The Warrior:
A Minecraft/Mob Talker Story
Chapter 3:
The Old Friend
Allison led me around for about five minutes before we reached her house. She asked me to wait outside while she went in. After about a minute she called me in.
When I walked in, I saw a guy that must have been Jack. His brown hair and blue eyes matched Dad's description perfectly. The lady sitting next to him on the couch had to be Beth. She looked a lot like Allison and only a little different from my dad's description.
"Hey. My name's Danny. Danny Kinoten." I said. I saw them look at each other in shock then at me doubtfully. "What?"
"Well, we never heard anything about Alex having a kid..." Jack began, but he was interrupted by a whoosh-ing sound as a small black and blue Chinese dragon flew right at me! I braced myself but instead of attacking it started to rub against me like a cat.
"Well I'll be..." Jack said. "Looks like Sierra trusts you."
"And if that's not proof enough, this should be. Hey Tech, you can come out now."
Tech came out in sphere form and slowly changed once she was finished, the others just stared.
"Hello. I am Animae Technicae, daughter of Animae Mortuorum. I was bonded with Danny spiritually by his father Alex to protect him and-"
"Whoah there Tech! They don't need your whole life's story!" I said with a laugh. She laughed and apologized.
"Well that settles it for me! Sorry for not believing you at first but we haven't heard from your dad in ages!" Beth said.
"No worries. And I think I can fix that." I said.
"How?" Jack asked.
I pulled out the gem and set it on the floor. I then activated it and a holographic image of my mom and dad appeared.
"Hello Danny! Is there something wrong?" Dad asked.
"Nope! I think you might wanna see who's sitting behind me though!"
"I don't believe it! Jack! Beth! Is that you?!" Mom asked.
"It's us all right! Good to see you again Spectra." Beth replied.
"Same here Beth! Sorry we haven't had time to visit, but ruling over the land of the dead is a 24/7 deal."
"I understand. I'd like you to meet someone. Come here Allison."
Allison walks over and Jack introduces her to my dad. Congratulations are exchanged and they talk for a good five minutes or so before my dad says he has to go.
"It was good to hear from you Jack. I'll try to make some time on the calendar to visit you." Dad said.
"Thanks Alex. I'll be looking forward to it."
The image fades and I pick up the gem before pocketing it. I am about to walk out when Jack puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks for that. I had no clue your dad had taken over as king of the dead and so I thought he'd just forgotten us. You can spend the night in our guest room if you like."
"Thank you. I don't have any cash on me so staying at the inn isn't an option. If you could show me the way, then I will go on to sleep because travelling from the land of the dead is exhausting."
He led me to the guest room and left. I got ready for bed and then laid down under the covers.
