"Petra..." jesse gasped as I tried to shake him when I noticed it was starting to feel rather warm. at first, I didn't know what was going on until I realized the heat was coming from jesse.

I didn't know what to say at that point.

Jesse then looked at me... his expression blank...

Vacant if any emotions...

He stood up and lightly pushed me aside, walking down the stairs.

I followed shortly after, curious about what was happening to jesse.

we then made it into a rather large room, relics set on top of stands... it didn't take me very long to realize that ivor had gathered what he took from us years ago.

"Incredible" I spoke, but jesse didn't reply... he just stayed quiet...

"He's gathered them all in one place"

Jesse looked at me... his dull green eyes still lacking any emotion... I figured he was confused despite his trans like state...

"They're the treasures of the order of the stone!" I began to explain and Jesse nodded

"the stories I could tell about these dusty old things" a nostalgic smile spread on my face but it disappeared once my eyes layed on the dragon egg.

Jesse nodded and pointed to a set of iron doors. I tried opening them.

"Locked, of course"

Jesse looked at the relics and then me... when I noticed his eyes were a noticeably darker shade.

"Do you think you can break the doors down?" I asked. Jesse shook his head. "Unless you want to die..." he spoke... Chills ran down my spine at his sentence. This was the first time he spoke when he was like this...

He turned around and walked towards one of the relics, the ghast tear... our very first treasure.

I began to explain the stories of each treasure as he slowly grabbed them, careful not to drop or break any of them.

When he finally got to the dragon egg however... he seemed... almost mad... he made a fist and just stared at me with a serious look... the first emotion he showed since we got here...

"Alas... the ender dragon egg... the only thing that remains... of our final adventure together."

Jesse shook his head as he took the dragon egg from its stand.

This time, a secret door opened, revealing a line of hoppers.

"Why is ivor hiding a hopper in his basement?" I asked. Jesse walked forward and placed a few of the relics in the hoppers in a very specific order.

But unfortunately the door didn't open and he was given back the treasures. He did another order and this time the doors did open.

"You've solved it... but how in the world did you know what order to put them, there are one hundred and twenty possible combinations." I exclaimed.

"The answer was already in front of me..." he spoke again, still wearing that slight glare from before.

I sighed. "You know, I often give ivor a hard time... but for all of his complaining, his time in the order clearly meant a great deal to him"

Jesse placed his hand on my shoulder. "Yeah... clearly... let's go get that enchanting book..." jesse said coldly. I nodded on response.

And with that, we were off into the other room, where in obsidian surprise greeted us...

I am so sorry for not updating this book in a while, I kinda had a hiatus with it... SoaringTDM78, I'm sorry for not telling you about that hiatus.
