Seto's pov

"No, not him...not now." I managed to say. Sky was pacing back and forth. Once in a while, he would mutter something to himself. He can't come back, Notch banished him fro-, oh Notch no! He banished him from the over world. He can still cause pain from the nether, he has before.

"Seto, are you even listening to me?" Sky growled.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Wh-what?"

"I said that we need more guards at the gates. We need to have more patrols and we need to work on the recrutes training. He could strike at any moment and we need to be prepared." Sky half muttered half ordered. His eyes suddenly blazing with an angry fire.

"Yes sir, I'll get right on it." I said bowing before walking out the door. I went to the library and looked for a book. "Where the Nether did I put it?" After searching the library for about ten minutes, I finally found what I was looking for. It was an old book the title had worn off over time, but I still knew what book it was. I could feel the dark magic coming off of it. Dear Notch, how much dark magic was used to lock this thing? I grabbed the book and brought it to my room. Placing it on the table beside my bed, I used some light magic and managed to get it unlocked. Flipping through the pages something cought my eye, but I knew that I had to do as Sky had ordered first. I hid the book under something on my desk, and I ran out to inform the other generals about Sky's plans.

"Hey Seto, where sre you going?" Mitch asked. I stopped running and explained what was going on.

"Don't tell the recrutes. We don't want to panic them." I finished.

Mitch nodded. "What about the other generals?"

"You can inform them, just make sure they don't slip." I said running off to find the others. Mitch was right behind me. "I'll go find Jason, Quintion, and Ian, you go find Ty, Jerome, and Tyler." I panted, Mitch nodded and we split up.

After I found everyone I could, I went back to my room. Opening the door, I expected to feel a wave of powerful dark magic wash over me, but it never came. I walked over to the table where the book was and found a note in its place:

I stared in shock at the letter on my desk. He had gotten it, but how? Now how will I save them? How can we fight him now? Notch and entrusted me with this book, he said it held the key to stopping Herobrine when he returned, but with the book gone, how can we stop him? I had managed to skim some of the pages, but none of it helped if I didn't know his plans. Or did I? He had said 'I'm sure you know exactly how I'm gonna do it,' so do I know his plans? I thought for a while and came up with nothing, slamming my fist on my table, I growled in frustration. I hid the note under my papers so no one could find it and read it. I'll take that to Sky later.

I wouldn't count on that...

"Who in the Nether said that?" I asked turning around to find no one there. Confused I walked to my bed and layed down. It had grown dark out side and the guards had switched for the night.

I started to doze off as I heard the voice again. Don't worry Seto, I won't hurt him...

Who? What the Nether is going on!

The voice started to laugh, let's see if you can guess...

I thought for a moment, until my thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of screaming coming from across the hall. SKY! I ran to Sky's room to see a girl standing before the unconscious king, blood dripping from a cut on his head, the girl stared at me with icy blue eyes, her eyes were completely blue. I stepped back in surprise. She had short black hair, she wore a black cloak, with a black shirt and black pants. Her hands glew with a soft green glow. As she raised her hand it glew brighter. "Step away from him." I said, my own hands starting to glow purple.

"Or what?" She asked.

I raised my hands and shouted. "pulso retro!" (Latin translation: knock back)

She easily blocked my attack. "Is that the best you can do? Really, now that's just sad. somnum! (Latin translation: sleep. I'm getting this off goggle translate so sorry if it's not correct)" Her attack hit me and I felt my eyelids start to droop, the room around me fading, I herd the girl come over to me as I fell to my knees, trying to stay awake. "Don't worry, I won't hurt your king too badly." She chuckled and waked over to Sky, who was still unconscious. Falling onto my hands, I looked at her as she teleported to Notch knows where. My arms gave out from under me and everything around my went black.

Now, can you guess?

Jerome's pov

I was walking down the halls with Mitch and Ty when we heard the scream. "Hey, that sounds like it's coming from Sky's room." Mitch said.

"Your right it does, let's go check it out." Ty said, he silently ran through the maze of halls until we reached the third door before Sky's room. I noticed that the door was open, I looked at Ty who was still catching his breath from the run. "Shh, we don't know who's in there or what happened," he pulled out his iron sword. "So, let's go investigate." Mitch and I nodded as we pulled out our weapons. Slowly, we crept to Sky's door.

I heard someone, a girl maybe, say "Don't worry, I won't hurt your king too badly." Ty growled and ran into the room.

Mitch and I were right behind him and what we saw was completely unexpected. We saw tables and papers turned over, sheets were on the floor along with some blood, Sky's Budder sword was across the room, and the most shocking thing yet, I relized a body was on the floor. Please don't be Sky, not again. To my relief and horror, it wasn't Sky. I looked closely at the body and saw a long purple cloak. No! Seto! I ran and kneeled next to the unconscious sorcerer and realized he was breathing.

I sighed and Mitch came over. Ty was looking around for any sign of Sky. "What the Nether happened here!" He asked, looking down at Seto, and frowned, "What in Notch's name was powerful enough to seek into the base, cause this much damage, take the king, and take down the strongest sorcerer in the kingdom?"

"Not what, who." I heard Seto groan as he got up into a siting position against the wall. "And the more important question is, where did she take our king?"

I looked at him in shock, "She? Do you know who she was?"

Seto shook his head, "No, I don't, but I think I know who she's taking him to." He stood and slowly walked to his room.

The three of us followed him and found him in his chair, by his desk. "I found this earlier, before she attacked Sky." He said holding a note.

"Well, what does it say?" Ty asked impatiently. He still had his sword drawn and his face was red with anger. Seto handed Ty the note and Ty handed it to us, once we read it, well tried to anyway, I gave it back to Seto. "What book is he talking about? What does he mean, 'you can't save them all'?"

Seto sighed. "He's talking about a book Notch gave me just in case Herobrine returned. It was taken, by I'm assuming, one of his minions. I don't know what he means, but it can't be anything good."

We all were quiet for a while until Mitch broke the silence. "Well, when do we go get our king back?"

____________________________________

Oh my Notch, what happened to Sky? Who was that girl? Will they save their king? *tries to think of more questions, but can't*

Well, I think it's obvious where Sky was taken and who he was taken to. If not, well....maybe you should reread the chapter.
