In the land known as Mincraftia, deep within the forest biome cries could be heard. Not those of a villager mod or even any of the monster mods. It caught the attention of two mod princesses that just so happen to be wondering in the forest on this day. One's name was Andr, princess of the Endermen and daughter of the fearsome Ender Dragon. She wore a black jacket and short black skirt with black leggings that stopped just above her thighs. She also wore a black cap with purple rectangles for eyes as well a long brown hair and purple eyes. The other went by the name of Cupa, princess of the Creepers. She wore a green hoodie with a face of creeper, wore green leggings and green shorts, had wheat blonde hair and yellow eyes.
"What do you think is making that noise," Cupa asked.
"Not sure, but starting to get annoying. Let's check it out," Andr said.
The followed the sound of the crying throughout the forest and soon came across something they least expected, a baby. It was dressed in a green onesie and looked no older than a few months old. It had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. Cupa was curious about the baby and picked it up, quickly blowing raspberries into its belly, its cries quickly changing to that of laughter.
"Do you think one of the villagers left it out here by mistake?" Cupa asked.
"I don't know what should we do with it?" Andr asked.
"Go get the others and tell them to meet back here. I think there is something different about this baby." Andr nodded and teleported away, as is the power of all Endermen.
While alone Cupa kept the baby laughing by making faces and blowing raspberries. She couldn't help but find the baby to be cute but something about it still felt different from the regular villagers, its scent for example, it didn't seem right to her at all.
"There is something odd about you, but more importantly where is your mommy and daddy little guy?" she asked deducing it to be a boy.
Her thoughts interrupted Andr coming back with only a few of the others. Iona, princess of the iron golems, who wore a grey skirt and vest, had short silver hair with fed eyes and had a type of helmet that looked like an iron golem. Serena princess of the snow golems, she wore a white sweater that had brown sleeves and white skirt, had blonde hair and black eyes and a pumpkin hat. Lupa, princess of the wolves, the only clothing she had was a brown winter jacket with white fur at the end of the sleeves and along the trim of the hood. She had long brown hair with dog ears and tail that both had white tips and brown eyes. [A/N: I think made her look like Holo from Spice and Wolf]
"Any particular reason you had Andr here come and get us?" Lupa asked in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Cupa stood and showed them the baby, causing Iona and Serena to squeal in excitement and rush to see it. Both golems loved humans though it is unclear as to why but they never questioned it. Iona gently took the baby into her arms and he looked up her with his bright green eyes in curiosity, almost as if asking, 'are you my mother?'
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Serena asked.
"It's a boy I think," Cupa said. "We found it here all by itself with no one to take care of it.
The two golems couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Who would leave a baby all alone in the forest, that's just senseless," Iona said.
"No it isn't, if he were to survive he would grow up to be strong if not he would be eaten. The weak die the strong survive," Lupa said, causing the baby to cry, almost like he understood her.
"Even I know that was dark of you to say," Andr said.
Iona rocked the baby and it slowly calmed down and noticed something off about this baby and a thought came to her mind, something she knew was right,
"I think this baby isn't a mod, I think it's a real human like from the legends."
The others looked at her in disbelief but looked closely and did notice something off about it. Thinking that maybe she might be right.
"What we need to do is decide who is going to care of him. I volunteer; I'll turn this pup into a wolf in no time," Lupa said but Iona looked at her like she was crazy.
"You most certainly will not, your mutts will just think he's food and try to eat him."
"Would not, I would let them know that he was under my protection," Lupa protested.
"If he's going anywhere he's going with me to the golem kingdom, he'll be protected there and grow happy," Iona said, getting a bit giddy at the fact that she is going to be raising a baby as her own.
"What are you even going to call him," Andr asked.
That thought actually didn't cross her mind and she couldn't even think of anything. But soon she found something written on the tag of the onesie, the name Henry but that was it. She thought it was perfect for him, her little Henry. Once everything was cleared between them Iona started to head back to golem kingdom. It was large city mostly made of stone bricks and cobblestone and iron golems walked around the streets, eyeing their princess and what she held in her arms. She made it to the castle and went to the throne room to see her father Ore, the ruler of this kingdom. He wore an iron chest plate with matching grieves, had a beard that reached down a bit, red eyes and iron helmet and carried a sword at his left.
"There you are Iona; I was beginning to wonder where you went off to out of nowhere," Ore said. He was a kind ruler and loved by many. When it came to protecting his subjects and the human villages he didn't take it lightly.
"Father, you'll never believed what was found in the forest," Iona said.
Ore couldn't believe what his daughter was holding and was happy, shouting with pride as he held his new grandson, not caring in the slightest if they weren't related or if he was a human. He was just happy none the less, happy that there was a prince to the throne.
