Steve was highly curious of this new male who had been forced to drink what Herobrine said was his soul.

So when Impact just sat outside on a ledge he made for himself, Steve walked up beside him and sat down also.

"Impact, right?" Steve asked.

That got the blonds attention, smiling brightly. "Yes I am! It's a pleasure to see you here." The male said softly.

"Thanks. But, I'd like to know some things about you." Steve said.

"Backstory?" Impact asked before getting a nod. "Well, there isn't much. I actually was just a constant shadow, and from what I remember there was a sudden light. I wasn't destroyed, but i started growing a conscience. Next thing I know I'm a part of this dark realm; unable to have my own physical body without taking or being allowed to have one. But even then, they only last for so long before they combust." The male said and sighed. "This ones time should be up soon, and then I will need to grab another body."

"Are you alone?" Steve asked.

"What? No! I'm never alone. I made what I call an eternal friend. A spirit who resides in the neather. His name is Lance. He's quite the flirt, but he makes me feel something; and it makes me feel more alive." Impact said dreamily. "And then there is Kristy. She's my best friend. Not only is she a Blaze, but she is half human and is always having an adventure."

"Your friends sound nice." Steve smiled.

"They can be." Impact sighed. "So, I can sense you and Herobrine have gotten close." Impact smirked.

"And, if I am?" Steve asked and crossed his arms.

"It's just, expected."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You two have always been attracted to each other. Even when Herobrine was mad he couldn't bring himself to hurt you. And when you can't remember him, you would treat him like any other human. It's what everyone wishes they had. Love." Impact said and then chuckled. "It's ironic how you two always get together."

"You know?" Steve asked curiously.

"I can see your memories, and I can feel What others feel. Like a shadow I can mimic others. It's a peace of my abilities. But those that are locked are just fuzzy for me. And you have plenty with Hero and Brian." Impact said as his eyes glossed over before returning.

Steve looked out to the lava, Impact doing the same.

"Hey, promise me this." Impact said and Steve looked at him. "I know Herobrine, and so do you. He's stubborn. But even if he convinces you or ties you up, fight to protect him. Because figuring what we're going up against, he will bleed. Even a god like him can bleed." The male said before slipping off and landing on a smaller ghast and flying away.

Impact pet the creature and it took him where he wanted to go.
He smiled as he saw who he wanted to see in the distance. A tall masculine male creature who was a literal giant.

This body was possessed by none other than his lance.

He jumped off and closed his eyes, and as he expected he was caught. When his eyes opened he saw the giant golem looking down at him with a look of surprise before it sat down and held Impact in his arms before closing his eyes and a ghost slipped out of its chest. The ghost was outlined in a shimmer with a gold color, much like glow stone he lightly lit the dark area. You could see the fine carvings and decorations of images from when he was a part of the overworld, when it was still vanilla.

Some stick people holding out swords with a large blocky man chasing down some mobs.

You could another image through the ghosts body, where the giant block man was protecting a stick man with a crown. Protecting royalty.

Impact reached out his arms, the ghost floating and landing over him as his form became more solid. They hugged, the ghost taking in the warmth of Impacts now live body.

"I've missed you so much." The ghost Impact called lance spoke, it's voice echoing lightly. "But why did you wait so god damn long." The ghost said and his color brightened with anger, even getting a red hue to its center.

"I'm sorry." Impact said softly.

"No your not! You wanted to be gone for this long! There is no way for me to go anywhere but here, I'm sealed to this body and you can just bounce from one to the next." The ghost growled before backing off and facing away from Impact. "Also, you should probably know Kristy is dead. Not like you were here to mourn."

"What! She can't be." Impact said as he stood.

"She was forced to the front lines since you couldn't protect her. And some human killed her!" The ghost said and his entire aura became red and his sparkle outline became a wall of fire. He turned around in a snap with the most pissed face he could ever make and yelled. "you don't even realize how long it has been! The bridge collapsed and now I can't travel. No one but you remembers me, and I can only listen to the whispers of the souls of the monsters who passed around here. And guess what! They are jerks just like you." The ghost barked and snapped, getting closer before finally shoving the body in front of him.
"YOU SHOULD JUST LEAVE! Leave and let me alone so I can just disappear already! Forget me!" The ghost yelled, and if he could cry he would be. But in the end he collapsed and fell onto the Giant Golems hand; breathing heavily as his form twitched and glitched in a since where chunks would disappear and re appear as pain ran through his celestial body.

Impact let his black goo of tears rain from his eyes as he pulled the ghost up and made sure he didn't skip off before throwing him into the body, the ghost slipping into it easily.

Before Lance could return Impact got up and jumped off of the golem and ran for the clif, whistling and jumping off, at last second a ghast caught him and started to fly off.

He would let Keith calm down before he tried to talk with him any longer.
