Tobias of the Shadow Nation

Sometimes I wonder, why in the name of Notch did the End Nation get that ability and not all Nations? Or no Nation got the power? What would it be like if none of the nations found the power? What if a User or NPC found the Far Lands instead? What would our lives be like? Would the Fire Nation wage war on the End Nation? Would we still be trapped in these caves? I may never know.

Tobias put the quill down on his desk beside the book, He'd been writing in it since he'd learned to wright, it was super boring down in the caves the Shadow Nation had been hiding in since the war between the End Nation and the Fire Nation began. No other Shadow Nation knew about his book, not even Shadow Star, the leader of the nation. Tobias made this book to wright his questions, complaints and things he's upset about. suddenly there was a knock at the front of the cave. Tobias quickly opened his ender chest and dropped the book in.

"Who is it?!" Tobias shouted out the entrance.

"It's me, Silver." Silver said from outside. Tobias quickly for quickly got up and opened the piston door. Standing just outside was Silver, her silver hair shimmering in the torchlight.

"What in the name of Notch is going on with you recently? Are you not noticing that you've been locking yourself in your cave for the past few weeks?" Silver asked and Tobias shyly backed off.

"Sorry, I've just been really bothered recently." Tobias answered feeling his cheeks heat up and blush.

"What's been bothering you?" Silver asked.

"I don't think I can talk about it." Tobias answered. Silver pulled him over to a small dimly-lit corner of the cave and sat him down.

"Come on, Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone." Silver said holding her hand over her heart in oath. Tobias checked behind her back to make sure she wasn't crossing her fingers, and to his relief she wasn't.

"Fine..." Tobias said reluctantly and shuffled over to his Ender Chest and pulled out his book and quill slowly and put it in Silver's hands.

"Every question you need answers to is in there." Tobias answered and Silver gently flipped through the pages.

"Wow... Tobias, I had no idea." Silver said gently closing the book and placing it on the ground.

"Yeah, I've been writing in there since I learned how to.

"Tobias, we need to show this to Shadow Star! He might be able to bring the Nation out of hiding! At the very least he'll send out scouts to see what's going on outside the caves." Silver suggested.

"No! Silver, please, don't tell him... I'm afraid I'll get exiled for having such thoughts, that's why I've kept this book a secret for years now." Tobias pleaded.

"But Tobias, we really have no idea what's going on up their, heck, for all we know the clans might have sorted it out and are waiting for us to come out of hiding!" Silver replied. She made plenty of good points, Tobias sighed.

"You've always been too good at arguing and proving your point." Tobias replied.

"So? Can we bring it to Shadow Star or what?" Silver asked and after a long few seconds Tobias nodded.

Expect Chapter 5 tomorrow.
