Saving Minecraftia

Chapter 19

*Jason P.O.V.*

        "Ok, so we need to figure out where Herobrine took (Y/N) and possibly Sky and since Herobrine rules over the nether I think that's a good place to start." Seto began.

         "However we don't know where his fortress is" Quentin thought out loud.

        "We can send groups of three into the nether to search for it" Seto replied.

        "That's too risky, the nether is dangerous and even if they do find the fortress they still might not make it back to tell us where it is" I replied.

        "What other choice is there? We don't know how long we have, for all we know it's already to late" Mitch responded.

         "I say we send eight groups of three into the nether. I'll put a spell on each map so when they find new terrain it'll update the corresponding map at the castle. That way we'll be able to see all the progress." Seto explained. "We'll give each of the eight groups a map and once they complete it they'll head back to the nether portal" Seto finished. I thought about it for a second before agreeing along with the others now to prepare for the expedition.

*(Y/N) P.O.V.*

        Theres no way to tell time down here and what might be minutes feels like hours. The scorching heat of the nether caused both of us to sweat buckets leaving us with a constant thirst. We were given food from time to time as well as water but it was never enough to quench our thirst or hunger. Being unable to use my magic made me feel weak and fragile and for all I know 'Sky' could be lying to me what if my powers were gone forever?

         I couldn't feel or see the metal band that was apparently on my neck. For all I know he isn't the real Sky and was trying to earn my trust. Plus it doesen't make sense, why would Herobrine let me have my powers but restrain me why not just take them away?

         My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an iron door opening. I could hear footsteps heading towards Sky and I. Finally Herobrine appeared at the end of the corridor, I was a bit upset it wasn't a pigmen bringing water or food but whatever. He unlocked the door and stepped in only to grab my wrist and pull me out of the cell. Sky who was watching started yelling

        "Take me instead leave her alone!" He shouted at Herobrine. Unfortunately Herobrine ignored him and practically dragged me up stairs through the iron door and to some unknown room. He sat me down in a chair. In the meantime I quickly looked around the room. It was made of the same material as the dungeons and it was furnished with two chairs one of which I was sitting in with a table in between the chairs. I noticed the side I was sitting at the table had piece of metal with a hole in it. Herobrine quickly handcuffed me so the chain was inbetween the hole making it impossible to move to far away from it.

        'What is he going to do? Is he going to torture me? Is he going to kill me?' These thoughts flooded my mind filling me with fear.

        Then he sat down in the chair across from me and leaned over the table before finally speaking up"I have a proposal for you, work for me and help me fight against the kingdoms in the overworld. You'll train here and once we've taken down the kingdoms you can rule whichever one of your choosing." He offered. I didn't want to hurt those people knowing they were good.

        "What if I say no" I said quietly.

        "Then you die" he responded without any hesitation. I didn't want to help him but I didn't want to die either, if I died the prophecy wouldn't be fulfilled right?

         I sighed and quietly responded "I accept" I glanced at him to see he had a huge grin on his face. 'What have I done?'
