Prologue/Skull's POV
"HEROBRINE" Our lookout shouts down from his perch "His army is here! Ready the defenses!"
"**** I thought we would have more time" Captain Thomas my commander mumbles under his breath while eyeing the poorly made defenses that we had put up only an hour ago "We're terribly under manned, we have almost no arrows, the only food that we have is rotten flesh and we're right smack middle of where Herobrine's army is coming through with Herobrine himself charging towards us." hearing him I quickly feel a shiver down my spine and my blood freeze "Sir how did he get past the first legion though? Maybe their terribly wounded and we can finish them off!" I say hoping to cheer him up but knowing that my words are a lie. " I'm sorry lad but even you who just joined the army know that today is the final battle of the 12th legion" he says sadly "but we need the men to fight to at least slow them down so that reinforcements can arrive… if they ever do." Right then we see the men preparing the defenses and going into total lockdown he then pulls out his diamond sword and giving me an iron one I know that he speaks the truth but I also know that if I go down I'm taking down at least a couple zombies and skeletons. Thomas jumps to the battlements and begins his speech to give us hope.
"Come on! They had to fight the 1st 2nd and the 3rd legions so that means their weak! To them this is just a place but to us its our home turf and we have the advantage here! We have to defend our homes and our families from that demon Hero… UH" My commander shouts right before an arrow pierces him through the chest spilling blood all over us. Everything seems to slow down as I jump to the battlements and see the skeleton that fired the deadly arrow and I pull back an arrow on a bow that I took from an archer. As I release the arrow I see the army charging towards us and I suddenly realize that every minecraftian is saying good bye to their family and the look in their eyes that says that they will not be coming back. My vision tints red and I pull the sword from my belt and prepare for the bloodiest battle I thought that I would be in that was also going to be my last.
How wrong I was.
Authors note:
Commander Thomas was actually thought up by my sister and she said to just kill him off so I did. Also I NEED OCs okay? I can't come up with everyone so I need help! Also I will update new chapters every chance I get so if I can't update then its probably because of writers block or something.
