Minnie walked through the gate and stepped inside the farm. "Hello." Minnie cried as she checked around. There was no one there. She called again and there was still no answer. She moved forward, sword drawn. "I'm just here to look at your cow." Minnie cried as she walked around to the barn. She slid the door open and saw a couple of animals sleeping. Their eyes were closed in dreams and their movements were still. She crept forward, keeping a watchful eye for a cow. She didn't see any. That is when she saw the door. It was an old wooden door. It had a knocker at the top that looked like a pig with wings. Minnie lifted her hand to the knocker when she heard an oink from behind. She spun around and saw hundreds of flying pigs descend on her. Some had spears attached to their heads while other had sharp spokes on the tips of their wings.
"Freeze mouse." A pig said. The pig was wearing a gold helmet and wore a lethal spear on his back along with some knives on his hooves.
"Please, I just came for a cow. That is all." Minnie said. She gave a small tap of her sword to the spear. The pig grunted.
"No one is to be here. And no one is to see our leader." The pig motioned to the door. Minnie turned and pressed on it. The pigs raced in and almost skewered her alive.
"Sorry, had to try." Minnie said as she gulped. They backed up an inch.
"And why would you need a cow for?" the commander asked.
"Well, long story." Minnie began as she fondled her sword. "You see, my husband was killed last year and I met this guy who said he could bring him back if I got these ingredients. So, I am on this quest to find the items and one of these items is the hair of a cow's tail. So if you would be kind enough…"
"Wait. Are you Minnie?" the commander asked.
"Yes, widow of Mickey Mouse." Minnie said, praying Mickey's name might do some good. It had done that so far.
"Yes, Hogsty had said that you might come here." The commander said. The other pigs lowered their weapons and the commander smiled. "He is expecting you. He's busy right now. He's talking to his older brother. Maybe you've heard of him?"
"Probably have. I've met just about all of his siblings besides Crystal." Minnie replied with a small grin. She put her sword away and straightened up.
"He's in a meeting with his brother, Blared." The commander said.
"Blared? I'm his friend." Minnie said as she gave a smile. She remembered her old friend. The last time she had seen him, he was flying away from her on the underground continent. She had seen him again a couple of weeks later with his brother Ye but she had never spoken to him. "I've got to see him!" Minnie shouted as she turned and burst through the wooden doors. She closed her eyes and opened them.
