The plan
A short time later, Nuka, who was still exhausted from their fight, followed Herobrine through the long corridors of the castle.
They looked just like all the others he had just walked through, but now Nuka noticed that there were indeed Nether mobs around.
There weren't too many of them though, just a few Wither skeletons standing around in the corridors, politely tilting their heads when Herobrine walked past them.
But fortunately for Nuka, they didn't seem to pay any attention to him at all.
I wonder why there are so few of them here? he thought in confusion, but before he could think about it further, Herobrine turned away and entered a room that Nuka identified a moment later as the throne room.
Curious and also somewhat awestruck, he looked around.
The room was surprisingly dark.
The only light came from two lava streams that were on the wall to the left and right of the throne and flowed from the ceiling to the floor, enveloping the room in a dim light.
Just opposite Nuka was the throne.
It consisted mainly of dark Nether bricks and was additionally decorated with a few gold and glowstone blocks.
It was relatively plain for a throne, yet it had such a dark and powerful aura about it and Nuka felt himself getting goosebumps at the sight of it.
Herobrine, however, paid no attention to the thorn, but disappeared through another door behind the thorn, which led into a small, but very long room, with an equally long wooden table in it, on which many papers and maps lay crisscrossed.
Nuka couldn't help but grin when he saw the whole mess.
Apparently Herobrine did not seem to be the tidiest person.
Meanwhile Herobrine had arrived at the table and seemed to be searching for something before he angrily swept a few papers off the table and pointed at a map with his finger.
,,Do you know the city of Skylor?" He asked with a glance at Nuka, who had meanwhile also stepped up to the table and examined the map with interest before nodding.
He had never been there himself, but had heard of the city.
,,Isn't that the capital of Minecraftia?" he asked, to which Herobrine sighed and shook his head.
,,Not quite," he replied, slightly annoyed, as he turned his gaze back to the map, "it's the capital of Steve's kingdom, that's why his castle is there."
He pointed to the huge, square, brown building in the middle.
,,But it is also the largest city of Minecraftia," he continued in a normal voice, "so I guess you could indirectly call it the capital of Minecraftia."
Nuka nodded when he heard that, while also looking at the map, before turning to Herobrine and giving him a slightly uncertain and nervous look.
,,And...why are you showing me this?" he asked cautiously, to which Herobrine raised his head and stared at Nuka with a very serious look.
"Because I plan to attack it."
Nuka's eyes widened in shock when he heard that!
,,What? Why?" he asked in shock, to which Herobrine just narrowed his eyes in annoyance and turned back to the map.
,,Because there will soon be a great celebration there. In honor of the creation of Minecraftia and in honor of the gods," he replied before turning back to Nuka and grinning wryly, And guess who gets shamelessly passed over every year?"
,,You." replied Nuka shortly, whereupon Herobrine's gaze darkened again and he nodded grimly.
,,Exactly" he growled softly as he turned back to the map and looked at it as angrily as if the piece of paper was to blame for all this, "Worse than that! Steve keeps spreading the word at this festival that I'm not a real, but this time I'm going to show him that I'm not going to put up with this!"
Nuka nodded in understanding when he heard that.
Being the one who was passed over and not even recognized as a real person, even if Nuka did not understand how anyone could believe that, had to be very frustrating, but Nuka also understood why the Minecrafters did it.
After all, Herobrine had not been very friendly to them all these years.
,,And what exactly do you plan to do?" he asked, to which Herobrine snorted contemptuously.
,,I'd love to burn the whole city to the ground!" he hissed angrily, "But it's already too big for that, so I'll have to limit myself to the castle."
Nuka looked at him questioningly when she heard that.
"Why is that?" he asked, confused, "Can't you just summon some mobs to help you destroy the city?"
Herobrine looked at Nuka, annoyed.
,,You think I haven't thought about that already?" he growled, "Of course I can! But if I do that, I'll create a time limit for myself, since most of them will be burned in the sun a short time later, if the guards haven't already killed them."
"Of course, I could try it alone," he continued without pausing, "but this city is full of guards and so the risk is too high for me alone, since in the worst case I could get caught and imprisoned."
He shuddered briefly at the idea but then grinned and stared at Nuka.
"But they won't count on you as my support! You are powerful! Very powerful in fact and with you and your special abilities, I should be able to beat Steve and his guards and destroy his castle!"
He turned back to the map.
,,You'll still need some training, though," he muttered, looking at the paper in front of him with a thoughtful expression, "Especially your stamina because the attack will be longer than usual. But if we train every day we should be able to do that. And we also have to work on your response in a fight when something unexpected happens, because when we going to attack the city, you have to ready for everthing, got it?"
"Sure," Nuka said and nodded quickly, even if, unlike Herobrine, he was not at all sure they would make it in time but he didn`t dare to tell him that.
,,Good," Herobrine meanwhile murmured and nodded without looking at him.
"Then you can go now."
Relieved, Nuka turned and was about to walk out the door when Herobrine suddenly spoke.
,,One more thing," he said, causing Nuka to turn back to Herobrine, who was still staring at the map.
,,If I catch you outside the east wing again, where you have your room, I will punish you more that with just simly fight traning ,ok? And if you dare to take a single step outside the castle, I promise you'll done for, understand?!"
With these words he turned and looked threateningly at Nuka, who still stood ther and looked at Herobrine with a slightly frightened look.
He was sure that Herobrine was serious about this threat.
"Understood." he murmured, even though he didn't know exactly what Herobrine meant by East Wing, but he didn't dare to ask.
"I hope so for your sake!" Herobrine replied sharply, before turning around and facing the map again, "Now leave!"
Nuka didn't need to be told twice.
As soon as he was outside, he closed the door behind him and exhaled in relief.
He knew Herobrine meant what he said, but even if he hadn't threatened him, why would Nuka want to escape?
Certainly Herobrine was evil and a bit scary, but he had also offered him shelter and food and was still willing to train him and his skills.
It may sound crazy, but Nuka had never experienced anything so friendly before.
Certainly he wanted something in return, but helping him with the attack on the city seemed a fair price to Nuka.
There must be more than just the evil Herobrine, Nuka thought as he walked through his castle, trying to find his way back to his room.
I really wonder what happened back then. He wondered I hope I can find it out. ^^
