Claire POV-

The purge had been going on for hours. As expected, Champwan and Tom were out there kicking ass while the rest struggled not to get killed. Nevertheless, Jordan was doing alright, not too bad but also no Champwan good.

Thoungout the purge he had spared her a few times without explanation, he just smile and walk away. Nothing frustrated her more than being spared by him. Was he just too good to kill her!

As she went on a wild hunt for Champwan the priest called out all using the would communicator.

"Dianite said he wanted to see his followers in the nether right this moment, the purge isn't over but this is of outmost importance" the priest said unhappy

Jordan hear steps coming out for the bushes behind her after hearing the message. She quickly turned around terrified only to find Tom skipping away to see his god, his mischievous smile fully equipped.

"What the hell! Were you following me around Tom?!" She asked

Tom stopped and laughed "Kinda. Well I have to go, have fun!" He said running full speed towards the priest's house.

There was no way she wouldn't go see what on earth was going on in the nether, luckily Tucker and Sonja agreed with her. They all, decided to meet at the nether portal as soon as possible.

As Jordan ran towards it she remembered what she had seen years ago, the temple... that's what it must be!

This must be the relveal of the temple, sadly she didn't remember much about it. Also, things seemed to go differently so she decided to proceed with caution. If she was right though, she may get to see Dinate which was something she had been dying to do for days.

The nether.

She had never been there before and she heard it was quite dangerous. Seeing as the End was terrifying, she couldn't even fathom how much worse the nether would be. Those terrifying thoughts swirled through her head as she jogged, it wasn't until she slowed down to make sure she was goi gather right way that she noticed there was someone running with her.

Champwan.

"What the hell! How long have you been running with me!" She asked

"Just a bit, but you seemed lost in though so I said nothing." He said calmly

"You're going too?" Jordan asked curiously " I didn't think you would care"

"There is no way I would miss this. We were all forbidden from the nether for so long, whatever this is must be important." He said as we Ickes up the pace again

"Yeah I know it is. By the way, after all this drama is over, do you mind if we talk for a bit. I know you're not comfortable around others so if you don't..."

"Fine. I don't mind. Lest just hope we get out of this alive then" he said

"Just like that? Why? I thought you hated me."

"Not really, but I do have a condition. Since your probably gonna interrogate me you just must alow me to do the same. I have just as many questions as you do."

Before she had a chance to answer he took her silence as confirmation and ran ahead. That guy was just full of surprises..

"Hey Jordan! Common let's go! Tucker just went in!" Sonja screamed

"Oh my god! This is crazy! You guys need to come see this!" Said Tucker through the world communicator.

Her and Sonja rushed in short after. When Jordan opened her eyes she saw the nether for the first time. It was a dark place with red sand all over the place, she could see pigs with legs marching around like soldiers with golden weapons as well. If that wasn't weird enough, there were giant jellyfish like creatures in the sky throwing fire balls everywhere, not to mention there were ominous noises coming from all directions.

Zombie pigmen and ghasts.

Sonja was unamused by all of that, but Jordan couldn't even move. Never had she seen something so terrifying in her life, just whenher mind couldnt be more impressed she looke out in front of her to see what Sonja was screaming about.

There were no words.

It was a giant castle on the ledge of the island they were in. The castle was a few feet below them surrounded by lava, yet the top of the castle reached higher than were they were standing. The castle reached the sky...or roof? There was a roof over the whole dimension made of the same material as the ground, bright red but with spots of glowing stone.

Jordan had seen the highest skyscraper once, this castle was at least twice the size in height!

After standing in awe for a few more minutes like a lunatic she realize all the drama around her.

Tucker had killed Tom and Nade, stopping them from reaching the castle of their god.

"So were gonna stop them from getting there? Sounds good to me, you guys still wanna go down there and explore?" Asked Sonja

"Yeah lets go! Man I haven't killed someone in ages! That felt good! What'd you say Jordan, think you can handle the nether?" Tucker joked

Though she was a bit scared of the nether her curiosity was stronger than her fears. She smiled and gave a nod befor they set out to find a way to get down

After slowly making their way down they realized that getting across was gonna be an even greater problem than expected. Jordan had never felt what its was like to die by lava and she didn't want to find out so they all began to take precautions on how to go about this.

