Nekrikos 5: The Discovery

<<PREVIOUS
<<FIRST
We entered the dusty old castle. It was in ruins and looks like it was never maintained for at least a few centuries. Multiple bricks had fallen off the walls, exposing light from the outside. Wooden chairs were rotten and discoloured, and paintings on the wall were dusty and unrecognizable.
"This dusty old castle is where we can find the gems. But we have to be quick. And the gem is not easy to find."
We followed on, walking on the red carpet that was caked with a thick layer of dirt.
"It was said that long time ago, these magical gems were protected in this castle. However, the gems have been stolen and returned so many times, and now, it seems like a matter that only few would talk about." Entity 303 sighed as he used his scythe to knock over some of the fallen bricks.
"I've read about this castle. There is a secret safe somewhere, and with a peculiar number combination. We have 2 shots at this. If we can't get it, its our end. Let's move, find some clues."
The two of us, me and Dallas split apart to find the clues. The castle felt like a massive theatre, only abandoned and dilapidated. I occassionally stumbled over fallen stones and cut myself. Some of the clues that were scratched into the walls were scuffed away, and the words were barely readable. After what seemed like 2 hours of finding every single clue to the numbers, we met at the back, where Entity 303 was incoherently muttering something.
"We have the clues."
No response from him. Only more muttering.
"303....?" I asked.
"Sorry, didn't catch you there. I know that there is a secret compartment of this castle that holds the safe to the gems. I'm trying to unlock it with some spell I've learnt."
He went back to muttering. It went on for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, 303 stopped muttering. He walked to some ground near the wall, and he placed his hand there.
"Open."
A deafening cracking sound was heard as part of the ground slid open to reveal a set of stairs.
"Follow me. Quick." Entity 303 called out to us as we both sprinted down the stairs. There was a short corridor, before it leaded into a small stone room. The safe was there.
"Input the number." 
I went up to it. Looking at all the clues, it was a 7 digit number.
"9......4.....2.....6.....3.....1....." I inputed the first 6 numbers.
"What was the last number again? You have the clue right?" I called out.
"Yup, its 13, for sure." I inputted that in. Sure enough, the lock clicked open. 
I opened the chest to be greeted with a blinding light. There, were the gems we were seeking for. Red, Yellow and Blue gems, to be exact. I snatched them and stuffed them into my bag.
"Let's go guys. I set up a small secret base in the forest and I think we can move there." He explained. As we reached the gorge, the bridge now gone, he grabbed us and teleported us to the other side.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah fuck. You're SERIOUS??!!" Nekrikos angrily slapped his servant.
"You're telling me I gave you that damn knife, which resulted in the death of almost the entire team, and yet that grey-hooded shithead and those two guys still got the gems??!!" He bellowed.
"Y.....yes. I tracked his movements, he doesn't seem to be stopping." The servant replied.
"Very well then, get out my brainwashed army. Send them to go after the group."
"Yes sir."
"Good......good...."
"Just you wait Entity 303. You might have escaped me, but that doesn't mean you will survive to tell the story. I will get hold of those gems, and I will take over Minecraft for myself."
"JUST YOU WAIT."

Phoenix's POV
"I swear, how long have we been travelling for? It has been 2 hours since the start and I've not seen anything." I grumbled. 
Dallas and 303 trudged to the side. We had just exited the desert and now were in the middle of a forest.
"We'll take a rest here for a short while." Entity 303 pointed to a rather empty patch of grass that was right smack in the middle of the rather thick forest, sticking out like a sore thumb.
I sat down and popped open my water bottle that I had in my bag. It was still good. I took a swig.
"Hopefully we can get back to our place in time." I heaved. The sun was overhead and it was beating down on us like a dryer on clothes.
"We're good for now," Entity 303 smiled. 
How ironic, as soon as he said that, there was a huge rumbling noise.
"What the fuck?!" Dallas shouted. "What's that??"
"Wait. Oh shit.......SHIT, WE NEED TO LEAVE!" Entity 303.
"But why-"
Suddenly, from the trees appeared multiple grey coloured people with spears and red swords.
"I knew this shit would happen." Entity 303 sighed.
One of them walked up to me. He pointed at my bag, while holding the red sword close to my throat.
"I AM A MEMBER OF NEKRIKOS' ARMY. HAND OVER THE GEMS OR PERISH. YOUR GEMS OR YOUR LIFE. YOU CHOOSE." he said in a monotone voice that still gave me the chills. I stayed silent.
"Well, how about you fuck off? Get the fuck away from my friends." Entity 303 snapped. He leaped and kicked the fighter away.
"FIGHTERS FOR NEKRIKOS, ATTACK. ATTACK." That fighter screamed as they started charging towards us.
"Oh shit! SHIT!" I freaked out
"Don't freak out. Remember what I told you. The chest." Dallas told me.
He was right. I had a strong bow with me. Why did I have to worry? I equipped my bow and arrows and aimed at one of them who was charging at me.
"At the chest." I murmurred. And released the bow. The arrow went straight for his chest......
Only for it to bounce off, unharmed.
"WHAT?!" I screamed.
He then brought his sword down on me. I rolled aside. Somehow I was near a tree, so his sword ended up slicing the tree and getting stuck in it. Then, I heard a stab sound, and saw a scythe go through his chest, before he dissolved into grey particles.
"Don't kill yourself." Entity 303 told me. Wow, he had a different personality right now. Much different from the one where he was the villain in stories.
Just then, one of the fighters tried to pounce on me and vigorously tear my bag away from me.
'GET AWAY! MY BAG!" I yelled for help. But Entity 303 was gone, he was killing the other fighters, as I saw him doing so in my peripheral vision. He was doing it fast. Dallas, using his enchanted power bow, had managed to kill off some of the fighters as well.
"HAND OVER THE GEMS, OR BE KILLED." The fighter said in his monotone voice.
"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" I kicked him. He fell to the ground, before regaining his position and forcing me against a tree., before stealing my bag, and running away.
"He's got the gems! Kill him!" I screamed.
Entity 303 launched a fireball at him, and then Dallas shot an enchanted arrow right at his knee, causing him to fall down. But he didnt disintegrate. Without looking back, he dropped the bag and just ran away.
"Damn, that was close." I heaved a sigh of relief.
I picked up the bag. Dallas, Entity 303 and I all rested for a while, before we made our way back.
4 hours later........
Diary Entry:
We managed to reach back home safely. Our base is still safe and sound! Today was a really crazy day. I managed to get the gems. I'm too tired to check the gems right now. Maybe Dallas or 303 will do so.
