"We've lost! It's over!"

"We can't let Minecraftia fall to the squids! We can't!"

"What can we do?!"

"IF I MUST BE PUT IN AN ETERNAL SLEEP TO PROTECT MINECRAFTIA, THEN SO BE IT!"

Tyler Deadlox raced through the forest, cursing colorfully underneath his breath as he leaped over a log. He looked behind him to see the squids still chasing him, making him growl in frustration. He took a sharp left, and he blinked in surprise. A stone wall with an old looking wooden door stood there, a faded symbol on the front. He looked back where he had come, furrowing his eyebrows. He ran to the door and pulled it open, closing it behind him as he ran in. There was no light as he closed the door, causing darkness to fall over him. Ty shuddered, wrapping his black cloak around him tightly as he looked around. He felt along the wall, and he felt his hand bump against something. He furrowed his eyebrows and his hand wrapped around it, and he blinked. What was...? He pulled on it, and there was a click before light suddenly flooded through the cave. He covered his eyes in shock, blinking rapidly.

Lit torches lined the long hallway he found himself standing in, making him blink before he looked at what he had pulled on. It was a torch, unlit and pulled down like a lever. He shrugged. He wasn't about to complain. He looked back at where he had come from, and then froze. The door was gone! What the Nether?! Ty cursed and stomped his foot.

"Wonderful!" He said to himself sarcastically. "Dandy! You were running from those stupid squids because you just hadddd to step out of the territory, and now you're trapped in this weird-ass cave with no food or water! Your mentor would be very proud!" Ty said, then stopped as he realized what he said. Mentor... He sighed and bowed his head, before he slowly walked down the hallway. The fire in the torches flickered and danced, but Ty barely paid attention to them. He walked for what felt like forever before he finally came to two large oak doors. He hesitated, furrowing his eyebrows. He had a feeling he wasn't in some cave... He pushed the oak doors open, grunting as he did. They were heavy, and he could tell they hadn't been opened in a long time. He looked around as he stepped into a large room, and his eyes widened.

It was a huge room that was shaped in a full circle, torches lining the walls. Weird pictures and runes were also scattered on the concrete walls, and Ty slowly walked toward one of them. It was a picture of what seemed like a battlefield. Squids and humans battled against each other, black and red blood mixed on the ground with lifeless bodies scattered everywhere. What was this...?! He stepped back, before he turned to a different one. These were runes, but after a few moments of staring the strange symbols suddenly morphed into words, making Ty gasp in surprise. How in the world?! What was this place?!

The Squids won, and a sacrificed had to be made. To protect Minecraftia he fell into a coma, and a force field was made that fed off his energy, keeping the squids out and the humans protected.

Ty blinked, and turned to another wall. He blinked again.

A man with his eyes hidden by his bangs was painted onto the wall. He had a dark blue cloak and wore a gray and black military style outfit with red shoes, a glittering golden sword in his hand. His had brown hair that was slightly curly, and an amulet that was a golden circle and a purple capital S hung around his neck. He was tall and muscular, obviously an army man. Ty tilted his head. But who was he? The runes next to the man formed into words, causing Ty to jump and curse shakily before he read them.

Sky Does Minecraft

Why did that name seem so familiar? Ty backed away a few feet before he bumped into something, making him gasp and whirl around. He covered his mouth, stepping back as his eyes widened in horror. A golden coffin stood there, shining in the torchlight. The lid was closed, but had shifted slightly to the side from when he had bumped into it. Ty backed away with horror. Was he in some tomb?! Oh god, he had to get out of here!

"He has to be in here."
"I don't like this Alex..."
"Suck it up! The King will kill us if we don't kill that brat!"

Ty's eyes widened in horror as his heart skipped a beat. It was the squids! What was he going to do?! He looked around quickly, before his eyes landed on the coffin again. His face paled as a thought came to his mind. No... No, he couldn't... It was disrespectful and not to mention gross and creepy!

It's bound to be a skeleton, look around! This cave is thousands of years old!
But, it's disrespectful!

Let's see, be disrespectful or live?!

Well, I want to live, but-!

Get in.

Ty froze at the foreign voice that rang through his head.

Come child, you are a descendant. He will not harm you.

Ty hugged himself tightly, and then heard the voices come closer. He took a deep breath before he ran to coffin. Oh god, was he really doing this...?! He pushed the lid open, closing his eyes tightly as he got in and pulled the lid back down. He opened his eyes slowly after a few moments, met by complete darkness and stale air that made him hold back a gag. Funny... It didn't reek of death... He could feel something warm underneath him, and he shuddered. Don't look... Don't look...

He looked down and cringed.

You fucking looked, you fucking looked!

Then he stopped.

Instead of a skeleton, the thing below him was a complete person, an undecayed body. The amulet around their neck was glowing softly, giving Ty just enough light to see. The cushion underneath them was yellow and very soft, but firm enough so that it didn't sink down with the weight of Ty or the body. He studied the body, and with horror realized it looked like the man he had seen painted on the wall. Sky Does Minecraft...? But how was his body so preserved?! It wasn't cold in the coffin, and this tomb had been hundreds of years old!

Your questions will be answered... But only if you touch the amulet...

Ty hesitated. Should he listen to this mysterious voice? Who all listens to a mysterious voice anyway?! Those who end up dead, that's who!

Trust me... Touch the amulet...

Ty felt like he should know this voice, but he didn't... It was familiar but it wasn't at the same time... He was so confused, and tired, and hungry...!

I understand, child. I know you are scared and confused, but you must trust me. The squids will open that tomb and kill both of you. You must touch the amulet...

Ty gulped, and he shakily reached out. The amulet glowed brighter and brighter as his hand grew nearer and nearer, and Ty could barely hear the voice that was encouraging him, telling him everything would be okay if he just... touched... the amulet...

His fingers touched the purple S, and the amulet flashed brightly as his eyes widened. Golden and purple wisps flew from the S, wrapping around Ty briefly before they rushed down to the motionlessly body he was practically laying on. His eyes widened as the wisps slipped through his closed lips, a few flying around his head, creating a halo like shape.

Then their eyes flew open.
