Minecraft- the Legacy of the Caster's Gauntlet [Book 3]

Chapter Five- The Gem of Calmness

 They read The Gem of Calmness instructions. "I think these words are hidden in a riddle," exclaimed Alex as she read the words over and over again in her head. "To find Calm, one must not count each grain of sand of the desert, but see through the pain. Or else the hourglass will run out of sand for you to decide your plan. Remember, always look forward and trust the light, or else you must fail, and lose your delight. This is where your journey will begin," Alex read out loud. "Wait, do we have to go to the desert?" asked Oxin. "No, that's what they want you to think. How can you see through sand? There is going to be no light. They only way to see through sand is to smelt sand into glass. That's why it said look through the pain. I think we need a glass pane," replied Hazel. Steve spotted sand next to an ocean and began to smelt some of it. He made the glass pane and crafted it into a looking glass. "I see light! It is pointing at the ocean! That makes sense. The ocean is calm, the desert is hot and deadly! Not calm!" explained Steve. They made boats and sailed into the ocean to follow the light. They traveled far from the land until they saw nothing but miles and miles of water in all directions. "When is the light going to stop?" asked Alex. "I think we are here. It stops at an Ocean Monument! But last time when me and Alex been to one, it wasn't pleasant nor calming," replied Steve. 

 "But has to be in there. We need to get The Gem. Hopefully, this armor can help us breathe. It does have the proper enchantments for the ocean after all," replied Oxin. They dived into the ocean, but the ocean monument looked strangely familiar. "This is the same ocean monument that we explored to get a part of my gauntlet. That means the Elder guardian is still inside because we didn't kill all three," replied Steve. "I'm going. The gauntlets will slightly help us," replied Oxin. "Let's go!" shouted Steve. They dived into the ocean, but they noticed guardians swarming the entrance. "We can't let them see us," exclaimed Alex. They swam behind a field of seagrass. "Alright. We seem to be okay," replied Oxin. They swam past the guardians, but until they swam towards the entrance, one of the guardians noticed them. "Guys! Watch out! We seem to be under attack!" shouted Steve. All there lasers pointed at Steve, recognizing him through their big eyes. They remembered that he took a piece of the gauntlet from there temple, and then, their thorns spiked up, then they turned away. "Um, why did they not attack us?" asked Alex. "Because they see we have a prophecy to fulfill. They let us get the Gem of Calmness easily," replied Hazel. They swam into the monument.  

 Once they got in, they saw black smoke in the water. "Oh no! Goliath has been here!" shouted Alex. Suddenly, an Elder Guardian appeared from behind them with red-eye, and blackthorns. "Oh... my... goodness," Steve said Calmingly. Suddenly, the Evil Elder Guardian zapped its laser beams at them, tossing them into the water. "Goliath must have been here, and hypnotized the Elders!" shouted Oxin. "We got to kill them even though they are nice. They will kill us!" shouted Steve. Steve charged at the guardian, stabbing is a big eye. Suddenly, it screeched in horror and swiped its tail at Steve. Alex grabbed onto its tail, and Hazel swam to the sponge room, getting rid of the water that the Elder breathes in. "Ok, we need to get the Gem now. Where do we even begin?" asked Steve. "I don't know. I feel like if we are gonna have to do a proper search, we're going to need to get rid of this mining fatigue which means we're going to need to take out the Corrupted Elder Guardians," replied Hazel. They swam deep into the maze of the monument and stopped in a big room. "I feel like one is in here," exclaimed Alex as she heard swishing sounds. Suddenly, the Elder popped out of the shadows, slamming Oxin into the Prismarine walls.

 Stev was caught into its laser, and the Elder moved him into a room full with more minion guardians. Steve scared every one of them, but the Elder remained. Hazel took out the guardian with her enchanted diamond blade. "Ok. One to go," exclaimed Oxin. "I think it should be on the right side of the monument. So we are going to have to go through a bunch of mazes," replied Alex. They swam through the monument countlessly seeing the same Prismarine bricks. Suddenly, they came across bedrock in an ocean monument! "Bedrock isn't supposed to be inside underwater temples. Maybe the Gem is behind it!" exclaimed Steve. They kept swimming, then suddenly, they saw the guardian's eyes shining through the water from afar. Oxin shot an arrow at the Elder nearly hitting it in the eye. It shot a laser at them, knocking them back 10 blocks further, and then, the guardian called its other fish friends. Steve swam through the mob of guardians, plunging his sword right into the Elder. It squealed with rage, and then, in minutes the whole room was filled with guardians. "What do we do? There is too much of them!" asked Alex. "We need sponges. We can dry out the water, and that will stop the guardians from breathing!" exclaimed Oxin.

 They found some sponges near them, and they rushed back to the guardians, placing tons of sponges everywhere, and the water that used to be around them disappeared. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. "What was that?" asked Hazel. "I don't know... but it is very fishy," replied Steve. " Maybe the bedrock is gone! Because bedrock doesn't spawn naturally in monuments. Bedrock is only at the bottom of the World," exclaimed Oxin. They ran back to the spot where the bedrock was, but the bedrock wasn't there anymore. There was a big empty room with a cube in the middle. "This looks like the treasure cubes with gold in every monument!" exclaimed Alex. Steve looked around more, and he found ancient runes on the wall. It said Look for yellow, my hope-to be a kind fellow. "These runes say look for yellow.. but the only yellow things in monuments are sponges or gold. We already mined all the sponge to clear the guardians, so I don't think it is a sponge. It is gold, so we got to mine this cube," explained Steve. They began chopping down the dark Prismarine cube, and instead of gold, they found a strange blue gem that was faintly humming. "This has to be the Gem of Calmness. It is humming calm noises, and it looks blue like the ocean! I think we found it!" replied Hazel. She reached for the Gem, but suddenly, the room where the Gem was in started flooding! 

 "Grab the Gem! shouted Alex as she tried to keep calm when the room was flooding. "Fine a way out! I got the Gem!" exclaimed Hazel. Oxin found a book next to the cube, and he grabbed it just in case. They found a hole in the temple that caused the room to flood, and they swam out before they drowned because their enchantments wore off. "Phew! I'm so glad we made it out alive," exclaimed Alex. They hopped back on their boats, and Oxin began to read the book that he found. 

  To find Fury, one must go to a great red tree of rage and worry, but it will not be scary if you're worthy. Inter a rift that should be sealed, beware of the dangers they might kill you, they will. Find a castle of fame but it might lead to shame, but there's a chance you will, claim the next Fury Gem, or else you might be engulfed with flames.
