The Battle For Sky Book 1: A Dark Secret

Chapter 36

Hero's POV

3 weeks ago in the Aether...

"Dad!" My son called out to me as he was teleported away.

Notch and I killed the remaining squids that had attacked us, and I stood there in front of the portal worried beyond my wits end about Sky. I couldn't help but feel as though my son was still in danger. My brother walked up to me and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. He can handle himself Hero," Notch told me before we felt a powerful surge of energy come from out of nowhere.

My brother's eyes widened in shock as he whispered, "Damian.."

I had recognized the energy signature almost instantly as well. That was without a doubt his son Damian. He had been missing for over five hundred years and I had begun to believe that the kid was dead up until the fight with Dawn. But no, he's alive and he's using magic. But compared to last night, his magic wasn't as blood thirsty and dark as it is now...His magic was more- what's the word?...More defensive and caring now..Like when he fought alongside us during the Hybrid Wars...But then again his magic would alternate between what it was last night and what it is now though..

My brother's eyes were still wide with shock before he called for two girls," Bella! May! Come here quickly!" My brother commanded as two girls appeared almost instantly.

One was wearing a black T-shirt and black skinny jeans, gray combat boots, and had blood red eyes and pure white hair. The other had black glasses, an aquamarine turtle neck, light blue skinny jeans, and black combat boots. She also had ice blue hair and deep blue eyes as well.

"I need you two to go to the Sky Army immediately! I believe that someone powerful may be there and if so then I want him brought here. I don't care if you have to threaten him, or endanger someone close to him in order to make him come. I just want him here as soon as possible!" Notch spoke quickly as another wave of powerful energy passed by and all of us were knocked off of our feet.

The two girls got onto their feet quickly, and they were handed something from Notch before they ran off. I thought it was a photo or something. I could tell that something was diffidently off about my brother..If anything, he would've gone after his son himself instead of sending two girls after him without even telling them who he was! It was like he was somebody else or something. Plus Notch should've been happy to see his son so powerful and to be alive if anything..But something isn't right with my brother, I can feel it.

"Are you sure about this Notch? Is this really necessary? What if you're making a mistake here?" I asked my brother trying to find anything suspicious about his response as he started to walk out of the portal room.

"I'm not taking any chances when it comes to that boy..I'm not making a mistake here Herobrine," Notch said as he stepped into the door way of the room before he said,"He's extremely powerful Hero, I'm not going to take any chances when it comes to my son.."

He walked out of the room mumbling to himself. I could barely here make it out but I heard him clear as day though-

"Or that girl he kept alive for so long.."

Damian's (Derp's) POV

Current day three weeks later..

I looked over my shoulder towards the window that was in the room I was in. I narrowed my eyes and stepped into the comfort of the shadows.

It was night time and I was standing guard over Ender, Wither, and Soul as they slept. I couldn't sleep tonight- something just felt off..I saw Soul turn in the blankets of her bed. She was facing me but she was still asleep.
