"This sorta feels like when we found the old Order's Temple." I commented as we headed down the stairs.

"That feels like so long ago now..." Jesse sighed.

"And to think, that was only the beginning..." Olivia said.

Rory gave me his goofy grin, so I smiled back at him. I could feel the heat from the lava waterfall that was next to us.

But yet, I could still see...

Ťhęm...

Out of the corner of my eye.

Țhêý hadn't appeared since before the Witherstorms. The mí§ť wôłvëş, they were here.

But why?

----------------

Falconblaze sighed, stretched out on a rock in the sun. Scars showed on her muzzle, some teeth missing, and her nose was ruined, only smelling one eighth of what a human would smell. Hardly anything.

She could only hunt by sound and sight. She always had to have at least one cat with her because if the other Clans, a rogue fox or a badger came...she wouldn't be able to smell it until it was too late.

"I'm kinda jealous of Runningsun and Shrewlight." Wolfshine admitted, sitting next to Falconblaze, "I mean, they're both gay, and they're both really good together. I mean, how am I supposed to get a mate when two toms have fallen head over heels for me?"

"You don't have to have a mate. You're like, fourteen." Falconblaze mumbled.

"But here, I'm so much more...older, in a way. In cat years I'd be like, twenty five or something."

"Mmm..."

"I mean, you understand, don't you?"

"No. I'm asexual. Must I remind you what that means...again?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

Sometimes, in all of her innocent wonder, Wolfshine was annoying.

That was when ťhęý came without warning.

---------

"Jackpot!"

Jesse grinned at the four chests that lay out before us. Then she seemed to realise that there was six of us here.

"I'll watch for monsters." I offered.

I had enough treasure, anyway.

"You sure?" Petra asked. "I could share."

"Nah, I'm fine."

"Well, if Aza's watching out for monsters, then I am too."  Rory said.

He grinned at me. We were a little team in the Order.

Two peas in a pod.

I studied our surroundings. Dark. Very dark. And soon, mobs would come.

Yes. Just like in the game.

But this wasn't a game. Anything could happen. Reuben was saved. I knocked on Death's door and escaped.

"Cake!" Jesse exclaimed.

"Aww...you got cake..." Axel sighed, "It's just that...I love cake..."

"It's all yours."

"Thanks, Jesse!"

Rory started whistling a song I remembered. Of course, my mind decided to sing along.

Hey brother

There's an endless world to rediscover

Hey sister

The water's sweet but blood is thicker

Oh, if the sky comes falling down

For you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.

I heard Jesse announce that she had a pumpkin. She was going to announce that she had something else, but stopped talking before she announced what it was.

It was the enchanted flint and steel. I knew that before I turned around.

"What is that?"

"If I knew I would tell you, Olivia."

"I've seen people enchant flint and steel with Unbreaking, but..."

"That's not Unbreaking."

Rory wandered over to the group. I just looked over at the group. I could see the blue glow.

The blue glow reminded me of...

Wait...

I turned back to the darkness.

Oh no.

I could see ťhêm.

There was a crack and then a bright blue flash filled the place. There were more mist wolves than I thought.

I unsheathed my sword.

The wolves stopped. But then a particularly big one stepped towards me.

"COME TO ME. I HAVE NEED OF YOU."
