Prologue
The city counsel and the mayor gathered in the mayor's office. The mayor was seated at his desk and the counsel was gathered around a table. A chair at the opposite end of the mayor's desk was empty. They all waited for him to come.
Suddenly there was a flash of lightning striking in front of the vacant chair. Replacing the lightning stood Herobrine. He kicked away the chair. The gathered people quickly put on their anti-Herobrine Glasses, which makes them able to look at him without being blinded by Herobrine's pupiless glare. Then the meeting that would decide the future of the City of Ways began, but at first the mayor and counsel didn't know it.
"Why have you ordered us here in the midst of our war?" the mayor asked meanly.
Herobrine glared at him. The mayor began to rub his head. One of the counsel members put his hand it the line of eye. "You've promised not to hurt any of us, remember?" he asked.
"I remember everything," Herobrine said, his voice deep, booming, and rare to be heard. "This 'war' you've called it, its getting boring. I know you can't suffer any longer or I'll wipe out the entire population of your city in a few days. You don't know how much I want to do that, but I've decided not to." Herobrine walked around the table, putting fear into everyone's minds.
"What do you want to do?" asked another counsel member, his voice shaking.
"I'll leave you alone but I want to be entertained," Herobrine said.
"We have comedians, theater-" began another counsel member.
"I don't want that kind of entertainment," Herobrine growled "I want my kind of entertainment. Seeing people suffer."
"We aren't going to let you torture our people," the mayor said "You're already doing that."
"Not like this 'war'. I've decided to start a game. Let's call it the 'Herobrine Games.' You send 10 people from 10 to 20 years old to fight me in a specific area you can choose. They cannot kill me but I can kill them. This occurs once every month for a day. The surviving gets to live. I will leave at least one person alive, just for you. Plus, everything must be televised to the world."
"No, thats a silly idea," the mayor said, his face getting red and he pounded on his desk "I'm not going to let children suffer for yourself. Especially not once every month!"
"Every two months for two days," Herobrine said "That or this war continues. If my Games go on then I'll leave your city in peace. Your city is the City of the Ways and this is a way for peace. You do want the hundred thousands of your people kept alive, do you?"
The mayor and the counsel leaned in and discussed. After a while, everyone relaxed, but still looked tense and worried. One person had a red face. That was the mayor.
"We agree," the mayor said "But not every two months or month. On the beginning of a winter and summer solstice and goes on for a week. You have to keep at least one person alive. We can prepare our people until they're chosen and even after they are. We will call them, The Chosen. They will be given necessary equipment and be trained for a week before we begin your vicious Games."
"Thank you for your consideration," Herobrine said. Two pieces of paper appeared in his hands. He tossed them to the mayor. "Sign here and keep it safe. If it is destroyed, I will destroy you. This is our agreement."
The mayor looked at the paper. Slowly, he pulled out a red pen and uncapped it. And then, he signed his name. He looked ashamed. He never looked happy again after he signed it. No one had ever forgiven him for what he did.
Herobrine smiled. Without a word, lightning struck and he vanish.
The First Herobrine Games happened at the summer solstice. Herobrine went easy and kept 5 alive. Those 5 were hardly the same afterwards from the terror they went through. The Second, 2 were alive and the Third had only 1 survivor who later vanished. It was rumored that he was going to a new place to calm himself after all he went through.
The Herobrine Games went on for many years. Even the old mayor and all the counsel members but one were all dead when the 89th Herobrine Games began.
So, the Herobrine Games, something thats been bugging me for a bit. I only have the prologue written because I want to focus more on my other stories. I might post the first "official" chapter once I've written it. Sorry that this story won't get updated as often as the others.
And I hope my cover photo doesn't scare you.
For people hanging on this long and reread the prologue, I changed 49 to 89.
