Day 2: Mining and gathering food
A new day was born and the birds came back to sing their lullaby. The animals enjoyed living on the mountains covered with jungles and its desert surrounding half of it. When the survivors woke up, they made a plan about what they would do this day.
Yuri Lowell started the conversation: "Alright, guys. If we want to survive long enough to attract the rescues' attention so that we can return home, we'll need to chose what we want to do and we must not do the same thing. Who goes first?"
Megaman proposed: "I will go back to the village and ask them for tools that we might need here."
The ex-knight approved: "Good idea. Like that, we'll have tools for mining and more. What did you plan to do today, Mister Gath?"
Cho'Gath answered: "I will craft a pickaxe and start mining."
The boy told him: "Perfect! We'll need ores to create new equipments and coal for light. Now that you chose, I saw a forest near us and I'll go get some food."
The three survivors got to work. When Yuri got down the mountain to the forest side, he noticed a long and huge crevasse that he couldn't see how deep it was.
He thought: [When I'll be back at the safehouse, I should tell them about that hole near our rest place.]
By walking next to it, he realized that the crevasse wasn't that wide. He succeeded to go to the other side of the hole and searched for food. The choice was enormous: Chickens ran all around the trees and even some of them laid eggs. Cows seemed in perfect shape and calm. Pigs looked big and beefy. Last but least, sheeps were coated of their own wool. In the village, the blue bomber went to visit the villagers and ask them about tools or help. Sadly, they didn't have any tools but, instead, they gave the robot a oven and some wheat to make bread. They also gave him a strange orb that would allow someone to talk to the others. As for the gentledemon, he started mining. First, he proceeded by digging a hole under the cabin and built a ladder. On the side of the mountain, he put stairs that descended at a specific height and dug inside the mountain to link it with the ladder. Then, the demon dug downward by making spiral stairs. A few hours later, he reached the bottom of a crevasse. He decided to explore it and found huge sources of coal and iron. With them, the survivors could craft better tools and weapons as well as create a distress signal in order to attract a traveller's attention. Around 12'o'clock, the three survivors returned to the safehouse and started to make lunch.
Yuri asked: "How did things go?"
Megaman answered: "The villagers didn't have any tools but, instead, they gave me some furniture and the permission to take as much wheat as we will need. Also, they asked me to give this to you."
The robot took out a red glowing orb and gave it to the former knight.
Curious, the man asked: "Alright, what does it do?"
The blue bomber replied: "It will allow you to talk to us by linking its magic to either my communication system or Cho'Gath's telepathy."
"Excellent! And don't worry about the tools, we can make some too. For me, I found plenty of animals at the mountain's bottom and we'll need to build a farm to maintain a descent food amount. There is also a huge crevasse near us so we'll have to be careful when we go down. As for you, sir, how was the mining?"
The gentledemon told him: "I made a hole on the floor and put a ladder, there is a stair on the side of the mountain to go down the shaft from the outside. Then, I dug in a spiral pattern to cover more ground and I reached the bottom of a crevasse. I mined a lot of coal and iron and I am waiting for a oven to melt the metal."
"Good! I presume that the crevasse that you were talking appears to be the one that I discovered at the surface. I'm sure that we can find more valuable ores if we dig deeper. After diner, we'll go down the mine and start digging."
When Yuri and Megaman were done eating, they placed the oven and went down the ladder. As for the demon, he placed some coal inside the oven and the iron to melt it. As hours passed, he received messages from the two others:
"Can anyone come below? I need to go back to the safehouse because I'm badly injured."
"I'd like to but I'm short on food and I need to go back into the forest to get some."
Cho'Gath told them: "I will go underground to keep mining."
The demon went down and started mining. He dug deeper and found new raw materials: Gold could be used into chemistry to make potions, redstone would give them a soucre of energy as well as the possibility to craft compasses and watches. Then, diamonds being the toughest raw material, they would be able to mine the unbreakable obsidian. But, when he kept mining, he heard abnormal voices:
"Cho'Gath... Cho'Gath... You shouldn't have done this..."
"Who is there? Show yourself!"
"You will meet a terrible fate... You shouldn't have done this..."
The voices terrorized the demon: "Ah! Ah! Please! Someone, help me!"
"What is going on. sir?"
"The voices! I can hear them! Demons talk to me! Help!"
"Stay somewhere safe. I can't reach you because I'm in the forest."
"I'm at the safehouse."
Cho'Gath dug a hole, entered it and blocked it to rest for the night.
Note: I will try to describe what my brothers do as much as possible but it is hard to do so when I can barely see what they are doing. When I was mining, I heard some strange howlings and I freaked out.
