Third chapter of the day! Yays! This one is a little short, but that's okay!
Chapter 12: Craftsburg
I tried my best to hide my fear and worry. Niar grabbed my hand, I had almost forgotten that we are supposed to be a couple. I looked at Niar, and she looked at me. We smiled at each other. Soon, we found a man, and we ran to him.
"Please sir! We'll do anything for money Our child, he's very sick. He needs a doctor, but we haven't any money. He needs a doctor." Niar said quickly.
"Please! I'm afraid he won't live much longer." I joined in. I put my arm around Niar and she put her hand on mine. I looked over at her. She had some tears streaming down her face.
"It's a shame that your son is sick, here, take this." The man said, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out some gold and gave a bit to both of us.
"Thank you. Notch and Jeb thank you, in these troubled times." Niar said, wiping her tears away. We put the gold in our pockets. The man left. Niar and I gently high-five each other.
Niar and I continued to stop people and tell the story we told the man. We spent most of the day and a bit of the night guilting people into giving us money. By the time we were done, Niar and I had a good three stacks total of gold. We walked through the center of town, where both Creeper and Evie had been going around begging for gold. I assumed the Creeper was given a potion for his leg. He still had a slight limp, though. I guess that the potion didn't completely heal Creeper. Niar and I rushed out of the city, slowing down once we got out of sight of the town. Niar stopped me so Evie and Creeper could catch up. It wasn't long before we saw Creeper and Evie inch to us.
"How'd it go?" Niar asked.
"Great, we got a stack of gold." Evie said.
"We got three!" I yelled.
"That's great!" Creeper yelled back. The four of us returned to Niar's house.
"I'm just glad no one recognized me." Niar said
"Ditto." Creeper muttered.
"Tomorrow I'll go back to Craftsburg to get supplied. Niar explained as she pulled out a book and opened it. She gave it to Creeper. "Pass it on and write down what you need." Creeper looked through the book and scribbled something down. He then passed it to Evie, who studied it for a moment and wrote some things down too. Evie passed it to me. Already on the list was a set of diamond armour, three iron sets, along with a diamond sword and three iron swords. Of course on the list was food, a good amount of it. Creeper must have added flint and steel, luckily no TNT. Evie added bows and arrows, potions, and golden apples. I didn't have anything to add, but I remembered that I already had a diamond sword, so I crossed out the diamond sword. I closed the book and gave it back to Niar. I wasn't too tired, but the others looked pretty tired. Soon, Niar fed us and all four of us were off to bed.
