AMBher: Well ALena and I decided to build a TARDIS in Minecraft, and then we decided to make it into a story. This is the result of our hard work. As we introduce things we will try to put pictures up of them, either screen shots or things that ALena draws.

Chapter 001: Safety

Near the edge of the desert there are two exhausted travellers riding horses slowly towards where the mountains should be. The riders are Briar and Mysterion. Mysterion rides her white horse, Ghost, and Briar rides her black horse, Midnight, while leading her donkey, Donkey. Trailing not far behind them is Mysterion's wolf, Pond. All are tired from travelling from there distant village, that was one of the latest villages that was attacked by the undead army that is trying to take over the world.

Briar's body slowly starts to sway, before it starts to tip and fall off of Midnight. She lands with a quiet thud on the sand, without drawing Mysterion's attention. Pond slouches up to Briar and lets out a weak bark, which draws Mysterion's gaze to her, where she spots an exhausted and dehydrated Briar laying in the sand with her eyes gently closed.

Mysterion quickly climbs off of Ghost and kneels down beside Briar. Quietly Mysterion whispers for Briar to wake up, before she starts shaking her. Briar snaps her eyes open and starts to yell before her eyes widen. Mysterion turns freezes before she turns around slowly, expecting to see an enemy, but instead she sees the mountains. Slowly Mysterion helps Briar to her feet, before they grab their horses' reins and start leading them towards their distant goal, which is finally within their reach.

Slowly before them trees start to appear on the horizon, but more importantly in between the trees and the end of the desert was a river. They quicken their pace as the river gets closer. As soon as they get to the edge of the river they drop to their knees and drink water from their cupped hands. As soon as they had their fill of water the young women climb onto their horse back and rode them across the river to the opposite side.

When they reach the bank they dismount their horses and enter the shade cast by the trees where they all collapse in exhaustion. Briar was the first to succumb to land of dreams as she lies sprawled out under the tree. Mysterion is the next one, as she rests against Ghost. As soon as Ghost knows for certain the Mysterion is asleep, he rests his head on Mysterion's back before drifting off into a deep sleep. Midnight and Donkey lay down on either side of Briar, before they too drift into a deep sleep.

Pond sits on her hunches and watches over everyone as they sleep, but even she cannot resist the darkness as her eyes soon drift close before she collapses and falls into a deep sleep, dreaming of chasing rabbits.

"NO!"

Mysterion jumps up and looks around to find out what had screamed, what she sees is Briar curled in a ball crying as she wakes from a nightmare. She watches as Midnight and Donkey nuzzle Briar gently before asking awkwardly, "Are you okay?"

Slowly Briar raises her head and turns it towards Mysterion with a glare that could kill, before she sarcastically says, "I am just dandy. I survived an attack by the undead army and now I have no idea if any of family survived as well."

As Briar started to speak, Mysterion slowly backed away. As soon as Briar finished speaking Mysterion started saying, "Um… Ah… Er… Yea…", before she hides behind a tree.

Still glaring at Mysterion, Briar shakes her head and mutters, "Why are you my best friend? You are a retard."

Mysterion awkwardly moves out from behind the tree and takes up Ghost's lead, before she heads towards the river, as Briar watches her move away. As soon as Mysterion was out of her sight Briar's face goes blank, before she closes her eyes and mutters, "I really need to think before I make friends with people."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mysterion ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I lead Ghost to the river, where he lowers his head to have a drink as I sit on the bank and place my feet into the flowing water. I start to think back to a few weeks ago when me and Briar first meet. It was the oddest meeting that I have ever had.

~ Flashback ~

I ride Ghost into a small town near the edge of the desert with my brother Daniel riding his horse, Gallifrey, and Pond strolling along behind us. As we enter the town we hear a commotion near the centre of town, as we get closer we see that the commotion is over a young woman sitting on the cover of the town well.

We dismount and we watch in confusion as the young woman suddenly notices us. Her face brightens before she stands up and does a flip off of the well to land on her feet on a pitch black horse. The young woman then hops off the horse and skips over to us, before loudly declaring, while pointing at me, "You are my new best friend."

Daniel slaps his hand to his forehead as I say in confusion, "Wait. What?"

The young woman just stares at me with a blank look before she states, "You are my new best friend"

I give her a baffled look as Daniel starts laughing, and then I ask, "Are you sure about that?"

Still looking at me with a blank look the young woman answers with, "I said it, didn't I?"

Staring at the young woman I say, "Yeah, but we just meet?"

Matching my stare the young woman asks, "Point?"

