Sky dragged Jojo forward, behind the rest of the group. He wasn't helping, dragging his feet mutely.

"Let's rest." suggested Ian. They sat down. Jojo stared numbly through the trees, still in shock. Sky could tell Tim's death had shocked him. He had been closest to him, or as close as he could get in the short time they knew him.

"Jojo..." He began.

Jojo pushed Sky away. "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill herobrine"

The rest of the group glanced at each other. 

"How?" asked Ian. "Tim was the only one who knew the area."

Mitch stepped forward. He pulled a map from his back pocket. "I got this from the bunker. it shows the major landmarks.  i suggest we try here first, the temple of the First Enchantment."

"Sounds promising."

"Jojo," Mitch turned to him, "What was in the bag Tim tossed to you?"

Wordlessly, He dumped out the bags contents. In it were: A torch, a compass, enough food to last a week, a spare sword, several clips of ammunition, an the gun Tim had pulled out.

"Not much." Jojo said. He picked up the gun and checked the cartridge. There were five bullets left. He snapped it back in with a quick click.

"Which way to the temple?"

Mitch glanced at the map. "We need to travel south, which is, " he checked the compass, "That way."

Jojo pushed himself up, keeping the gun out. He grabbed the bag and swung it over his shoulder. "Well, let's hurry."

Everyone got to their feet. With Mitch in the lead, they started toward the temple.

Five hours Later


After trudging through the woods for hour, they finally reached the temple. Ian went to climb the steps, but mith stopped him.

"There might be traps." He said. To show, he  grabbed a rock and tossed it onto the steps. Arrows immediately shot out, sailing into the woods.

The temple itself looked like a regular desert temple. as they made their way inwards, the triggered traps by throwing rocks. Sometimes the traps weren't set off. Once, Ian nearly lost his head to an axe, and the corridor collapsed partway through. Finally, they reached the center of the pyramid.  

Mitch looked around, confused. "This is just a plain room. Where is the book?"

Sky looked down, studying the floor. He pulled out a pickaxe, and mined the floor beside the center of an elaborate pattern. he block fell down into the hole below.

"Just like dessert temples." 

Ian peered down into the hole. "How will we get down there?"

Mitch pulled out a ladder in response. We'll climb."

"How did you fit that in your pocket?!"

Mitch shrugged. "It shrinked when I put it in."

He placed the ladder, carefully  climbing down it. he began placing ladders below him, until they touched the bottom of the shaft.

On the other side of the room was a single chest. They carefully made their way over t it, avoiding the pressure plate in the floor.

Jojo pushed open the chest. inside was a book, shining with a strange lite. on the cover were the words હીરો આંસુ સંરક્ષણ.

He held it up. "This is it."

Sky started dancing around, yelling "We did it!" In his excitement he stepped on the pressure plate. Looking down, he said one word.

"Run!"

Everyone ran to the ladder. they made it halfway up before the world exploded.
