-Deep in the Caverns-
"Dark, very dark down here."said Tim taking out a Torch and walking forward."oh, look.
That looks like Iron Ore"said Tim walking up to the glowing Ore taking out the Copper Pickaxe and began mining the Iron Ore.
"Wow, that was a large vane of Iron Ore, hopefully i can use it to make better tools, weapon and Armor."said Tim
Tim looked over and saw some more Ores and began mining them when he heard a noise coming towards him.
He quickly turned around pulling out the Copper Sword and saw a Skeleton coming towards him.
The Skeleton began attacking him doing quite a bit of damage, but he wasn't about to give up without a fight. He swung away at the Skeleton and finally took it out, which took quite a few hits, as he picked up the Bones and coins left behind.
"geez, the monsters down here are very tough."said Tim drinking a lesser Healing Potion and moving on after mining the remaining Ore in the area.
Something shiny ahead caught his attention and he was amazed at what he saw. A shining red heart was their giving off a red light. Then he remembered a flashback of the guide telling him about these."these are the Heart Crystals Zach was talking about!"said Tim
-Flashback-
"when you go to the caverns, look for red Heart shaped crystals. They are very helpful and will increase your health by one full heart which equals to 20 extra Health."said Zach
"Right, well, i am off. I promise to return home with plenty of new Materials, and maybe even return a bit Stronger"said Tim nodding
-Flashback Ends-
Tim nodded"i know what i must do"said Tim taking out the Copper Pickaxe and breaking away at the Heart Crystal which shattered into a bright white Light.
"Arrrgh, so bright. I feel it, my health increasing."Tim said feeling the power of the heart crystal flow through him.
The light had finally dulled down and dissapeared. Tim smiled"yes, i feel a bit stronger now that i have extra health"said Tim. He looked over as 2 more Skeletons came to attack.
"Back you Monsters, Back!"shouted Tim swinging the Copper Sword and taking out the Skeletons,
unfortonetly; he lost quite a bit of Health in the fight. Two Skeleons are indeed worse than one.
"ugh, i'm almost out of Lesser Healing Potions."said Tim.
Suddenly, a Chest on an upper ledge caught his eye and Tim took out some Rope and threw it up as it latched on to the ledge and he began to climb it.
He reached the top of the ledge and walked over to the Chest, and opened it.
Inside the Chest was a Spear, some Lesser Healing Potions, some more Rope,
and about 20 Silver Coins.
"Wow, look at this Spear. I think this will do as a better weapon than this Copper Sword for now."said Tim taking all the loot out of the Chest and decided to take the Chest for storing stuff at home.
-Meanwhile, back at the Village-
"Do you really think Tim will be okay out there? i mean the young lad is still just starting out."said Milton
"of course, he wil be fine. I think with enough hard work, he will become a great Hero"said Zach
"so where is he now?"asked Milton
"I suspect he is still underground in the caverns. I hope he is doing alright down there, there are dangerous enemies down there after all such as Skeletons."
said Zach.
"Yes, i have confidence he will bring home lots of glorious, shiny Coins."
said Milton
"well, one thing is for sure, he will need lots of proper training to take on his first boss challenge as the Hero."said Zach
"Oh no, you can not mean the Eye of Cthulu, not that terrible beast!"
said Milton.
"i'm afraid so"said Zach sighing.
"but do you really think he will gain the skills to battle with that Eye of Cthulu beast?"asked Milton.
"i do. He may be starting out. But i'm sure he can do it. If we believe in our Hero"said Zach.
"yes, that is true. Any luck bringing more NPC's to our Village yet?"
asked Milton.
"Well, if Tim breaks at least one Heart Crystal, we could attract a Nurse to this Village. And trust me, a nurse would be very handy around here."said Zach.
-Amy The Nurse Has Arrived!-
"Hello, i am Amy. I am looking for a place to settle down."said Amy.
"Hello Amy, there is a home right over there you can settle down in."said Zach.
