"I was always told to stay away from them, those who possessed great powers to defeat herobrine himself. While I thought it was wonderful, everyone else hid in fear of Death itself..."

"...so is that what it was...?" I asked slightly nervous of what Ty had been saying. We were currently walking through the dark forest, it had been hours since the "incident" and we had finally calmed down. "Yeah I think so, it was a myth my mom told me when i was...like ten?" Ty explained further.
I nodded while playing around with my amulet. "You know, I think I might have known about the myth...how does it go again..?" I asked as I paused, then Ty spoke up. "I think it was something like ten people would be chosen when herobrine came to destroy the world or whatever. What surprises me is that you might be the yellow lion of bravery..." Ty said softly as the wind blew slightly.
"Yeah...it's still hard to believe, but I guess there's no going back..." I sighed and watched as dull gray leaves were picked up and carried up towards the heavens by the wind. "Do you think Jason is okay?" Ty suddenly asked, making my blood run cold.
The truth is, since the war...no one has seen our friend Jason at all, it was like he completely vanished from the surface of the earth...never to be seen again. "...I bet he's fine, he may look weak but i bet he's fighting his own battles somewhere." I said as we continued walking in an awkward silence.
There was many things to talk about and discuss, but what we just went through, no one could blame us for being quiet. I glanced over at Ty every now and then to see if he was fine, it was shocking to see him look as he always did. I hoped that he was alright and wasn't hurting on the inside.
I was shut out of my thoughts when ty suddenly stopped walking, it took a moment to realize at first but Ty was shivering. "Ty...? Are you okay?" I asked and walked over to him, reaching my hand out but it was pushed away almost instantly.
"Ty..." I wanted to help him but something was off...something was really off. Was he hurt...I didn't see any wounds on him. Or maybe he was mentally hurt...? It would be possible I wouldn't blame him at all. "Ty, what's wrong?"
I waited for an answer but Ty just stood there, "S-Sky...I can't..." He whispered, his voice sounded weak? "Can't what? What do you mean?" I questioned and walked towards him. "I can't d-do it! I don't want to be here anymore!" Ty shouted suddenly, "the truth is...he died because of me and I can't stand the guilt of it!" Ty said and covered his face with his hands.
I stood there a is paralyzed, was he talking about Jason..? Who else could it be, "what do you mean? I thought you said that you didn't know where he was when the war started?" I said curiously.
Ty shook his head, "n-no the truth I-Is-"

(This flashback will be in Ty's Pov, then it will be back in skys once it's over)

I covered my mouth as a cloud of smoke surrounded me, my vision clouded as I tried to find my way out. Tears streamed down my face as the screams of the villagers surrounded me. I prayed to notch that I wouldn't be found.
I quickly spotted an open window, without thinking I ran towards it and was about to jump out but a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me back. "Ty! What are you doing we're on te goth floor! Jumping would be suicide!" Jason whispered harshly due to the less amount of air left in the building.
"But w-what about sky?! We ran and left him behind! What if he's dead!?" I cried as I tried to escape Jason's grasp. "Look ty, there's another way out on the lower floors, sky will be fine he's strong." Jason explained and tried to pull me with him but I resisted.
"No! I want to find him now! He's like a brother! I don't want him dead!" I pulled back a little but he still wouldn't let go. Did he really want sky to die? Jason looked at me sternly, "Ty, please listen we're wasting time if you'd just-" I quickly kicked him back as he was about of pull me with him again.
Jason's eyes widened for a split second as he fell back, the force of me pulling away made me fall back against the wall while the floor boards under our feet started to crack until it finally collapsed. I watched in horror as Jason fell down with it, my whole body shook as I tried to crawl to see if he was alright.
My legs just barley moved to the spot where Jason had been pushed, which probably caused the weak floor to fall. I peered over the edge, trying not to fall. "Jason!?" I called out but once my eyes adjusted I was paralyzed.
Jason was trapped under the rubbish, his body was tangled with the broken glass and wood, his clothes where stained with blood as his once ocean blue eyes were now a dull navy blue color.
By now I couldn't stop the amount of tears that fell down my face, "j-Jason..." Why didn't I trust him? Did I kill him..."n-no....n-no.....n-no....I-I killed Him...j-Jason..." The floor under me started to crack, but i didn't want to move, I wanted to join him; sky was already there right?
My eyes slowly closed as I felt the floor under me begin to fall, but something caught me. My eyes slowly opened to find myself outside, I glanced around confused, was I dead?
I gasped as I noticed that I was right outside the house that I had just been in, it was fully destroyed. My heart ached once I remembered Jason's pain filled face and dull eyes. Why didn't I trust him...? Why didn't I trust him? Those words kept repeating, but I wanted them to stop.
"Stop....stop....s-stop...STOP!" I screamed, a flash of green surrounded the floor under me as I watched a green tiger kill many innocent people around me. Was this my doing, I don't know why but I smiled as all the people around me ended up wth the same fate as Jason did, now they know how I felt.
Jason....I'm sorry....that I didn't trust you....!

I stood there shocked while Ty starred at the ground, his hands shook as he covered his face while more tears ran down his face. "Ty...it's alright, it was herobrines fault that all this happened not yours." I spoke softly while I pulled him into a small hug.
Why was this happening to us? I felt my anger towards herobrine grow, he ruined everyone's lives, not like he cared anyway. That's when I made up my mind to walk along the path that the myth stated, I will find the other colors and destroy herobrine once and for all!
