Updating worlds 1: Meeting The Nether Lord

Start from the beginning
                                        

The door swings open and a form steps though, gulping Tango backs up freezes.

"Oh," The man says, "It's all right fledgling, I won't hurt cha."

"What?" Tango's wings flair in confusion.

"Fledgling, you are a phoenix child, you are a fledgling," The man grins, he's tall. Very tall, taller then Xisuma. He looks stronger than X as well, "I cant blame you for not knowing. Did the piglins keep you safe?"

"No, slow down," Tango sighs, "Who are you?"

"I have many names, but the most common would be The Nether Lord," The Nether Lord grins, his teeth are sharp, ash colored skin run touch with cracks of lava, and he has stubby horns right on his for head. He's no longer wearing his armor, instead he's wearing a simple blood red tunic with gold stitching.

"Oh, voids brother?"

Nether look over and nod, "You know it?"

"I don't, but my d-friend does," Tango shakes his head, "ugh, my brain's all weird."

"You are rebirthing," Nether chuckals, "I think my presence is making your fledgling form and adult mind clash a bit."

"Oh."

Nether sits on the bed, "Now, I told you my name, what's yours?"

"Tango."

Nether nods, "I'll have one of my helpers bring you over to a wash room and get you some clothing that fits, then you and I will chat about what I've missed in the world... have you been to her domain?"

"The overworld? That's where I live."

"A phoenix living in the overworld," Nether gasps, "You must be freezing."

"It's not that cold..."

Nether narrows his eyes, "We shall discuss this latter, now you go with the strider and get out of those oversized clothes."

Automatically Tango nods, "Ok."

Once he's cleaned up he puts on the clothes Nether had left for him. It's a sort of dress, tunic thing... red fabric with gold stitching and flame like embroidery. The neck and sleeves have buttons to adjust the size easily. The waist has a cord running through it, much like a hoodie would to adjust the waist.

"I look like I'm wearing a dress," Tango sighs as he buckles the gladiator style sandals in place.

Following the strider into a large hall Tango marvels at the details. Chirping the metallic strider bumps a chair with its head.

Climbing up to sit in the chair Tango swings his feet as the strider putters off to find Nether.

"So," Nether starts as he sits across from Tango setting a bowl of something down on the coffee table, "You said you lived in the overall?"

"Yep."

"How long have you lived there?"

"All my life," Tango shrugs.

Frowning Nether furrows his eyebrows, "that can't be good for a phoenix, and must freeze."

"Not really," Tango shrugs, "When it gets really cold I sorta shut down but I haven't really noticed too much of a temperature difference, besides that."

Humming softly Nether squints at Tango, "You aren't a true phoenix are you?"

"No. Im not, Uh you might know how did this... Avar?"

Nether suddenly seems to lose his form. Lava seeping thought his cracks. A deep growl fills the air, "That bastard."

"Yeah," Tango sighs, "The meteor hit our world, found out we had some vex mages and started changing every one."
