“Stop.” Aimsey jumped as the placed the last Ender Portal. They turned around as the portal ignited to life. Aimsey froze, their heart skipped a beat. They blinked. That couldn’t be… it wasn’t, right? No, surely not. She had written the note to them, she had said she had to leave! So- so why was she here? Why was Guqqie here. And why was her eyes red..? “Guqqie-?”

“Step away from the portal.” Guqqie instructed, her tone serious and dark. A diamond sword shone with the light of the lava on either side of the stone bridge in the stronghold.
