Hey there good people of Fanfiction! Just another update for you who are following my story. I read some of you reviews, and based on this, I will be posting 1-2 new chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. I know that the first few chapters were REALLY short, so I'm goanna try to make them longer as best as I can. This is actually my first time typing a long story. Thanks for the feed back, and tell me what I can do better. Anyway, to the story!
Light had suddenly woken up in a strange vortex of some sort. For some strange reason, he couldn't seem to move or speak… where was he? Suddenly, a giant flash of light appeared before him. Eventually faded, revealing some very old ruins. There was moss that had covered most of the ruins. Suddenly, for some reason, like the ruins was calling to him, he advanced toward it. He had gotten to the footsteps of the ruins, when suddenly, another burst of light shined all around him… and for some strange reason… he heard a voice, saying:
"Light….Light….come find me Light…. and I will grant you forever lasting power…" The light had suddenly got bigger and bigger... until eventually… he black out.
"...L….L.i.h...Ligh...LIGHT!" Flaira shouted into his eardrum… which woke him instantly.
"GAH! Flaria! Did you really have to-" suddenly, he looked around him, and saw nothing but deep forest. "Wait… but we were just in…" Light stuttered, as he looked at Flaira. "What did you do!?"
"Simple. I typed in a secret code that allows you to enter minecraft or minecraft mod in this case; so, welcome to Hexxtoria!' She says, as she raises her arms up.
Light was confused… but wouldn't be? He just decided to go along with it; she did say that she would explain later. Besides, he looked all around him to see all sorts of different things he never saw before in normal minecraft. Even just one look at the forest shows that things are WAY different. He saw all sorts of different trees, plants, even some animals. Light looked all around him, and actually noticed he was still normal. In fact, everything around him seemed normal; not one block was...blocky. Plus, he didn't have his light blue Yoshi skin he usually has on wasn't. It was just him, and his normal self.
"Hey, how come everything looks so...normal? Shouldn't it be all…blocky…?" Light questioned, as he started to chop down a tree. Even though everything looked normal, he still you could punch a tree without your hand falling off.
"Oh… yea, for some reason, whenever you enter Hexxtoria, or wherever, everything looks normal; even though we see it all blocky in the real world." Flaira said, as she chopped down some wood and made a crafting bench.
"Huh. Weird, but kind of gives you a more… intense feeling, because you could get killed by something that isn't real." Light said, as he made himself a wooden pickaxe, and started to mine in a nearby cave, but as he started to mine, he looked puzzled.
"Hey Flaira?" Light said, as she started to run over by him, and gave him a wooden sword.
"Yea Light? What is it?" Flaira asked, as she started to mine alongside him.
"What are all of these ores? I've never seen ANY of these ores besides Iron. Are all of these within the mod?"
"Yup! There are all sorts of cool new things added! Including all the ores you see around you! There's aluminum, copper, ardite, quantum, cobalt...shall I continue?" Flaira said, as she brought out the crafting bench and made him a cobblestone pickaxe.
"Um... no need, but…" Light looks up at the sky, seeing the sun was setting. "We should probably make a shelter soon. It's getting late. Did you find any coal or food?"
"Oh, yea, I already have about 11 raw pork chops, 20 raw beef, and 5 raw chickens." Flaira said, as she made a furnace and put the pork chops in.
"Ok, good, I have about a stack of coal, how much wood do you have?" Light asked, as he put half of the coal in the furnace, and made the rest into torches, and started to place them around them.
"About a stack. But… we could probably make our home right here, look, we already have about a 20x20 space to stay in for the night; here, I'll make us a door." Flaira said, as she grabbed the crafting table, and put it into the little cave that they made. Meanwhile, light grabbed the cooked pork chops, and the furnace, and put it into the cave. Just in time as well, the moon was starting to rise, and Light could hear the hisses and groans of the mobs coming closer and closer to them. Lucky, Flaira made the door, and patched up the few spots that were open. Both of them sighed of relief. They had just barely made it. But why they were waiting out the night, Light decided to take the opportunity to ask a few questions he had.
"So, Flaira, where exactly is your item bar, and inventory? I can't seem to-"
"Oh, right I forgot to tell you. I guess you didn't notice, yet, but you actually have a backpack that acts as your inventory. If you open it up, you get the box where you can put things in there and such. But the item bar… well, let's just say it's won't be fun getting attached…" Flaira giggled.
"Well… ok, I guess… you know, you never told me your age. How old are you exactly?"
