Ivor stood there dumbfounded as Jess' minions were as well. As Death pulled away from Jess, she gently grabbed her by the hand, and took her to her throne.

"Feel free to look around!" Death said cheerfully. "Help yourself to the snacks!"

"But the only place to look around is this platform!" Ivor shouted, pointing out the obvious. "And I don't see any snacks!"

It was then a large 'hand' descended from the ceiling, if a hand was made out of hundreds of bones, redstone, and pistons. It lowered down a large tray of various foods... that no one in their right mind would eat.

There are large glasses of freshly squeezed endermen. There are trays of fried creeper hearts. There dozens of bowls of slime soup. Then there are the ocelot steaks... and human beef jerky.

"Well, I suppose I could try something... except the human jerky of course." He said to himself as he grabbed one of everything, except the jerky.

Sitting down, and eating in silence, Ivor pulled out Famine from his Inventory. "Famine, is that really your sister?" he quietly asked the book.

"Yes. That is my older sister, Death. Why?" she asked.

He glanced at the two girls who were talking in the distance, sitting together on a large throne made out of charred open-mouthed skulls, decaying flesh, and black roses.

Death was doing most of the talking as Jess was trying to not upset her.

"I thought she would be... well, a book! Not a girl." he quietly shouted.

"She was able to give herself a physical body, but I do not know how. But I guess that means we are now the older siblings." Stated Famine, but Death just laughed; clearly overhearing that comment. She walked back to the minions and Ivor, holding her brother Conquest in her hand as Jess walked at her side holding War.

"Until you get a physical body on your own, and accomplish a fraction the things I can do... then maybe you have a chance of beating War for second place!" She said truthfully, while trying to suppress her giggles.

Ivor and Jess perked up when they heard that. Ivor spoke first. "Hold on, why would War be second place? I thought he is the weakest?"

"He is." Said Jess. "The description of [Observe] said so." She said as she puled out War.

Book: War

Considered the weakest among the Harbinger series. Created by the Old Builders to efficiently manage and supply all combat. This book contains advance warfare knowledge.

Weakest was right. It was noticeably thinner than Conquest and Famine, and as she opened it there were not a lot of pages. The pages contained strategies to use, tactics to learn, but it had lots of crafting recipes for machines.

Various furnaces that quickly smelt ores. A multi-block structure that melts metals, creates alloys, and modifies weapons. There are devices that can quickly harvest resources, breed animals, and harvest/plant crops.

But it was the last page that really interested her. It was a blank map. "Why does your brother contain a blank map?" Jess asked Death.

"That map is called the Dimension Labyrinth. It will project itself on a large, blank surface. The dots you see on the map will show you enemies and allies. All color coded."

"So I'm going to assume that red is for enemies and green is for allies?" Ivor asked.

"Correct." Said Death. "Any other location on the map that you didn't interact with will be represented as a white dot, completely neutral. The size of the dot will represent how big those territories are."
