Chapter 10 is finally up! Sorry for anyone who was confused if I had published this earlier. I accidentally hit publish when I was still editing it so I had to remove it. Sorry about that but please enjoy this chapter!
Thanks for bringing this back to me, Jesse."
Jesse turned around to face Aiden holding the flint and steel and smiling mockingly at him. Jesse's first reaction was anger. "Dude, why are you being such a tool?!" Jesse shot at Aiden, which caused his smile to fade. "What do you know, Jesse?" Aiden spat. "You've been sitting at the very top ever since you became the new order, stealing treasure after treasure right before my eyes! How do you think that makes ME feel?" Jesse looked down. He never thought of it that way.
"When I saw you and your friends walking around and being cheered by people, it reminded me how much I hated you. You hogged all the glory like the greedy man you are while I was forced to watch. And when you thought I wasn't needed, you call on your friends to get rid of me! And now, Maya and Gill are gone..... IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Aiden screamed at the top of his lungs, causing Ivor to cover his ears. "I actually don't know the feeling of being at the top." Steve chimed in. "Nobody asked you!" Aiden snapped. "But Aiden, I'm in the same place you are now!" Jesse said, trying to reason with him. "You expect me to believe that? I'm going through that portal, Jesse, whether you like it or not!" Aiden zoomed past him and disappeared into the portal. Ivor, Steve and Darryl quickly followed, and then Jesse.
Jesse appeared falling toward an island in the sky. He didn't notice that when he landed, he knocked Ivor, causing him to slip off the edge. Jesse caught him and pulled him up. "You are surprisingly heavy!" Jesse said between breaths. "I am the proportionate weight for my height, thank you very much!" Ivor responded. Steve and Darryl walked up to the both of them with concerned faces. "Okay, what just happened? How does that portal even work?" Jesse asked no one. "I'm guessing the same as a portal to the nether works." Steve stated. "Except to an entirely different world." Ivor finished. "Anybody see Aiden? Or Petra, Olivia, and Axel?" Jesse asked. "Haven't smelt Petra's perfume, so I'm going to say no." Ivor replied.
Jesse and Steve walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He didn't see anything. "So, how far down do you think that goes?" Jesse asked him. "I don't think there's a limit. It probably keeps going forever." Steve replied. Jesse walked to the other side, but this time he saw a huge floating city. "Am I going crazy, or am I seeing a city?" "Unless we're both going crazy." Steve replied. Ivor started bouncing up and down. "That's where it must be! The Eversource!" "We can probably get over there if we build a bridge, but we're probably going to have to dig out this island." Jesse stated. "Let's get to it then!" Ivor said impatiently.
The three lined up next to each other with the dirt they collected from levelling the island. Darryl hid behind Steve. The three began creating the bridge, placing dirt blocks over the next, but Ivor broke off and began building something next to the bridge. Once he finished, he caught up to Jesse and Steve as they completed the bridge. "Alright, this is our stop, everybody off!" Jesse said as they stepped foot on the city island. Steve turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Ivor, what's that supposed to be?" Steve asked as he viewed Ivor's lava sculpture. "It's a memoir for my lava house. Long live lava!" Ivor exclaimed.
"Y-you're building!" A man stuttered and began walking backwards. Jesse turned around and smiled. "Yeah we're building, is something wrong with that?" Jesse asked. "Wait, you don't know?" The man asked. "You were building! Unauthorized building is against the law!" The man told them. "The law?" Ivor assured. "This is why I live in a forest. No laws there!" Steve joked. "This is making me very nervous. First those other outsiders, then that loud guy, and now you?" "Other outsiders?" Ivor pursued the man. "Petra." Jesse thought. "Where are they now?" Jesse asked. "Th-they went to the Inn! I'm sorry that's all I know. I'm super busy, sorry!" The man yelled and ran off. "I wonder if everyone here is that nervous." Ivor stated.
They walked through the entrance gate that read "Sky City" and looked around. "Wow!" Jesse exclaimed. "I've never seen so many rare things in one place!" Steve said as he eyed the materials used for the buildings. "Clearly the Eversource is capable of miraculous things!" Ivor told Steve. "So what are we supposed to do?" Steve asked. "We've got to find Aiden, Petra and the others and stop them before they hurt anyone." Jesse confirmed. "Good luck finding anything here but guards in crappy uniforms." Ivor said. "We should look for the inn that nervous guy mentioned. Maybe we'll find them there." Jesse explained. "Let's split up and look around." Steve suggested.
Darryl walked behind Steve and looked at the people staring at him. Have they never seen a wolf? Ivor walked up to someone and started having a conversation with them. Jesse noticed a guard with a women building a house and decided to talk to them. "Captain Reginald, at your service." The guard named Reginald introduced himself before Jesse could talk. "So what are you guys up to?" Jesse asked him. "Just supervising this citizen while she does her build." Reggie answered, with his hands behind his back. "The founder finally approved my petition!" The women said. "The founder?" Jesse questioned. "That's her palace up there. She's the keeper of the Eversource. Builds everything you see." Reginald explained. "The founder builds EVERYTHING?" Jesse said in disbelief. "It's pretty impressive, isn't it?" Reginald admitted. "I'm looking for the inn, know where that is?" Jesse asked. "It's back over thataway, Milo's place." Reginald told him. Jesse thanked him and walked away.
Jesse turned around the corner and indeed, he saw the Inn sign with two people standing at the entrance. "Get out of here, go go!" One told the other and the other quickly took off. "Oh, hello there. What do you need?" The man greeted. "I'm sorry, are you Milo?" Jesse asked. "Yes that's me. Now, what can I do for you, friend?" Milo said. "I heard you talked to the Order of the Stone earlier." Jesse tried to ask him about his friends.
"Hmmm, I don't know any 'Order of the Stone,' you must have been mislead." Milo said while backing away. "It's like I told those other outsiders, I can't help you." "Now if you excuse me-" Milo was turning away to leave when he noticed there were others. "Has he told you where to find the others?" Ivor popped up along with Steve and Darryl. "How many of you are there? I told you, I don't know anything!" Milo tensed, getting nervous. "It's okay Milo, you can trust us." Jesse smiled.
Milo sighed. "If you really want to know, that Petra girl did come talk to me earlier, she wanted to know where the Eversource is." Milo confirmed. "Called it!" Ivor shouted. "I told her what everyone already knows. The Eversource is IN the palace WITH the founder." Milo finished. "And Aiden?" Jesse asked. "You mean the insane one? He asked me the same question not too long after. I gave him the same answer, and he bolted to the palace." Milo answered. "What a nutcase." Steve said. "I wasn't fond of him either." Milo admitted.
"Attention everyone!" Reginald called. "Just a moment of your time please! Town meeting, attendance is mandatory!" "Oh, slime blocks!" Milo cursed. "Curious. I wonder what that's all about." Ivor said and they all walked toward the gathering.
Long chapter, I hope you enjoyed. This one was kinda similar to episode 5 but with a few changes. Be on the lookout for chapter 11!
