Dear Leif,
The kingdom has recognized your superior gathering skills and has a great task for you. The Kingdom has been attacked by a horde of creepers and needs your assistance for rebuilding the community. Needed are as follows: Cobblestone, Coal, Wool, Wood, Iron, and a Golden Apple. All of these resources are necessary for rebuilding the Kingdom.
Rumor has it, as well, that a neighboring island is planning to declare war upon Sallitomin, so Gunpowder, Sand, extra Wood, and Diamonds would also be greatly appreciated.
Of course, your assistance will not go unrewarded. As payment, you and your entire village will receive six gold blocks each. Please help the Kingdom.
Greatest regards,
Sallitomin Scribe
I read through the letter several times, saying out loud, "This doesn't make sense. How could the kingdom know about me if they barely even recognize Caras itself? But on the other hand, six gold blocks! That's a lot of money. And there'd be some for everyone! For me, for Darius, for the Cosmo family and for the black smith. And there'd be some for Anabel Rose, the love of my life. She barely knows I exist, but she will, and we'll get married. I know it. "Alright, I'll do it," for Anabel. "How should I send my reply letter, Darius?"
"Don't worry about that, kid. You write the letter, and I'll take it to the Kingdom.
"Thanks, Darius. I owe you one. The next week I work for you, I'll work for half price." I only made three iron nuggets a week, which is practically nothing. But the Kingdom is so far away, half pay sounds worth it. I left work and headed to my cabin to stock up on a few supplies. Just the necessities: Water, wood, and cobble. I stepped out of my door and stood at the edge of the woods, bracing myself for the first step of an adventure.