18 years later Henry's POV
I lied on my back on the grass, enjoying the sunny day of the forest biome. Not a single cloud in the clear blue sky. Sorry for not giving a proper intro just now. The name is Henry Steel, (Steel not being my real name but something to honor my family). I'm 17 soon to be 18 in a few days; I have curly dark brown hair, green eyes that girls seemed to like. I was wearing a grey hoodie with an iron golem design on the hood, black t-shirt underneath, grey jeans and white sneakers. I also had a leather necklace with a diamond no bigger than a coin that was a gift from my grandpa from his travels and an iron sword that I only use for emergencies. But I still kept up with my swordplay.
Getting up and grabbing my sword I started to head back to golem kingdom, of which I was the prince of but I don't let that make me who I am.
"Guess I should head back home before mom starts to worry," I said, though I didn't get three steps in when I started to smell something familiar, the scent of wild flowers that was slightly intoxicating to me but also made me feel relaxed, knowing full where that was coming from.
"You know, if you hadn't trained me the way you did I wouldn't have known you were there Lupa, so why don't you come out already?" I said out loud. Soon a girl started to walk out from the tree line, who was half wolf and one of my dearest friends here in Minecraftia.
"You are certainly getting better little pup, maybe someday soon you will lead the pack," she said with pride and giving me a hug.
"I'm almost 18, I'm not a little pup anymore," I said.
Lupa helped raise me most of my life and taught me everything about survival in the biomes and how to hunt without weapons. But we grew close to each other and I would protect her at all coasts. Huh, guess growing up with golems has an effect of you.
"Glad I caught you before you headed back, I wanted to give you your birthday present early this year," she said, reaching into her brown jacket and pulling out a little wooden figurine of a wolf.
"Thanks, but why are you giving me this now, why not at the Summer Harvest festival when it will actually be my birthday?" I asked.
The Summer Harvest festival was a huge celebration that many villages and the golem kingdom take part in, a time to just have fun and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It was also the day my mother and grandpa made it my birthday since I actually don't know when my real one is since I'm adopted.
"I wish I could but there are certain matters that require me in the outer regions. Some villages are requesting guard dogs due to being attacked by zombie pigmen," Lupa said.
The zombie pigmen problem has been going on since before I was even around. The rising number in attacks grows every day and many are starting to worry that they might start taking over soon. But I know this won't happen, not as long as there are still iron golems in Minecraftia to protect others.
"It won't be the same without you there Lupa," I said feeling a bit disappointed but she cupped my cheek and gave me a warm smile.
"Trust me Henry; there is nothing more I would rather do then celebrate your birthday with you but I do need to go. How about when I get back, we go hunting, just the two of?" she said.
"You always know how to cheer me up. See you when you get back and thanks for the gift," I said receiving a kiss on the cheek before she took off into the forest.
Chucking I started walking toward home. The Iron Golem kingdom has always been my home for as long as I can remember and I knew everyone here and was liked by them, not because I was prince or that I'm human but because help them out in any way I can. Walking the streets I received hellos and waves and a few flirtatious looks from the girls. As I walked something felt out of place, like I was being watched by someone. There was flash of movement and a figure stood wearing a black cloak and wielding a stone sword that was raised above their head. They brought it down but I acted quick and caught it in between my palms, stopping it a few inches from my head. Twisting the sword, they let go and I elbowed them in the stomach and swept their feet. They tried to go for their sword but I put my foot on their arm and put the point of sword to their throat. They started to laugh and I recognized the voice.
"You're the only one in all of Minecraftia that I accept defeat with pride Henry. Looks like you kept up with your swordplay while I was gone."
"Ivory?" I asked, while with their free hand pulled down the cloak, showing the face of my sword tutor. She was the princess of the Wither Skeletons, wore a black vest that showed her stomach, black shorts and a black skully. Had long black hair, grey eyes and was an excellent swordsman, but then again all Wither Skeletons were.
"I didn't know you were back, how was your journey into the mountains, find anything out there?' I asked while helping her up but her face went stern.
"Ran into some zombie pigmen out there, hoards of them. Had a few close calls here and there, I honestly don't know I escaped. A few things did keep me going."
"What's that?" I asked.
She grinned and punched me in the arm. "Hanging out with you on your birthday of course, and if I were to die you would be known as the best swordsmen and I can't lose my rep like that now can't?" she said.
Nice to know she had her priorities straight, but what she said did bother me. If the attacks are getting serious I'd hate to think what would happen if it were to reach here in the golem kingdom. What am I saying, that's ridiculous, if that were to happen they would be wiped out before they reach the front gates so I shouldn't be concerned.
"You want to come over to do some practice. I think I might finally take that title of yours," I said, trying to tempt her into fighting me.
"As much I want to kick your ass little novice, I can't, I have to head back to the Neather Forest and let my father know that I'm back and about the pigmen problem. I will be back in time for the festival though and then we'll settle the score Steel," she said in treating tone but I know she didn't mean it. Ivory may act tough but she was cool when you get to know her.
She left and I continued to head to the castle, thoughts on what's to come in a few days.
Please Review if not that's cool too
