AN: A Small note, if you read my previous Minecraft Fanfiction, the Mysterious Island, then you will know a few of the references to it. If not, then you might not get it. It isn't needed to read it to read the story though.
There are many stories in the land of Minecraftia, many warriors, farmers, merchants, alchemists, and most importantly, miners. Today's story is one of many, about an unlikely group, who discover wonderful things….that or totally screw around and cause chaos, whichever you want.
[At the Tavern, The Winking Creeper in the Kingdom of Toxceta]
A group of men were talking to each other. It was obvious who the leader was, it was Bren T. Hunter, not the famous Adventurer who wrote a book on defeating the nether dragon, but rather Bren Tenkage Hunter, the grandson of the adventurer. His hair was short but tied back at the end in a tiny pony tail, goggles on his forehead, and a sweet leather duster. His brown eyes were looking dull from his drinks.
"Bar keep, more of that *hic* Chateau Romani" He said downing some of his alcoholic milk.
"Bren, remember what happened last time, you picked a fight with a pumpkin and lost"
This was spoken by a young man in blue cloth robe, it was the mage Gale, he was a drop out of magic school, why he was a drop out he refused to say but his power was at least enough to ward a creeper with a few spoken words. He used his left hand to rub the back of his head and feel his tidy black hair. In his right hand, a small bottle of fine Dwarven mead, along with a Dwarven Jaffa cake. He crunched on the small wafer and drank some of the mead.
The large nosed barkeep sighed and cleaned a glass with a rag as he listened, this was the third night in a row this guy was here, well as long as he had gold he was welcome, but even his patience was starting to wane. He set down another Chateau Romani for Bren to drink.
"Bren keep it down"
This was spoken by a man in green armor, his helmet removed and set on a nearby table, his hair short and blond, his skin un-tanned from being in his armor a lot, but not pale by any means. He looked at Bren with his Hazel eyes and then Bren just hiccupped; he rolled them and went back to his business, that business being playing pool with his close friend. This was Nick, and he was a wandering mercenary who hooked up with Bren a while back.
The man playing with him was a little shorter, but like Nick wore the same armor, albeit red, and his helmet stood with Nick's. His skin was a little tanner. He rubbed his glasses up and ran his hand through his nearly black, brown hair as he watched Nick miss his shot.
"Alright AJ you're up" Nick said and AJ as it were took his.
"Just ignore Bren, you know how he is these days" AJ said as he hit the cue ball into number 7 sending it into corner pocket.
"Yeah, his desire to make a name for himself, rather than living on his Grandfathers" Nick said and he felt a conk on the back of his head knocking him onto the pool table, he groaned and looked, it was Bren's milk glass
Bren was glaring at Nick
"Shud up, I's am tired of hear bout *hic* my grandfather and his sto-*hic*-ry. I'm going to make a name of myself and not live off my family's *hic* money!" He called out and Gale rolled his eyes
The Barkeep sighed and then tapped Bren's shoulder
Bren turned around angry about to slice his arm off but the Barkeep held his hand up, "Listen, you want to make a name for yourself, why don't you try and build a mine, discover something new, found a town, do something other than trash my tavern" the man spoke and Bren nodded his head and then said, "Got an idea?"
The Barkeep stood back and thought, "I know, I do have the deed to an old island, it used to have a settlement but it was abandoned because the locals thought it was cursed…been in my family for generations, but we refused to go there. But if you want t-"
Bren had took the deed out of the man's hands and tried to focus his drunken eyes and said, "So how much?"
"How about 20 diamonds, that should be enough for me to retire comfortably" the bar keep said and Bren groaned a bit but went into his nearby pack and going past a bound up sword found his pouch sat it on the counter. "
"20 diamonds, all I had left and brought with me. I don't believe in curses" He said showing them. The Barkeep smiled and said, "Deal"
Bren spoke up to his group
"Guys, we set tale for our new island" He downed his last glass of milk…and then proceeded to pass out onto a nearby table.
Nick groaned, "Well AJ lets take him to the inn, guess we get to start a new town" He said to his companion
"I guess so" AJ said picking up the passed out Bren and taking him out
Gale face palmed, "I got kicked out of the Magical Academy for this?" he thought as he paid for his food and drink and left
The next morning Bren had chartered a ship to take them to the island, the sailor was confused as to why Bren would go to the Notch forsaken place but hey, gold is gold. Bren had also used up the last of his gold to pay for some supplies, new pickaxes, axes, shovels, a couple of hoes, some cut stone and building wood, a little forging iron, plenty of food and even a cow. Needless to say, if they don't set up a town, Bren would be in debt
A Few days passed on the ship, and they landed on the beach, Bren could see the old and decrepit dock, untended too long was now rotting. Old building vine covered, and full of weeds, at least they had shelter to work with.
"I christen thee….Kingdom Awesome" Bren said tripping on the sand, his last bottle of personal Chateau Romani in his hands
"Actually Bren, the Island is called Torenta" Gale said helping Bren up
"Right right" Bren said as Nick and AJ helped the sailors pull cargo out
"Ok sir, we will be back in a month, if you have supplies to trade with us, we will trade. If you want off, we will bring you off" the Caption said to Bren and Bren nodded his head, soused but not completely drunk
The group watched the ship sail away and Bren turned to the group
"Ok guys, check out the area you guys, see if you can find anything useful that isn't bolted down, and come back to the dock for a status report, I'll find a place to keep Mia here," He said referring to the cow they brought
Everyone went off and Bren led Mia through the old town. It didn't take long for him to find the old barn and he was thankful to find the fence, while a little rotted, was strong enough to keep Mia in
"Ok Mia stay here, I'll be back soon with some feed" He said and Mia gave a content moo as she munched on some of the over grown grass.
Bren then took his own look around.
Gale was checking a house, his eyes focused on a book shelf, "The Creeper Anatomy, The many spells of Fumblemore, The Legend of the Pumpkin Prince, The Bible of Notch, Spells and how to use them…not a bad selection, whoever lived here had some good tastes" Gale said pulling out the Legend of the Pumpkin Prince and reading it a bit.
Nick and AJ were in the general store, seeing if anything was left.
AJ checked the back room and said, "Found some Extra torches and an old iron pickaxe, but that's it" AJ called out
"I found some shears, a little fabric, and a couple of watermelon seeds" Nick said after he checked the shelves
"Well we found something" AJ said as they put the items in a pack to take to Bren
The group met up back at the beach and Bren asked, "Anything useful?"
"Found some books, an old record of Cat, and a small creeper toy" Gale said setting down his prizes
"AJ and Nick?" Bren asked
"Some seeds, shears, fabric, torches and one pick axe, the store was cleaned out" Nick said when they set their findings
Bren went to his pack and set down two things, one was an old compass, the other, a map of the island
"Found these two in the Mayor's office, seems this island isn't fully explored, judging by the markings. We do have access to a mine about a couple miles north, but after that, no idea what is out there" Bren said.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"Now let's get to work" Bren said and they let out a big Her-Ra
