Continuing from where we left off.
As the two travellers walked amongst corpses, they wallowed in their misfortune. Barely seconds after the danger had passed, they returned to their shack. To their dismay they saw it had caught alight, from the burning undead. Honeydew especially seemed annoyed about this, as he kicked mud and grass he muttered things about recycling the materials.
They spent the rest of that day mining stone. By mid afternoon Xephos's muscles were beginning to ache. Many chipped and broken pickaxes lined the ground, while their pockets were weighed down with chips of rock.
"I'm telling you, this infernal world is filled with nothing but shitty stone!" This new way of mining seemed to be getting Honeydew down, he was used to finding gold, and other rewards every few minutes, but this place seemed surprisingly empty. As Xephos scanned his surroundings, his beady eyes noticed a black glistening far along the path. He rushed over and immediately swung his pick through the coal. He scooped up a lump and threw it at the dwarf.
"Brilliant" he said enthusiastically. "I'll find a way to light this, and use it as a torch."
Not wanting to miss the new opportunities this place offered, Xephos walked back to the dark cave he had spotted when he first woke up. As he neared it however, he saw a large, green monster emerge. The thing looked him in the eyes, and began to expand. Before Xephos could even swing his sword, the creature exploded, launching him backwards. He landed painfully on the ground, just as Honeydew rushed back, panicking.
"Jesus Christ, the bloody thing just crept up on me!" Xephos screamed. He was in total shock, and his hands were still shaking. Almost on cue the sun dipped behind the mountains, and the sky became dark.
Honeydew noticed the crater the "Creeper" had opened up, more coal lumps were floating around.
"Get in that cave, quick!" As the two rushed forward, a groaning zombie appeared. Honeydew swung the flaming torch into it's face. They smelt burning flesh. The dwarf quickly covered the hole with planks of wood, before slamming the torch onto a wall.
"Ya know, I think we should make this place our base."
Thanks for reading guys. Sorry it's been so long, transferring all my documents over to my new laptop as I type, so next chapter will be in a couple of days!
