The rise of Erebus book 2

Watcher put on the sparkling and shining Eye of Searching and waited for an image of Planter to form. Finally, he saw her. She was tied to the tall Obsidian tower with some sort of purple crystal on top. Just then the woman came into view.

“What do you want?” said Planter.

“To tell you this,” said the woman “Unless your friends go into the Nether they will die”.

“What is the Nether?” said Planter

“It’s a a land covered in fires and lava” the women said, “and in the center is a tall Nether fortress filled with monsters you have never dreamed of.”

“That’s hard to believe” said Planter.

“It’s true,” said the woman. “There are Ghast’s, Wither skeletons, Blazes, Zombie pig men, and Magma cubes.”

“Yeah right,” said Planter. With a smile the women said,

“Fine. Then I will craft a portal to the Nether,” said the women. And she took out some obsidian and made a rectangle surrounding Planter’s body. Then she struck flint and steel on the obsidian and a purple light filled the rectangle. Then it grew brighter and brighter until it filled Watcher’s vison. Just then he heard a sound.

            “Help, help,.” Planter appeared on a one block red island in the middle of a gigantic orange lava lake “help, help,.” she yelled. A giant white block with a face and white wiggly sticks came into view.  It fired a fire ball at her, but it rebounded. Two more of them came along but not as big as the first, so he must be their leader. A giant yellow log with a head and six sticks all yellow floated overhead followed by two more of his kind. Then a giant black skeleton and a red and orange slime and some weird looking zombie who was half pink came into view. All three were followed by two more of their kind.

“Allow me to introduce us,” said Whitey. “I am Malacoda, king of the ghasts, and this is Charybdis, king of the blazes, and this is Arpo, king of the magma cubes, and this is Skelbrine, king of the whither skeletons, and this is Prine, king of the zombie pig men. We are your captors for your stay in the Nether. Come on,” and then Malacoda picked up Planter in his sticks.

“Get your sticks off me,” said Planter.

“At the fortress,” said Malacoda “and these are tentacles.”

A minute later Planter was in a high tower her hands and feet were tied together and she was struggling with all her might Watcher took the eye off and explained what had happened and said

“So, we must be near the portal to the dragon’s lair. “

“But if Planters in the Nether what are we going to do there?” said Blaster

“Get answers,” said Watcher.

An hour later they reached a shimmering portal. Watcher then stepped into the portal.

He materialized on the same plane he saw in the Eye of Searching. He looked around and saw a purple field of light in front of him. He then saw a little cottage with purple curtains and a red roof. Watcher looked around and saw half a dozen NPCs behind him.

“Alright “he said “let’s go

“Didn’t that Eye of yours tell you she’s in the nether?” said a voice. Watcher spun around, and he saw the women.

“Who are you?” he said

“I am Lady Char,” said the woman. “Well not exactly”

“What do you mean?” said Watcher.

“Oh,” said Lady Char.  “I possessed her, but it won’t last for long, so I can only give you a little clue.”

“Which is?” said Watcher.

“Erebus,” said Lady Char. Then she writhed in agony. “Go” she bellowed. “And destroy the portal.” She tossed a pickax at Watcher and screamed. Watcher ran toward the portal and leaped into the unknown.
