Minecraft: The Uprising

Hey guys, hope you all had a wonderful day today. I would like to thank TheWritingReader for sticking to this story so far. Thank you so much for that. And also to those others who are following and have Favorited this story, thank you. It's a pleasure to be making this story and know that there are those who take some time to see and read it. Thank you. Too many thank you's, but I really mean it. So, I will keep updating this story daily, if possible or every few days.

I have other plans for other stories of which I want to start with, but for now, I will stick with this project until the Life Update begins (which will begin soon and I'll explain later on what that will be in my profile or in fiction press).

Now, Guard Tom... I actually do know Mianite and this special character will be a key character for later on. Now though, he is just someone trying to help the cause to protect the Kingdom. He is just Guard Tom for now and doesn't know anything about Mianite, yet.

So, all that said; another chapter. This is somewhat short compared to the other ones, but its a good chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 7: The Myth of Love

"So, The King and Queen have accepted your arrival," the enchanted diamond guard states; the one who had given me a warning look earlier. "Why would that be, Tom?"

"That's none of your concern, Phil," he tells him, and heads down the stairway, with Ashley tailing behind.

"My eyes are still on you, punk," Phil threats. "No matter if your highness has accepted you."

I don't say anything and head down.

"He's rude," Ashley comments.

"Yeah… Life did that to him," Tom tells us as we follow him. "I'm taking you to the market store so you can get a place. Hopefully, there will be one available."

On the way, I can't help but think about the prophecy. Two souls… One broken seal… Does that have to do with me and the mysterious girl of my vision? The power of time has revealed… Time slowing down in a state of emotion… Just like when I saved Ashley from getting killed in the games. A savior to bring dark and light against an evil's ancient fight… Am I that savior of which will fight against some evil force who plans to destroy our world?

"You thinking about the prophecy, aren't you?" Ashley whispers to me.

I look at her concerned and nod.

"Don't worry, okay. Everything will turn out okay. I am sure."

She seems so sure of that. Will everything turn out okay in the end? I got to be the one that decides that. A savior to bring dark and light…

"We are here," Tom says distracting me from the prophecy. In front of us is a small wooden house with some oak wood stairs missing from the roof. "I'll wait out here for you two."

Ashley and I go inside and wait by the counter. An old man with grey hair and squared glasses appears in front of us. "Ohhh… Customers! You must be the couple Newbies! So long since I had any clients. I am Sir Al; at your service." He extends his old wrinkled hand.

I carefully shake it, afraid to break the old man's hand. "Veteranraptor."

"And this must be your wife. Nice to meet you, Ma'am." Al kisses Ashley's hand. She blushes.

"Wife!" I exclaim, raising my hands, with a blush. "It isn't like that."

"It's not? Weren't you two brought here together?"

"Yeah, but, I was born about 2 days ago and she wasn't."

"Oh really... Interesting enough, she came here with you, Veteran. A myth has it that when two lovers are born together, it is meant for them to get married."

"Seriously?" I question him and glance at Ashley. She looks away with a grin. "It's a myth, Al."

"Of course, but aren't prophecies also a myth? Don't they come true when everything is already fated?"

She frowns. "Yes. Unfortunately some do…"

"Well, time will tell if that myth is true. In any case, how would you like a house?" Al asks. "Let me see what's available." He leaves to the back and comes back with 2 pieces of paper in hand. "Hmm… Let me see…"

He examines them and speaks, "No… This one burned down a couple of days ago. Oh, I got this one; a 2 story house for 5000 coins."

"Al… how could we get that many coins, if we just came?" Ashley questions him.

"In the bottom of your left eye above the chat, you'll see a golden C. There, you'll see how many coins you got," he explains. "If you both have the basic amount. You can both combine the money and buy this house."

I take a look and see… 2500!

"Hmm… Perfect. How much do you have Ashley?"

She shakes her head in disappoint. "I got none. My stats were wiped out when I entered the arena. I have no coins."

Al nods and takes another look at the papers one more time and shakes his head. "Rough… There's no more…but…" He thinks for second. "I think I have one small house in a small island. I usually don't do this, but there hasn't been any Newbies in so long. Especially couples. So, give me the 2500 and you can have it."

"Really?" I ask hopeful.

"Yeah. There's only one bedroom though. I think there might be 2 beds, unless Steve got rid of one of them."

"That's fine," I confirm. "Ashley, you good with this?"

She nods. "Sure. Any place is good. I just want to sleep. I'm pretty tired to be honest. It's been long since I had a good sleep."

"We'll take it then." A small bag of coins appears in my hands and I pass it to Al. He smiles and takes it. "Awesome. Thanks, well…" Another paper appears in his hand. "Here are the coordinates to the house. It ain't far."

I take the paper and put it in my inventory. "Thanks Al."

"No problem. If you two need anything more, don't hesitate to visit me. I'm always available."

We exit the shop and find Tom looking up at the sky, deep in thought. He then notices us and asks, "Got your houses?"

I nod and hand him the paper with coordinates. "A house."

"Oh… I see." He takes the paper and examines both Ashley and I. He grins and then heads off.

We follow behind him. "What's up with him?" I ask Ashley.

She shrugs. "Who knows? Maybe Life is getting to him too."

I chuckle. "Hopefully, it doesn't get to us that quick."

Ashley laughs. "Time will tell, Kevin."

It doesn't take us that long to get to small house. We exit the kingdom through another main entrance and find a small house in an beautiful island.

"It's beautiful, Kevin," Ashley tells me dazzled and runs to the dark oak bridge that leads to it. The sun's setting down; giving the small house a beautiful scenery. It's surrounded by a couple of birch wood trees and the blue waters around give it a good feeling of home.

It was worth the 2500, even if it isn't big.

"Well, I will head back to my station," Tom says to me. "Message me if anything unusual happens."

"What do you mean?"

"There are rumors of evil mobs lurking around even with the difficulty set on peaceful. It hasn't happened here that I know of, but it isn't safe as it used to be. Not anymore and we can't be too careless," he explains with a fist out. I then remember what Skyler has told me.

"They have gotten stronger. A friend of mine told me that."

"Indeed. Well here." He hands me a diamond sword. "Just in case."

"Thanks, Tom," I say gladly taking it.

"See you around." He waves and leaves.

I put the sword in my inventory and walk to the house. It's made out of oak wood planks. The edges have dark oak wood, which makes the house stand out a little bit. Inside, I find a chair next to one bed; where Ashley's already lying on it. "Only one bed…"

No reply… Meaning, she fell asleep. I take a seat besides her and smile at her angelic face. Her black hair is all poofy and I can't help put grab her hand that's hanging off the bed.

Could she be my wife just as that Myth of Love says? What about that naked girl I saw in my vision? I just hope I don't have to choose between these two girls who are fated to be with me because i don't think I could chose one when I may also love the other.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Rate and Review would be highly appreciated. Until next time, peace.
