Fawn's POV
I watched Angel, listening to his story intently. It seemed as though one story, this one, had caused Angel pain to say. Tears trickled down onto the ground, wear they sizzled and evaporated into steam. He trudged a lot slower, as if the story seemed to weigh him down.
"Why do you think I keep my personal life secret?" Angel whispered. "Ever since, I abandoned my family like that, I've felt like a worthless heap. I just want to redeem myself."
"Did someone say something?" Kai asked, turning around to look at the two of us. She looked at me with a suspicious look and turned to Angel with the same cunning smile.
"Oh, nothing at all. Er, just talking to myself." I replied.
"Guys, I think I just found something.." Daisy said, pointing to an iron helmet with a dent in it. "I don't think anyone's made it this far before."
"Yeah, and it's not like we make the most stealthy team." Cara reminded, pointing at Angel. "We have a giant dragon, a queen, myself with wings, a sorcerer, a sorcerer's assistant, and someone's cousin."
"Which in one way, make's us a very wanted um, sixuple?" Kai said.
"Well then.." Angel blurted, and tried to cover his words.
"Wait, did Angel just, talk?" Kai asked.
"Maybe?" I said, trying to cover up Angel's speaking ability.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" a loud voice yelled.
We looked up, and saw a Nether Fortress. Well, for the most part it looked like a Nether Fortress, with a few adjustments. Instead of an open gateway, a barricaded obsidian door stood. Spikes edged the rim of the gate, and at the top, three wither skeletons were holding bows and wearing iron armor.
"Hey kid, I told you, what are you doing here?" the skeleton repeated. "I'm giving you to the count of 3. 1...."
I looked at the rest of my group. Angel, who was grinning, Kai, Daisy, Sparrow, and Cara looked mildly amused.
"2....."
Err, what was I going to do? Impending doom, or umm-
"3!" The skeleton said triumphantly. "Feel the power of arrows!"
It pulled back its bow, and had an arrow angled toward me. It let go, and I turned to avoid the arrow. Unfortunately, it didn't hit me in the head, but it got my shoulder instead. Blood fell down my shoulder, and I winced as I ripped the arrow out of my shoulder.
Immediately, fire danced in my shoulder and I gripped my shoulder in agony. I glared at the skeleton who shot the arrow, and immediately realized who I was. Smart, or else I would have strangled him to death. The skeleton whispered to its colleague, and waved its hand. Right afterwards, the battle paused.
"So, you are the Creeper Queen, so said?" the elder skeleton asked, staring at me suspiciously.
"Umm, yeah!" I said. "Do I need a birth certificate? 'Cause I'm pretty sure this sword only answers to one person." I held Serphentise close to my chest.
"You better believe it!" Serphentise muttered.
The skeleton looked at us for a little while longer. Then, he grudgingly nodded and gestured to the group to enter. The obsidian doors squeaked on its hinges.
"Welcome to the Wither Kingdom."
