Days seemed to pass by since my return, most seemed thrilled about my return aside from Herobrine who had only grown more distant and angry. Sighing I made my way through my kingdom proud of what my people had gotten done in my absence, for the most part I had begun to heal rather nicely and was almost at my full strength again thanks to Arkan who had begun using his newly learned magic to speed up the process. The sound of giggling caught my attention as I rounded a corner to see Alari and Arkan playing about, despite being only a year older then Alari he seemed to be almost the height of a full grown Endermen and almost as mature as one. Smiling slightly I continued on my walk, it was fleeting these few quiet moments I had since returning had brought back my old dutiful life. Heading to my castle I climbed the stairs wishing things could just be the way they once were, with a sigh I reached the top and leant against the railings of the balcony. A sudden feeling of being watched caused me to turn, in a way I felt afraid whenever I looked into those angry white eyes but I never allowed myself to show it.

"I can never quite understand why you are being this way Herobrine," I mumbled never taking my eyes off him, from his silence I knew something was extremely off.

"You abandoned us! Do you really expect me to be overjoyed by yours return after you vanished without a second thought!?" He snarled his anger finally spilling out, wincing at his words I looked down.

"I had no choice, if you were in my position you would..." I began but looking up I fell silent, every word that came from my mouth only angered him further.

"If I were in your position I never would have left, better yet I never would have returned," he growled, to my horror he pulled his sword from his back all while staring into my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I questioned fear clawing its way through my mind, with a twirl of his blade he took a step forwards.

"Getting rid of my problems," he stated his tone cold and filled with hate, before I could properly react he launched himself at me grabbing me by my throat and sending us both plumeting towards the ground. With a thunderous crash I was forced into the ground, throwing him backwards I stood holding my chest which seemed to be in pain the most. I knew there was no use talking to him and so I narrowed my eyes allowing my own anger to build up inside, most had come out of their houses to see what was going on but none dared come close to us. Summoning my sword I forced myself not to try and reason with him, when he launched himself again I braced myself using my sword to block his as he lashed out in an attempt to cut me open. Tensing my muscles I launched into the air making him follow after me, if I could help it I would not let my people get caught in the crossfire. Shooting forwards we clashed again and again trying to make the other falter and tire, teleporting behind him I managed to hit him forwards making him crash into the ground sending dirt and rocks flying everywhere. Hovering slowly down I allowed my feet to touch the ground, his lack of movement had me worried until he suddenly lurched up from the ground shooting towards me. Lifting my arms I was unaware of my sword still under my control and a sickening ripping sound came from where Herobrine had been coming from, lowering my arms I felt my blood run cold as I noticed the sword had gone straight through his heart. Despite my anger I raced to his side regretting doing what I had just done, kneeling beside him I was about to rest my hand on his face when he suddenly grabbed ahold of it his angry white eyes locked with mine as they slowly began to lose that light that had been inside of him for oh so long. When he fell still I stood looking down at him with narrowed eyes, many had gathered around by now and all stood in silence awaiting my next move.

"What happened your highness?" Arkan questioned as he cautiously came closer, with a huff I pulled my sword from Herobrine's chest before turning to everyone else.

"Herobrine has betrayed us all, his motives are unknown to me but I assure you all right now that with his death comes the end of my blindness, for far too long so many have wronged me and now, no mercy shall ever be shown, any who betray me lose their lives, any who stand against me won't live to see another day, any who doubt shall be shown why no doubt should be shown, today, we stand as a proud people!" I roared my hand held firmly in the air, with calls of agreement I listened to their chants and cries of pride. No harm would befall them ever again if I could help it, and no one would ever be given that side of my heart ever again.
