The Huntress of Mianite

An Old Enemy (FINALE PART, PREPARE FOR TEARS)

I expected the father of the gods to be Time, or something. Nope. If things got any creepier, then I'd say 'Happily Ever After' was just a tall tale.

Personally, from what I noticed, I thought that the parents were mere mortals, one of them being a famous blacksmith. I remember their names distinctly; Akemi Kikoku, who was the one who made the cursed blade Tucker uses (I hate that thing, I know something will happen to me involving it soaked in my clear blood.), and Botan Kikoku. Something about that name shook me.

Boy, was I wrong.

The day was quite busy. Everyone was getting ready to be sent to the city where Dianite's Body rests, the Dwarven city of Thel Oilhm. I was ready. I stood there, in a new attire, an overcoat that had flared short sleeves, a thick hood that held a silver circlet, the symbol of the right-hand man, or in my case, woman, and was over a pink tube top that had a corset wrapped around my abdomen. My legs were dressed in baggy pants {kinda like Jasmine's from Aladdin}, with knee high brown boots. I had leather wraps around my hands, that stretched to my elbows, that were dyed a deep purple. I had silver accessories around my wrists, which was for décor.

I had a quiver strapped to my back, carrying my arrows, and a new bow, which I dubbed 'Equivalous Maximum', as it sounded very regal and bold. It was gold and iron, which I wrapped around the handhold the remains of my first ceremonial robe. I finger combed my auburn hair, which Martha, being the magical friend she is, offered to magically dye my ends. Now, it looked like I had periwinkle spikes in my hair, which was swept to the right.

In case you haven't noticed, I gained a little bit of my old Enderskin after falling through the void. It was on my left eye, so it looked like I was severely burned. But, if you look at it up close, its actually quite majestic. Due to human DNA and Endermen DNA combining, it was smooth as the rest of my skin, with starry markings outlining much of my cheeks and forehead.

Around my eye, there are three bigger ones that Tom pointed out as 'looking like Orion's Belt'. According to Tom, Orion was a hunter much like me, who followed another goddess, named Artemis. I felt proud. I mean, its kinda ironic, right? Anyways, I removed my makeup, except for some lip gloss and violet eye-shadow. My eyelashes were kinda unique, as they were pure white by genetics. My eyes stood out much more vibrantly, much like the Enderdragon's. They glowed more bright, as well. Its what many High Enderchildren achieve, after reaching the age of 318.

I stood next to Martha, as we waited for the heroes to arrive. I couldn't wait to see the other heroes' reaction to my transformation. Only Tom and Martha know of my evolution. I exhaled, and Martha asked, "You ready?" I nodded. I've also grown a bit more cryptic, because I said, "I am, but I sense a calm. Its like the world is waiting for something chaotic to happen." She nodded. We saw the heroes and Mot approach, and I waved. As the group approached, Sonja tilted her head.

"What happened to Zakida?" She asked, pointing towards me. Tom smirked, and Mot furrowed his brow. "Suddenly, she looks like me, but not a creeper. Like an Enderman." He said, hands on his hips. Waglington walked over, and investigated a bit more. He gently poked my cheek, and looked into my eyes. I blinked, and said, rolling my eyes, "Its me, Wag, I simply evolved." Tucker chimed in, "Like a Pokemon?" I looked at him quizzically, and Martha reminded him, "She doesn't know much about your world, Tucker."

After we discussed my current look, Mot clasped his hands together, and said, "Let's get the show on the road, yeah?" Martha said, "Same method as the crypt, but keep on high guard. Me and Zakida sense a very bad presence here in the world. Much worse than Mianite."

We proceeded, and appeared at the base of a cavernous shaft. I looked around, and felt a sense of eerie mystery, Adventure, and disaster sure to come. We ventured, lead by Andor, to many hallways. They were to test our wits and use of the 'horcruxes', as Jordan called them, and we finally made it to an enormous room, that replicated a cavern, complete with... What were those Netherrack stalactites pointing to?
