Chapter 1: The Beginning
Outside of the walls of Emeral ~
"I can't believe that we got guard duty, again," one of the men guarding the northern gates said. "I know, right?" said his companion with a sigh, "All we ever do is greet the people who are entering the city."
"I wonder why they even bother calling it guard duty, we haven't had any problems with mobs since King Meneas took the throne." The guards continued to talk, not paying any attention to their surroundings. They didn't notice the pair of glowing purple eyes just inside the shadows of the surrounding forest.
"Pathetic," thought Farain as he observed the guards neglecting their duties. They hadn't once looked around to see if there were any possible threats. "You fools are lucky that I am only here for reconnaissance. If I had been part of the vanguard forces you would be dead," Farain muttered under his breath. "Hey Marc, did you hear something?" one of the guards asked, looking around for the first time. "It was just your imagination Kyle," said Marc, " No mobs have dared to show their faces near here since the example the king made out of that creeper."
"Do you really think so?" Kyle asked, still looking around rather nervously. "Of course I think so," replied a slightly exasperated Marc, "You saw the execution, if I were a mob I would be too terrified to come within five miles of Emeral's walls!"
"You're right, Marc!" Kyle laughed, "We could take a break and no one would be the wiser." Farain saw a creeper start to leave the forest after having overheard the callous remarks of the two guards. Farain swore and quickly teleported to the creeper, and then with a firm grip on the squirming mob, he teleported back to a clearing a safe distance away from the guards. "Why did you stop me?" the creeper asked with an angry hiss, "They were laughing about the torture and murder of my chieftain's son, they deserve to die!" The creeper made an attempt to get past the enderman. Farain sighed and tackled the creeper. "They will die," said a low voice from the forest, "Just not right now". Farain and the creeper looked up from where they were sprawled on the ground and into the into the glowing white eyes of their leader. "You and your clan are not the only ones to have lost someone or something to King Meneas's ruthlessness," said Herobrine as he stepped into the clearing.