Still baffled I ask, "Aren't you taking this a bit fast?"

With a sharp head shake the young woman answers with a simple, "Nope."

Blinking at her simple answer, I ask, "Are you sure you don't want to rethink that?"

Again the young woman answers with a simple, "Nope."

I try another way by saying, "But we just meet."

The young woman gives me a blank look before saying, "Again, point?"

That is when a young man makes his presence known by saying, "Just give up. When she gets an idea in her head, she does not let it go. Ever."

I looks around before asking, "Where did you come from?"

The young woman shrugs and pushes the young man away while saying, "Nowhere important."

The young man glares at her before saying, "Well you're nice. Not."

Daniel looks at the strange people, before he turns on his heel and starts to walk away. As soon as I notice I call out, "Hey! Where are you going?"

The young woman looks back to me and states, "He is not important, new best friend. What's your name? Mine is Briar."

I looks at her before holding up a hand and saying, "One sec." Then I turn to my brother, grab his arm and drag him back while growling at him, "Hey, get back here! You're not getting out of this."

Briar looks between us before asking, "Is he your boyfriend?"

My head snaps toward her and I shout, "What?! NO! He is my brother!"

Nodding once sharply Briar says, "Okay. That weirdo is Rory. He is the town doctor, and my ex-boyfriend. And this is where you introduce yourselves."

Blinking I stare at Briar before saying, "Oh right. My name is Mysterion and this is Daniel. My brother."

Daniel raises one hand in a quick wave as he says, "Hi."

Nodding Briar says while giving us a small wave, "Okay. Hi Missy and Danny."

I open my mouth, before closing it again, and then I say, "Okay, going to ignore that. Do you know any place we can stay? We are just passing through?"

Briar's face hardens as she stubbornly says, "No."

Rory shakes his head before saying, "Briar, be good."

Turning her head, Briar glares at him before repeating, "No."

Throwing his hands up Rory lets out a frustrated noise and says, "I give up." Before he turns around and walks away, while Briar pokes her tongue out at his back.

Daniel stares after Rory, before looking back at Briar and says, "Okay. We will be going now."

Briar's head snaps around to glare at him and she repeats, again, "No."

Holding his hands up in a calming manner, Daniel says, "Look. We just need supplies, and then we shall be leaving."

Quickly Briar's hands snap up and behind her back before she brings them forward again with a bow held firmly in her hands. She places an arrow on the string and draws it back as she points it at Daniel, before repeat one more time, "No."

Holding his hands up in surrender Daniel asks in panic, "Why? Why can't we leave?"

Tilting her head to the side, Briar flickers her eyes towards me, before stating, "She is my new best friend."

This time I slap my hand to her forehead, before I say, "We just went through this. We just meet."

Briar gives me a blank look while still holding the bow steady, before she asks, "Point?"

I give a slight shake of my head before saying, "We shall be going now."

Briar tightens her grip on the bow and pulls the string back a bit more, before Daniel says to me, "I don't think that is going to work."

Letting out a small giggle, Briar loosens her grip slightly on the bow while saying, "Listen to him. He is right."

Staring between the two, I say, "So… What happens now?"

Briar completely loosens her grip on the bow and puts it away, but continues to fiddle with the arrow while she says, "There is an empty house by mine that you can use."

Giving Briar a blank look, I say, "Okay. Just let us grab our stuff."

A bright smile lights up Briar's face as she says, "Okay."

Pond stands up and follows Daniel and I as we start walking over to where our horses had wandered off to, while Briar skips after us. Daniel looks over his shoulder and sees Briar following us still. He turns to me and whispers, "Okay. She is following us."

Suddenly Briar puts her arms over our shoulders and says, "Of course I am. I have to show you where the house is."

Jumping slightly, we both stare at Briar before looking at each other and thinking to ourselves, 'Well we can't escape, yet.' Then I looks at Briar and ask, "Where do we put Ghost and Gallifrey?"

Briar gives us a look that basically says, 'shouldn't that be obvious?' before she states, "In the stable at your house."

Daniel shakes Briar's arm off his shoulder as he asks, "Which direction is that?"

Ignoring him Briar moves ahead of them slightly before saying, "Follow me." Then she yells over her shoulder, "MIDNIGHT!"

As the black horse trots over to her Daniel says, "I think I just went death."

I nod and say, "Agreed."

Then Briar jumps up onto her horse and stands still as Midnight starts trotting forward which causes Daniel to cough into his hand, "Show off."

