The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

path of fire

POV Kyle

Patrick walked up to the Woman in the cell. "Who are you?" he asked. the woman didn't move, just sat on the thin metal bed. "You killed one of my guards, spied on us, and tried to kill one of my friends, so if you ever want to leave this cell you'll cooperate," 

the woman finally did something, she smiled and walked over to the cell bars. "If you think this cell will stop my husband? or your pitiful guards will stop him, well, I'll be here long after you're all gone," 

Patrick turned and walked away. "Come on Kyle, there's no point dealing with this idiot,"

"Who is her husband?" I asked. "Someone powerful? maybe the leader of Port City?" I asked.

"No I don't think so, we don't know much about them any more but we know they lead by a woman," 

I thought for a moment. "nothing much more we can do for now," I said walking away. "Me and Abigail have a mission anyway," 

By the time I caught up with my rather small nether force made up of Abigail, Hogsworth and infernius, the three were standing around the map of my nether fort and the area around it.

"It's hopeless, they put up a battalion in there, even with whatever pigmen or piglins I muster we don't stand a chance," Hogsworth explained. 

"We can not let that fort stay in the hands of the enemy, it is the symbol that will remind the overworld, nether and End that we are still here and will not bowl," Abigail said. 

"she's right," I said joining them. "and I know exactly where to go," I picked up one of the map pieces and placed it down. "Neaus made a path that went through one of the deepest parts of the nether, and hottest, so hot that most of life can't make it through there alive, not even the blaze," 

"So how do we?" Hogsworth asked.

"only three people have ever passed through the tunnel," I continued. "Neaus, Me, and Abigail, our natural fire resistance is greater than the both of you, so as we sneak in, you two will gather a force to assault the main...." 

"What's going on in here?" Ember asked sticking his head through the door. "Nether con 2023?" 

Hogsworth blinked. "What is the strange human talking about?" 

"it's a...earth thing don't worry about it," I said. 

Abigail turned to him. "we're discussing battle plans if you must know," 

"Oh, Can I help?" Ember asked. 

Abigil shrugged. "Only if you know how to survive in heat that would boil your blood,"

"that? that's not a problem," Ember answered. "I was born in a dimension hotter than the nether," 

Abigail looked at me. "I mean, if he can he can, we need all the help we can get," I walked over to the map. "three of us, should make this easier, we'll come out in the vault and retake our castle," 

"I'll go let the others know," I said. I smiled at Abigail and the others. "I will meet you by the portal," 

"I'll come with you for now Kyle, Let the others I know I'm going with you," Ember said. 

we found the others for the most part gathered around a table in Patrick's war room, at first then I realised that there were gathered around Rain, the warrior had the ender great sword balancing on the tip of a bed sheet. 

"And..." Rain pulled the sheet and the sword fell down smacking Gwendoly and Lance on the head. there was a moment of quiet. "Whoops" Rain muttered under his breath.