"Oh! Yea, sorry about that. I guess never really told you much about me. Well, I'm 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months, my parents live in a village way out west, but I still visit every so often. I left the village to become a master of a weapon, the spear that you saw me use a while back. Along with that, I also decided to become a fire wizard, which explains the fire spell. Of course, still have a LOT to learn about my abilities with magic… anything else?" Flaira said, as she grabbed the cooked beef, and put in the chicken.
"So, what are we supposed to do now? I mean, why exactly did you-"
Suddenly, the door had started to break down from the zombie. Light had forgotten that zombies could break down wooden doors now. Flaira went to the door, went out and killed it with her spear.
"Shoot. Well, it looks like we're goanna have to run for it. There's a village not too far from here. Think you can make it?" Flaira said as she grabbed the crafting table and furnace.
"Sure. I could use an adrenaline rush. How many blocks would you say?" Light asked, as he chewed on a cooked pork chop.
"Well... I'd say about 300 blocks or so. We shouldn't have to worry though; it should be daytime soon." Flaira said, as she started to walk north.
"Hey! Wait up!" Light said, as he ran to catch up with her. So far, his experience has been going well. But it was all downhill from here, once glimpse ahead told him that this wasn't going to be very fun…. 20 zombies were advancing towards them, some of them with swords, and one with a golden helmet.
"Well, this should be fun." Flaira said; as she ran straight into the hoard of zombies, swinging her spear around, and proceeding to slice one of the zombie's head clean off. Light caught up with her, and proceeding to stab the zombie in the gut. The zombie groaned out in pain, and blood spurted out of his body, until Light sliced his head off. Two more zombies started to charge at him, and he dogged out of the way of one, and kicked the other in the leg, and made him trip, then Flaira jumped up, and stabbed the sharp end of the spear, and stabbed him straight in the back.
"Hey! That was my kil-" Suddenly, a zombie tried to slice at Light's arm, but he had just barely been out of the way, which allowed Light to slice off the zombies arm, but the zombie counterattacked, which sliced Light's arm clean open. Light fell back in pain, but cut the zombie's leg off, making him tumble to the ground. The zombie had dropped his iron sword, which Light used to kill off another 2 or 3 of them, but Flaria finished most of them off.
"Nothing like a good ol' beat down on some zombie to get your blood pumping huh?" Flaira Laughed.
"Yea, I guess… but my arm..." Light winced in pain, as Flaira came over, and gave him a bottle some sort of bright blue substance.
"Here, drink this. It'll help your wound." Flaira handed it to him, and he drank it. Almost instantly, the cut had gone away, and healed.
"Wha… how… what was that?" Light asked, as he moved his arm around freely.
"It was nothing really, just a combination of a healing/regeneration potion. I've still got plenty of them if you get hurt again, anyways, let's continue to the village." Flaira said, as she started to walk away.
"Hey! Wait up!" Light said, as he ran to catch up…again."
The walk there wasn't very entertaining. It was almost sunrise after the battle, and neither of them really talked. But eventually they got there by about noon, and the town was bustling. They walked down a gravel road, where apparently they had a little bit of a market. They sold all sorts of different things; from ores, to armor, to even different fruits spread across the land. They were just browsing through, and eventually they found themselves an inn. The cost was about 50 ore chunk, which was the currency of Hexxtoria. Luckily, Flaira had about 200 ore chunks, so they had enough to have a room for the night. The rest of the day, they decided to look at the market they passed by earlier. Flaira had been able to get her spear sharpened, and Light had bought two iron swords. They bought a couple of apples, and had about 20 ore chunks left. By that time, it was starting to turn night, and they went back to the inn.
"So, where are we heading next? I don't exactly know my way around the world…" Light asked, as he sat on his bed."
"We're heading towards the City of Hex. We're meeting a friend of mine there, and you'll learn exactly what's going on then."
"Ok then. We can grab some wood on the way out of the village, and continue from there. How far is it?"
"Not too far, but we might have to stop a night or two before we actually get there."
"Alright then, good night."
"Night." Flaira said, as she turned off the lights, and went to sleep. But Light still lied awake for a bit, looking back at what happened today. What does she need me for? Light thought. He thought about what happened today, and if it was going to get harder from here on out. He decided not to think too much about it, he had a long journey ahead of him, and it was best if he saved his energy. So, he shut his eyes, and went to sleep.
So, will the journey ahead of Light be difficult? And who is this person that Light and Flaira are going to meet? Will Light ever get his item bar? Find out in The Awakening!
