So, I've been here for... as long as I can remember, and that's long considering I'm 16. There isn't much here, just the creme stone, the obsidian towers with the crystals, enderman, and Dad. The Enderdragon. And then of course, there's me. I don't look much like my dad, but my wings and tail can tell you otherwise. But for the most part, I look like a human.
I have reddish brown hair that covers my right eye. I normally wear a white shirt that has a black outline, and jeans. I also have black and purple sneakers, and my beloved headphones that glow bright green. the things that set me apart from a human are as follows- my black wings, my black tail, my fangs, and my glowing green eyes. I usually wander the End, my home, and occasionally spar with enderman.
It's super boring here, and it seems bright to me. My dad says otherwise, but I've never left this place, so I don't understand what he means. That is, until he starts to beat down on me. He'll swing by and knock the wind out of me with his ten foot tail. The one day, he landed and took a swipe at my shoulder with his claws. I still have a scar from that.
He finally crossed a line when he took his claws to my face, and made four deep score marks on my cheek and chin. It bled and somehow, didn't hurt. But he'd still crossed the line, and I went through our special stronghold underground, and found the portal that was always shut. I took the final eye of ender out of the nearby chest, and locked it into its case. The portal lit up, and the lava underneath glowed through the portal's center.
I leapt into it, not knowing what to expect, or knowing where the portal would take me. The portal dropped me in the middle of nowhere, in a spiky substance. I opened my eyes, and was blinded. I shut my eyes quickly, and stood up. My eyes fluttered open, slowly getting used to the light.
The substance I'd landed in was bendable, and easily ripped. It was a color I'd never experience before in nature in my life- green. The nature I'm used to is creme, dull purple, black, and gray. The sky wasn't full dark purple, but light blue, a color I'd only ever seen in books. Around me were things I've never seen in my life. I thought trees only existed in stories.
Stumbling around in the light, still unaccustomed to it, I blindly walked around, until I saw a shadow above me. I was under a tree, but this shadow was smaller, and darker. Someone was on the tree. I looked up, and saw a figure. It was a super dark figure from my perspective, so I couldn't catch any details, except for a glimpse of bright yellow near or on the face. Suddenly, they just flat out disappeared.
A voice came from behind me," Are you okay?" I spun to find the figure standing there, but I could see detail now. He had longish dark brown hair in a short ponytail. He wore a dark gray t-shirt, black jeans, maroon shoes, a golden amulet with a purple gem, and dark sunglasses. I couldn't see his eyes. He takes a step toward me, and I step back warily.
He puts his gloved hands in front of him, showing that he wanted no harm. "I'm Sky. I don't wanna hurt you, I just want to help." he takes another step, and I let him approach. He steps under the tree, and he extends a hand to me. "Take it. I need to help you. Those cuts look bad."
I hesitantly take his hand, and I'm suddenly somewhere else. I'm in a bedroom, and the sudden change in terrain makes me lose my balance. I stumble, and Sky sets me upright. "Where the hell am I?" I ask. He smirks and answers, "My room. Enjoy while I get some bandages."
I sit on the bed as he disappears through a doorway. He reappears with some bandages, a towel, and some rubbing alcohol. He fixes the score marks on my face fairly quickly, and sits down on his bed next to me. "What's your name?" he asked. I have no reason not to, so I tell him,"Ty. Or if you wanna be proper and make me mad, call me Enderlox." He laughs and says, "I'll just call you Ty. Man, where'd you come from? I just saw you appear in the fields."
"I came through my home portal, and it dropped me there." Sky looks slightly shocked, and asks, "You came here... from the END?! How'd you manage that?" I cock my head, "Through our portal. How else?" He gets to his feet and paces in front of me. "So you're telling me, that there's a PORTAL in the End?" I nod, "What else would I be telling you?"
He stops to ponder an idea, but jumps almost 3 feet in the air when there's a knock at the door. "Sky! Five minutes. Dinner's ready son." Sky calls out," Okay Dad. I'll be down in a moment." He looks at me, and tells me to stay put. He also says to stay as quiet as possible. No one can know I'm here for reasons unknown to me.
He leaves the room looking stumped.
