( ???'s P.O.V )
I gently floated out of the room, the two friends following. The others were keeping that bastard at bay. As much as I cared, they may not be able to do much.

I know I didn't.

I grew concerned for both their allies and mine, as I floated on faster.
"What's your name?" Drake asked. I turned around.

"My name is not important. We must release you two from here." I answered.
The other boy raised his eyebrow, but kept his mouth shut. I turned around and led them through corridors.
"The diamond." I began, looking over my shoulder as we turned towards another series of pathways. They both looked at me.
"The Sacred Diamonds. They will not hold out much longer." I wasn't worried about about what I said. I was dead, after all.
"How do you know about them...?" Armen asked.
"Those reasons are best remained unknown. Now, back to what I was discussing."
They both turned from eachother and at me. I smiled. I used to have a friendship as strong as their's.

"As I said, they will not last. Their power is beginning to drain out. On purpose, at that." I led them down stairs.
"Well what do you mean?" The half Enderman asked.
"Wait, wait, before you answer that, I want to know." The other boy interrupted.
"What were those shadows back at that room?"
I turned from them.
"Allies."

We passed by a large room. Everything here was netherrack, something I and the others got accustomed too. Such a bland color to me now.
"Once the diamonds are destroyed, and you haven't escaped, you both will become one of us. That scoundrel did such cruelty to get rid of you both. You both need to escape before they become red or get demolished."
I paused.
"We've been gathering information for years."
"How do you know all of this?" Drake asked, picking up the pace. Armen did aswell.
I looked over at them seeing Drake holding his chin and looking down. His eyes widen, his expression looking as if he figured something out.
"What happens when they all turn red?"

"I could only think of two things. One, you both become like us. The other one, you both die. Armen, since well, you have unfortunately already passed, you will be sent back to the afterlife. Which either way, you both could become his new puppets."
Their eyes widen.
"Well, what happens if we were to escape, and then the diamonds were to turn red? What's happening? Where are we? Who are you? Who's-"
"Calm. I will explain everything. Right now, as we speak, our allies are fighting with Him. Stalling. So we could get both of you released."

Seeing that they weren't pestering me with questions, I continued.
"During these moments, your allies, the ones you know personally, are well, in trouble. No, not up to the extent where they will die." I quickly added when the raven-haired boy opened his mouth.
"Let's hope." I cautiously said.
"Where we are, well, we'd all think Herobrine's mind."
They both stopped dead in their tracks. The blue eyed boy stopped too fast, as he stumbled to the ground.
"I'm sorry, what?" Armen asked looking up at me.
"You heard what I said. Now come, we must hurry."
"Why are you so calm?" Drake asked, helping up his friend.
I turned around.

"I'm not. Do not get me wrong, I have confidence in both of you. You've survived longer then any of us have. Impressive, to say the least. But, it's spreading quickly. We are dealing with quite a lot, if you haven't noticed."
They looked at eachother, then back at me.
"As for who I am-" I paused.
"Just call me a friend."
They blinked.
One of them gasped.
"Watch out!!-" They were cut off when something hit me in the back of my head, knocking me to the floor.
I heard two more thumps.

Before I completely passed out, He grabbed me by my neck.
"Heh. Trying to give them answers eh? I can't have that. And you had the others try and take care of me? How idiotic." He hissed, throwing me forcefully in the wall. My whole world went black.
