Hey guys, I had the inspiration to give a story on the background of Raven. This story was inspired by my friend, who is Hyyxos, from her constant bugging about a joke I made earlier in the school year. Yes ADD moments are supposed to be there! And anything in quotation marks 'like this' is thought. anyone "like this" is talking!
Hey.. I am Raven.. And well, I have to call myself "evil", but to be honest.. I started out with an ordinary, or as close as ordinary gets, life.. Up until I was seven, when "He" came and claimed me as his daughter... I never knew until that night.. And I sometimes wish that in could go back to that life, where I was a skilled mob fighter and was respect at a younger age, just wandering around with my old friend Hyyxos...
He came one cool breezy night, when I still had my ice blue eyes, while I was walking home with my only friend, Hyyxos. The reason she was my only friend was well, the mobs liked to target me.. but like myself, she also enjoyed the adrenaline rush you get when an arrow flies by like a streak of light... Yeah, seven is young to be fighting zombies and skeletons, but that is what we enjoyed on nights when the moon was at its brightest... We were walking through one of the darker parts of the forest, where most mobs are usually at. When she challenged me how far my accuracy was with a bow.. "You could never shoot this from that far while wearing your hood down!" she challenged me. We faced each other then started backing away slowly, to get an accurate measure of distance. When we got far enough away, she placed a mark on the ground with her foot. "Hit here and I will give you an iron ingot!" All I did was pull my hood down and smile in the creepy way that I always did. That was another reason why I only had Hyyxos, because of my smile. It always freaked people out, they said it reminded them of "Him". I never believed those silly bedtime stories as a five year old.
Well I pulled the bowstring as far as it would go and aimed for the spot. I let the arrow fly. After a second I heard a thump and Hyyxos yell, "You did it! I never thought you would.. I guess I owe ya that iron ingot..." I started walking towards her when her smile dropped and her eyes went wide as she stared at the space above my head. I stopped walking, "What?" I said, noticing that the surroundings got a little brighter. All she did was stare. I just stared back at her. Then I felt a hand quickly go over my mouth and my vision went blurry and white.
The last I saw of Hyyxos that night was her dropping her sword and running for her life towards the little town we called home.. I liked the way it was smallerish, but even if it was small, news of my disappearance spread like wildfire around the world.. Yeah that might sound weird, but there had been a lack of mobs the nights before my disappearing.. And people had always been suspicious of me.. The way I had a short temper, very aggressive, and liked to solve thing with a fight... I had almost killed a boy because he pissed me off to bad when I was six... After that most people stayed away.. I was even stripped of my belongings, even my hoodie, and sent to therapy... Three days later the therapist was in the hospital with a broken arm, and a cracked ribcage... Soon after... Most people stayed away except Hyyxos, being the stubborn friend she was, never left my side. After a month of that we grew close... I never had real parents or family.. According to the people there, they mysteriously disappeared soon after I turned a month old.. I was sent around the town, house after house.. Nobody wanting me. Until I was sent to one of the older lady's houses.. Where I stayed for a year until He got me.. One of my few belongings was a diamond sword.. Some say it was my "father's" but I really have no clue where it came from.. And only a few people in the town have one.. So I was pretty lucky to have it..
Well back to the forest. After the blinding light had cleared, I blinked my eyes a few times. I looked in the direction of forest where Hyyxos had disappeared into to see her look back at me. I stared at her and saw an even scared Hyyxos. She turned and ran without stopping.. I notice something strange about my vision, which had always been sharper than anyone else's, everywhere I looked it seemed strangely bright, even when it was midnight where I was standing, in a dark forest, nothing to supply light... I started to get a little freaked out myself.. I turned to see the person who grabbed me so I could try and get a few hits with my sword on them. But before I could move I felt a hand on my back and everything go black. I felt heavy darkness close in on me then the darkness left as suddenly as it came, but instead of a dark forest, I saw red and yellow everywhere. "The Nether.." I whispered to myself as I took in the landscape around me. 'Very good Raven, you have a lot to learn about this place. This will be your home from now on, where you will train and become powerful. Powerful enough to kill someone from a mile away with a movement with your hand' I heard a soft but cold voice in my head. "Who was that?" I said in an alarmed voice, knowing that me and my captor were the only ones around. 'So you do not know your own Father young Raven? It is a shame that they never told you. I am Herobrine. Your Father. You know that you have always wondered who your parents were.. So now half of your question is now answered.' I turned around while involuntary listening to the cold voice in my head. I looked the man up and down, noticing that his eyes were colorless, and he was wearing all black. "No, this is just a dream! You are not real! Just a story made up for kids to have a reason to obey their parents!" The voice laughed in a similar way that I did, well it sounded almost exactly the same... 'With that, you are wrong, I am here just as alive as you are. Many people want me just to be a legend, but that could never happen.' He said, or thought..whatever you want to call it. "But how exactly can I trust you, knowing that you have killed many and messed with their minds?" I asked Herobrine. 'Haha, you can trust your father, I would never lie to you like that, now would I Daughter? If you want some proof go look at your reflection in that lava pool, then maybe stick your hand in it to see how it feels.' He told me. "Do not call me "Daughter" like that! I have a name!" I yelled at him as I shuffled over to the nearest lava pool to look at my reflection. I look down into the gleaming,molten rock and at first notice nothing. Then I look at my eyes, pure white like Herobrines. "No.." I say as I put my hand up to my face. 'See Raven, you even now resemble me physically. How about testing the temperature of that lava now?' "Okay.." I said as I shakily put my hand into the liquid rock, preparing for the worst.
As the tips of my fingers touch the lava, I feel a warm feeling. It tingled a bit and I stuck my whole hand into it. "Woah.. The townspeople always said lava was dangerous.." I whispered to myself, not taking notice to Herobrine that appeared behind me. 'Haha I told you. Now do you believe me? And do not think that anyone can touch lava and not be burnt.. That is a trait passed from me to you, any other human to touch it would be burnt to a crisp in a split second.' "Okay, I... I believe you..," I started out then I let my cockiness show." But that does not mean you have every right to use me to do your dirty work!" The next thing I know is that I am pinned to the wall and watching Hero with his head down, eyes closed, and arm raised to look like he was choking me from far away, in which he was.. 'Now first rule, you will never talk to me in that way ever again, or I will kill you, got it?' I do not even say anything but I think it 'okay.' He answers 'good, now I will let you rest and we will start training tomorrow. Got it? You will be put on a tight schedule and diet. You will need to be I. Shape if you are to survive out there while people are after you.' He lets me go and I walk back over to him.
He motions for me to follow and we walk a while util we reach a nether brick fortress. 'This is where I live in this world, you will have to sleep on my bed in there because I have yet to make another one,' I nod and walk inside. I look to the left and notice the bed he was talking about and fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
I wake up thinking that the purplish stone around me is the end of a dream, but then I realize, this is the beginning of a nightmare in hell. I look at the end of the bed to see Herobrine, or my "Dad", sitting in a chair with his eyes closed. 'Maybe he is I can escape this place...' I think. 'Nice try Raven, already thinking of escape? There are no portals around here for miles, and before you could even step out if here I would know.' "Can I do anything without you knowing anymore?" I say to him while sitting up in the bed. 'What do you mean 'anymore'? I had always know what you were up to while even in the overworld.' "Oh, so not stalkerish.." I yawn, stretch and get out of the bed. 'Time for training' he "says" to me. "When you say training.. What do you mean by it? I already know anything, I was taught from watching the mob slayer, and fighting zombies themselves." 'Ok then, fight me.' He flat out tells me.