"Thank you, any sign of our Hero yet?"asked Amy looking around
"he is still down underground mining, our only hope is that he makes it back safely"said Milton
"so i guess, i had better go prepare as he might need healing when he returns."said Amy walking into a nearby house.
-meanwhile back underground-
"Wow, another Chest."said Tim excitedly opening the Chest.
This Chest contained Shurikens, more Lesser Healing Potions, Torches and a Magic Mirror and even more Silver Coins.
"What does this Magic Mirror do?"said Tim looking at it.
suddenly a voice sounded through his head"when you gaze into the Magic Mirror. The path Home will be revealed"said the Voice.
"So, it can take me back home?"said Tim"that is amazing"
Tim suddenly started feeling strange, as he was beggining to witness a terrifying Vision.
"arrgggghh, what is this! i see some terrifying giant Eye creature!"said Tim.
-In the Vision-
"Wh...What are you? LEAVE THE VILLAGE ALONE!"
The Eye of Cthulu charged at Tim and he bravely took out his Sword.
"BRING IT ON FOUL BEAST!"said Tim as the Eye of Cthulu closed in on him as the Vision faded to black
-Back in Reality-
"Is that a vision of the future? will that thing really attack the Village and i am the one who must fight it?"said Tim confused.
"ugh, i need to go home, that's enough adventure for one day."said Tim pulling out the Magic Mirror
"Magic Mirror, please take me home."said Tim gazing into the mirror as a bright light suddenly teleported back to the Village.
Sunset was now upon the Village. A door slowly opened and Zach peeked out the door and ran out shouting."Tim has returned!"Said Zach Happily anxious to hear all about his adventure today.
Milton and Amy came running out as well.
"You look injured a bit, come with me"said Amy concerned.
Tim followed Amy to her home and she healed him back to perfect condition.
"i have healed you for free this time, but i'm afraid from here on out Healing will cost some coins, i do not work for free, you know but i made an exception this time."said Amy
"i understand"said Tim nodding
suddenly, the door opened and Zach and Milton came in.
"Tim, how was your first adventure, please tell us all about it"Zach said sitting in a chair
Milton sat down as well
"ah yes, i would like to hear as well"said Milton
So Tim jumped into a story about his first adventure, about killing the Skeletons,
finding the Heart Crystal, finding the Chests and even showed off the Spear.
"congrats Tim, a new Weapon. Oh by the way, why don't you use the Furnace over there, to turn all that Ore into Bars. Maybe make some Armor and better tools."said Zach.
Tim walked over to the furnace and put in the Ore and turned it all into Bars.
Then he walked over to the Crafting Table.
"You will need an Anvil to Craft Tools and stuff"said Zach.
Tim nodded and made an Iron Anvil and set it down.
"now to Craft some better Tools and some Armor"said Tim
Tim crafted a full set of Iron Armor, a Silver Pickaxe, and a Silver Axe.
and began putting on the Iron Armor.
"yes, an upgrade. I feel a lot Stronger."said Tim.
Tim sat back down and finally told them the weird part of the adventure,
about the Vision he witnessed.
"So, you saw the Eye of Cthulu attack the Village and you were fighting it?"said Milton.
"so it's name is Eye of Cthulu?"Asked Tim
"Yes. It is a terrible beast. It is destined that the chosen Hero must fight it at some point and that's you"
said Zach
"So the Vision was a future Event that will soon take place.
And it is up to me to defeat it?"said Tim
"yes, this is why you will need all the help you can get.
We should go ahead and extend the Village so more NPC's can move in."said Zach.
"right, and if we work together, we can get it done"Tim said.
"Yes, let's extend this Village!"milton said.
"yes, we shall begin expanding Tomorrow, but right now Night is upon us, and we do not want to be out at night"said Zach.
And so they all grabbed a mug and began a toast to celebrate the sucess of our Hero's first Adventure, and celebrated through the Night, until finally heading to their homes to sleep and rest up for another day.
There you have it everyone, the second Chapter. I really hope you enjoyed it and i hope i did alright. Please leave ideas on how to make this story better and how to improve it.
