World of darkness : Book two : back from the dead

Part 14 : the new world order

( pov lance )

Me , rain stella and ciara had all arrived at Cynthias nether fortress or castle whatever you want to call it to start our hunt for ceris

Even if we beat her let alone find her we still have to give up the nether star Which could make Cynthia a dangerous enemy or a powerful ally for us and her having the nether under control limits where we need to look for dangers to the end and over world

Which i still have to tell the others what else is in the void .....not much of it friendly to me ever since the end civil war ...nothing civil about wiping out my whole kingdom ....I'm losing track of what I should be focusing on

Stella walked up to me . She still had some marks from when ceris attacked her but they were slowly healing

Stella " hey dad ...are you sure i should be here ...I'm not exactly like them " she was nervous around the nether kin seeing how she was one her self

I put my hand on her shoulder o help calm her down

" my child dont worry they wont hurt you its the rest of us that should worry Cynthia has full respect for you since your a nether kin ....even tho that doesn't change the fact your still my child " she smiled and went back to talk to rain and ciara

We all walked to the elevator that leads up to near Cynthias Thorne room and waited till we reached the top

The doors opened the the room was empty which was ......strange

We walked near where Cynthia would have been standing suddenly we heard some sort of flame magic come from behind the Thorne And Vanessa popped out

Vanessa" sorry to keep you wanting sir lance " she bowed but i could tell she really didnt care

Vanessa looked at rain strangely and suddenly walked up to him

Rain looked nervous as she came closer .I put a arcane blade between them just to be save for rains sake

Vanessa " you look familiar to me do i know you from some where ?" She asked him as she stepped away

Rain " ....uh i umm....no i do not think so .." he was barely hiding his fear .....I assume he knew this was the mother of Abigail

Vanessa" now Cynthia is a bit busy so i shall bring you to her so we can start your chase " we followed her as we went to the hall way to the right which had not gone down before

" with all do respect..trickster the more we wait the more ceris can prepare for us and learn her powers of the nether star " Vanessa turned to look at me

Vanessa "Cynthia is knowing of that fact lance but unless she controls the nether she cant hunt down ceris completely " we cant wait that long .....unless we helped in her conquest of the nether .....but is it worth it

It would boast the trust between us but also keep us distracted from other things ...especially if what ive heard from the frost bourne is true

" well how long would that take then ?" I asked her as we reached a new elevator Which started to go down as went stepped in

Vanessa " the main the main species of the nether are of course are the ghasts , blazes , piglins and of course the biggest pigmen and withers which Cynthia is at war with the pigmen and withers but the others have all agreed to join her well the piglins aren't so willing but she waiting to invade them " so if we help take out the wither skeletons and pigmen her conquest would be done much faster

Suddenly the whole elevator shaft begun to Shake

Vanessa "appears the withers have made the first move .....well if you want to help us now would be a great time " she blasted the side of the elevator and the wall of nether rack in front of it to show a massive army attacking the fortress