As they set out to find materials to create a bridge a voice from the world communicator addressed them all. All of them stopped, terrified.

It was Dianite.

" I hath a message for all of you" he began

"You were told to stay away from my domain. You were told that the nether was off limits, and for good reason. You see, I have been fortifying, preparing for what lays ahead. My halls, my kindgdom, hold many secrets...on,y those that are faithful to me will learn of such things."

The three of them looked at eachother, all of them wanting to know those secrets.

"My minions watch over my fortress, they watch over my realm. Only a true Dianite can enter.... Behold! The temple of Dianite! My forces are building, my army...I know what is to come, I know what is rising. Death." Then the communication stopped.

They all remained silent. Clearly all worried for what was to come....

Jordan got closer to the ledge to got a better view when a fireball barely grazed her. When she got over the sock she saw a ghast has almost killed her. They all took refuge and began to think over a new plan.

"Well we can't give up, now we definitely need to know what's in there!" Said Tucker

"Lest just try not to get knocked off by that monster. Kronos just angered all the pigmen so we have to be carefully all around, not just the skies." Said Sonja

Sure enough, there were loud pig shrieks everywhere, Kronos claiming the blame throungth world communicator as he struggled to fight them off. Shortly after his complains his death was announced, killed my the pigmen.

They all couldn't help but laugh, he asked for it after all. That when Jordan made the mental note to never attack the waking pigs...

"Well common guys we don't want to die at night. Get it, Dianite, die at night. Sorry I couldn't help myself..." Jordan said laughing at her own joke before another fireball almost took her head off.

After making a stable-ish bridge they all carefully made their way down until mid way when Jordan realized something very important.

"Do you guys have important things on you, because of so we need to leave them behind. We don't know how dangerous this might be and Tucker, you have the blade of trust Miante gave you.." she said

Truth be told she was very worried about that. After the drama with the shadows, Dianite had given Tom the bow and Miante had given Tucker the sword, both of which could destroy a god. While that would be helpful to kill Dinate, this instance was not the best. They weren't ready to take him on, so keeping that sword safe was a priority.

"Nah I left it at home. And today is the purge, none of us have important items, most of them aren't even ours right?" Tucker said

"True. Then let's go, we're almost there...oh my god! What is that?!" Jordan as she almost lost her balance.

There was a giant sleeping dragon on the left side of the castle's island...a dragon.

Clearly dragons weren't that common here either because all of them looked shocked. If that thing woke up, they would be in serious trouble. Their wooden swords wouldn't do much against that big dragon...

When they reched the other side they were feet away from the entrance. Then Tom's death was announced, at the hands of the priest! Clearly he was helping them out by keeping Tom away. Sometimes the priest was just the best.

Tucker and Sonja stopped to get ready but Jordan couldn't wait any longer and ran towards the entrance. The more she though about it, the more scared she would be, so she just went for it and ran inside.

The place was even bigger than she had imagined, full with long halls and huge columns. To her right she saw a sing that said 'Leap of Faith (Potions Adviced)' followed by floating stones leading upwards to the ceiling.

That amazed Tucker the most when he came in, he even bagan to try to make it to the top not carrying about anything else.

Meanwhile, her and Sonja continued exploring. The place was huge and had very little furnishing, it looked as if no one lived there. When Jordan turned the next corner though she found a giant dinning table with equally sized chairs. There was also a sign that read 'Table of Justice'. Confused on why this was a thing she just shrugged it off and made her way to the end of the castle to look at the prayer setup that was sure to be there.

When she ran around a pillar just before reaching her destination she found Dianite standing above the entrance to the prayer room. He stared at her with a smile before using the world communicator to convey his surprise.

"Well this is unexpected. Foreign people in my temple." He said with a smile, a deadly smile.

Oh no....
