The Black Hood chuckled ironically at the thought. Here he was, glad that Stan would be able to use his great powers to protect Elementia . . . when he himself could just as easily do the same thing. And yet, the Black Hood knew that this was a foolish thing to think. By speaking to Stan, and helping him attain his own operating powers, the Black Hood had nailed his own coffin firmly shut. In fact, he was absolutely astounded that he had participated in the battle itself and was still alive at all.
The Black Hood knew that he was dying, however. From the moment he had spoken to Stan, he had felt his energy dimming. When Stan had struck him with his sword, the Black Hood had been totally drained of all power, just barely hanging on to enough consciousness to tell Stan that Lord Tenebris had been defeated for good. Since then, the Black Hood had been biding his energy, and not until now had he managed to take physical form.
The Black Hood heard a roll of thunder crash over the desert. He glanced off and saw sheets of rain bombarding the distant jungle. To any players in the vicinity, including Stan, it would appear to be just another thunderstorm. But the Black Hood knew better. He felt a shift in the energy of the server there, a presence that he hadn't felt in months, since the day that he had first entered Elementia and
attempted to use his powers.
The Voice in the Sky had returned.
The Black Hood stood perfectly still on the crest of the hill, his eyes closed. He had helped Stan to defeat Lord Tenebris and save Elementia, along with all other Minecraft servers. He had brought Rex into the woods, removed his collar, and returned him to the family of wolves from whom he had been separated months before. And now, as a last order of business, the Black Hood had seen Stan, building and hunting in a way that he still, to this day, found most fascinating. Now that he had seen it for one last time, all was done. There was nothing left for the Black Hood to do in Elementia . . . or in Minecraft.
YOU HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE AFFAIRS OF PLAYERS FOR THE LAST TIME,
the Voice rang out in the Black Hood's mind as another thunderclap sounded overhead.
NOW, AS PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR TAMPERING, YOU SHALL DIE.
“I accept my punishment,” the Black Hood replied aloud.
Another roll of thunder, and the Black Hood felt himself begin to fade. His very existence started to thin out, like threads being pulled one by one from a tapestry.
I may be leaving this world,
the Black Hood thought peacefully to himself, as his ability to think began to fade as well,
but at least Minecraft, a game of such wonder and promise that had never been seen in the world before, lives
on . . . and will live on forever, as long there are others who are willing to build.
And with that final thought, the Black Hood ceased to exist, never to return to Minecraft again.
THE END

As the Elementia Chronicles trilogy draws to a close, I find it more bittersweet than anything else. Over the course of writing the series, I truly feel as if Stan, Kat, Charlie, and their friends have become a part of who I am, and it saddens me to see them go. Writing the Elementia Chronicles has been the greatest experience of my life, and there are several people who have helped me to share my story with the world.
I would like to thank the South Kingstown High School Drama Club of 2014â15. It truly was thanks to you guys that high school was not just tolerable, but amazing.
I would like to thank Lindsey Karl, Matt Schweitzer, and Julie Eckstein, my team of promoters at HarperCollins who helped me to get the Elementia Chronicles out into the world.
I would like to thank Pam Bobowicz, my editor, for helping me transform my rough drafts into full-fledged novels.
I would like to thank my brother Eric, who always knows what to say to keep me humble.
I would like to thank my brother Casey, the first megafan of the Elementia Chronicles and the one who convinced me to share my story.
I would like to thank Rick Richter, my agent from Zachary Shuster Harmsworth, for helping me join HarperCollins and for always offering up his expertise and wisdom.
I would like to thank my grandmother, who is not only probably the biggest fan of the Elementia Chronicles, but has also supported me in everything that I do, from writing to beyond.
I would like to thank my dad for being a one-man tech-support team and helping the Elementia Chronicles break into the digital world.
I would like to thank my mom for devoting countless hours to promoting and beta-reading the Elementia Chronicles, and for doing everything in her power and more to help me find success with my work.
And last but not least, I would like to thank all my fans, from those who read
Quest for Justice
when it was first self-published to everybody else. It's your praise, criticism, and support that inspires me to share my stories, and the Elementia Chronicles would not be where it is today without you.
