I hear footsteps. 

"Ow! Stella, watch your horns!" Ciara snapped.

"Sorry, it's just so dark in here."

They came to the clearing. I can't tell if that's them or not. It looks like them.

"Rain!" Stella yelled.

"𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚜?"

Ciara put the chest down. She opened it. The ender crystals were in there, from what I could tell.

"We brought you the crystals. Now release him!" Ciara yelled. 

"𝙽𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎. 𝙸 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗."

"What? What more could you want?" Stella said.

"The...location...of...the...armies." I pant.

"That wasn't part of the deal! You lied!" Stella yelled. 

"𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕 𝚕𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚢 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜. 𝙻𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚝, 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚜𝚕𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚢."

"What will you do if we don't?" Ciara asked.

"𝙸𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚣𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚔𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎."

I felt a much stronger bolt than usual. My body felt like an electricity bubble just waiting to explode. I shake. I can't help it. I spat blood out. 

"Stop it!" Stella yelled.

The machine holding me flips me upside down. I don't know why. God, I feel like I could throw up. This was painful in so many ways. A circular saw dug its way into my flesh. Stella started to cry. Everyone looked frozen.

"Alright! We'll tell you!" Stella yelled. 

The pain stopped. I flipped back over. I breathed heavily. I took in deep breaths.

"𝙸'𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚝 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜."

The machines gave them a map. Stella drew the location of the fortress. I took in deep breaths. Stella gave them the map with the location. 

"We gave you the map now release him!" She cried. 

Narox nodded. The machine lowered me. The chains opened. I walk a few steps, but then I fell to the ground. Stella cradled me. She was still so blurry.

"Hi..." I breath.

"We'll take good care of you." She said.

"𝚆𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝙳𝚛𝚊𝚐𝚘𝚗 𝚃𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚛."
