~Layla's POV~
We sat down at the table. This time, Ian rearranged the chairs so that there were three chairs on the long side of the table and three on the other.
It was clear who sat on which side.
I was facing Jerome, who had a careful blank expression. Ty was in the middle, facing Mitch, who was facepalming and mumbling something. Seto and Ian just seemed uncomfortable.
"Whats your problem?" Ty snapped. She stuffed her hands in her pockets. I for one knew that she had her sword hilt in there.
Oh, and i also nearly forgot. Our redstone armor were probably in our closets.
"Theres a legend about Seto," Jerome said, staring uneasily at Seto, who just looked under the table.
"And?" i demanded.
Ian cleared his throat. "It was written in Old Minecraftian, but then someone interpreted it and switched it to English."
Ty got out her sword and leveled it at Mitch. "I want to know the legend. You cant just go around hating people for no reason."
Mitch put up his hands in a surrender position. "We have a perfectly good reason to hate him." Ty didnt deactivate her sword.
Jerome told the story. "There were a lot of sorcerers a few years back, and they all originated from Notch and Herobrine, two of the Creators of Minecraft. Of course, there were more Creators, but they either got killed or disappeared.
Notch and Herobrine were approached by a man, and he asked for one favor. To become a person who can manipulate the most dangerous and common thing in the world - magic.
Herobrine was against the idea, but Notch agreed, and it was on one condition. That they would be immortal and can continue to look after the world of Minecraft and make changes. The man agreed, and Notch granted him the powers and made him the first sorcerer.
But Herobrine didnt like this idea. Since his brother made the Sorcerer, he'll make other things. Like hybrids. The thought of infusing one thing with another pleased him and he made a Squid hybrid, a Blaze hybrid, a Bacca hybrid and three boss hybrids, the Wither, Ender Dragon, and finally a Brine. This took fifty years to complete.
He sent the hybrids to destroy the sorcerer but it was too late. The sorcerer had procreated and had already a line of sorcerers, all his descendants. Then he set his descendants against the hybrids and committed suicide.
The Hybrid-Sorcerer Wars lasted for fifteen years, until one of the sorcerers managed to kill the Ender Dragon hybrid. The hybrids scattered quickly after that, so the sorcerers had the victory.
But Herobrine saw this and took all his hybrids in again, and remodeled them. He also recreated the Ender Dragon hybrid.
And this time, around one hundred years after the first Sorcerer and Hybrid, the sorcerers were defeated and killed. But one remained, and he went into hiding. Herobrine has given orders three years ago to search and kill him.
Any hybrid who did so would receive glory and honor and would be made a Creator of the Minecraft world."
Ty acted so suddenly, we didnt even have time to think, i only had time to make redstone shields to shield Seto, Ty herself, and me.
She threw her redstone sword straight at Mitch, and it pierced his chest and made a real bright light, probably an explosion.
I took down the redstone shields and there was Mitch, holding thr deactivated sword and closing his eyes. The big wound made by the sword was closing, healing slowly, but blood still trickled out.
I looked at Ty, who had put her hoodie up so we couldnt see her eyes. I passed her a redstone fireball. She should have one.
Poor Seto looked scared, traumatized and also confused. "But im only fifteen," he said.
"Then the original sorcerer who was hiding must have made more little sorcerers," Ian explained. "And then killed himself. Too many sorcerers will create an aura which can be tracked, you see."
"But Herobrine let us go," I protested. "Why would he want Seto to go when he could've killed him?"
"Uh technically he told us not to take Seto," Ty reminded, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair.
"But he told Enderlox to let go of him," i said. "That did help in our escape."
"Herobrine's confined to the Nether, so Im guessing he was using a hologram?" Mitch breathed, the wound slowly fading to become a scar.
"Yeah," Ty and I huffed.
Suddenly Seto got to his feet and flipped the table. His eyes were glowing purple. We all scrambled away from him.
Then his eyes flashed to their original color. He looked terrified. "Its not safe," he whispered. "They changed my magic. They can control me." then his eyes flickered and they glowed purple again.
"Skybrine must have done something to him!" Mitch yelled.
"NO SHIT!" I shouted back as Seto blasted magic at us. The fireballs were black. Black Magic. He was practicing White Magic whem we found him... White was mainly healing and doing good stuff, but Black was about destruction and all that bad stuff.
I grabbed a towel and threw it at Seto. It covered his head for a bit before he tugged it off. Mitch and Jerome took more drastic measures. They picked up a chair and charged him.
"Lead him outside!" Ian yelled, transforming into the squid hybrid.
We all made a mad dash for the door, and Seto followed, gliding in the air, about three inches from the ground. I guess thats what sorcerers do.
When we were outside, though, Seto dropped to the floor and his eyes returned to normal.
"They dont have a good signal here," he gasped, sitting up. "Something in the house is enhancing the signal, though, making it into a weak signal."
Ian looked weird, so i went over and put my hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
Ty saw me do that and also the look on Ian's face too, it was a strained look like he couldnt stop himself from attacking the sorcerer.
"Seto doesnt want to hurt anyone!" Ty declared, but then Jerome let out a strangled cry and charged forward to Seto, who was still sitting down with his head between his knees and doing breathing exercises.
"No!" Ty and I both yelled. I blasted him backwards and Ty opened up a portal behind him, and he appeared safely behind us. We glanced at each other then at Mitch, who was punching a tree violently.
I placed a protective redstone ball around Jerome and Ian, to stop them from escaping, and one around Mitch to block out the sounds of his cursing. They were going at miles per second. Even i dont curse that much.
Seto looked fine when we ran over. He was just a bit shaken.
"Im going to build a house out here, alright?" Ty assured Seto, then glanced at me. "I mean, us." she winked at me.
~Ty's POV~
Luckily Layla got the hint and we got to work together again, using the logic manipulation. The house was completed in no time, along with a bed and also a very little amount of cocoa beans, enough to calm Seto down but not enough to get him addicted. (please please please do not fo drugs, this is a story, even a bit will make u addicted)
After we lit up the place with torches, we said goodbye to Seto and rolled the redstone ball casings with the hybrids insifr back to the house. We dare not let them out outside, or Mitch might burn down the house.
It was a bit tricky getting the balls through the door, especially Ian and Jerome's, since theirs were bigger. But we managed it in the end, and Layla controlled the redstone balls to climb up the stairs and into the bedrooms.
Mitch got his own bedroom back, but since Ian and Jerome were in the same one we had to stuff that ball in Jerome's bedroom.
Then we locked the door. They wouldnt break their own house. Probably. I would, but i dont think they would.
