       I lay on my back watching the stars as slowly the pain started to disappear. Those words that Zenix spoke. They intrigue me. What did he mean.
Once the pain was all gone I sit up now having strength. I turn around looking at the grave again. There was a frame, but it was empty? I stood there before holding out my hand.
There was a strong presence, but not coming from the grave, but from somewhere behind me. I quickly turn around to see that light brown haired guard. I keep my cool and turn my back. "This grave. . . who does it belong to?" I ask.
       "An old friend," he said. His voice sent a chill down my spine by the way he said it. "They must have meant something to you. To all of you." I could feel the presence getting stronger. "Well, yes." I squeeze my hands into fists.
       He couldn't be could he? "Ungrth, that was his name. He risked his life to save me. He might not have been human, but he was like family to me." I lift my head looking at the empty frame. "It must have been nice."
"Shadow-Knight," I hear a voice whisper in my head before that pain in my chest came back. I try to hide it again, but let out a small groan. "Tracey?" I shake my head and try to stand up straight the best I can.
"Ya, s-sorry! Excuse ME!" I yelled the last part before running past the grave I to some shrubbery. "WAIT!" I hear the guard yell. I run as fast as I could before I trip down a hill. I was laying on the ground for a good while before standing up. "Man this sucks."

~~One Week Later~~

I sat on my bed under the deck of my boat. I heard footsteps before the door opened and a familiar person walked closer to me. "Well well well, look at Miss Tracey the Shadow-Knight. Not to scary now are ya?" I look at Zenix with a death glare.
"What do you want?" He just looks at me in silence. Nothing came from his lips. I watch as he pulls out a sword. "Well, I kind of need you to tell me everything you know about this place. Also if you know where a nether portal is."
       I couldn't believe it! A nether portal?! Was he insane?! I stand up and my right hand blows into light blue flames. "Get out! I have nothing to talk to you about!" He smirks and shakes his head. "But here is the thing. I know something you might be interested to hear. It's about Zane. Why he actually sent you here."
       It was hard not to say yes, but I refused his offer. Once I did he just. . . left. I sigh and lay back down on my bed to get some more sleep.

       I wake up to another bright day. I change into my normal outfit and place the sword on my back in its holster. I walk to the top deck of my ship and off to the dock. Once I do I hear a noise coming from the top of the hill where Aphmau's house was.
       I walk up the stairs to her door and knock. Not too long later the door opens to reveal Aphmau. "Lady Aphmau, may I speak with you?" I ask. Aphmau looks behind her before back at me. "Sure, why not. Come in." I do as she says and sit at her kitchen table.
       "Zoey took the boys out to play with Kyle so we should have peace and quiet to be able to talk." I nod as I agree with her. "So what is it you wanted to talk about?"
       I took a deep breath before speaking. "I need information on the nearest nether portal. I have heard some rumors and would like to check it right away." Aphmau tilts her head a bit confused of my request. "I don't know Tracey." I stayed quit not knowing how to respond.
       "If you won't tell me it is fine. I understand. Please excuse me Lady Aphmau, but I need some time to think about-," I cut myself off when I felt that strong presence. "Lady Aphmau. . . may I ask for you to come with me please?" She stayed quiet before she looked around. "Why? What's wrong?"
       I looked around the room till they landed on the wall that hid the stair case to downstairs. I quickly walked over there to see that light brown haired guard standing at the top of the steps. "And someone was listening in," I say staring at his sky blue eyes.
       "I should be asking you why you were wondering about a nether portal, and why you have been avoiding me sense the incident last week," the light brown haired guard said. I turn my head to the left to look at Aphmau still sitting at the table.
       "Like I said, I heard a rumor about this portal and wanted to check on it. About the incident a few weeks ago, I got embarrassed so I haven't shown my face to you. If you need more explanation I would happily oblige to tell you."
He stayed quiet and I sighed. "I will be on my way then. By before I go may I know you're name?" The guard stayed quiet for a bit as I was facing the front door. "Laurence." I nod before walking out of the house.
