Tommy had taken to wondering the nether, going in what he knew was the general direction of what he believes to be Ru' aun. It was times like this he was thankful to only be half and not full shadow knight, one he didn't burn in lava, two he didn't feel the call of the Shadow King, Three He knew where to find the nearest nether portal and four, His favorite one he knew how to tell how much time has passed when in the nether. Something he knew confused the ever-loving fuck out of Wilbur, Philza and techno.
It reminded him of when he was younger, Tommy when his Mother was still alive and had to go to the nether to "deal with shadow knight stuff". She started taking him when he was around 4, Dangerous and probably a bad idea, but those were some of the best times of his life. He'd slept in lava for hours, played with some younger piglins-Piglets of some of the hidden tribes there, Read more about Irene and her friends and many other things. No one knew that he had been there, Tommy's mood soured. His mother had been killed in front of him.
His mother had been a wonderful woman, MotherInnit was her nickname. She'd been wonderful to the people of the village they lived in; they knew she was a shadow knight. They also knew that why'll she never directly followed the shadow lord, she still went there to see if they had anyone from their village, she would bring them home, help them find peace, Train them. Everyone loved her, she was the head guard, there were times when they thought her to be the lord.
She'd been found out by the current head shadow knight, Gene. His mother was the former. It's part of how he'd ended up in philza's care. The shadows Knights had planned to attack the village, but no one was there, due to the fact that tommy had alerted the village. They'd made it to the village where Philza and his sons lived. Tommy had lost his father soon after that, passing away of old age. Tommy had heard so many different stories from his father about his mentor hyria.
Tommy hadn't known how deep he'd fallen into his thoughts He didn't notice how Deeply he'd been starring into the lava. At least until a voice called out "KID! BE CAREFUL!". He didn't think, only acting on trained Instinct and Aimed his crossbow at the two people, one ginger with green eyes, He had an emerald Sheild and Sword. Next to him was a black-haired woman with hazel eyes wearing diamond Armor and sword. Tommy couldn't stop the internal Winch. "S... SORRY LADY! CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD!". He had a light shake in his movements, it has been so long, three months of journeying, five if you count the exile ever sense he saw another person with no Manipulative intensions.
He saw her scanning him, no doubt seeing the poorly hidden scars. He looks towards her expecting Pity, But he only see's sorrow. His body relaxes at this. She wasn't a threat, not that he means to think's she can't defend herself, but rather that she didn't want to fight. Or at least a Threat Towards him. "Don't worry! You didn't even hit me or my friend! I don't wanna keep mentally calling you kid, so what's your name?". She'd managed to make her way up to him with her friend- The ginger- Making his way up to them. She was coming up to him slowly, carefully, making sure to show her intensions clearly. He decides he likes this woman. "why do you wanna know?". He still has some wariness in him, hard to go through three wars, Two rebellions, Two exiles and one Execution without some.
"No no no no. I just want to know what to call you kid! My names aphmau, Name trade?". Name trade, He could work with that. "I'm tommy. Tommy Innit-Minecraft. Most people just come me tommy. It seems like you and ginger here are on some sort of quest. Got nothing else to do, Might as well tag along with you two." He heard the indignant squeak from the ginger. The women- Aphmau seems to reluctantly accept this. And wave him to follow her, He quickly does shortly follow by the ginger- Who he quickly learned his name was Laurence.
They'd quickly made it to the nether fortress, Aphmau seemed to have known this, but Laurence seems to have had no idea. It was around this Laurence asked a question. "So. Where are you from kid?". Tommy thought about it, He shrugged it off and decided to tell him straight. "I used to live in the region of Al' Tal, the hidden or blocked region I believe it's called. I came from one of the bigger Villages, it called Essempie." The women aphmau seemed confused by this, But Laurence seemed to understand.
They were quickly coming up to the fortress. "Hope you can fight kid". Hell ya he can, Afterall how else would he have survived all that he's been through and he's been fighting most of his life, What was one more battle.
