Ageless (Herobrine X Reader)

Part 2

Que didn't answer her directly, but instead stood up from his seat at the table, smiling as he addressed you, "Ah, (Y/n), I would advise you wash up before your trip. But DO hurry! Herobrine wants to speak with you within the evening." You looked to your mother, to your family, to the skeletons and the swords. Finally, your eyes landed on Danny. You greatly needed his help here. With pleading eyes, you begged for his guidance. He just stared back, unsure. But, finally, as he took in all that was around him, Danny stood and walked over to you.

"Herobrine just wants to talk to you. From what I've heard, it doesn't sound like he wants to kill you..but..." He grabbed your hand and held it firmly in his. "I'll go with you to make sure he doesn't.." Hugging him, it was decided. You would go back to the Nether, see what all this chaos was really about, and finally put an end to these odd instances. Who knows.. Herobrine might just ask a few questions about you, and then let you be gone, back to your normal life as a farmer girl!

Quickly, not wanting to make Herobrine angry, you rushed, took a shower, did your hair, put on some makeup for once, and put on the fanciest outfit you had! When you came back down, your whole family smiled at you, admiring your beautiful dress and hair. That gave you the confidence you needed.

Stepping into the box to be carried off, "WAIT!" Your mom and dad ran up to you. "We're coming too! They smiled, Danny was right behind them. Then, your uncles and aunts joined them, as well as your older cousins. A couple kids offered to go, but they were declined. Instead, one of your older cousins was put in charge of them. "We'll be back soon!" Your dad promised the younger children. Now, following the small army of wither skeletons, fourteen members of your family followed suit, bringing a smile to your face.

-----time skip cuz I forg't how to do these-----

When you arrived on the cobble trail again, a tightness began to build in your chest. Danny explained to everyone behind you again and again what had happened. It was hard for any of them to believe. Finally, after three hours or so of traveling through portals and across secret roads, you had arrived at the palace. Again, tall, dark towers stretched to the Nether's roof like limbs. Bridges between the towers fortified them, and three layers of walls and nets draping between those walls carried an unnecessarily dangerous feel to them. At the third and final gate, you were halted again.

"Identity checking." An enderman with white cloth wrapped around one of his purple eyes grunted, walking up to you. He kept his head down so you wouldn't need to be the one to divert your eyes. "Hold out your wrist, please."

"..Which?"

"Either will do." Slowly, you stuck out your left wrist. The enderman held a bright purple glowing sphere above it, revealing an odd symbol you hadn't even seen before.

"What is-!?"

"You were wearing cuffs, ma'am... They imprint markings onto the wrists of all who were arrested so we can keep track of them. Don't worry. We can have it removed later. No pain. For now, though, it works as a way for us to make sure you are the same person we saw last time." He explained. You just nodded slowly. "...-It's her. Take her in." He commanded, and the gates opened. Turning around, you saw your family held back by armed soldiers. Several, like Danny and your parents pushing past. Your older brother, though determined, was greatly saddened to see that he couldn't keep his promise. Your eyes watered.

There was no going back now...

The doors were slammed behind you. Heavy and cold. A darkness haunted the hallway in front of you. But! You, thankfully, hadn't been instructed to go into the heart of the beast. To your right was a large doorway with no door, with plenty of light shining out from it. When you entered the room, slowly, you saw a glass wall facing the courtyard you had just come from. The third, massive gate in view. It was still terribly dark and gloomy; as was the Nether. But, couldn't they add at least a LITTLE more variety in color..? Mostly, everything was a dark dreary red with extreme dark shades of purple only mixing in as the ominous fog floating around.
