Day 58 – Captive

When we materialized in the Ender King’s war room, I saw Emma pacing back and forth, a worried expression on her face. Our bodies blocked the torch light in the war room and Emma, noticing our shadows, looked in our direction. She saw me and rushed to me and gave me a strong hug. “Jimmy, I thought maybe you were … hurrr … finally dead.”

“Finally?” I said.

Emma turned red with embarrassment. “No, not like that. Not like, whew, finally he is dead. I meant, maybe this was the time your luck would run out.”

I hugged her back and laughed. “You should know by now that no one can kill Jimmy Slade. And even when they do kill me, I just get resurrected.”

She pushed away from me and slapped me on the arm. “When you got possessed by the Noble Dark One ... it was so scary and unexpected.”

“Yes,” said Princess Tina. “We were so worried!”

“You’re telling me. Even so, this time it was pretty awesome, not gonna lie. Look,” I said, pointing at our captive.

The Ender King was already standing next to Red Steve grabbing his shoulder and shaking him. “What are you and the other Steves looking for? Tell me now … or face a more severe interrogation.”

“I’ll never tell you,” yelled Red Steve as he pulled on his rainbow-colored shackles to no avail.

“Ender King, we may not have to interrogate him. At least not for all the information,” said Emma.

“What do you mean?” asked the King.

Red Steve looked at Emma with a hint of fear in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows. “Yes, little girl, what do you mean?”

“Jimmy, this was what I was trying to tell you before you were possessed by the Noble Dark One. Even though we haven’t finished deciphering that book in cuneiform, we did stumble upon one very fascinating item referenced multiple times in the book.”

I could see the look in Red Steve’s eyes become increasingly fearful.

“What is it?” I asked.

“There’s some sort of altar referenced in the book. It is constructed from obsidian and gold. It is called the altar of destiny in the book.”

“No! It can’t be! How?” said Red Steve.

“Easy. Emma is smart and works very hard,” said Tina.

“Nice job, Steve, attempting to pretend Emma’s discovery was meaningless,” said Derek the destroyer enderman sarcastically. He, along with Hendrick, was now standing on either side of Red Steve.

Emma continued. “It’s a strange object. Based on the small amount of text we have deciphered, it seems like Lamashtu and her forces use it in conjunction with spreading death and destruction. I haven’t yet been able to figure out exactly how they use it.”

“And you think that’s what the Steves have been looking for, right?” I asked Emma while I looked directly in Red Steve’s eyes. I knew the answer was “yes” by his expression.

Emma nodded her head. “It seems reasonable to assume. I mean, something that powerful would be an object that an evil demon like Lamashtu would want. And, if all the Steves are her servants, it stands to reason they would be searching for it.
