Hello minecraftians! I'm dra9onslayer, and this is the first fanfic I have ever written. The series is going to be a few different stories, and each one will be about 4-6 chapters long, maybe longer for some. I will be adding cameo references to popular mods, plugins, servers, and people, with a list of said references at the end of each chapter. I will accept OCs, but I will probably only see them from the latest one. Authors notes aside, I hope you enjoy the fic!

Cody, baron of Ambridge fief, looked out at the blocky rolling fields around his castle, occasionally dotted by trees that make perfect places for picnics on sunny days such as today. But he wasn't here to admire the view. He was thinking. He had just recently celebrated his 24th birthday, and, as a gift from his father Steve, the king, had been appointed to this position.

It was a good deal in general. The old baron, Walter, was in his late 60's and was ready to retire. And for barons, instead of choosing a successor from their family, the new baron was chosen from a position of rank in the baron's army, or in this case and a few others, the Kings. And, since the new baron is often inexperienced, there is a spike in criminal activity each time a new baron is positioned. But this time, there is a string of similar crimes in seemingly random towns. Murder.

The people that were killed were often people who work late tending their shop, found with a knife in their back in the middle of the road outside their shop, which had the door busted down and everything thrown everywhere, with all the valuables taken away. So Cody had to find out, and quick, who was doing it and where they would strike next, to earn the trust of his father, and the people of Ambridge fief.

Just then, he heard a knock on his door. Opening the door, he saw one of his messengers outside, panting and bent almost in half. As the door opened, the messenger stood up straight, and gave a semi-formal salute. Normally, he would take offence to this, but obviously the messenger was exhausted, so he let it go.

"My lord," he started, "We have information about the string of murders. We-"

he was cut off as Cody held out his hand to stop him. "One second," Cody said, "let me send for the others before you start."

Walking to the balcony, he went to the edge and produced a horn that was attached to his belt loop. Raising it to his lips, he blew a long, droning note outwards. He then heard a similar note play from slightly north, followed by a small burst of red In the sky near that area. His girlfriend Anika, a pretty Mage that often wore her stain-proof white and yellow dress, teleported into the room. Then, just minutes later, they heard a clatter on the drawbridge. The pair looked out from the balcony to see Willfalcon, a short man who was built like a barrel of ale, and full of ale as well, ride in on his snowy white ram, followed closely by Cody's little brother Troy, riding a brown horse as fast as the wind. They tended to their mounts, and rushed up the stairs to hear the news. By that time, the messenger had rested, gathered his thoughts, and was ready to tell them the news.

"My lord..." He started, "we have found the people who committed the murders. We have also found their recent plans as to where they are going to strike next." The four leaned closer, listening. "The group go by the name of 'The Uprising' and their next target, is our own totem sculptor, Gillian.

A/N: Im thinking of a story line addition, to have a "person" in the background adding the mods and stuff. It could explain a few things, but I'm not quite sure whether it would look good or not. Anyways, like, fave, review, and kill a dragon for me!
