Chapter Twenty-Six

a/n Hey! I'm not dead! However, I will probably disappear for a while again after this chapter is uploaded. Sorry!

???'s POV

Wandering down these halls day after day seems so useless! Every hall looks almost exactly the same, there's not even a hint on how to get out of here! I just want to get home, away from here as soon as possible. While I'm walking, looking for any kind of clues, I hear two of the head Watchers of the timeline division talking. I stand as close to the doorway as I can and turn invisible.

One of them chuckles, "This shift might be an opportunity that we never saw coming, young one."

What is the shift? They keep talking about it during my training while they think I'm not listening. It seems extremely important, but Xen is saying it's an opportunity? When they were talking about it before it seemed like a bad thing, but now it's good. What is going on?

The younger starts talking, "You mean we don't have to worry about the shift after all? Are you sure everything will fall back into place? This seems too simple, sir."

Thank you Xolani! You're asking the good questions.

"Not back into place, no, better than that. It can't be handed to us exactly, but with a mild amount of work and some other hands, things should work out in our favor." Xen says, he sounds like he's smiling.

What in the End are they talking about?

"This is wonderful news, sir! The new recruit is nearly fully trained now and could be of great use! ...That one is mighty powerful, sir. I've never seen one quite like him before, he picked everything up so quickly. The higher-ups really made a fantastic choice."

They're talking about me? This could be my perfect escape! Whatever mission they need me on, I can just get out of there! I should be able to pull out my tracker and then escape through a portal, easy-peasy! This is going to be a lot easier to escape from than I originally thought. I can finally go home and visit Phil and see my cats! Suddenly, I realize I'm no longer listening to their conversation and tune back in.

"-ome other news, is that the Ruler's child has returned home," Xolani says.

I didn't even know the Ruler had a kid, to be honest. Then again, I'm not in the End much, except for right now.

"Yes, I'm aware, hence why I believe everything will fall into place. We'll have the time traveler and the new recruit capture the child. Then, we'll force the Ruler to step down and hand over their kingdom to us. We have been waiting so long for this, Xolani! We have to take this chance to receive what was meant to be ours finally! Nobody can get in our way! Not the goddess, not the blood god, and definitely not Minecraft!" Xen shouts excitedly.

"Of course, sir. Finally, our Great Honor." I can tell Xolani is smiling.

They're going to force me and some other guy to kidnap someone! And that someone is the child of the Ruler?! There's no way I'm going through with this. I'll convince this time traveler guy to work with me to protect this kid. Whatever the Watchers want is not worth the Ruler and their kids' lives! When I arrived at their headquarters, I knew their system was wrong. I didn't realize that it was evil.

I can still get home... wait. They mentioned Minecraft! As in mine and Phil's family name!? This is way more important than I was just thinking. If he's involved then he definitely knows this kid. If this kid is important to the goddess and to Phil, then the kid is now 10 times more important to me.

I will protect this kid no matter what, that is my new goal.

Getting home can wait.
