Chapter 3: Trust in her
We arrived at the village. I thought it was a simple walk in and walk out, but we were stopped at the front gate of village by a rather tall woman. She wore a sleeve less shirt which covered her chest and wore two pieces of cloth stitched to a belt which covered the front and back of the top half of here thighs. There were circular balls on every joint of here body from her fingers to her knees. She had short straight silver hair, below them were red eyes full of disgust pointed towards us. I was easily able to walk in through, but it was a different story for Terra.
I looked behind me to see if she was there but she was stuck at gate. I went back to see if everything is alright, until the tall woman suddenly punched her on her shoulder. Terra fell to the ground. I rushed to the gate to see what was going on.
"Terra!, are you hurt!?" I asked worriedly.
"I'm alright" Terra answered while she was holding her shoulder. I brought her back up to her feet and looked towards the tall woman.
"Hey! What was that for!?" I shouted. Her eyes grew narrow after I asked. It took her a few seconds before she responded to my question.
"She is not allowed to enter the village" she pointed at Terra and answered in an annoyed tone.
"Why!" I shouted impatient for an answer.
"Because, she is a mob" she answered were with the same tone.
"What!?" I looked at Terra out of surprise and was speechless. She had her head down guilty.
Mobs, Mobs in Minecraft are divided in two groups. The first group being friendly mobs consisting of animals like cows, pigs and chickens, while the other group consists of monsters like zombies and skeletons which are not friendly to players and villagers. I thought that this girl was a native or another player, but not a mob. Even though I heard those words I still couldn't accept that this girl was a mob.
"How would you know that she is a mob?" I asked.
I could tell that she was getting really fed up with all the questions I was asking, but I had to know for sure if Terra was a mob or not.
"I'm an iron golem don't you see" She said.
As soon as she said those words I took a long look at her one more time. I then noticed a thin vine wrapped around her right arm and right leg. That explains her body structure and her actions towards Terra.
Iron golems are like body guards to players and villagers over 3-4 blocks tall these mobs were born to serve and protect their masters, other players and including villagers from mobs. They can easily distinguish friendly mobs from monsters. "An iron golem?" I answered in a surprised manner. If she is an iron golem that would mean that Terra really is a mob.
"That's right, so if you could please stop defending that trash" she said in an arrogant tone. Then looked at Terra, with disgusted eyes.
"And you, if you could kindly kill yourself that would save me the work of doing myself" She said with the same tone looking towards Terra.
She turned her back to us and started to walk away. I looked back at Terra she was stuttering with fear, probably of me abandoning her. Even though I knew that Terra was a mob, I wasn't scared of her,a girl like this cant be called a mob, even if we just met just a few moments ago the girl beside me is a person that I trust and I'm willing to defend her.
"She is not a monster!" I shouted to get her attention.
"What?" She turned back to me with furious rage in her eyes. I knew I was taking a big risk, but I continued to talk.
"I can understand that your actions are reasonable, but she is not a monster!" I shouted again.
"I see, your one of those idiots who think that humans and mobs can become friends and after end up dead for being naïve"
"Even if I am naïve, I trust this girl and I'm not going to leave her" I said.
I still continued to argue, and slowly made her more angry. She stomped her foot which made a hole in the ground. Her eyes filled with fire, looking towards us.
"Eeek!" Terra shrieked and started to hide behind me after that.
"Why would you still trust that girl even after finding out that she is a mob!" She shouted at me, demanding my answer. I mustered up all my courage I can and spoke what was on my mind.
"In your eyes this girl may be a monster, but in my eyes she is just like every other person in this entire world who deserves to live like everyone else!" I said.
Everything was silent, nobody moved an inch as if frozen by my words alone. Terra was still behind me staring at me, I looked back at her and gave her smile.
"Let's go Terra" I said.
She nodded back at me and we walked away from the village. I looked back behind me if the guard was going to do anything, but she just stood there. Terra was quiet while we were walking, I was a bit worried. She started talking to me again when we were at a considerable distance from the village. She detached herself from my back and walked beside me.
"I'm sorry for bringing you into that Zach, the morning guard would usually let me in no problem" Terra said She spoke in her mellow voice, holding her basket behind her with her head facing down. She must feel at fault for what happened just a while ago.
"It's not your fault, everybody has their own issues" I tried to console her, but she was still facing down. She made a short pause before speaking again.
"Thank you, for defending me back there with the guard and all. It means a lot to me that you have so much trust in me, despite the fact I'm a mo-" Terra said. Before she could finish her sentence, I looked at her, kneeled down and held her by her shoulders. She looked surprised as soon as I held on to her.
