Herobrine's Tale: The Warrior

Keys

[FLASH FORWARD]

I fell, wind whistling in my ears. My hair flew behind me. Below me, a river snaked through the gorge. 50 blocks. 30 blocks. 10 blocks. I closed my eyes.

SPLASH

I hit the water with such force, I did not become aware of the whirlpool until I was sucked under. Water rushed in my ears and I allowed myself to be taken through the hole.

Looking around, I saw shocked faces of party goers in dresses and suits. Lights were dim and there was a stage. On that stage was Notch in the middle of a speech. Amber and Nya sat behind him. To Notch's right was Adam, Ashley and............some other girl. Her face was hidden by shadow. She wore all back as if grieving. Poor girl.

"Hello Lily! We're so glad you could join us. I was just discussing how your husband- sorry fiance- is the reason HH was formed. All the respectable people here are new members of HH and HH....uh....spies if you will. Agents. Now, Amber, please give Miss Torchwood a dress or some other suitable clothing. This is a party after all." His voice was dripping with honey so much that any sweeter and I'd puke. Amber stepped down and led me to the door. We walked in silence until I broke the ice.

"I thought you'd be happy to see me. I don't understand what you have against me. I've only been gone a few days. Obviously I was wrong?"

"Ok- that's it. What is your game? Did you take jerk pills or something? Why?" She hissed.

"First- I have not taken any pills. Second- what game? Third- what happened in a few days that could make you like this? Well Miss-I-want-to-ruin-my-friend's-love-life, I was lead to my grave, dreamed horrors, found out why the Universe hates me, woke up, got arrested for murder, got broken out, jumped off a cliff, and now I'm here. I haven't even killed anyone! Why?"

"Newsflash girl. Not a few days. A few years. 2 years 4 months and 12 days. What could happen? You did murder though. You don't remember? Burning you house? You parents did in those flames. Tay is............unavailable right now. There were witnesses. 36 people saw you set fire to the home and stand in the street, watching it burn. "

WHAT? "I........but I.........didn't...." Ok Lily stop. Diamond heart remember? You can't lose it now. Pull yourself together. "I don't know what you are talking about." My face remained emotionless.

"Lily, where did you go? Where is my Lily? What happened?" She looked on the verge of tears.

"She stands right in front of you. As for what happened? Seven Devils. Notch lies. He may look like a strong brick wall but he shows you a simple picture. Look at him from the front, he is solid. Look at him from the side and his wits are paper thin. We are the Seven Devils. You, me, Adam, Ashley, Nya, Herobrine, and one more. We are the most powerful in Minecraftia. We kill Notch. We end it all. Go look for it. Ever wondered why Notch is so sure to make sure that you are on his side? He is scared of you. Seven Devils walk around him."

"Lily please stop. Stop this nonsense. Let us help you." She held out her hand. I pushed it away.

"No. I go back there I die. Don't you see? If what you said about the fire was real, Notch killed my parents, framing me. He put me in the stone casket to keep me out of the way for a bit." I pressed a small diamond key into her hand. "Notch must never find this. Once the Mind Palace fell it deadlocked right? Protocol 16- In the event of Notch's power detected on the Mind Palace premises, the Palace locks. Not more black holes, no more keypad.  This is how you get in. If Notch gets into the Palace, he gains ultimate power and this will end very very badly. The Palace is a center of power. Herobrine's life source, the one thing Notch needs to conquer us all. Kill Herobrine, this all ends. It can become a weapon. Keep it secret, keep it safe. The key will disappear until you need it. I need out of here, where is your room?"

"I......but how? Sure um......down the hall, pink door on the left. Why?"

"I need a change of clothes, make-up, and a dress. Amber this is a party. A dress will blend." I entered her room. On her bed laid my emerald dress. I wore that dress to the Champion Ball. I felt the smooth fabric flow over my shoulders as I put the dress on. Finding her make-up, I primped with green eye shadow and pinned my hair in a long braid down my back. In my hair glittered my diamond tiara- now a full crown- and long green ribbons. Notch needed to know he was messing with a queen. Queen of the Mind Palace, (almost) Wife of Herobrine, Wielder of Herobrine, One of the Seven Devils, Downfall of Notch.

"Hello Notch. Now that I am properly dressed, I welcome anything you have to say." All eyes turned to me. "Would you care to tell these lovely people what you have hidden from them? What lengths you would go to to win?"

"You look beautiful. Like a queen, almost." Cold smiles. Lies. A mask over the truth.

"A compliment which cannot be extended to yourself." I said gracefully. 

"A queen would call it impertinent." He was challenging me.

"A queen would compliment the execution of the plan before arranging one. Watch where you step you silly little man. You have messed with Fates. Seven Devils unto you." Trap laid. The color drained from Notch's face.

"Out! And take your devils with you." I smiled triumphantly and exited the room. Before stepping out the door I turned back to him.

"I will warn you. You are in way over your head. You fiddle with powers that burn through history. You are a small man on a grown man's field. And one more thing." Lightening fast, I whipped out a knife and flung it at Notch.

Inches from his face, the knife stopped and hung in midair. 

"STOP!!!" The woman in black who had been sitting quietly was now standing. Her voice quivered with rage and her shroud had fallen, revealing the face of Tay Torchwood. She was pointing at the knife and her hand glowed purple. "Why Lily? Why bring our parents into all this? Why them?"

"TAY!? Notch how dare you. Telling her I killed our parents?! If you have forgotten, you put me in a coffin for 2 BLOODY YEARS!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, this scum had destroyed my life. He messed with my life every step of the way. First burning me and telling everyone I was dead. Next, you crash my wedding and take my fiance! YOUR BROTHER!!! Then you scare the pants off of me, make a grave stone, a coffin, and put me out for 2 years. Then you ruin my life, kill my parents, turn my sister against me, and tell everyone I DID IT? WHAT KIND OF PSYCO MANIAC ARE YOU??? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT I LOVE HEROBRINE???? PLEASE?? WE DISAPPEARED AND SWORE TO LEAVE EVERYONE ALONE!!! YOU STILL COME LOOKING FOR US???" I screamed at him. Amber flinched.

"Are you quite done Lily?" Amber asked quietly.

"Yes. Yes I believe I am." I stormed out of the party room and ran down the halls of HH.
