3rd Person POV

Grian stares at the End portal, putting his sword away and filling the ring with eyes of ender. Rykten watches from behind, the team of Hermits getting ready to go in. The portal lights, Grian stepping down from the frame.

"Its ready."

"We are too G, just say the word."

Grian shares a look with Rykten, the watcher giving a slight nod.

"...Once you go in there's no turning back until we've won. These watchers are ruthless and will try to kill you. If you're hurt you go to Jimmy right away. Am I clear?"

There's a collective yes and Grian looks right at Scar.

"If the watchers get me you return home. Do not come for me. Do not try to fight them."

Scar nods slowly, their conversation from earlier popping into his head.

Grian walks back up the steps, Rykten following him up to the portal.

"Rykten, let's do this."

"Whatever you say Lord Xelqua."

A gust of air knocks the Hermits off their feet, Rykten jumping into the portal. Grian follows behind him, grabbing an eye of ender, the portal breaking as he goes through.

"GRIAN!"

Scar hurries up the steps, fist banging on the portal frame.

"No! No, you said we could help! You promised you wouldn't do this alone!"

Impulse runs up the steps, searching for an eye or pearl, "Does anyone have an eye of ender? An enderpearl? Something!"

"...We gave them all to Grian, he was leading."

"...They planned this."

"Scar-"

"We're not giving up." Scar stands, wiping the tears away as he turns to face the small group, "Iskall, take Wels and go get some pearls. Tango you and Hels go get some blaze powder. We're getting to the End."

"Weren't you too harsh my lord?"

"Shut up and fly Rykten."

"I'm just saying, they obviously wanted to help, why not let them."

"There's a good chance we're not getting out of this alive, I'm not subjecting them to that."

"And when we go back alive? How are they going to react when you return?"

"We both know that's a slim possibility."

"It is now. We had three listeners on our side. Three! And the Prince, we could've made this easier."

"I'm not letting my friends, my family, get hurt. This is our fight, not theirs."

"You've gone soft Xelqua."

"If anyone's gone soft it's you Rykten. I mean going against Zerma, asking a traitor to help you, talking to Listeners."

"Yes, because I always wanted to be a perfect Watcher, a puppet for her majesty."

"We can't kill the queen."

A flash of purple stops Grian in his path, having to quickly pull back to not fall into the void,

"The hell was that Rykten!"

"What do you mean we're not killing the queen! The only way to finish this is to kill her and remove her from power!"
