Chapter 2: A new friend
Steve stepped out of his house, to find the boiling sun bursting down rays of light onto his face. He shaded his eyes, and then walked aimlessly about to think of a direction to travel in.
"Damn griefers! Always causing trouble." He thought to himself.
After a while he decided to head north towards the Sunset Mountains, where many griefers resorted to upon being caught. He hoped to find a house with a sign reading "Qwerty123's house" maybe.
Steve was just about to set foot to the Sunset Mountains when an odd looking person crept up to him from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. Steve flinched in terror and quickly turned round.
"Do you MIND?" he shouted out loud.
"Do you mind?" the man said back.
"Err… do I know you, sir?" Steve asked.
"Of course you don't, foolish one." He replied. "My name is Dex… and I have hear d about your chest being griefed by Qwerty123, correct?"
"…Yes, you are correct Dex…" Steve muttered.
"Ah, brilliant. Now, I have been griefed by this person too…" He said, and then hung his head down. "I had a cake, a cake fit for a king. When I came back it was gone, and the Gods said it was the very same person that griefed you… They said it was…"
"…Qwerty123?"
"Yes, Qwerty123. Quite a username, actually. One would have to be very early in the game to acquire something like that."
"Well, soon that precious username is about to be removed, as I am searching for him and are trying to kill him."
"Odd." Dex said. He began to pace the dirt beneath him. "It so happens I am on the same mission, err…"
"Steve is the name."
"…Ah, Steve, so it seems, I am on the same mission to find and kill that person."
"So, will you come with me?" Steve asked.
"I may come with you, I may not. Such is a decision that requires thought, Steve."
"Okay, so you won't come?"
"I never said I will come or I would not." Dex replied. "It is just that I am a trained warrior with much experience, and to go with someone as inexperienced as you…"
"Inexperienced? You think I am inexperienced?"
"Yes, you have not exactly proven any skill you have possession of."
"Inexperienced? I will show you the experience I have!"
Steve then drew out his meter long diamond sword and began to parry it. Then he performed some slashes in the air, to the impressive looks of Dex.
"My my, wonderful. My assumption was incorrect, I see."
"Don't mention it; it is my job."
"Anyway Steve, I would recommend you getting some rest. Tomorrow we shall depart to the Sunset Mountains, yes?"
Steve began to think.
"Yes… I would like that, Dex."
"Okay. Meet here at 7 o' clock sharp. Be sure to be ready."
"Okay Dex," Steve said, "I will make it."
"Good. Okay, goodnight."
Rex then travelled past Steve and into the horizon.
Steve knew that he had this in the bag with Dex with him.
