Nether Battle

Enisia followed Epis to a nether portal. He claimed he'd found it on the way. When they reached it she stopped for a moment, and addressed the hunters.

She told them there mission was dangerous, and if any wished to stay behind they may. She did not expect them to have to be endangered trying to save her family. Naturally they all agreed to come. Azura told her, they went where she went. If she was heading to the nether to fight, then they would follow her. Besides no one wanted to miss out on the fun.

Epis still looked slightly surprised by the following his sister had, but did not say this. Inside he took them through the portal.

On the other side it was much warmer, almost too warm for anyone's real comfort. Many of the girls looked astonished. They had never known such a place existed. Before them loomed the huge castle of Craftus. Enisia gripped her bow more tightly as she approached it. No one was quite sure what they would find inside. Epis told them it would either be the girl who was made of lava, or the boy who was a wither. 

It was quieter then they expected, as they approached the entrance they had to dispatch several monsters, but there weren't as many as they had feared. 

Enisia walked boldly through the entrance, prepared to face whatever they found inside. The hall lead to a huge room where the thrones were.

"Prepare yourselves." Enisia commanded to her hunters.

They spread out slightly, bows drawn.

"Pesky goddess." A voice rang out, "I thought you might come."

Enisia walked through the doors. On one of the thrones sat a dark grey boy, beside him was Enisia and Epis's mother. Airabella struggled against her bonds upon seeing them.

Xeo reached across and put a hand on her. "It will be a pleasure to destroy my daughter and my son."

"Release her!" Enisia commanded him. She sweep her eyes across the room and saw her other family also imprisoned.

"Enisia, Epis." 

The cries of there names echoed in the room. 

"SILENCE." Roared Xeo, "if you want them you will have to fight."

"Then fight I will," Enisia said quietly. She nodded at Epis who gave a nod back.

They both shot at Xeo, he smiled and began to transform into his wither form. The arrow seemed to disintegrate in the haze surrounding him. When the smoke cleared a terrible creature stood before them. He let out a raspy laugh.

"Surrender," Xeo roared.

"Never!" Cried the hunters.

They all launched their arrows at him. He laughed and rose into the air, shooting off tiny skulls that exploded when they contacted a surface. 

"Dodge them, don't let them hit you." Enisia yelled out.

Hunters dove out of the way. Epis and Enisia drew back their own bows and fired. They were much more powerful, and when Enisia's arrow hit it sunk into the withers body. He gave off a yell and launched another skull which Enisia had to jump to avoid. Epis fired again but Xeo was quicker and was out of the way in a moment.

Enisia fired another volley at him, a couple hit but the damage was minimal. When Xeo fired another set of skulls at least one hit a hunter. She screamed and fell to the ground. Immediately  Epis was at her side with his healing powers. But this was an easy target for Xeo, he laughed as he prepared to fire again. 

"Stop," a voice rang out.

Xeo and Epis both stopped, the hunter was crying out, but Epis payed her no mind as he froze.

"Epis continue," the voice corrected, Epis seemed to come to his sense's looking horrified.

Ilo came out of the shadows and she was glaring at Xeo. Then she glanced at Enisia, "I can't hold him for long, fire!"

Enisia sent another volley into his body. Xeo seemed on the edge of being able to disobey.

"Scum!" he cried at Ilodeena, "I told father.... that you were."

"You will not move."

Enisia fire more arrows.

That was when Xeo broke through the hold. But he had no time to dodge the last of Enisia's shots. They hit him and he sunk to the floor. Ilodeena rushed forward and pulled off one of his three heads. She tossed it to one of the hunters.

"Throw it over the side," she instructed. The girl ran of with it. Ilo passed the next head to Enisia who launched it as far as she could off into the distant nether scape. Finally Ilo took the last one and stuffed it into her inventory.

The rest of Xeo crumbled to dust.

Enisia wanted to say something to Ilodeena, but she spoke first, "there's no time, they are attacking the village where my son is!"

Enisia nodded, slightly shaken by the events that had just unfolded. She walked over to her mother and untied her easily. Airabella began to cry.

One by one they released all of the prisoners and headed for the overworld.
