Description
It was mothers day in the land of tektopia and all but three of the inhabitants of the advanced area had forgotten about the significance of the day. For those of whom didn't know about it being mothers day, they continued on with there work, just like on any other day. Our story starts with one of the few who remember mothers day;

The first of the three to remember the importance of the day was Toby, who lived in the 'Little-woods' with his best friend, Inthelittlewood or Littlewood for short. Of course Littlewood was the second to know about mothers day because, Toby had decided to return to his village for the week to see his parents. The third and final person to remember mothers day was the most unlikely inhabitant of the area, the endermage Rythian.

Said mage was researching about the new magic that had been created when Zoey, his apprentice, had accidentally detonated the nuke that Lalna had put under there old base and home, blackrock. Unfortunately, he was unable to concentrate with the heat of the desert and because he couldn't help but miss his mother. It had been years since he had seen her on good terms.

A loud bang above his head brought him back to reality. Teep, his sharp shooting dinosaur friend, had shot a mob that had gotten too close to their little desert base. Rythian sighed. He was too tense today. He knew that there would be a surplus of endermen tonight; his mother would most likely be looking for him.

Before the mage could return to researching magic, he heard a voice behind him. “Hey, Rythian.” Rythian turned around to see his apprentice Zoey standing a few yards away from him. “Whatcha doing?” She leaned slightly towards him, trying to see over his shoulder at his researching table which was covered in blocks of many different materials ranging from dirt to obsidian.

“I'm trying to see what new fangled magic was made when the nuke blew up under Blackrock.” Rythian spoke in a calm and levelled voice. He new that the subject was still painful for the two to talk about and the second he said “nuke” he saw Zoey straighten up and gently touch her right arm. Well, if she could touch her REAL right arm then she would of but, it had to be amputated. Even with the whole “Respawn” cycle, when the nuke killed her, Zoey's arm had been so badly wounded that, even when she did respawn, her arm hadn't healed. It had taken almost all of Rythian's magical ability’s to keep her alive. Then, it took about a day for Zoey to weld a new mechanical arm on and that had been a painful experience for the both of them.

Rythian coughed and quickly changed the subject. “Zoey, did you know that it's mothers day today?” Thankfully the diversion had worked and the colour returned to Zoey's face as she raised her left hand over her mouth and gasped.

“It is?” She half yelled. “Why am I always so bad at remembering things like this? I need to send my mum a card straight away!” She hurried off to her own tent, mumbling to herself as she went, most likely thinking out loud about what her card would say and what not. Rythian couldn’t help but smile.

The mage heard a grunt above him and looked up to see Teep staring at him. He was leaning on the butt of his sniper rifle, a smug look on his reptilian face. “ I guess you can't really do anything for mothers day, can you Tee?” The dinosaur gave the slightest of nods. “Maybe you could give Lalna something for Fathers day.” Teep snorted at that remark, picked up his rifle and walked down the wall towards his watch tower.

As Rythian turned back to his research table, thoughts of his mother sneaked back into his head. No matter how much he wanted to see her again he knew that if he returned to the End then, his mother wouldn't let him come back to the normal world. He would never see Zoey or Teep again, let alone sunlight, plants and animals. Rythian sighed. He couldn't help but think about how his life would have been different if he had been born like a normal human being. Sometimes he'd even think about what it would have been like to have been to have a normal enderman father and human mother, but no. He just had to have been the son of the ender dragon, the ruler of the End.