"...!" Terra's expression turned from guilt to surprise.
"Could you stop calling yourself a mob, because your not. Your Terra and to me your a person...a person that I trust" I gave her a gentle smile to ease her and patted her on the head. Her face turned a bit red as I let her go. I looked back up at the sky and noticed that the sky was getting darker.
"I guess I'll be separating from you here, I hope I'll see you again sometime" I said. I stood back up and was supposedly to run back into the forest but...
"Hey!, why don't you come with me" she suggested I looked back at Terra with a puzzled face.
"Me and my friends have a house not far" she said
"I don't think your friends are going to welcome me with open arms when they see me" I told her.
"Don't worry I'll convince them somehow" she said determined.
she said afterwards with a determined face. Knowing that Terra was a mob and probably her other friends are too, I was taking a big risk if I were going to a place full of them. There was no guarantee that Terra would be able to convince her friends to have the same trust as she does in me, but if there are mobs like Terra out there then I guess this is worth a shot.
"Alright then, thanks" I smiled.
"Thank you!" She gave me a smile and latched onto my right arm.
"...?!" My expression immediately turned to surprise.
"Can I hold you like this the rest of the way?" Terra asked. I was surprised when she latched on to me, because I have no experience when it comes to girls so I didn't know what to do.
"Um, okay" I said nervously.
"Yay!" Terra exclaimed. She replied with a smile and let her head rest on my arm. She looked really happy when I said yes, so I guess I'll let her be for now.
"Hehe..." She started to giggle
"What are you giggling about?" I asked.
"No it's just that your face is so red right now... Hehehe"
"What?... Wait!... It's nothing!" I said.
My face was so hot I didn't notice I looked away from her, but she still continued to giggled. Whoever's idea to put reactions in this game is really gonna get it from me when I find him.
"Hey Terra which type of mob are you, if you don't mind me asking" I asked.
"Oh, I am a silverfish" she answered
"Ah, so that's why your name is Terra, like the earth right?"
"Yes! Thanks for noticing! It took my friends forever to figure that out"
We continued to talk along the way until we reached a small cottage near a lake side. We were just a few 10 meters away from the house. Terra quickly let go of my arm and gave me a stern face.
"Stay out here for now, while I try to reason with them, do not let them see you they might try to kill you if they do, if they do see you run, I'll give you a signal when we're ready to let you in." She was giving me a lot of instructions it was hard for me to keep track of all of them.
"Okay" I replied to her and was about to turn around, until Terra grabbed my sleeve. I looked back at her, she was facing down.
"Zach I don't want to see you hurt or dead because of me, so please follow" She wasn't the cute smiling girl I found this afternoon, this time she was serious. I nodded back at her. She gave me a smile and let go of my sleeve.
"Alright, I'll be back" She walked towards the cottage.
She opened the door and quickly shut it behind her so her friends won't see me. I waited there outside the house and before long I didn't notice that it was already midnight. I noticed that my stomach was grumbling. I took the other piece of pork from my inventory and ate it.
"Bleh!, I can't get used to the taste, next time I'm eating I'm cooking it!" I said with my unsatisfied expression.
"Well at least I'm not hungry." I said.
I looked at the cottage, waiting for Terra to come back out any second.
"It's taking a long time for Terra to come back out, it's already midnight." I said.
I guess she's having a hard time trying to convince her friends to trust a human like me. I wonder what her friends are like. Well I don't think that they're going to look blocky or look like actual monsters from after what I've seen today. Come to think of it the iron golem I saw this afternoon wasn't blocky either or looked like an iron golem from the original game, she looked human along with Terra and me. The pig and the raw pork were also rounded and so was the forest. So I'm guessing the update changed the graphics for everything and changed the block system and the amount of resources acquired when blocks/materials from the environment are gathered. Besides the fact that the graphics have been changed, for most of the games friendlies and mobs to look human, but the fact that they can also talk and have feelings just like people is strange.
"Sigh" I let out my breath.
When I find out more about this world I only keep getting more and more questions. The fact that I am here in Minecraft right now has left me with so much questions as to what caused this to happen and why. I want answers, but the only problem is where's Notch. I looked up and dazed into the night sky.
"Where are you Notch, where are you" I said.
Shfff,
"...!?" I heard a rustle behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was, but nothing was there. Then I felt a slight chill down my spine. I quickly looked back only to meet a knife pointed at my neck.
The person pointing the knife at me said with a stiff voice. "Don't move or your dead".
