Before this.
(Link in the description to both.)





As I stare out the window,

The rain pattering,

All I hear is silence.

Thoughts.

Rethinking the plan.

Over.

And over.

And over again.

Was it smart to plant a nuke under Rythian's base?

I was never going to set it off.

I wanted to make him scared.

No, that's not the word.

"Intimidated." I say aloud.

Yes, intimidated.

And he has the one thing I want.

I may have wealth.

I may have power.

But I don't care for those.

I want...

Love.

And he has who I want.

Zoey.

I argue back and forth with myself.

If I kill him, she will never love me.

If I don't, I will never have her.

But what if she doesn't know that the nuke is me...

Oh, who am I kidding?

Who else would do that?

I wanted to show them I...



I don't even know why I did it.

Will he try to stop it from exploding?

Will she?

So many questions, so little time.

Walking around,

I try to calm myself.

I am failing.




Red hair.

Mushroom loving.

Crazy.

But my kind of crazy.

Perfect.




Enderborn.

Purple eyes.

Mage.

Distraction.

Stealing her away from me.



Lab coat.

Goggles.

Scientist.

Lonely.

Looking for someone,

But finding nothing,

Everywhere he's looked.




In the middle of the night,

I hear a boom.

But not just TNT.

A nuke.

The nuke.

What have I done?

I check the chat box.

Please let it be Rythian.

Please.



I don't hate Rythian.

He's just in the way.



I know I'm unstable at times.

Like a chemical reaction.

No knowing what will happen.

I've noticed she is too.



I don't know why she is...

Well, who she is.

But, I have a feeling,

I know her from somewhere.

Before she met him.

Before I met her.




My father and mother,

Were the top scientists at a lab.

UtopiaLabs.

Since my parents worked there, I spent most of my time there.

I remember one test subject.

I never saw her.

Only rumors described her.

I imagined her.

Blood red hair.

Unpredictable.

Enraged.

Fiery.

Like... a Blaze.



And then, my head is filled with visions of fire.

I shutter.

Something,
Or someone,
Set the labs on fire.

My parents died.

Everyone died.

Even the girl.

I was the only survivor,

With severe burn marks.

Everything that happened after that is a blur.



The words were there.

"ZOEYA DIED"

Disbelief.

Realization.

Stupidity.

What I feel now.

She would be the one,

Who knew so much about science,

With no experience.

She would be the one with the blood red hair.

Unpredictable.

Zoey was the test subject.

She never died.

She somehow survived.

How could I have been so stupid?



And she tried to defuse the bomb.

Rythian wouldn't even.



All my fault.


This is all my fault.


"Wait." I say to myself.

How come the message didn't say
"ZOEYA BLEW UP"

Something seems wrong.

I need to know.




I fly to the newly demolished ruins of Blackrock Stronghold.

Tears sting my eyes as I see Rythian's cape over a lifeless corpse.

Over her.



He seems to be communicating with someone.

There is only one option.

The Enderqueen.

He is trying to resurrect her.



Ending 1:

As I watch over the mountains,

Her body is engulfed in orange and red light.

Like a phoenix.

She appears there.

A ghost.

And they hug.

Her grey eyes peer up at me.

She knows I'm here.

I know what I have to do.

One moment.

To reunite.

I feel let down as I fly over.

"You..." Rythian scowls at me as I approach.

He tries to attack me, but seems to be using his fists.

He looks worn out,

Tired.

And it comes to me.

He gave up his magic.

To have her.

For her.

"Stop!" She says to the both of us.

"He didn't kill me. I...I failed Rythian."

I wanted to confess.

Everything.

Our pasts.

My love.

"Zoey." I say. "And you too, Rythian. I've done some bad stuff. I can admit to it.
But, I can bring you back, Zoey. To human form."

"What if you're lying?" The Endermage says.

"I'm not." I promise. "Never to Zoey."

She looks at Rythian.



Many days later, after tireless hours in front of computers and technology,
the transfusion is done.
Her spirit is back in her body.
Despite being in an explosion, all it needed was a new arm, in her choice of green, to be perfectly fine.
And to match, Rythian willing agreed to go "Magepunk",
To accompany her "Cyberpunk."

Also, I have noticed a sudden change in Rythian.

He seems, happier.
Less serious.

And his purple eyes, have turned teal blue.

His magic has come back.

He won't tell Zoey what has happened.


In joy of being reunited with Rythian and Teep again,

Zoey wrote a song.

She goes around, singing it.

She says

"No matter what,

Our Blackrock story carries on."





Ending 2:

As I watch over the mountains,

Her body is engulfed in a grayish light.

And she's still dead.

He failed.

And as I look,

He seems to be to transforming.

Into an Enderman.

And, how I used to hate him fades away.

I realize Zoey needs him.

Before he's gone, I fly over to him.

Grab his shoulders.

Shake him viciously.

"You can't leave! SHE NEEDS YOU!"

He is knocked out of the spell.

All I say is

"I can bring her back. Really."

He passes out.

And I realize what I have just done.

I fly the both of them back to my castle.

And I know Zoey's spirit will follow.



Many tireless days later, she is human again.

She needed a fake arm, but is back to her old self again.

On the other hand, Rythian and I aren't on good terms,

But we don't despise each other.

His eyes are now blue,

And his magic is restored,

Despite being taken away.

So many things uncertain.

So many things unknown.

But, I'll know eventually.

And so will she.




Ending 3:

As I watch from over the mountains, her body is engulfed by light.

Grey light.

Still dead.

Fear courses through my veins.

And when I look back,

Rythian is transforming.

Into an Enderman.

I do nothing to stop him.

Why should I?

Gone.

Both of them,

Gone.

I fly to her lifeless body,

The cloak thrown haphazardly on her.

I carry her body to my castle.



Days later, she wakes to find herself in my bedroom.

"Where am I?" She asks.

"You're in my castle. I brought you here."

"Lalna?" She questions.

I reply.

"Where's Rythian?"

"He... He's gone." I state.
"It was too late for him. He transformed completely into an Enderman. He won't remember you.

I'm sorry."

Tears well up her eyes.

And she tries to blink them back.

"Thank you" She says. "For everything."

Halfheartedly.



She really doesn't care.

Not to be here, not to be alive.

Only for him.

That's all she's ever cared about.

And he's gone.
