Jill has a plan. 'I must go to the Nether,' she tells the Mage. He grins with joy. 'Join me! I know it well!'
Doc, her pal, beams at Jill. 'The Nether has beasts that stomp on hot lava!' he tells her. She blinks. 'That sounds bad.'
'Big beasts toil on the lava,' the Mage says. 'Jump on and ride! Do not spoil the fun.' Jill gapes. 'Ride on lava?'
Jill grins. 'No lava ride! The best choice is a path!' Doc nods. 'Yes! I will join in and help!'
The Mage stands tall by his home. He grins with joy. At last, he will not be on his own!
Down in the cave, Jill tips her bucket on the lava. It boils with a loud hiss, and dark rock forms fast!
That night, the Mage can not sleep. He lies in bed with a big grin. He thinks of the joys in the Nether!
The Mage points his staff up high. The gate blazes to life with coils of light. Then they join hands and step in.
