The farm had grown still since she left. The animals refused to frolic in their pastures and instead stood near the gate with glum expressions. The crops grew slowly (slower than usual for a field biome, which proves great growing) and could not be sold away for a profit.
"Just you now Blaze." The man whispered, hoisting a chicken from its pen. The chicken was one of the few remaining animals and until now, thought he would pull through the sadness with that chicken.
The chicken beheld many memories, it was found by her and her father as an egg in the woods. when it had hatched it looked like the fiery splendor of a phoenix with great orange plumage, hence the name Blaze. It was his daughter's favorite chicken and only escape from harsh reality with her mother dead and her physical being changed.
He held the chicken close to him and fell to the ground, it was nothing like before. The chicken could now barely walk and the fiery feathers were now resembling the appearance of a drowned rat. He had so many memories with the poor animal and never thought the day would come when he would have to eat it just to keep himself alive.
With a sharp crack he broke the chickens neck and it lay limp in his hands. He brought it inside and cooked it, falling asleep to the sound of the crackling fire within the furnace.
Knock...knock...knock...
Knock knock knock
"Is anyone inside?"
He lifted his head...he had a visitor for the first time in several years. In a great bound he ran to the door and opened it to the suprise of the visitor.
"Oh my, dear sir. Well are you Jake Ovrateer?" The visitor asked in a strinkingly british accent.
He opened the door wider, there on his front step was an enderman, clad in a suit and had a monicle. "Yes, I am." He pulled his sword a little closer to him. "Why do you ring for me?"
"His lord sent me."
"His lord? There is many in this world."
The enderman paused a second, he didn't know if he should speak the name. "His lord...Herobrine."
Jake flew into action he drew his sword on the enderman. "You will not take me, I have done good in this world, you cannot take me out of it now!"
"That is not what I meant, let me explain it to you."
The enderman looked him in the eye and somehow they were both teleported onto a rocky cliff far above the land below.
"Where the hell am I?"
"Well I can't have you drawing a sword on me at the mention of a name. This is about your daughter so if you would let me explain this to you." The enderman hissed.
He was silent he just listened to the enderman.
"Your daughter, you gave her away at age...?"
"Five...she was 5..."
"Yes, the priest you gave her to, that priest is dead."
"Is she ok?" Jake yelled, jumping towards the enderman and nearly falling from the small rock outcropping.
"Yes, the priest was corrupt, he treated her horribly and sent her away to live with the lord."
Jake sat in stunned silence, his daughter could have lived protected and sheltered from the evils in the world. He knew Herobrine was real, so was Notch, but they couldn't be idolized as gods.
"This is where it gets interesting. The lord knew who she was, knew very well and chose her, she is his companion. The town of Daven, they both had regrets there, so they leveled the town."
"Why did come to tell me this? Just so I knew where she was? Is that it?"
"Not entirely...she is in need of rescuing...she may die within this week."
Jake looked down from his rocky overhang, down below him was a small 3x3 pond.
"Don't even think about jumping, I haven't told you where it is and I could just as easily teleport you down." The enderman growled.
"Where is she. You cannot just tell me my daughter's situation and expect me not to be concerned."
"You would have never heard of this and she could have died had I not just told you this. Anyway she is in Battle Valley, she is the result of a brotherly feud. Notch and His Lord are doing battle. We need you to go in while they are battling and take her to me, I will take care of her from there, this may cost your life though."
"I am willing, she is my daughter and I owe it to her."
The two looked each other in the eye without boiling anger and it was settled. She could be saved but may even cost a life.
