Sunset (English Version)

The Betrayal

,,Is it still far?"

Nuka raised his head and looked slightly annoyed at Einshine, who was walking in front of him and, unlike him, seemed to be having a great time.

They had been walking for quite a while now and the castle had disappeared from their sight a long time ago. It had only added to Nuka's anxiety since he could no longer teleport into its protective walls if something happens.

Nuka sighed as he thought back on their journey so far.

For him, this trip had been a nightmare.

Always afraid of running into some Minecrafters or even worse bounty hunters.

So far they had encountered nothing but a few mobs but Nuka just couldn't relax.

Unlike Nuka, who was constantly nervous and startled at every noise, Einshine had enjoyed the trip and even started to make fun of his companion.

At first Nuka had been angry about it but now he could understand him.

He was behaving quite strangely.

It's not far now, he tried to tell himself while he glanced at the coordinates again and compared them with his compass for what felt like a hundred times.

,,Hey Nuka, are you sure this is the way?" he heard Einshine call from the front at that moment, whereupon he looked up and saw his figure standing on a hill.

Instead of going further, he had stopped and turned to him with a worried look.

,,Yes, I think so? Why?" he replied as he climbed up to Einshine and examined what had stopped him.

In front of them rose a gigantic fall of lava that filled the entire wall in front of them, making it impossible to get through.

Nuka's heart sank as he looked at the whole thing.

,,Please tell me we don't have to go through there," he heard Einshine say at that moment in a pleading voice. Nuka took another look at the note and sighed deeply again as he compared it to the coordinates.

,,I'm afraid we have to," he continued with a worried look at Einshine,

"Herobrine must have put this lava fall here on purpose to hide the portal behind it."

,,But how are you going to get through it?" Einshine asked him, "After all, we are not lava resistant like Herobrine."

Nuka sighed deeply when he heard that.

He didn't have an answer for that either, but while he was standing there, staring uncertainly at the huge lava wall, he suddenly thought of something.

,,Let me try something," he replied, before raising his hands and trying to concentrate his powers on the lava.

It was a crazy idea, but Nuka had tried to move liquids with his abilities before, and even though it wasn't exactly easy and quite exhausting, it was possible.

However, he had not yet tried this whole thing with liquid that was moving and certainly not with lava.

Hopefully it will work, Nuka thought anxiously as he gritted his teeth and strained to use his skills to form a passage through the lava fall.

To his surprise and relief it actually worked!

It even was surprisingly easy. At least much easier than the water he had tried to control so far. Still terribly exhausting though!

,,Hurry up!" he gasped strained at Einshine while, by all means, trying to keep the huge lava flow somehow under control ,,I-I don't know w-how much longer I can...hold...this!"
