I walked out of my home with my satchel hung over my shoulder. Some of my long brown hair fell to the front, and I quickly moved it back. My deep blue-gray eyes looked around my village. Farmer, my best friend, was farming the crops. That was his job. Technically, he and I lived together. He wore a light brown smock and a dark brown stripe running down the center. I walked up to Farmer. "I am going mining," I told him as I adjusted the satchel on my shoulder.
Farmer looked up from his work. His emerald green eyes boring into me. He hated the idea that I had to leave the village, beyond the walls. Yeah... we set up walls. They were made of cobblestone to prevent the Endermen from removing the blocks, allowing the mobs to enter. Archers took place on the walls and towers around. A watcher was keeping an eye on the Watchtower that resided in the center of our village. Our crafter lived underneath the tower in a room called a crafting chamber.
Now, I know what you are going to say. Isn't this supposed to be Gameknight999's point of view, and not some random villager girl? Well... yes, but he was out trying to defeat this supposed strong opponent called Herobrine. And this was a different village from Gameknight's. Maybe one day I could go with them and fight for Minecraft. As of now, I was to go out mining. Unlike other villagers, I actually look like a user. Odd, right?
"Be safe, and come back before dusk!" Farmer said watching me leave for the entrance. I waved at him letting him know I heard.
I knew he was worried, but I got my iron sword, I will be fine. I dipped my head at the Warriors. They opened the gate allowing me to pass. "If I don't come back, you know the drill!" I called out, walking backwards. I watched them nod. I felt out of place with my looks. I didn't have the big noses, nor the unibrow. I shook the thought away, turning to make my way to a nearby cave. I brought out my stone pickaxe, swinging it over my shoulder. I had a few of them in my satchel. This one was special. It came from a friend who had died in that Great War with the User-that-is-not-a-user. I missed him greatly.
As for me, I was somehow sucked into the game, much like Gameknight, but I never figured out how to escaped. On top of that, I have little to no memory of the real world. Not even my family. Now I permanently had a username tag hovering over my head, but no server thread like most users have when entering the server. I guess I would be a user-that-is-not-a-user myself. My username tag said WarriorMoonstar, but the villagers came to know me as Moonstar, or Moon, even Moony. Since I also had no memory of my real name, I got used to be called that.
I soon made it to the cave mouth that I always enter. An eary breeze came from the darkness that caused me to shiver. Something wasn't right. I looked around expecting to see a creeper or spider. Nothing. I sighed, placing my special pickaxe away to bring out my iron sword in my right hand, and torches in the left. Darkness engulfed me, and I could already hear the mobs. I saw the purple eyes of the endermen. They just stared. They did not look away. I was not paying attention and a creeper came out of nowhere. It lit up a few times then exploded without warning. I gasped from the sudden impact causing me to fly and hit the ground not too far away.
'That really hurt!' I thought. I rose back to my feet quickly lighting the area. Mobs were practically everywhere! What the heck! I have never seen so many. Then I saw why. They were having one of those gatherings. And a guy with glowing white eyes was standing on a higher place. He wore a dark smock, hard to tell in the dim light. I stared wide eyed at the man.
He narrowed his eyes at me. "Get her!" He cried out furiously. Instantly, the mobs charged for me. They climbed over one another trying to get me.
I panicked. 'Farmer was right to worry!' Scrambling, I turned running back toward the entrance of the cave.
"Don't let her escape!" The man cried out once more. Instantly, a wall of endermen blocked my path.
I came to a complete stop, almost stumbled and fall. My heart pounded in fear, feeling as if it was about to explode. I did not dare look at the endermen, in fear I would enrage them all. I looked behind me to see that the mobs were now inching closer, and closer to me. The only thing I knew what to do was raise my iron sword, readying for the fight. 'Oh, StarClan!' I screeched in my mind. 'I am gonna die!' But I did not want to die without a good fight.
One of the spiders leapt at me, and I dodged swiping my sword at the spider. It flashed red. It turned glaring at me angrily ready to leap toward me again. This time, all the mobs joined in. Creepers, spiders, and zombies. The endermen just kept blocking my way out, unable to join the fight. Good, I did not want them to. I continued to attack the spiders only to have the mobs behind me attack. As I killed a mob, three hearts had been diminished from mine. I growled irritated, but it was because I was afraid. I spun striking the mobs in range. It didn't help since I got myself dizzy.
Not too long later, I was brought to my knees. It felt like I only had half a heart left. If I die, I won't respawn. Panic filled my mind. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for the final strike. "Enough!" Cried out the man. I slowly opened my eyes, looking up into his white eyes.
My own widened fearfully. I then looked down. "If you are going to finish me, then do it," I breathed. I had no strength, and my stomach growled. I knew I wouldn't regenerate my health at this point. Why did I leave without food?!
"If I wanted you dead, I would have let my mobs finish you." The man spoke calmly, with a hint of growl.
I looked at him confused. He was grinning at me. "Why let me live?" I asked, regretting the question.
