The Corrupted Rule (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

~Mari's POV~
"Father, may you open the Nether Portal? Luke and I have some business to take care of." Luke and I bowed our heads low to my father, who sat on his throne staring us down. "And for what reason should I?" He asked. I began to stoop on one knee, staring up at him with a hand over my chest. "As you may or may not know, Ender is smoking our minions, more than a hundred at a time. We think that it is because of her missing child. We were going to try and calm her." I muttered. Luke side glanced at me, his eyebrows furrowed a bit. "Hm. We can't have that...Very well, then. As long as Luke goes with you, you may go..." My father agreed, raising a hand. Luke and I looked behind us, a purple portal surrounded in Obsidian opening at the end of the long hall. "Thank you, Father. We will be back shortly to tell you of nothing but success." I stood with Luke at my side. We turned and began to dash off through the hallway. We stopped as we approached the portal. Luke looked at me, smiling brightly. "Ready to go, Mari?" He asked me. Solemnly, I nodded. On the count of three, we both jumped through the portal. In what seemed after a second, we were thrown onto a bedrock surface. "Ow." We both had grunted as we got up. I dusted off my black pants, then straightening the pack over my shoulder. "What's in the backpack? We won't be here that long, will we?" Luke asked as he poked it awkwardly. He acted as if I had explosives in it...Which wouldn't have been a bad thing to put in there now that I think about it... "Who knows. And I just have some supplies if we can't calm that maniac dragon..." I muttered. "We're not gonna kill her, alright? We're going to calm her WITHOUT VIOLENCE." Luke warned as he poked my pack again. "Hm. Sure, Pacifist." I eyed him strangely as I looked up; it seemed as if a dark abyss loomed before us. "Ready to go?" I asked with a slight smile on my face. "Duh!" Luke said as he ran ahead of me. "W...Wait up! You don't know where you're going!" I yelled as I chased after him.

~Sky's POV~
We all watched as James began grabbing egg shells off of houses and doorsteps, dropping them into a trashcan. "Q, where's the dang towels?" He asked the boy beside him; he wore a white t-shirt with a blue jacket zipped over it with brown pants. His black orbs fixated on James'. "Where did I put them? I told YOU to get them." He stated as he threw a carton into the bin. ¨No, you didn't!" James argued. "Yes, you did!" Q retorted. The two went on and on, which made the rest of us bored. "Hey, Sky, aren't Kitty and Noelle supposed to be back by now?" Benja asked, elbowing me. "Yep. How about we all go and visit them while Q and James finish cleaning up the place?" I asked. Everyone nodded as we walked off toward a dock, a ship coming into view. "Kitty! Noelle!" We shouted, waving. Seto stood off to the side, sighing. Slowly, the ship stopped and the two jumped off of it, grinning at us. "Hey, guys. It's been a while, hasn't it?" One of the girls asked; She wore a white shirt with a black leather jacket. She also wore brown pants and black shoes. She stretched a bit, standing on her tippy toes. "Yeah, it has. Did you find your father yet?" Benja asked. Kitty frowned at this. "No." She replied. Everyone looked at Noelle as she walked towards the Kingdom. "Uh, Noelle?" I asked. She turned to me, tilting her head. "What?" She asked. "Where are you going..?" Deadlox asked. Noelle smiled. "I'm going to go to the Wizard, remember?" She said before continuing to a tall Tower. "Let me go with you!" I shouted, catching up with her. "Me too!" Emily said, following behind. "We'll all go." Benja said. The group followed behind us, grinning. "Eh...I guess I kind of have to follow; no one can visit the Wizard without me coming along." Seto sighed. We all began talking and laughing as we left to the Wizard's.
