Will, Lisa and Simon all walked to the elder. He was a very old and wise Enderman. Everyone respects him greatly. They walked up to the elder who was conversing with local parrots. Lisa and Simon stopped. Lisa bowed. "Are we there yet?" Will asked, not being able to see.

"Yes." Lisa whispered. Will bowed. "Oh, great and wise elder. We seek your help."

"It's ok, Lisa. You don't need to treat me like some sort of god." The kind Enderman smiled.

"Oh, right." They stood up.

The old Enderman chuckled. "Now, what do you need?"

"We need to find the Jungle Temple." Lisa answered.

"Really? Why?"

"Those punks stole my torch." Will answered crossly.

"Oh dear, Will. Well, it's ok. Because I know where the Jungle Temple is."

"Really! Where?"

The wise Enderman turned around and spoke in a dramatic voice. "The temple lies in the heart of the jungle. To get there you will need to be quick, willing and fearless. For when the sun sets tomorrow, if you are not back in time, you will be left behind. At the temple you will face challenges and puzzles that only happen in one's nightmares."

It's always cool when the elder talks dramatically like that. "Ok. But how do we get there?" Lisa asked.

"Oh right. It's south-west. Here." He gave them a compass. "Traded with a villager a while back and got this. You're going to need it. And I also got this for you, Will." He gave Will a night vision potion. "Drink it tomorrow night when you're coming back. Oh and I've even got something for Simon." He held out a piece of wheat. Simon ate it. They laughed. "There you go. You're all set. Good luck, you three. And hurry back."

"We will. Thank you, oh great one." Lisa bowed.

"Lisa..." She looked up. The elder smiled.

"Right." She stood up. "Ahem. Good bye, sir." She looked at the compass and started heading south-west. "Come on, you stumbling monkey." She teased.

"Hey!" Lisa laughed.
