Soro's POV
We traveled across the land through biome after biome for a month until we found civilization. We came upon a small flourishing town called Border Town. Upon further inspection we found out that the town's name originates from the fact that it is located just inside the borders of Mine Country. This place is weird. It's different than any town I've been to in Tekkit Territories yet it's similar as well. This town truly lives up to its name. It is the crossroads between Tekkit Territories and Mine Country.
That's enough about the town. We have more important things to talk about. My friends and I have been in this town for about three months now. Nothing really major has happened but there are a few details worth noting. I recast my appearance spell just before entering the town. My shoulder and face healed to the point of just being permanent disfigurations of my skin (also known as scars). I did not hide them using my magic. I only believe in changing the color of hair, eyes, and skin and nothing more. I will never hide any scars unless it is by clothing. Speaking of clothing, Rythian has changed his style. He now wears dark brown/maroon pants, a dark gray tank top type of shirt, purple bands around his upper arms, and a black bandana around the lower half of his face. He has effectively covered all of his patches of scales. Although he's not completely hiding that he's enderborn because the back of his shirt is decorated with a pair of purple enderman eyes. Everyone else's outfits have remained the same. Anyway on to other matters, you may be wondering where we've been staying for the past three months. Well upon arriving in town we met a blonde haired teenager named Brice. He just so happened to be living by himself in a large house and graciously offered to let us stay with him. You know, it has nothing to do with the fact that he and Seto are totally crushing on each other. I confronted Seto about it once. He denied but his face was bright red. So it obvious he's got a little crush on Brice.
Speaking off confrontations, I talked to Rythian about what he said when he found out the ender dragon is his mother. Apparently he used to live with the man he thought and actually still thinks is his birth father. They lived in a small town and life was happy for the young Rythian. But then when he was seven the ender dragon attacked the village. Rythian is the sole survivor. Shortly after the attack, Seto's father came across the destroyed town. He saved Rythian's life and took him in. And that's how Rythian and Seto met and became brothers.
So far that's all that has happened in the three months that we've been in Border Town. Right now most of us are gathered in Brice's living room chatting. Everyone's here except for Martyn and Toby, who are somewhere in the forest surrounding Brice's house, and Duncan, Who is in the kitchen experimenting with coffee.
We are all chatting aimlessly when suddenly we hear Duncan scream.
"It's angry!" He shouts. We rush to the kitchen to see what has occurred. Duncan stands in the middle of the room covered head to toe in a brownish liquid. The coffee not only covers Duncan but the rest of the kitchen as well. The steaming liquid appears to be alive as it bubbles on the surface of the counters and floor and everything in between. Duncan laughs. "Oh Notch, I made it angry! Really angry!"
"What the Nether did you do Duncan?" Lewis chuckles at the sight.
"I don't know!" Duncan laughs some more.
"Oh my Notch! It looks absolutely livid!" Simon exclaims.
"Livid coffee?" I question. How the Nether can coffee be livid?
Lewis chuckles again. "Hey Duncan, that should be your nickname."
"What? LividCoffee?"
"Yeah."
Duncan shrugs. He gazes around the coffee covered room. "Sorry 'bout your kitchen, Brice."
"It's fine," Brice replies. "Could you help me clean it up though?"
"Sure, no problem. But I think I got to clean myself first or I'm just going to make it worse."
It took a few hours but both the kitchen and Duncan are finally clean. Cleaning up the kitchen proved to be too much for two people to handle so we all ended up pitching in. Even Martyn and Toby helped after they got back from their adventures in the woods. Now that the room is fixed everyone sits at the dining table enjoying their dinner. Although hastily made the mushroom stew is quite delicious.
"So there's something I've been meaning to ask you," Lewis speaks up from the other end of the table.
"And what's that?" Rythian questions as he leans back in his chair having already finished his meal.
"Simon, Martyn, Toby, and I are part of a group called the Yogscast. We were wondering if the five of you would join us."
"What exactly is the Yogscast?" I ask before gulping down the rest of my soup. I use my arm to wipe my mouth. I know totally sanitary and polite but I really don't care. Besides does anyone really except a 'nine' year old boy to use manners.
"The Yogscast is a group that Simon and I started. Right now there are only about fifteen people in it. We're not together all the time and there are a few small rivalries but even so we'll always have each others backs. Kinda like a family." Lewis explains.
Brice, Seto, Duncan, Rythian, and I think about his offer for a while. Brice is the first to reply. "Thanks for the offer but I've got important work here that I need to concentrate on that and I'm not good with big groups. I've actually kinda been struggling not to be awkward with all of you here."
"Understandable." Lewis accepts Brice's response.
"Sorry but I'm with Brice on this one." Seto also declines Lewis's offer. "I'm not good with big groups of people." Seto fidgets in his seat and doesn't look anyone in the eyes as he speaks which proves his point. "I'm also on a quest to find someone important to me and I don't want to be distracted from it."
"Very well then." Lewis accepts Seto's response as well. "What about you three?" The spaceman addresses Rythian, Duncan, and I.
"It sounds interesting..." Duncan dwells on this thought for a minute. "Sure, I'll join."
Lewis grins. "Welcome to the family."
"This group of yours... it doesn't discriminate against race?" Rythian inquiries.
"No. Anyone from any race or heritage is welcome."
"Then I'll join to."
"Good to have you in the family." Lewis turns to me. "What about you, Soro?"
"I don't know..."
"You can make a decision later if you want more time to think."
"It's not like that. It's just... I..." I sigh deeply and make my final decision. "No. Sorry but I won't be joining you."
"May I ask why?"
"As great as being part of a big family sounds, I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me."
"What to you mean?"
"You know what happened a few months ago. Herobrine wants me dead and he probably won't hesitate to cut anyone else down to get to me."
"That doesn't matter. We'll help you out in anyway we can."
I shake my head no. "Sorry but I don't want to get any of you involved any more than you already are. Especially with what I plan on doing in the future."
"What do you plan on doing?" Simon askes confused.
"Something that will most likely make my situation worse than it already is."
"How so?" Martyn inquiries next.
"I'm going to find my mother and avenge my father."
"Soro! Do you have any idea what you're implying!?" Seto stands up quickly knocking his chair over. It clatters to the floor. The room is silent. They're all waiting for what happens next. None of them understand what's going on clearly. Seto is the only one I've told exactly who killed my father and how. I mentioned it once when Herobrine tried to kill me a few months ago but I don't think they were paying attention. I think at that point they were more concerned with the fact that Herobrine is real and he was trying to end my life.
"Of course. I know what I'm saying." I state camly. I look Seto in the eyes with the most determined look I can muster. "I'm going to kill Herobrine."