Briar turns and gives Daniel a glare, before saying, "Oh. I should warn you, the house use to be mine."

Nodding slightly I mutter, "Okay. Good to know."

A bright smile lights up Briar's face again as she looks at them before she says happily, "Don't try to leave. I will find you, Missy."

As Daniel stares at Briar nervously, I get annoyed and start calmly, before shouting, "I need to state one thing. STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

Letting a sly smirk grace her lips Briar says, "Okay, Tron."

Staring at Briar, I mutter, "Okay, this is going to be a long day."

Chuckling slightly, Daniel says, "Your problem, not mine." Then he turns and walks away.

Briar looks at him and says warningly, "I wouldn't go that way."

Daniel continues to walk and asks over his shoulder, "Why not?"

Pausing for a second, Briar lets another sly smirk grace her lips as she states, "You are about to walk into a pit."

Daniel takes one more step before he realizes what she said, turns around and says, "Wait. What?" It was too late, as the last step was over the pit and he falls straight down to land with a loud thud at the bottom.

I stare at where my brother was for a moment, before walking to the edge of the pit and looking down at my brother. I watche him for a moment before saying, "Um… so how do we get him out of there?"

Briar instantly pouts as she flips off of Midnight to land beside me, before she whines "I don't wanna. There are poisonous spiders down there."

Daniel's head instantly snaps around to look at her, before he whimpers out, "Oh God. Please tell me you are kidding?"

Still pouting Briar states, "Nope."

I glare at Briar for a second before saying, "Okay I am going down there after him."

Briar snaps her head around to look at her and says furiously, "NO! I will, Tron."

Letting out a sigh, I say, "My name is not Tron, we just went through this."

Ignoring her, Briar goes over to Midnight and grabs a rope from the saddle bag before she ties it around his saddle horn. She then calmly walks to the edge of the pit and jumps in, flipping around before she hits the ground to land neatly on her feet.

I let out another sigh before I jump down after my brother and 'best friend'.

Briar turns and stares at me before stating, "You're stupid."

Groaning in annoyance I say, "Please tell me that is not my new nickname?"

Daniel looks between the two before he whisper shouts, "Now that you're done talking, can you please get me out of here?"

Briar waves a hand in Daniels direction before saying to me, "The spiders, for some reason, ignores males and only attacks females."

My eyes widen before I whisper yell at Briar, "You could have told me that before I jumped into the pit."

Shrugging Briar states, "Too late for what ifs. I hope you two know how to use those weapons."

Daniel quickly glares at Briar before saying, "Of course. Why else would we have them?"

Waving a hand at him Briar states, "For show."

I start looking around before I ask Briar, "So where are the spiders?"

Letting a small smirk cross her lips Briar states, "Behind you." Before she draws her bow and puts an arrow to the string.

Turning around, I come face-to-face with a spider to which I mutter, "Ah… Fuck."

Briar chuckles as she draws the arrow back and releases it, for it to fly smoothly forward to embed itself into the centre of the spiders head. Looking over the spiders that are starting to exit the holes in the walls, Briar says to me, "Draw your sword, dummy."

I look at her quickly before drawing my sword while saying, "Right."

Daniel draws his dagger and says as he looks at the spiders, "So how do we get out of here?"

Briar smirks again, before saying clearly, "I have a rope."

Daniel glares at her and asks patiently, "And what are you going to do with that rope?"

Slinging her bow over her shoulder, Briar quickly goes to me and ties the rope around my waist, making sure to have some hanging over. As soon as she was sure the rope was secure, Briar turns to Daniel and ties the rest of the rope around his waist. She then gives the rope two sharp tugs, before she states, "That."

Daniel once again glares at her, before he snaps, "Next time –" Before he could finish his sentence the rope becomes taunt and yanks he up sharply into the air much to Briar's amusement as she bends over laughing. Taking a deep breath, Daniel asks Briar, "We are not going to get along, are we?"

Briar shrugs her shoulders before saying, "Maybe." She then looks around and finally notices that the spiders are getting closer to her, so she runs at the wall, flips and kicks off it to the other wall, only to repeat what she did. She continues that until she lands on the edge of the pit and turns around to help pull me and Daniel over the lip of the pit.

I stare at the pit and then at Briar, before I state, "Well, that happened."

Briar smiles before saying happily, "Yep."

~ End Flashback ~

I stare up at the night sky and laugh at my memories of meeting Briar. Shaking my head I eventually stand up to go back and rest under the trees with Briar again. I watch as Briar glares at me and mutters under her breathe, "Missy Tron."
