Chapter 38
Aphmau POV
"Okay everybody! Through the portal." I wave all of the wyverns through the portal. Yes. I got help from wyverns. I also got the dragons and they are going to the location of Sasha at this moment.
"I will take it from here. Can you get the box of wyvern armour from the back please? It would be good to bring spares." Raven asks me so I nod and go into the direction he told me to go into. As soon as I enter the room, all of the candles light themselves up. I look around the room at all of the boxes and go to the pile labelled armour. I summon my hand and lift two of the boxes, making something fall. I go and pick it up. A key? To what? As if to answer my question, I feel the key gently pulling me towards the wall. I gently place the boxes near the door before looking at the wall. Why would it pull me towards this wall? Unless...
"Bingo." I mumble to myself, fitting the key into the small hole. The wall suddenly starts to quietly lift, showing me an entrance, candles lighting it up. I climb down the stairs to what looks like a small grassy area. In the middle, a grave is laid out. Ungurth. I slowly walk over and kneel down onto the grave. "You wanted me to find this place, didn't you? You want to help Laurence. You aren't actually dead." I reach my hand out to the headstone and start to brush the dust off of the top of it.
"No... I did not. I am trapped in a dark abyss. I sense his desire to help but his desire to want help." A soft, deep voice speaks. I look around the room and see a beautiful green gem in the grave stone.
"Do you remember what happened?" I ask the air.
"No. The last thing I remember is saving Laurence from the nether. My body couldn't handle the darkness and I faded. All that was left was that emerald that is now in my tombstone. Take it with you on your journey." I touch the emerald before getting a grip and pulling it out of the stone.
"Let's go back to Laurence. I'm sure he would be glad to see you again." I smile and hug the emerald before pocketing it and walking back up the stairs. I quickly grab the boxes and take them to Raven who is waiting for me at the portal.
"We need to hurry if you wish to aid your friends in this fight." He tells me before lowering himself down so I can jump on him. He then flies through the portal and back to the raging war. Below us, I see shadow knights constantly fighting against my friends. I jump down from Raven and join the fight, jumping on the one about to attack Zane from behind. We both go back to back, attacking the shadow knights.
"Laurence is in danger." Ungurth exclaims. I look around and spot Laurence who is cornered by shadow knights. I look at Zane and he nods at me before helping clear a path towards him. I run up to them.
"Laurence! Catch!" I take the emerald and throw over the shadow knights and at him. He catches it, confused. Suddenly, it starts glowing, making all of the shadow knights scream out in pain, killing them. They all disappear, instead showing a wyvern.
"U-Ungrurth... you are here. How?" Laurence looks at his wyvern in shock. I walk up to him and smile.
"Your friend here found the emerald that I was trapped in. When you touched it, you freed me." He explains.
"Thank you Aph... no, Jess." He gets onto Ungurths back. "I don't know how to thank you."
"Thank me by helping me defeat the shadow lord." I wink at him before running off. I whistle to Scales who flies above me, making him fly down and land in front of me. I get on his back.
"Was that Ungurth I saw?" Scales asks.
"Yup! Revived from the dead to protect a human. What do you say about that?" I smirk at him even though he can't see it.
"Yeah, Yeah. Anyway, the shadow lord was spotted so I'm taking you to his location. Is there anywhere else you need to go?" He asks me.
"Nope! Go straight ahead! I'm ready to stop this war." I exclaim. He goes faster, leaving MyStreet and going to a mountain. There, I can see all of my six protectors surrounding the portal, waiting for me.
"About time you made it!" Red exclaims as Barney comes towards me, handing me a few budder apples. We all walk towards the portal, me standing in the exact middle.
"You aren't going to push me in again, are you?" I joke, making everybody else laugh lightly.
"Nope! We are going with you." Sky smirks at me.
"Anyway! Through this portal, there is a hallway that leads to a set of double doors. The robot I sent in did a heat signature and there is only one so I'm guessing that's the shadow lord. It matches him." Jin informs me. When did he make a netherbot? Oh well.
"Are we not going to make a plan?" Red asks, turning towards Sky. Living with them, I noticed that Sky seems like the leader of the small group. Weird. I expected Jin to be it.
"We can't. The Shadow Lord will be able to predict all of our moves before we do. The dark aura around him seems to be helping him read us like a book. All I know is that Jess needs to purify him before he can get us." Sky replies.
"Well what are we waiting for? Everybody is fighting for us right now, the least we could do is defeat the shadow lord once and for all." I take a step forward towards the portal so I'm stood in front of it. "You guys can wait here. I'm going in." I say before stepping through.