"I have a plan," he told me, his smile widening even more. "You will gain the trust of the User-that-is-not-a-user," saying the name caused him to momentarily scowl before grinning again, "and report to one of my mobs when you get the chance." He looked around the group. "Fail me, and I won't hesitate to kill you." I stare at him fearfully. "Do you understand?" He demanded.
I knew I was defeated. I had no other choice. Well, technically I did. "Yes, I will do as you command." I hung my head in defeat.
"Good~" he purrs delightfully. He knew he had won this little battle, and that his plan was succeeding. I watched him kneel down to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. I winced as his eyes brighten. Whatever he was doing to me, it kind of hurt.
'What was he doing?' I thought fearfully. The man soon stood up again. I looked over to him. My health was regenerated. I slowly stood up. Was that all he wanted to do? torture me?
The man grinned evilly. "I would suggest keeping your emotions under control, or you could blow your cover. I have given you some of my powers. Use it wisely." He said telling the other mobs that their job was done. "I will know where you are, and if you betray me. I have not given you much, so do not thunk you can take me with your new abilities." He then vanished in thin air. Only an enderman lingered around. He watched me carefully before vanishing himself.
When they were gone, I collapsed, crying. All that fear that was bottled up finally came out. I had thought I was gonna die. I covered my face with my hands. Maybe I should have let him kill me. I do not want to try and kill Gameknight. After some moments of crying, I regained myself. I wiped away the tears then rose to my feet. I noticed something as I rose. My eyes were glowing bright blue, well I could only see a blue glow on my hand. I was confused about this so I made my way out of the cave.
Along the way, I saw mobs looking at me, some where about to attack till they saw my eyes. They soon lowered their gazes and backed away. They didn't even challenge me! I stared at them wide-eyed. I continued walking trying to find a water. I kept looking wearily at the mobs, fearing they would attack me. I did not want to go through that again.
Not too long later, I found a decent sized pond. Looking into the water, I saw that my eyes looked normal, but they glowed. I remembered the man's words, 'I suggest keeping your emotions under control.' I sat there taking a few breaths imagining myself helping farmer and having a calm life. Instantly I noticed my eyes dimmed looking like their old selves again. Rising to my feet, I made my way back to the village.
A zombie came out at me, followed by three others. I watched them calmly. Whatever powers that man gave me, might as well see how it works; but what if I attacked these mobs? Would it make me a betrayal toward him? I shook the thought away. I glared at them, allowing my eyes to flash their blue light. It seemed to work as they stopped in their tracks looking surprised.
Just as I thought I was safe, I heard clinking and looked over. A cave spider leapt at me. Why was there a cave spider?! It tried to bite me, but I kept its poisonous mandibles away from me. I soon knocked it off of me, drawing my sword and scrambling to my feet, ready for a fight. I growled irritated causing my eyes to glow bright blue. The spiders hadn't noticed my eyes till it was too late. With blinding speed, I had killed them all, landing accurate strikes. What was left was one spider who had lowered its head in defeat. One more strike on this one and it dies. I raised my sword toward the beast.
"Pleasssse," the spider seemed to beg. "I didn't know it wassss you."
I stopped there. It could speak? I calmed myself. "It is fine," I sheathed my weapon. "Just let the others know about me, and we won't have this same effect." I watched the spider dip its head then crawled away. I placed a hand on my chest breathing heavily. I wasn't exhausted, I was terrified.
I soon returned to my village. It had gotten dark, but that was a few minutes ago that happened. I was currently trying to keep myself calm so my eyes wouldn't glow. It was easier said than done.
I approached the walls looking up to the guards waving to them. "Open the gates!" Called one of the guards. I watched as they opened them allowing me to enter. I was soon greeted by an angry Farmer.
"Where were you?" He asked. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
I watched farmer as calmly as I could. "No, I am completely fine."
"Not according to your shirt." Farmer growled. I looked to my shirt seeing it was tattered from the fight I had. "Get in the house, we will discuss your punishment." I sighed making my way toward our home. Farmer watched as I made my way there. Looking around, I saw the villager's crafter outside with a few guards. They all looked worried, but angry relief was now glinting in their eyes.
Inside, I took a seat at the table. I did not dare look up to Farmer, who had also entered the building. He closed the door after him, taking a seat next to me. "Why was the village crafter out of his safe place?" I asked nervously, still not looking up to Farmer.
"He was about to send out a search party," I hear Farmer growled. "You got the whole village worried. They were about to solute the dead, but I told them to search for you first." I stared at him wide eyed, almost forgetting to keep myself calm.
Closing my eyes, since they began to glow again, tears began to fall down my cheeks. "I...I am sorry," I tried to keep myself under control. "I never meant to worry anyone."
"That is why your punishment is that you cannot leave the village," Farmer said. I looked sharply at him, completely forgetting about my eyes. Good thing he was not looking toward me at that moment. I looked back down, closing my eyes. "Not without a Warrior, that is." Now I was shocked.
"Really?" I asked happily. My eyes dimmed to normal.
