I stared in horror and shock. Large black wisps were flying around the village. They destroyed everything they went through, and fires started. Villagers were screaming, but couldn't do anything about it.

"Holy Notch..." Charlie ran ahead.

I ran up along side him. "Do you know what those things are?!"

He looked frustrated. "Some kind of dark magic..."

We made it to the village. There were only about 5 black wisps, but they were moving fast and being productive.

Charlie tried to swipe at one with his sword, but it just went straight through, leaving the wisp on its merry way.

"Jewel!?" I yelled. "Jewel!"

My little furry rabbit ran out of a hole and into my arms.

"Get to somewhere safe." I told her. I wasn't sure if she understood me, but she jumped away.

One of our villager friends were about to be impaled by a wisp, but I quickly pulled him out of the way. I didn't know what would happen if those things would connect with people, but I didn't want to.

"Are you okay?" I yelled at him over the screaming and weird noises. He nodded.

"How did this all happen?!"

He pointed to the priest's tall structure. At the top, the priest himself was standing on the edge, his arms spread out, and his head tilted up. He seemed like he was chanting something, but his eyes were an unnaturally bright and glowing purple. Yes, I know my eyes are purple, but his are different. Wait, why were my eyes purple? I'll have to think about that later.

Charlie and I ran to the door of the tower. We got inside, and started climbing up, him first. 

When I got to the top, Charlie was staring at Bill the fourth, who was barely levitating off the ground.

"Stop this!" Charlie roared.

The priest turned his head, grinning. "Never. I have never had this much power."

"You will destroy yourself as well!" I yelled. I honestly didn't know if that would happen, but it sounded good.

He sneered. "Please. You don't even know who you are. You don't know the power you can hold. If you join Lord Herobrine, you will be unstoppable. You would finally realize your true power."

That shook me. I stumbled back. "You don't know anything. You are just jealous because I rock purple eyes better than you."

"Stand down, or we will destroy you." Charlie stepped forward.

"You will destroy me?" He laughed and sent a black wisp toward Charlie.

"No!" I jumped in the way. Classic movie thing, I know. But something was telling me to go. Not something evil, but... I don't know... good. The black wisp went into me, and the world turned black.

Charlie saw the black wisp fly toward him. He stepped back a few steps, and saw Kat jump in the way. The black wisp entered her, and she fell to the ground.

Charlie yelled, but he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Bill's eyes widened at Kat. He looked... confused.

Charlie took this chance to attack the priest.  He ran over and pushed him off the top of the tower. The priest fell, and hit the ground. Charlie knew he wasn't dead, because the priest groaned and shifted. A black and purple wisp came out of him, and flew off into the distance. Charlie noticed that all of the other wisps followed it away.
