Book 1: Chapter Nine

**This page is part of the storyline.**Do not edit it in any way.

Zeko stared down at the massive pile of tomes, wands, and robes. Iluz had certainly packed some extra items for himself. There was just about enough to get new robes for all the wizards in their party. Everyone sifted through the items, some sneaking items into their inventory. They separated everything down into major categories. Once they had finished, there was one item left in the grass. It was an envelope stamped with a black square, showing the crying star on top of the cube. They opened it to reveal a letter. The letter read:

*There are ten descendants roaming the land. These are no ordinary descendants, however - these are ones who are chosen by the second chapter of the prophecy. Destroy them, and you have succeeded the mission. Because this letter contains a quest, you will know them when you see them. Destroy them is all you have to do. Any other non-chosen descendants can also be eliminated. -Null, deputy of the Eyeless One's army.* The moment they finished reading it, a quest screen appeared.

                    Find them

Find the rest of the *chosen* descendants.

     Chosen descendants found: 8/10

                  Orchestrator:

                    Yourselves

                    Reward:

                      N/A

He saw Ayla do a quick head count.

“The quest says 8/10 chosen descendants have been found. The thing is, there are nine of us.”

“So someone here isn’t all they’ve cracked up to be.” WolfyKid growled.

“I think that whoever it is knows exactly who they are,” Zeko added. Alya shot a quick glare at Sound, but then it looked like she thought better of it.

“Not me.” he said.

“Same” added Aghast.

“Definitely not me” Zeko added.

“I think we’ll find this out eventually. Even if they aren’t a descendant, they certainly don’t plan on hurting us” Wulf said.

“Those are famous last words.” Formula murmured in Zeko’s ear.

He chuckled, and then noticed a tiny piece of parchment left in the grass. He picked it up. It was so small, it looked like an item in a mini chest that had never popped back into a normal size after being taken. He squinted down at the paper. It showed a map, but it looked as if a three-year-old had attempted to draw Eohune. It was not labeled, other than a small red dot, and it was all messed up. It barely looked like Ardenvell at all.

“Come check this out!” he yelled, and everyone rushed over to look at the tiny map.

“That’s not Ardenvell...” Alya said in puzzlement.

“What was it that you had said?” Doge said, looking at Sound. “Something about how there could quite possibly be another continent?”

“I think I did…”

This blew Zeko away. He had learned several things in the last five minutes.

1. Iluz was a servant of Null, who was second in command of Herobrine’s army
2. They were all ‘chosen descendants’, who played major roles in the second chapter of the prophecy, and they had to find the missing two.
3. One person here was *not* a "chosen descendant’".
4. There was another continent.
5. Someone planned on going there.

*What a day,* Zeko thought. And they all set back out. Straight towards the horizon.

Author’s note:

I loved writing this story, watching you all react, and basically build a small community around this little 9 chapter series. This was simply the best reaction I’ve ever had to my writing. You all gave me a real boost of confidence. Everyone who helped me out. Infra, Timekeeper, Fiery, flameburst, Lord of Pixels, Enderguy, Aghast, Stevie, RandomUser, and most of all: Formula. You guys have helped me so much. I’ve been wanting some way to unofficially publish my work. Ok. Sorry. I’m getting sappy. The reason being: I’m saying goodbye. This may or may not be my last book. I had some problems occur, and I have to leave. Although I’m mostly saying goodbye right now, as I will not see you very much after this, but you will absolutely never see me again after May 21st. This is ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with ANY of you. It’s just some personal stuff making me incapable of coming to either of the wikis I am a part of. As for the books that I told you I would be making, they will most certainly be made, but they may not show up here. I have no idea when I posted my first chapter, but it all went by pretty fast, so I may be able to give you the books in time. Another reason I’m leaving being: the pressure. I can absolutely write it, and this isn’t the fault of anyone who was asking for the next chapter or answer, it was the fact that I’m pretty busy, so when I have the time to write, I have to rush. Some of the stuff I sent out wasn't even revised. If I want to become a pro writer, I need to start off with less pressure. This is only like the 2nd major committed book I’ve written. I have another series that is somewhere else, and I’ll stick with one for now. Not that I prefer that, It’s just that I will soon be unable to get these books to you. Please don’t bother asking why. I’m not gonna tell you. It is personal. Anyways, I’m gonna miss you all. I’ll miss the awesome CK community, as well as my own little one. But: no matter what happens, 3 things will stay true.

1. I’ll never forget this past month
2. I’ll never stop writing
3. I’ll always be a cube kid fan

Good luck.

Special note for Formula:

All of the stuff up there applies to you too. I am so sorry I have to leave. I absolutely would stay if I could. Thank you for being my awesome friend. I am so glad to have met you. If it’s not too much, I’m gonna send you all my secret book plans & secrets & scrapped ideas, so you could maybe try to pick up writing, or at least complete the wiki. I have had so many good times. I would love it to maybe see you at least give a shot at writing, but you totally don’t have to do. That’s where project: legacy comes in

PROJECT: LEGACY

[project legacy officially begins after May 21, 2021]

Because I know you hunger for that LITRPG, I wish to leave my writing in your hands. Anyone willing to become the next Aetheria: heroes author can simply step up, and do it. I would love to see even multiple aspiring writers appear. This would give all the CK fans more books. Although I don’t want an Aetheria offline character, I’d love to give you guys a chance. Anyways. If too many people pop up, then the admins on the wiki, like formula, or anyone he chooses to promote, can choose what is canon for the series or not. I may be able to see you every now and then, but I won’t be able to text 100%.

Final note:

Yes. Formula is now in charge after I’m gone

Yes. You MIGHT get a few books between now and may.

In the wise words of Leo: baiwoo!
