Star's POV
Notch teleports himself, Ridgedog, and I to his castle. We appear in a medium sized room. There is a table in the center of the room surrounded by about fifty chairs. Okay. That may be a bit of an exaggeration but, I don't really feel like counting all of them. All four walls of the room are decorated with maps. There's six all together. Yes I can count the maps but I can't count the chairs. Deal with it. One of the Aether. One of the Nether. One of the End. And three of the Overworld. The Overworld maps are separated into Mine Country, Tekkit Territories, and Hexxit Highlands. Also in the room sitting in different chairs at the table are Sparkly, The 'Secret' Boyfriend, Sierra, my dad, and my brother. They all turn to us upon our arrival.
"Hello!" I grin and wave. "Long time no see."
"Long time no see?" Clash questions. "You and Ridge have been gone for three weeks."
"Really? We were there for three weeks? It felt like we were only there for a few days."
"Time passes differently for you doesn't it?" My brother asks somewhat sarcastically.
"Don't know. Maybe." I shrug and immediately regret the motion. I bite my lip in order to hide my pain. Notch and Ridgedog already know about it. The others don't need to know as well.
"Well, why don't we take a seat. Then we can get this meeting started." Notch orders. He takes a seat next to my dad. Ridgedog sits next to Sierra. And I sit in between Ridge and my brother. When I sit I don't sit back all the way. Instead I sit on the edge of the chair so that my back is not brushing against the back of the chair. My shoulder hurt just from Ridge touching it. There's no way I'm letting the chair touch it. "Alright. So I have done some research and I believe I know why the kidnapping of the were-lions took place ten years ago. I think that Brine discovered evidence that a were-lion was born with magic abilities. So he started kidnapping were-lions to find this one special lion. He didn't stop until he found you." Notch directs the statement to me.
"How did he find out before I even knew myself?" I ask.
"There's a book as old as time. There are only two copies of it left. One is here in this castle. I don't know where the other one is. The original three books belonged to Hero, Brine, and myself. We destroyed Brine's copy after the War of Gods. I think that after Brine took over Hero's body he found Hero's book."
"What's so special about this book?" Clash demands wanting to get to the point.
"It's not an ordinary book. The words aren't stationary. They change as time changes. About ten years ago there was a change in the text that I was unaware of until now. I believe that Brine noticed the change ten years ago and that is how he discovered the 'secret of the were-lions'." Notch explains.
"What changed in the book?" Ridge asks. He probably knows more about that thing than the rest of us. Well, Sierra and my dad probably know something about it too.
"In the book, there is a prophecy. One that is frequently referred to as the 'Legacy of the Wither'." Sierra gasps and Ridge looks stunned. They must know what prophecy he's referring to. I on the other hand do not. "Ten years ago another section was added to the Legacy. So now it is as follows:
'Darkness follows
The death of the king.
The world reaches its Wit's End
Yet hope still lives.
A hero born of light.
A child of Ashe.
With ivory hair,
With lavender eyes,
With anemic skin,
Faith reignites
And balance reforms.
A child of the Aether
Stands at his side.
A lion born with great power.
A gift or a curse,
nobody knows.
The girl must decide
To save face
Or abandon grace.
The day the ground turns liquid,
Two friends shall rise.
It will be then,
A clash of swords
Ushers forth
Life and death.
Darkness and light.'"
"Wait! So you think the lion mentioned in the prophecy is me?" I question.
"Yes." Notch replies confidently.
"Holy crap." The fate of the world rests in my hands or hand rather. Maybe even paw instead of hand. "What do I do?"
"Right now, anything you want." Notch tells me. "Don't worry about the prophecy. It can't be fulfilled at the moment anyway."
"Why not?" Antvenom asks.
"Because, Soro is not here." Notch replies calmly.
"What does my son have to do with this!?" Sierra demands.
"He is the first part of the prophecy." Ridge tells her. "He is for all intent and purposes the 'wither' in the 'Legacy of the Wither'."
"So you said for right now I can do anything I want?" I ask for clarification.
"Yes." Notch clarifies.
"Then I would like to go to the Overworld for something."
"Very well then."
"I'd like to go to." Sierra cuts in. She then directs her attention to Ridge. "Do you know where Soro's friends live?"
"Yes." Ridge replies. "I can take you to meet them if you want."
"Yes please."
"Well then let's get going. Who else is coming?"
"I will." My brother is the only one to volunteer.
"Alright. Follow me then." He goes to walk out of the room expecting James, Sierra, and I to follow him. He pauses along the way. "One of Soro's friends is good with healing magic. He may be able to help you." Ridge whispers to me.
