In The Eye Of The Strongholder

The being placed another brick onto the wet clay, before moving on to the next section of the wall. While spreading more wet clay on the ground with it's hand, a spider walked by. The being glanced at it, a grimace slowly spreading across their face before they screamed in anger. The being swatted at the spider, batting it to the wall. The being began hitting the spider into an inch of it's pulp, before pausing. The being noticed a small, grey cockroach-like being sniff the block of brick it placed before squeezing through the cracks in the still wet clay.

The being hissed, before approaching the bricks, it's mouth agape. It reached it's hand into the block, and it felt something skittering over it's hands. It crawled out onto it's arms, and the being grabbed it with it's other hand. The insect hissed, and bit the being, but it quickly began to turn dark purple. It thrashed around in it's grasp, until it became fully purple. The thing stopped squirming, and the being dropped it to the floor. It slithered down a hallway slowly. Another being, one with blue eyes, approached the one building.

"Greetings." The blue eyed on said.

"I am busy." The one with green eyes said. "Our new home won't build itself."

"It doesn't matter." Blue said.

Green stopped spreading the wet clay and looked at Blue.

"What do you mean?" Green asked.

"We found a way out." Blue said.

Green looked at the ground.

"What is it like?" Green asked.

"There's green as far as the eyes can see. We see both flora and fauna. It is perfect." Blue said, placing his hand onto his brother's shoulder.

"What about Mother?" Green asked. Blue looked down.

"She can't come. She's bound to the spires that give her life." Blue said.

They were both quiet for a while.

"I'm scared." Green said.

"Don't be. I will remain by your side through thick and thin." Blue said.

"Thank you." Green said.

"Come." Blue said, standing up.

Green stood up with Blue, and the two Endermen left the stronghold behind, heading to the surface.
