well explore the island, seeing as I would spend the rest of eternity here. It didn't take long for me to do a circle around the island, and I felt a sudden, crushing sadness. My heart longed for home, for my family, for Camilia. Death would be better than living like this, as this.
A sudden loud roar broke my train of thought and I whirled around.
"You!" I gasped. The Ender Dragon gave me a dark smile.
"Well, hello, Ender. I'm so glad you are back. I wasn't finished with you yet, and I was afraid you might've died. I see now that you are still very much alive. That's about to change."
A searing pain filled my mind and I crumpled to the ground. The life was slowly sucked out of me. I screamed in pain. The Ender Dragon grinned. I opened my mouth, and breathed my last breath.
