What's up my eager readers! This chapter is gonna be one of my favourites because it introduces a new character/antagonist. Anyways guys, ENJOY!
The smoke stacks we saw were in the general direction of the village! We jumped out of the spring, threw on our clothes, and started to run through the forest towards the village. As we neared the village, I unsheathed my sword and Samantha hid behind me. We burst through the opening and then froze in horror.
An army of about fifty men and also...skeletons, armed with bows and swords, were going on a rampage, killing every villager they could find. They set most of the houses on fire and trashed the rest. One of the guards saw me and readied his bow. I stood still, gripping my katana tighter and tighter as I watched the scene in front of me. The archer fired an arrow at me, but as I came to my senses, I launched from my spot towards him, and with one quick slash, I cut him in half. I looked at my blood soaked sword and then at the dead guard. I looked back up to see three more guards aiming arrows at me, but just like the last guy, I easily slashed through them.
Most of the guards focused their attention onto me now, and with ten guards surrounding me and telling me to drop the sword, I did. As the blade fell however, I readied my claws and lunged for the man directly in front of me. I plunged one of my clawed hands into his chest and with the other, I grabbed him and threw him at a different guard. All of the other guards were now distracted so I took the moment to randomly lunge at and kill guards until there were only four left. The four that were left attempted to run, so I picked up one of the many dropped bows and arrows and started shooting them down.
"You are ruining his plan.", said a deep, distorted voice from behind me. I turned quickly, still wielding the bow, and saw a tall man wearing a black, full -body suit that even covered his face. On his chest he wore a breastplate with weird symbols on it and in other vital locations was just iron plates. "I advise you to stop," In his hand, darkness formed and then shaped into a sword. "...or I will have to take charge."
His threat held no weight in my eyes, but I lowered my bow and told him, "Well, tell 'him' that if he ever sends people to attack this village again, I will kill you and then I will kill him." I walked away from him and joined the surviving villagers trying to save the buildings. I looked back to see the mysterious man call for the remaining troops and walk off into the forest. I looked back at the dead guards and the piles of bones from the skeleton and I said to myself, "I'm in Minecraft."
After walking for a few minutes, the mysterious man pulled out a glowing sphere which projected an image of who is most likely his boss. "is it done?", the boss said, also using a distorted voice.
"No, we ran into some interference."
"Well, whatever sort of interference you ran into must have been really strong to have beaten you and the army.", the boss said in a very sarcastic tone.
"I didn't fight him. I was gonna, but then I noticed something that should be impossible."
"What in the world could you have noticed that-"
"He was a wolven.", the mystery man interrupted his boss. This new information had shocked the boss into silence, but he recollected himself soon after. "I didn't know what to do, da-"
"First of all," the boss started, "I have warned you before of saying that word. Secondly, what I want you to do is regroup with your...'colleagues' and then capture him." The boss ended the call and the mystery man walked off to find his 'colleagues'.
We spent at least five hours repairing the village before it was able to house the remaining villagers. Lucky for Samantha and I, Ellen and Margaret dodged all of the danger and made it out okay, but our house got burnt down. Samantha's family had to stay with a friend, but since there wasn't any room left for me, I had to spend a few nights in the church.
It was most likely midnight by the time I woke up, so I walked outside of the church and into the cold. I unsheathed my katana once again to see it still covered in blood. I walked over to the well near the church and cleaned it, but as I sheathed the sword, I noticed Ellen sneaking out of the house with a bow and a full quiver of arrows. With nothing else to do, I decided to follow her.
She was rushing through the forest as if she knew where she was going. She stopped by this giant rock and she started to lightly tap on it, but to my surprise, a passageway opened up and Ellen quickly ran into it. After a minute or two Ellen sprinted out of the hole and back to the village. I tiptoed over to the rock and lightly tapped on it like Ellen did and it once again opened up. I walked in carefully, making sure not to alert anyone of my presence.
The cave was hollowed out to form some sort of home/cave system. At the end of the passageway, there was a living room of sorts inside a domed area. Footsteps started filling the cave with sound; someone was coming, which meant that I had to hide!
I ran across to the kitchen looking area and hid behind a stone counter. I heard a high-pitched female voice say, "I can't believe Ellen had all of these spare arrows! This will help us survive for at least another year or so."
"Don't get too excited, she said that this was the rest of her arrows for now.", a male said.
I started to lean outwards to get a better look at the two talking, but as I was about to see the two, I tripped and knocked over something off the counter. I quickly hid back behind the counter, but the two were coming closer to me, most likely armed!
Alright guys, hope you enjoyed and also I wanna say thanks to Mr. Science Dog 2 who let me use his character, AJ, from his story 'Wolven'. Anyways, Seeya!
