The Legend of Lemur (Book 2) - Herobrine UNLEASHED

Chapter 11: Onward

The group had gathered their makeshift, temporary living supplies and took apart the campsite. Lemur had luckily awoken the next morning, and ready to continue the journey to Hope Diamond, and was delighted when he learned Thorn was coming with them to the destination, just like the olden days.

"Thorn!" Lemur exclaimed, "It feels like forever since we seen each other!"

"It definitely does," Thorn replied, "Congratulations on the marriage!"

"Thanks," Lemur said.

"And Lemur," Thorn started, "Please don't push yourself so hard this time. If you are feeling tired, or woozy, just let us know before you crash like you did last night. We can set up camp then, or I could try to use my new Ender magic and take over."

Thorn opened and closed his fist and continued, "This new magic takes some getting used to, and to be quite frank, I don't know if I can teleport us all at once. Direct contact is needed to transport more than just the user."

"Alright Thorn," Lemur replied, "I will be more weary of my limits."

"Also, I think you own your father and wife an apology for last night as well," Thorn explained formally, "They were somewhat worried over how far you went to make the journey quicker."

Lemur rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Damn, I didn't know... or realize."

Lemur then apologized to Brine, Galaxy and Thorn, for the events that played out the day before, and they continued onwards, to the destination. After roughly seven hours of portal opening and closing, Lemur had once again knelt on the ground again, catching his breath.

"Lemur!" Thorn exclaimed, "What did I say!?"

"It's alright," Lemur said between gasps, "I'm fine... I'm just now getting... tired. Will you please... take over?"

Thorn sighed and placed a finger on his temple pensively and said, "You know, you could've said for me to take over earlier, before you got tired... But I am glad you chose to stop rather than crash... Alright."

Thorn cracked his fingers and said sternly, "Alright, I will be taking over the distance trimming! Everyone, grab ahold of my arm or something, so you will be teleported!"

Thus, Lemur, Galaxy and Brine all grabbed onto Thorn's arms and Thorn continued confidently, "Alright, here we go!"

Then just like that, they all teleported, but the sight they saw on the other side, once teleported, was not promising.

"Are you serious!" Thorn exclaimed, then he facepalmed.

"It appears we're back where we started," Brine said affirmatively.

"Don't worry, I got this," Thorn said reassuringly.

Thorn teleported them once more, and they ended up back where Lemur had told Thorn to take over, and Thorn let out a relieved sigh.

"Alright, we're back at our original place," Thorn said, then looked dismayed, "Sorry guys, but I think it's too risky for me to use my teleportation to advance further. I might get us teleported in the wrong direction and make the journey unnecessarily longer."

"It's fine Thorn," Lemur said calmly, "You were willing to help us, and you tried your best. That's what counts right now."

"So then, shall we set up camp here?" Galaxy pondered.

Lemur agreed and thus, camp had been set up, and much quicker than before, since they already had the supplies and the number of hands able to help had doubled. It wasn't before long, that they had a bright, hot fire going and cooking freshly caught fish and rabbit above it, and even set up defenses around the perimeter. Later that evening, they ate, laughed and told stories around the fire. After storytelling, the sounds died down and Brine looked up at the stars, and began to sing.
