Fawn's POV

"Do I look ready? Does my hair look nice?" Cara said quickly.

"Really?" I said. "It's just the Wither King. It's not like it's Notch."

"Well, it is the Wither King." Sparrow said, putting an emphasis around the word around 'King'. "I mean, wouldn't you show more respect to another ruler."

"True..." I said thoughtfully, trailing off. "But I rather wish I wouldn't."

"Hmm." Sparrow said. "When we get back to the normality of this, I'm going to teach you about etiquette."

"Shh, be quiet." Cara hissed. "He's here."

The Wither King was rather small in my opinion. I thought he would be the actual Wither, three heads and all, but it was just a wither skeleton, with a crown. Around him, pigmen showed him letters, and documents, and he would nod thoughtfully.

"Clear this room now." he said.

"But sir, what about this evening's meeting with the Blaze Prince?" the pigmen stuttered.

"Well, reschedule it. " The King hissed. "I have visitors."

"Right away sir." the pigmen said while walking away. The door slammed shut, and the rest of us were left with a silence filled with the hiss of lava.

"Well, hello Fawn." he said quietly. "Nice to have a leader to see eye-to-eye with."

"How do you know my name?" I said slowly and cautiously. "I believe we've never met."

"Oh, I know everyone here, especially a ruler." The Wither King said. "Besides, I'm my dad's son. I'm not the King, just the Prince."

"Well, where's your dad then?" Sparrow answered.

"Off with business." he said. "Something about Notch. He said it was my job to take care of any buisness that came along. "

"Well, Prince-" I said, before being interrupted.

"Call me Skully." he said, crossing his arms over his lap. "Now, I heard something about Dad's scepter."

"Well, I kinda need to borrow that to take to my dad, so he can give me back my powers, so I can take on Notch and ya." I explained.

"You promise to bring it back here as soon as you get your powers back?" Skelly said, raising an arched eyebrow. "Promise?"

"I promise." I said quickly. "Also, do you have anyway to get back to Herobrine's Palace real quickly, because it took an awful long time to get here by foot.

"Why yes, I do." Skelly said, pointing to a large, red door. "Take that and there should be a portal there. Jump in, and you'll be there."

"Ahem." Cara said, waving her hand. "The scepter."

"Oh yeah." Skelly said, blushing. He whistled loudly, and a pigmen came in running with the royal scepter.

It was around two feet long, with gold carvings of the history of the WIther Kingdom. Jewels were embedded all over the scepter, and a large ruby was at the very tip of it. It glowed a dark red, and I had the suspicion that the ruby was what gave this scepter both it's royalty, and it's magic.

"Make sure not to break it." Skelly said nervously. "Dad'd kill me if he found out that. A couple scratches might be able to pass by, but I wouldn't push it if I were you."

"Well, we've been pushing the limits for a while now." I said. "Can't be safe with Notch around."

"The people consider you a leader, Fawn." Skelly proclaimed, clearly not listening to me at all.

"Ok, first off, are you listening to me?!" I said. "I just said, that Notch is planning to eliminate all rebels!"

"Oh." Skelly said, yawning. "I suppose that doesn't concern me."

"Argh!" I said, clutching my hands. "Seriously, seriously? That's how your acting?" 

Sparrow and Kai started to back away slowly. "I suppose we'll be going."

"Yeah." I said stalking away. I shot one last glare at Skelly before entering the door. "How will you feel when the Wither Kingdom falls apart around you, and you can't do anything about that? Think about it."
