Eyyyy, I wrote something...

It feels a little clunky but it's something.

Enjoy.

Ty's POV

Several days had past in my time in the end, frankly I'd been starting to lose count. That worried me a lot. For all I knew a week could have past and I didn't even know. I couldn't tell whether or not it was night or day so I'd resorted to just leaving a scratch mark on the side of one of the smaller obsidian pillars when I woke up after sleeping, not that the pillar was much smaller than a regular one, these pillars were giant! Right now I had six scratch marks on it.

When the dragon had left me, I'd tried to go about this as best as I could and treat it as a survival situation. Which wasn't easy considering I had pretty much nothing on me. I'd just tried to make a small area behind a pillar at the edge of the end plain my home, the sand made it slightly sink back against the pillar so I wasn't in any danger of falling off the edge.

I didn't really seem to be in any physical danger here either, other than from the wounds I'd received from the previous battle. The enderman would often just look at me before continuing their business and the Ender Dragon stayed high to the tops of the pillars, particularly near the large crystal at the top of the highest tower. Needless to say I didn't do any flying.

The biggest problem at this point was food and water. It felt like my body was eating itself from the inside. I tried to ignore it as best as I could but jeez, I needed food and soon.

Water wasn't much better. While as an Ender dragon hybrid I noticed I never really needed to drink often, probably since water burns me but at least it didn't when I drank it, Seto often had to make a potion for just so I could even bathe! But I'm still human too and humans need water.

I still had faith that the others would find me. I know my friends and they don't give up without a fight. They'll find me and then we can finish the dragon once and for all.

"You are weak." Ignis's voice suddenly spoke in my mind, startling me out of my thoughts. I looked around to see where Ignis was and was surprised to see him standing on top of the pillar in had hidden under. Did I really not hear him land?

"I'm fine." I growled back, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing I'm so vulnerable.

"Don't try to lie, I can see clearly you are deteriorating."

"I said I'm fine! I don't need or want help!" I yelled at him despite my dry throat making my voice hoarse.

The dragon didn't reply to that remained silent, before he spread his wings and flew up. I thought that was the end of it, until I saw the dragon come back around, claws out.

My eyes widened and I tried to scramble away from the dragon as it flew over me and grabbed my shoulders in one of its claws and flew up.

"Hey! Let go of me!" I shouted with a snarl as I tried to squirm free of Ignis' grip and raked my claws into his paw.

Ignis huffed at that and once he'd reached the top of a pillar dropped me next to the crystal on top.

I tasted the obsidian with a wince as I sat up and spat the black particles out of mouth "Eugh! What the hell was that for?!" I yelled

Ignis snorted "To keep you from rotting down there. Touch the crystal."

"Why the hell should I listen to you?"

"Because despite what you may think, I actually have use for a hybrid of me, not for a rotting corpse of a hybrid. Now touch the crystal."

I glared at Ignis at that but reluctant obliged, frankly I didn't have anything else to lose. Well, I guess my humanity could be something but I'd rather not think about that. The crystal was oddly warm to the touch against the cold air of the End. It felt smooth and sturdy, but delicate at the same time, like glass.

But the most important aspect was what what it did. It felt like sparks had exploded in my hand and sent this feeling of warmth throughout my entire body. My throat didn't feel dry or thirsty anymore, my stomach didn't hurt anymore, the hunger that clawed at if fading.

I wasn't full or anything. I just didn't feel the pain from the lack of food or water, I was just... Satisfied.

"Better?" Ignis demanded.

I nodded slowly "How did that happen?"

"The crystals heal an ender's wounds and saints their needs. You won't require food or drink while here with the crystals to sustain you."

I looked at Ignis for a moment before looking back at the crystal. I guess this was how he could stand living here without food. To be honest, I kinda just figured he ate the endermen or something when he got hungry.

"You can see now, the Overworld will not be required for you to live here."

I glared at him "If that's you're way of saying I can give up and stay here forever then leave me alone." I growled.

"You cannot leave Enderlox. I've already made that clear. Why do you still believe you will?" Ignis demanded.

I huffed "My friends don't just give up. We didn't give up on Adam and they certainly won't give up on me. They'll find this place and we will destroy you once and for all. Then we'll leave and this will all stop once and for all...."

I expected Ignis to get mad at that, threaten me or something, but he didn't, he just made a growling sound that sounded like a laugh "Boy, you really don't understand at all. Your friends will only seal your fate."

I frowned at him "What are you talking about?" I demanded, keeping a hand on the crystal to keep gaining strength.

"As I told you before Enderlox, your soul is tied to the end now. You cannot be rescued."

"What makes you say that?"

"When you enter the End on any level, what is the only way to leave?"

I was silent, where was he going with this?

"To kill you..."

Ignis scoffed "That is one way of saying it. The proper way however is that only when the crystals and those who are tied to them are destroyed may the portal open."

Your soul is tired to the End now.

No...

I felt like the obsidian under me was crumbling away. I probably would've collapsed if I wasn't already sitting, either way I gripped the crystal to keep me supported.

"You're lying..." I murmured, my voice growing louder "That can't be true! You have to be lying!"

"And what motivation would I have in telling you this? Whether your friends come for you or not won't change what I say." Ignis snorted, eyes narrowed at me coldly.

I shuddered "This has to be some sort of sick joke..." I whimpered, I hated looking weak to Ignis, but I couldn't help it. This was just so messed up. Was this really all I had left? Was I seriously just stuck here to either give into this place or get killed off by my friends?

"... You're wrong..." I mumbled softly "My friends are smart. They'll... They'll find a way."

Ignis let out a large puff of breath as if he was sighing "Your mind is strong Enderlox. But you know in your heart what the final outcome will be."

After speaking, the dragon spread his wings and took off without another word back up to the larger crystal on top. Once I was sure the other couldn't see me, I close my eyes and leaned on the crystal, soaking in its warmth.

This was such a mess of a situation. But they had to be coming for me. We'd figure something out when they did.

We had to...

Let me get this straight to you all right now...

Yes, I am fully aware of the situation regarding Sky quitting.

I am ok with it. As long as he is doing what he wants, then that is all I care about. I'm a strong believer in doing what you love and if you have lost all passion for something, then it isn't worth wasting your time on.

I will continue to write my stories (Though I'm probs gonna discontinue System failure cause I literally haven't touched that book in 3 years, sorry :( ).

That hasn't changed, heck I already have a few others planned out for the future if when I finish theses stories eventually. Whenever that is I have no idea XD.

And let's face it. I love this fandom but I hardly watch any MCYT videos anymore, it was mostly just Sky. Doesn't mean I don't love the other youtubers.

I think many of my fellow MCYT writers can agree that while a lot of us do love these Youtubers, we're writing our own interpretations of them with their own back stories and similar character traits. We love the concepts create behind them and the world that has been built around them.

Because seriously, in any other setting, when would a sorcerer, chewbacca, spaceman and mudkip help a general defeat an army of squids? XD

Look, my point is that I won't be stopping these books and I WILL finish it. I may asked a while to write but I love these books and their plots and characters too much to stop now.

I am a sky army recruit and always will be long after the leader leaves.

People like us keep our fandom alive with the memories made and the laughs shared.

And I don't say it enough. But to everyone that has stuck with me and supported me in writing these books.

Thank you, you guys really don't know how much it means to me. You are what give me so much joy in writing.

I'll see you guys next time.
