Part 1: The Game Master
Chapter 1: Dangerous Encounters
Ginsei's P.O.V.
I groaned softly as I walked onto school grounds. The sun was just climbing over the horizon bathing the sky in an orangey glow. I headed towards the art room to drop off my stuff. I pause as I open the door. Sitting on my desk is a white wolf with vibrant purple eyes. He wore a black shirt with purple flames on it and black pants. He had bare paws for feet, but this was normal for most of us around here. After all, shoes were rather uncomfortable on paws, so only those who had feet more than paws wore them.
"You're here early, Alucci" I said grinning lightly as I slip my backpack off my shoulders and set it on the floor by my desk.
Alucci gave an amused flick of his long tail "G'mornin' to ya too, Gin." He said playfully.
I lightly push him off my desk and turn towards the door "Come on. Griff and Silver are probably waiting for us." I said and started walking.
Alucci followed while chuckling softly. Once outside I head towards the cafeteria when a familiar scent invading my nose.
"Gin!" A white weasel called as he came running towards us.
He had brown hair and glasses. He wore a pale blue t-shirt and jeans.
"'Sup, Xen?" I asked with a nod.
Xen straightened his glasses "Not much, how are you doing in Minecraft now that it's been updated to the nerve-gear?" He asked
"Great! Though Creeper attacks hurt." I said.
"Yes they do!" Alucci said with a knowing chuckle.
"Yosh! Gin! Alucci! Xen!" A familiar voice called.
We all look to see a three-tailed kitsune gliding towards us on roller blades. "Yo! Wassup, Griff?" I called back.
"Not much, you?" he asked as he came to a stop beside us.
I almost answered but then I caught the scent of blood. I look to see scratches on Griff's arm. "What happened to your arm!?" I asked in alarm "those look almost like claw marks!" Alucci added.
"Kiara was probably just kicking his ass again" Xen said with a shrug.
The three of us glare at him for a moment then Griff looked at me. "I had a run in with the 'Game master'" he said grimly.
"The Game Master?" I echoed curiously.
Before Griff can reply Xen pipes in "It's the next big game thing since Herobrine. It's just a myth like him."
"Herobrine is NOT a myth!" I snapped before I could stop myself.
"Oh really? What makes you say so?" Xen challanaged.
I sneered, much like what Herobrine does when frustrated, I couldn't tell him how I knew for it was a secret that only Alucci, Griff, and I knew. We had been dragged to Minecraftia for a month or two to help the four Overlords. Notch, Steve, Herobrine, and Blu. The rulers of Aether, The Overworld, The Nether, and The End.
"Who knows Xen, maybe he is real? Just not in this world?" Griff and Alucci suggested quickly.
"I guess that might be possible." Xen mused.
I sighed and looked back at Griff "So what did 'The Game Master' say to you?" I asked.
"He said 'Tell your snow leopard friend that I challenge her to a duel!' Then he left…" Griff said.
Xen blinked in confusion. "But Gin's a guy and we don't know any other snow leopards." He said.
Griff, Alucci and I exchanged looks. That was something they had discovered on our little trip to Minecraftia. That I was really a girl. I had never told Xen this cause well, I didn't know him that well. I may have known him for the same amount of time as Griff but we had never really had an in depth talk, ya know?
"Maybe he mistook me for a girl?" I suggested quietly.
"It's possible" Alucci said.
"Well, how will I find him?" I asked Griff.
"I think he plans on finding you" He replied.
"yhcaep gnikcuf tsuj s'that ,lleW" I muttered under my breath.
. . .
The day went by as usual but I had the constant feeling of being watched. Recalling how fatal a mistake it was to look behind myself when Herobrine stalked me for a week I was very careful when I did finally at lunch. Standing amongst the other students was a clouded leopard with purple eyes brighter than Alucci's staring straight at me. He wore a white T-shirt and black jeans. He had a black vest on over the shirt. A fedora rested upon his head, grey brown with a hatband of darker brown and white stripes on it, with brown feathers pinned to its left side. his raven hair peeked out from underneath the hat in unruly spikes. I stood and walked towards him only to have him turn and vanish amongst the crowd. I gritted my teeth and followed until I rounded a corner to see him leaning against a wall, waiting for someone, for me.
"So, your friends don't know you're a girl?" He asked looking at me with a confident smirk.
"I'm a boy" I said firmly.
"I can tell by your scent you're a girl." He said flatly.
I sneered and glared at him.
"My name's Clover by the way. But you know me better as The Game Master" He said, his smirk widening.
I tensed, was he wanting to fight here and now?
As if reading my thoughts, he shook his head. "No I don't want to fight here. Tonight, in Minecraft since you seem to favor that game" He said.
"Alright…what's in it for the winner?" I asked.
"The undisputed title of 'Master of All Games.' Besides, if necessary I can harm your dimwitted friends." He said then all of a sudden vanished, like a certain brunette I knew.
I sighed and looked back towards my table to see Alucci and Griff watching me intently while my panda-cat friend, Raven, was too busy eating to notice.