Farmer nods, "Yes." He seemed to making dinner. "Just as long as you take one, you can go."
My smile soon disappeared, feeling nervous. "Then can I take a Warrior to join Gameknight's army?" I asked, my fingers clenched on my lap.
Farmer looked at me angrily. "Absolutely not!" He growls, I winced from his harsh tone.
I thought of something quickly. Then I had it. "Maybe Gameknight can help me get back to the real world." It was a lie. Since I came into this game at such a young age, I barely even remembered that world. All I knew was the life of Minecraft.
I saw Farmer's green eyes dull with sadness. "You really want to go back?" He asked, lowering his head.
Now I felt very guilty. Why did I have to say that. Of course I did not want to leave this village. Everyone here was like one big family to me. I lowered my gaze. "Yes," I responded. "I want to know what it is like there. What it looks like, and who my parents are." Okay, yeah. Those were good reasons for me to leave.
Farmer slowly turned away from me. I knew he was really sad. "Very well," he sighed, "you leave an dawn. We will discus this with the crafter after our meal." I nodded, though, he could not see the nod.
Later that night, almost at midnight, we made our way to the big building made of cobblestone. It looked like some kind of church. This was where our crafter, like every other village, resided. Without a crafter, the villagers became The Lost, and would have to spread out to find a new village.
One of the villagers stood guard. Upon seeing us, broke the single block of cobblestone to reveal a vertical pathway. It was completely dark. Farmer made his way down the steps, soon disappearing into the darkness. I followed not to long after. As I climbed down, the villager placed the block back. My eyes strained to see in the pitch darkness of the passageway. It felt like a zombie would come out of the darkness to attack me. I let my eyes brighten, lighting the passageway with a blue hue. Seeing as I was safe, I continued down the ladder.
Not too long later, I saw light at the bottom. I dimmed my eyes back to normal as I neared. I was not going to let Farmer find out what actually happened. He would either not trust me anymore, along with the other villagers, or freak.
I stepped off the ladder then went to stand next to Farmer. He had been patiently waiting for me. We both walked down the lit passageway. The end of the tunnel was quite hard to see. I felt uneasy. Our crafter was nice, but when he finds out my plan, he most likely will not be pleased. This happened last time, but I did not have the idea of traveling with Gameknight till just now.
It did not take us too long before we were standing in front of an iron door. Farmer knocked on it getting an armored warrior's attention. He peered through the windowed door then opened it seeing it was not a threat. We entered the huge room. Instantly I could hear the villagers working. How could a crafter stand this much racket?
Farmer stepped up to our crafter, who was inspecting everyone's work. "Crafter," Farmer spoke with a serious tone. "We need to talk."
The crafter turned toward Farmer. Her deep green eyes looking at him with concern. "Is something wrong?" she asked curiously then looked over to me when she noticed I was standing there. I looked at her only to look away to the ground.
Farmer looked over to me with narrowed eyes. "Not really," he responds. "she wants to join Gameknight's group to find her way back home." He did not sound pleased when he said that.
The crafter's eyes dulled a bit. "I new this day would come," her old voice spoke. "All users want to leave back to their physical world." She began to think for a moment, mumbling to herself. After a few seconds, she finally spoke, "If this is her wish, I cannot stop her."
Farmer looked surprised at the crafter. "I had also told her that she will be taking a warrior whenever she leaves the village." He sounded like it was more of a demand. I knew he was just concerned over my safety.
The crafter shook her head. "This is a journey she will take alone," she told Farmer, turning to get back to her work.
Farmer took a step forward. "What about her safety?!" he growls. "What if a creeper comes out to explode and she perishes?!"
The crafter turned back to him. "She will be fine," she reassures him. "She already proved she can take care of herself." She was about to continue walking, but stopped again. "If it makes you feel better, she can go on horseback." She motioned for a villager to approach, they did. He was carrying a saddle with a set of iron horse armor. Another approached with a normal set of armor with an iron sword. The crafter motioned toward me. They went over handing me all the equipment.
"Th...thank you," I dipped my head, putting all the materials in my satchel.
"Be safe," the crafter said.
Farmer lead the way out, he still did not look very pleased. "I will," I responded before following Farmer out of the chamber.
Outside, Farmer gave me a sharp look. "You will not stop to rest," he harshly told me. "Find Gameknight's group and do not ever separate from them." I nodded, looking down. I heard hooves thudding along the ground. I looked up to see a pitch black horse. I was guessing they were giving me the horse since it could blend in with the darkness. I put the saddle on the horse. Before I could mount, Farmer embraced me with a hug. "Please be safe, and if you decide to come back, I will always welcome you home," he looked at me with tear filled eyes.
"I will be fine," I reassured, mounting the horse when he let go. I kicked the horse to get him started. The gates opened as the horse walked toward them. Farmer followed, only to stop at the gates. When I exited, I stopped and turned the horse a bit. I waved and they waved back. I kicked the horse and galloped toward the direction I thought they had headed in.
