Laurence's pov
I sprinted through the Nether, Zenix at my side, our breathing heavy, sweat trickling down our foreheads. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. I had thought this would go perfectly, but it didn't. I had made a plan to stop Shad and had convinced all the rebel Shadow Knights to go along my plan. Now, everyone that joined me is dead. The only people who made it out alive are myself and Zenix. We had just barely escaped the Nether fortress with our lives. I glanced behind us and saw dozens of Shadow Knights who were loyal to Shad chasing after us. I looked back in front of me and saw the Nether portal. It was so close, yet so far. It wouldn't be much longer before Zenix and I collasped, but we kept pushing on. Finally, we reached the portal. We were just about to go through when the portal somehow disappeared. Zenix and I turned around, hoping that we would be able to get out of this area before the other Shadow Knights reached us, but it was too late. The other Shadow Knights approached us slowly, savoring this moment. There was nothing Zenix and I could do but wait for our deaths to come.
