******* Legendary Creeper's POV *******
I slowly climbed out of the crater until I reached the ground.
I know I'm no longer human so I tried to open my status to see what change of me.

**************
I see.
A Legendary Creeper.
This is my race now.
There are a lot of changes in my abilities but I can also see other things like the gifts of the ender dragon.
I was about to read the rest of the status when I suddenly can sense a human nearby.
I quickly close my status and started running at the direction of whom I believe is a human.
I can see a very tall wall in the distance with water in front of it.
I concentrate on my legs to make them explode.
After a moment, my legs suddenly expanded a little bit and a sudden explosion occurred.
Another crater was built on the ground and I was hurling in the air over the wall.
I suddenly saw what appears to be a castle while in mid-air.
I hit the ground pretty hard and rolled a dozen blocks.
I waited for my legs to recover so I can stand up.
After growing back my legs, I quickly run towards the keep of the castle and saw the door is made of iron.
I equipped my diamond pickaxe and started destroying the iron door.
I managed to get inside and started to locate the human that I have been looking for.
I run towards the basement I saw a lot of rooms with iron doors.
I can feel the human in one of these rooms and started destroying the door with the diamond pickaxe.
It didn't take long for me to get inside and saw a human standing in front of me.
He is shaking pretty hard and I can see so much fear in his eyes.
Human.
He is a human being.
I want him dead.
"I knew it this is a trap! I'm going to die!" The human started shouting and is on the ground kneeling and crying.
I started to walk towards him and grab him in his throat using my right hand.
I raised him high in the air until he started to have trouble breathing.
I then concentrated in my right hand.
An explosion quickly occurred and smoke begins to fill the room.
After a moment, the once beautiful room is now destroyed and there is nothing left of the human.
My right hand quickly regenerated.
'Find the room with obsidian in it.'
I can hear once again the voice of a woman. She is probably the great ender dragon that is destined to destroy this world.
I quickly destroyed every door in the basement to find what I'm looking for.
After a while, I finally found the room with obsidian in it.
I started mining the obsidian.
I took a while to mined two obsidians since it is believed to be the second hardest block in this world next to bedrock.
I walked inside the room to see what appears to be a gate of some kind.
'Fix the portal and ignite it.'
I quickly placed the missing obsidian in the portal.
I raised my right hand and concentrated on it.
My hand exploded and something purple quickly envelope the portal.
The portal is now open and I can see something on the other side.
I started walking towards the portal.
******* Rose's POV *******
We are now slowly riding towards the northwest.
I was about to complain about the slowness of our travel but I'm still very weak and King Carolus probably knows it since he used the eye of ender to me.
I have no idea that he has that kind of item but I should have expected it since he is a hero that is blessed by the Goddess.
I only have 3 eye of enders with me and I already used one of them to King Carolus.
The eye of enders was given to me by the prophet so I can determine the identity of the hero.
When I met King Carolus for the first time in the basement, I know something is odd about him and decided to use the eye of ender to him to see his status.
My intuition is right and I finally found the person I was looking for and we are now starting to go back to the Kingdom of Aezeokar.
We travel for the whole day without talking or anything.
The sun is now starting to go down.
King Carolus ordered to halt to start camping.
I was about to make a campfire and spread my makeshift bed when suddenly I can see King Carolus started building something.
I asked him what he is doing and he just said that he is building a temporary home for us.
I don't really understand what he just said and just watch him work.
I don't really have anything to do so I decided to be a lookout and guard our camp.
I was just standing observing the surroundings when suddenly I can see something moving from a distance.
I ready my iron bow in my hand and an arrow.
I waited for it to come out and I nock the arrow in the bow.
I then draw the bowstring and aimed at the being who is slowly walking towards here.
I was about to release the arrow when suddenly I can see that the person walking towards me is a monster.
A little zombie.
It looks like a girl too.
She is still walking slowly towards me but I'm still holding the string of my bow.
She is now starting to get close to me but no matter how I think that it is a monster in front of me, I can't kill it.
I suddenly saw an arrow that went past me and hit the little zombie in the head.
