A Destructive Reality - A Gameknight999 Story

18 - Faded Light

18

Hunter opened her eyes and found herself in a cave. It stunk and was very humid. Her hair began to puff so she put it up with her band around her wrist. She stood up and hit her head on the ceiling. She bit her lip and went on all fours. It was dark but where was a very faint sources of light and she followed.

"You'll die if you get any closer."

Hunter shot around and saw a very tall figure behind her. It was crouching over and was holding something.

She smirked and crawled closer to the light.

"Dammit!" he hissed and grabbed Hunter's arm. She got yanked and pulled back to face the monster.

"What do you want Erebus?" Hunter snapped. "Going to capture me again?"

Erebus sighed and let her go. "No, well, yes, but I just need you to watch him." He dropped the object which was actually a body.

Hunter looked confused. She knew it was one of the new bodies but why let her watch it?

"I'm not good or something stupid like that," Erebus said and waved his hands around. "I just have to do something with an old friend-"

"Your girlfriend?"

Erebus lit up, blushing and soon covering his face. "N-No!" He said under some giggles. "S-Someone else?"

"Vo-Looking?"

He just laughed and told her to make sure the body didn't go anywhere. He teleported away and left her in the dark.

Hunter looked back at the body and poked at it.

"So what's your entity-"

She scrambled away from it and started to breathe very fast. No, it couldn't. It wasn't Evan, it was his other self.

She sighed and pressed her palm on her face. "God Evan what did you do to yourself?" she asked her friend who wasn't with her anymore.

Brine paced back and forth in front of his army. He let them get away again, he should've just grabbed Feyd and killed him once and for all. He needed to stop him, but he couldn't use his powers on just him, no, he needed to wipe out this rebellion and this stupid Earth in one move. The army was big, huge in fact, but not big enough.

He ordered his generals to grab more monsters for the army. After that he rubbed his temples and yelled for Erebus.

No one came.

"EREBUS!" he yelled again; no one came.

Brine growled and shot around, finding Shaikulud behind him. He jumped and grumbled. "What do you want?"

"It's my sister and the others, I would expect that you want to see them." she said in a calming voice. She always seemed so calm, yet so emotionless at the same time. Brine wishes he could be like her, but there were too many things happening for him to be even close to calm.

She lead him to a close abandoned building. Once inside they took the stairs into deep underground. The only sources of light were Shaikulud's eyes and Brine's faint yellow glow.

"Why do you glow anyway?" the spider queen asked as they got deeper. Brine could tell that someone had asked her to say that, for she usually never questioned a thing about her master.

"It's my power," Brine half-lied. He didn't really know what it was but he guessed it was something to do with his powers. Maybe it was leaking out? He didn't know nor care unless it would cause any more trouble to the plan.

They continued going down, the stairs seeming to keep spiraling into the abyss. Brine was getting impatient and was getting concerned where they were keeping the prisoners.

I won't allow a torture room, he thought. Even though they probably deserve it, they need to be in perfect condition.

Finally, after what seemed like hours when it was really just a few minutes, the two reached their destination. The queen pushed open a door and lead Brine down a long corridor. And what was strange about the hallway was that it was lit by red stone torches.

Where did they get these? Brine thought but quickly shook off the thought. Right; a portal's here, close to us.

At the end of the corridor was a single door. Shaikulud opened is and took a step away. She motioned Brine to go through. He took a step in and she closed the door, just leaving Brine alone with the he prisoners.

He held his hand out and a white fire spawned in his palm. It swayed and flickered to the soft breeze that came from a slow moving fan in the corner of the room. Ignoring how much he wished the fan was on high blast, he walked forward and stretched out his arm. The six grew and the light from it pulled the veil of darkness away and revealed five cages. The prisoner in front of him stood up and sighed.

"Hey."

Brine had to wait a few seconds until he processed the the simple word. He shook his head and then tilted it.

"Hey?!" Brine repeated. "I imprisoned you and basically took your life away and all I get is a 'hey?!'"

The person shrugged. But by the person's dark as night skin and pitch black hair he knew eminently who he was talking to.

"You're r-really pushing my buttons here, Valak," he spat.

"You hesitated," she snapped.

Brine grabbed the bars and his eyes flashed white. He growled but the young queen didn't flinch, she only played with her nails.

"What the hell is-"

Suddenly someone popped behind Brine. He shot around and found Erebus, pulling his long cape away from his face with pride.

"Tell what the hell you want and wipe that ridiculous look off your face if you want to keep the stupid cape," the Maker snapped.

Erebus all of a sudden seemed offended and shot up. "I got him."

"Who?" someone asked from one of the cages.

Brine just laughed and turned back around. "Let's just try and keep his entity a secret, okay?"

Kahn dug his fingers into the ground and bit his lip. What was going on, he didn't know. What he did know was that he felt lost and alone. There was someone he needed with him, a friend, but he just didn't know who anymore. His memories from Minecraft kept fading every hour but he didn't say a thing about it. If he did forget everything, then hopefully he would quickly be kicked out of this madness.

"You okay?"

Kahn turned around and found Feyd sitting down next to him. The enderman king had taken his hoodie off and now wore it around his waist. Now he only wore a white tang top, exposing his skin. This made Kahn blush and quickly turn away.

"Yes? No? I really don't know," the demon admitted. "I just feel empty."

Feyd cast him a concerned look. He pulled his hair back to reveal his pitch black spots and his purple eye. "Don't we all?"

Kahn murmured something and stuffed his face into his arms. A hand went onto his shoulder but Kahn shrugged it off. He heard Feyd get up and leave. He sighed and bit his lip. He needed to be somewhere familiar.

So he stood up and flew into the air, his ever growing wings and tail trailing behind him.

Feyd watched him go up and smiled. The Oracle came up next to him and shook her head. "What are we going to do? I barley have powers, and you're great and all. But what about him?"

Feyd looked back up and saw that his friend disappeared into the clouds. He shook his head and sighed. "I don't really know."
