I'm hoping this ends up being a long lasting story that you guys will enjoy, but right now the chapters aren't being all that long without feedback, guys. Leave reviews and even give me ideas and maybe I'll use it in the story.~
"Hey! Hey! Listen!" The noise kept pestering on. I've tried communicating with it, but all it seems to tell me is to do is give me useless hints and call me 'Link.' I even tried telling it my name was Steve, not Link. That's what my first night consisted of. As the dawn of day appeared, I wandered outside to start gathering more wood for tools. As I gathered the wood, I started to feel weak and a bit dizzy. Surely that had to become of no food or sleep all night. So I made my first tools out of the wood that I gathered: shovel, axe, sword. The standard for what I need for now. I pulled out the axe and wandered over to the wall of stone that is built up on the side. I looked over and notice there's a top to a building there. I figured I'd check it out after I had gathered some stone for the furnace that I saw to make in the crafting table.
I'd walk up the stone steps headed to the building, and once I got there it all seemed to be an abandoned castle. Why someone would just abandon a castle completely eludes me, but I think I'll take advantage of it while it's here. I wander near the entrance and look around the area just outside; it seems to have a small farm, to go with it. Something that'll surely come in handy, especially with me already being hungry. When I look closer, there seems to be chests lying around at certain areas of the castle entrance. The one near the farm contains two apples, a hoe, wheat, and a pumpkin. Around the farm there are also pins of animals. Five pins in total, each having two of the same animal inside. Cows, pigs, sheep, wolves, and cats. Chickens are around here too, but they all just kind of wander where they want. They seem like they haven't been fed in a while though. I gave the cows some wheat and went over to check on the other animals. When I walk by the cows again to go check out the rest of the place, there seemed to have been an extra "moo" than there was before. There was a mini cow in the pin with the other too. "What" is all I could mutter because I didn't think cows reproduce that fast. (Note to self: wheat to cows makes more cows) I shook my head and wander around the rest of the area.
There were two buildings sitting beside each other. One seemed to have books inside, the other had some kind of tools and bottles inside. Curious, I checked out the latter building. There was a chest here as well. It had water, bottles, and some kind of ingredient? I don't know what this is all for, and out if nowhere the hint box returned to help explain. It seemed to be a place to brew 'potions' Interested still, but curious of the rest of the place, I decided to leave and come back to it later. I checked out the other building. It had bookshelves around, and then a pedastal with a floating book in the center. I opened it, and it was written about 'enchanting tools' Interesting enough, I wanted to give it a try. But it said I needed something called 'experience' to work it. It said it was a bar and number down below my field of vision. I saw it, but it never said how I get this 'experience' so I decided to wander off.
The castle itself seems large and gothic from the outside. Large walls covering most of it. Even more curious to see what's inside the castle, I wander through the opened doors. As soon as I do I notice the castle has raised ceilings, almost giant like. Standard refined stone covered walls, with unlit torches every ten feet along it. Red carpet along the center of the walk ways. I wander around and find a bedroom. (Finally a bed!) Much needed sleep is what I'm getting tonight. I wander around a bit more and find a large dining room with a twenty seat table. My stomach growling, I decide to take a seat at the table and eat the appls I found at the farm outside. Looking around the room a bit more while eating, I notice there are windows here. Though I don't think they're really that useful, they're the highest thing in this room. The least the builders of this castle could have done was make them lower and give the people eating a view of the outside. "That's probably why they left in the first place" I say aloud and chuckle a little.
feeling my hunger disappear, I decide to get up and wander around more. Stairs heading up towards a tower to look at the castle's surroundings, it seems to be mostly grassland around. To the east horizon there's a cluttered jungle, north hills and mountains, west water, more than likely the ocean, and south just grasslands; I even see a little village from here. Still tired and drowsy from not having any sleep from last night, and the sun setting, I decide to head back to the bedroom I found earlier and get some sleep. Before I could get sleep, a hint box popped out and explained how to make a bed for later use. Something that would more than likely be handy sometime in the future.
