Chapter 8 ~ Sky

We didn't lose....and thankfully didn't lose anyone. I don't know what will happen to J's team next trial day, but we're safe....for now...

"Greetings to those still in the trials! I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that only one person has to partake in tonights trial! The bad news is no one will know who was chosen until it's to late."

"Wait, the trial is tonight!?!" I asked in surprise.

"Yes Sky, the trials will be held tonight. I will explain the rules when the time comes, but until then....don't do anything stupid."

"I think you just dissribed Sky." A recrute muttered as he walked by. I glaired at him in return. "Hey, just stating the truth."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. All right everyone listen up! Tonight is trial night, and we don't know whom is partaking in this. So, you are to report to one of us if you are chosen. Do I make myself clear?" I saw many nods of approval and dismissed them.

"Sky, what if they can't report to us?" Selene asked walking up to me.

"Well....then we'll know they've been chosen huh?" She nodded and walked off. I flew up to the highest point of our camp. The tree that over looked our camp stood tall against the bright setting sun. I stood on the highest branch that could support my wight and looked around. Everything was calm....peaceful....just like back home. I sighed and sat down on the branch. It swayed slightly in the wind, forcing me to keep my balance my holding on to the branch next to me. How can someplace so peaceful....be the last place so many will ever see? I took a deep breath and leaned back against the tree. I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Morning

"SKY! SELENE IS GONE!" I jumped and almost fell out of the tree I was in when I heard the shouting. I looked down at the recrute.

"What?" I jumped down and landed in front of him. "What do you mean she's gone?"

He growled slightly. "I mean she's not here! She just.....vanished!"

"Impossible! Unless.....unless she was chosen for the trial last night...." The recrute nodded and ran off.

Alpha appeared in front of me and smiled. "You must be the smart one huh? Well, your right. She was chosen. Now, the rules of this trial are simple, work as a team to save your leader." Alpha said with a booming voice.

"From what?" Someone asked.

Alpha smerked. "From me." He said before dissapearing "each other leader has been given a map. For every day your team fails to save the other leader, they will get punished. The losers of the last trial will be punished much worse than the others. That being said....you may retrieve them by any means necessary...as of now...we are not to get involved in your rescue mission, only to provide obsticals along the way....good luck. The trial begins now."

I checked my back pocket, and sure enough, there was a map. I unfolded it and examined it. It seemed to be written in another language. I growled to myself and walked to my sorcerer. "Drake! Can you translate this map?" I asked storming into his house.

He jumped and looked at be before taking the map. He nodded. "Yah....but it could take about a day...." I nodded and walked out.

"You have 3 hours. We need to get Selene back." I growled.

"Back? From what?"

I didn't respond before walking out. "Don, Ian, you two come with me."

"Why?" Ian asked running over with a short male behind him. Don had short black hair, and bright blue eyes. He wore a green shirt, and jeans.

"Alpha said by any means necessary. I'm calling everyone to the starting grounds." I said running off with the two behind me.

Later

"Why the hell am I here?" Entity growled.

"The same reason the rest of us....wait....where's team Finis?" Ty asked looking around.

I looked tword their portal and srugged. "I don't know....should we go check?"

Entity, Ty, and Seto nodded. I walked to the portal and jumped through landing in the nether a few seconds later, followed by the others. "It's hot here!" A fluffy complained.

"We're in the Nether Jerome." Ty said rolling his eyes. "Of corse it's hot."

Ian snickered and looked at me. I srugged and walked to the castle. Looking to my left I saw a....uhhh....polar bear? "How? How is there even...." I shook my head and kept walking. Alpha makes no sense sometimes.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Herobrine growled. Behind him people and mobs were running around in a surprisingly orderly fashion.

"Didn't you hear Sky call for a group meeting?" Seto asked.

Herobrine growled. "No. I've been focusing on trying to find J. Now get out. I'm busy." He walked away and started ordering people around.

"Dad we can help." I said without thinking.

Herobrine and everyone else froze. "What did you just call me?"

"Ummmm....."

Seto grabbed my arm and tugged my sleeve. Herobrine turned around again and glaired at me. "Did you just call me dad?"

"Uhhhh.....I-I can explain...."

He growled and his eyes flashed bright white. "My son is dead. Killed by him." He pointed right at Entity and I saw his eyes glow brighter. "I am not your father." He hissed walking away again.

"....Entity kills me in his dimension?" I mumbled, watching him walk away.

Seto and Ty looked at Entity in shock. "I didn't do anything!" Entity exclaimed. "I didn't even know he had a son!"

I shook my head and walked back to the portal. "Come on....we have to get out team members back."
