The Cursed Emerald Part 5

The cursed emerald won’t stop tormenting its owner - every time they try to reach the Nether and destroy it, the gem teleports them somewhere else entirely. Now Jake has been frozen to stone twice, the curse is growing stronger, and twelve clever plans have already crumbled. Can they brew a potion powerful enough to finally hurl the gem through the portal - before the Consumed claim one more victim? A decodable reader at Level 85, practising words like “stumbled,” “chattered,” “shovelling,” and “announced.”