She quickly died and fall on the ground.
I turned around to see King Carolus holding a diamond bow in his hand.
He is staring at me and I can see no emotions in his eyes.
"Burry the body, Rose, while I finished building our tempory home." I can hear him ordering me but I just continued staring back at him.
After giving his order, he then turned around and resumed what he is doing.
I was still hesitant to follow his orders but I just turned around and picked up the body of the little girl.
I walked quite a distance from the camp and started digging 2 blocks deep in the ground.
I then place the body of the little girl in the hole and cover it.
I kneel on the ground and put my hands together to start praying.
'Goddess. Guide this poor little girl to the afterlife and to a better place'
After praying, I got up and started walking back to the camp.
I saw that King Carolus is now finished building a temporary house.
We quickly got inside the house and I saw two beds on each side and a furnace on the center.
There is also a glowstone on the ceiling to light up the interior.
It is like a normal home you see in a village and I can't believe that he built this so quick.
He was about to start cooking food when I immediately volunteered to do it.
We ate the food in silence.
After eating, we quickly got on our beds to sleep.
I can't really sleep since I can still see the face of the little girl that I just buried.
I got up in my bed and see that King Carolus is now sleeping.
I can't believe how easy for him to kill a girl even it is a monster.
I suddenly noticed something strange to him.
I started walking towards him I saw that he is sweating and shaking in his bed.
He is probably having a nightmare.
I was about one step away to reach him when suddenly he got up and pointed a spear in my head.
His spear is so close in my eyes that I quickly took a step back.
He lowered his weapon after a while and then put it away in his inventory.
His sweat is dripping in his face and he quickly wipes them away using a towel.
I can't believe what is happening.
I can't believe that even a powerful being like him has nightmares.
I wonder what he just dreamed about?
He quickly ordered me to get back on my bed to sleep when suddenly I can hear a sound coming on the outside.
King Carolus noticed it too and he quickly got up and started walking towards the door to slowly opened it.
He then peeked outside.
"Skeletons. There are only ten or so of them. I guess no matter how careful we are, they will still find us in their territory." I can hear him talking to me while still looking outside.
He then wore his armor and equipped a sword in his hand.
I was shocked to see that his armor is also made of diamond.
How many diamonds this person has to be able to craft an entire diamond armor and diamond weapons?
"Stay here. I'll take care of them." He ordered to me while starting to walk outside.
He closed the door but I quickly run to open it to chase after him.
I can't just sit around while monsters are attacking our camp.
I equipped the new armor that I received from King Carolus and my father's bow.
I still can't use the diamond bow King Carolus gave to so I decided to use the iron bow for now.
It is really dark outside the house and I can barely see anything.
King Carolus saw me standing beside him and stared at me for a moment.
He then dropped a bottle of some kind in his hand on the ground.
The bottle breaks and there is a liquid that splashed both me and King Carolus.
I suddenly can see the surroundings like it is day time.
I don't know what is going on but I can see skeletons equipped with leather armor and stone weapons in front of us.
Some of them also have bows in their hands.
There are about 10 blocks away from us right now and they are now starting to charge.
"You take care of the skeletons wielding a bow while I take care of the rest." I suddenly hear King Carolus ordering me while he is preparing to attack.
I quickly nocked an arrow in my bow and prepare to fire.
The skeletons are now on King Carolus reach and he quickly swings his sword towards them and quickly killed them.
I can't believe how quickly it is for him to kill the monsters and about half of them are already dead.
There are still five of them and three of them are equipped with a bow.
I fired arrows towards the skeletons on the back and the three of them quickly died.
King Carolus also managed to kill the remaining monsters and silence quickly filled the area.
King Carolus and I just stand for a moment while staring at the dead enemies.
After making sure that there is no other monster in the surroundings, we quickly gathered the remains of the skeletons and bury them in the giant hole.
We quickly walked back to our house after cleaning the bodies.
King Carolus ordered to go back to sleep but I'm still hung up on the recent battle that I can't shut my eyes close.
I just lie on the bed just staring on the stone ceiling when suddenly my weak body finally gave out and I managed to sleep.
