I walked out of my house onto the warm grass.
"Good morning Shetah!" a nearby villager yelled. I waved and smiled. Today was going to be the same as every other day. I checked my mailbox even though I knew nothing was in there. What was odd is that there was a note sitting in the darkest corner of my mailbox. I grabbed it and read it.
Dear Shetah,
Yes, I know who you are. My name is Dragon and my world has fallen, I build the kingdom you live in. I built with a friend named Creeper. She died many years ago. There where clues to her death that the man who murdered her left. I could never track any of them down. I need your help. I've been trying to figure this out for years, my years are reaching their end. Please help, the first clue and the only clue I ever found says:
To find the killer of your friend,
Start to search at the end,
It towers high in the sky,
Listen to the echoes, moans, and cries.
I don't understand. I'm begging you, Creeper was my best friend and the least I can do is avenge her.
With hope, love, and above,
Dragon
I almost fell over. Why me? Why now? I walked inside and re-read the letter. I need help. I can't do this alone! What if I get myself killed! I can't do this! I should talk to my friends, I say friends but I mean friend. I ran to my room and picked up my bag. I put the letter inside and ran to the barn. Trees and houses flew by me as I ran, villagers waved and shouted "Hello" or "Good morning" I always waved and smiled back but I was in too much of a rush. It was almost exciting! I haven't had anything happen to me since I punched a tree and had to go to a priest for help. It wasn't my fault anyway, some kid dared me. I reached the barn and the person I was looking for was there, feeding the sheep. I ran up to my best friend and hugged him.
"I missed you! I haven't seen you in weeks!" he said.
"Sorry, I wouldn't have came if it wasn't for this letter." I opened my bag and showed him the letter. He whispered it to himself.
"And Above, Dragon. That's odd. Why would anyone send you this? Think it's a prank?"
"Well one, why would they send me this? Duh, she wants me to avenge her dead friend and two it can't be a prank. All the villagers are to nice to do that." I rushed my sentences and he made me repeat a few of them.
"Shetah, don't do this alone."
"I was hoping you would do it with me." I said it confidently but inside I was super worried. I never showed any emotion towards him. He usually showed me more than I ever could.
"I will do it just to keep you safe."
"Well what else are boyfriends for?" we laughed and I hugged him. His eyes were blue and his hair was dark blue. His farmers outfit was old but cute. He loved my green eyes and turquoise hair.
"We do needs one more person though." He said.
"Who? Killun I want it to just be you and me but OK."
"I know someone. I don't know her personally but she lives next to me, she can help." Killun said.
"Why?"
"Because, two people isn't enough, three will keep us all safe."
"How do you know that?" I giggled, already knowing the answer.
"The village gossip, duh!" We laughed and he kissed my forehead.
"Lets go see this girl then." I said. We walked outside the barn and went in the direction of Killun's house. How close did she live? We walked for a few minutes until reaching a house. It was the same as the rest of the villagers houses, wood and square with a hint of stone. He knocked and the door swung open immediately.
"Hello Ember."
"Killun." She opened the door the rest of the way for us to come in. I walked in behind Killun. He gave her the letter and she read it.
"Me and Shetah are going to find the killer. We want your help." I smiled and nodded at Killun's words.
"Sure, I love a good old murder." Killun's and my face looked terrified. Ember laughed.
"I'm kidding!" she said. We all laughed. Pretty sure my laugh sounded as fake as it was. Killun's laugh sounded as odd as mine but Ember didn't notice.
"So when do we start?" I asked.
