Rays of sunlight grazed at my cheeks, it was burning. My head rose from its topiarian pillow with leaves and twigs that jostled around my mess of hair. Gathering myself I had realized what I had done.
"I've killed Herobrine." I said quietly at first. Then again, and finally another that ended as a barbaric shout.
"I've killed Herobrine!" I yipped to the heavens.
"Wouldn't be yelling something like that out loud, miss." A grungy voice declared.
My head whipped, and forestry along with it, towards the voice. There stood a man of muscular build with the height of a bear. He looked fit enough to take one on, actually.
"Name's Calibur. And before you go introducing yourself like some kind of story character, I would like to say you're on my land." His accent was thick like it was slapped on him as a child. His lips moved in a constant jitter and he spat out a black substance every other moment. From what I gather he seemed like a country man, though not as friendly as the ones I had met so far.
"Your land? What do you mean; isn't this land free to all that roam it?" I asked.
"Whoa there Pocahontas. I ain't here to give a lady a lesson, but if you don't explain yourself soon, I'm deftly afraid you're going to regret it." He said with the tip of his hat.
Quickly, I mustered a blatant lie. "I'm lost. I-I ran away from my husband. He was very violent and I've put up with his abuse, and ran away. I don't know where to go, I just kept running until my legs gave out." It was pretty close to the real story actually.
"Must explain the horse?" He tilted his heads toward my nightmare stallion.
"I had found him near the clearing, he had been afraid. Must be a run away, too. Like me." I hoped the man would eat my words, his leather belt held an odd shaped object. Like a piece of metal bent like an L. On the other end of the belt held a gleaming dagger, which I hoped wouldn't need to be used.
With the thought of his dagger, I thought of my own. Suddenly I realized I had been sitting on it the entire time as I felt the cold blade on my rear skin. I made sure to keep it hidden from the man at all times.
"If what you say is true, I guess I could make an exception. But if you dare lie to me, or worse, attack me, I swear to the creators above you won't even have time to scream." His voice slowly hushed to a whisper. I wasn't afraid, though. Even as the man bent closer to my face the only thing I felt was success. Success of fooling this simpleton to take pity on me. Oh, only if Herobrine had been here this man would not even know the definition of fear. Yes, Herobrine would instill panic and pain into this man like no one else could.
"C'mon now. You ain't gonna be sitting there in the dirt all day." He beckoned forward before he started walking on a downtrodden path.
"My name's Camille!" I yell out toward the man. He grunted in response. I could lie about my last name like usual, no harm in having someone know my real name, I thought.
As I grabbed my steed and walked, I begin to wonder why I had started to think of Herobrine in an almighty light. Though I must admit, if he had anything to be superior against, it would be his power over human emotion and mind.
The long awaited update has, at long last, been posted. In this new chapter of our hero's journey we meet a new character!
Calibur is a rough and dirty cowboy raised in the No Man's Land of the plains. Blistering summers and freezing winters toughened this manbear which would most likely lead to the constant scowl on his beard prickled face. As grungy as he looks, he is only 25 years of age, living alone in the outskirts of a countryside town.
So that was my character summary of Calibur, it pays to read these Author Comments at the bottom of the page. I can offer little tidbits of information of these characters that you otherwise wouldn't know as you read!
BTW: I'm thinking of starting a new story soon. Minecraft themed, but it will not be the main focus of the story. The character's will be, though. It will be the Yogscast, set in their Tekkit world and will center on the war Rythian is itching to start and his trials and tribulations. Will be multi-POV with comedic side relief from Honeydew Inc., Rail Bros., and Owl Sanctuary including (hopefully) EVERYONE from the Tekkit server. I just wanted to put my own take on it, really. :)
