Ok I have some time on my hands now so let's get cracking!
Chapter 3
Jet sat at the table sharpening his sword with a piece of flint when Thalia came back from her first time hunting, she held a fairly small piece of raw chicken in her hand but she looked proud of it none the less. As she walked up and put the chicken in the furnace to cook and sat by Jet "that was harder than I thought it was, how do you do it?" Jet grinned and said "well you have to follow it around a while out of sight until it doesn't notice you, then you attack" they sat there for a few minuets thinking then Thalia said "it may get boring for you but I like the quiet" Jet considered this then said "I just want some adventure someday". The rest of the day was spent on Thalia's room, putting rugs on the floor with multiple colors, and then Jet had an idea "have you ever tried painting?" Thalia saw where he was going and said "why not?" and so Jet set up a wooden canvas on the front yard and watched Thalia use dyes they made to color the thin sheet of wool. When she was done he had to pick the dye out of her long gold hair, as he did this she responded with an "ow!" and he would try to suppress a laugh. The finished product was amazing, it was a full painting of the sunset, Jet saw their small house on the hills and was astonished by her handiwork, after looking it over for a while they put it up in Thalia's room "I wish it was in both our rooms" and thalia said "why not?", after a few hours they had taken out the wall that had separated their rooms and set up the beds on the walls opposite each other, with the new room they had space for nightstands and lamps.
The next morning Thalia stood outside with a piece of bread, munching it slowly, when she saw a herd of cows not far from the forest, with a second herd of pigs walking around the hills, she got an idea and told Jet, and later they had two saddled pigs ready to ride. The next three days went by and they had built a stable for the pigs.
Then something happened that changed them forever.
As they sat on the grass out front they saw a figure in the distance coming closer. The closer it got the more detail they could see, it was on a pig, it was a boy, wearing iron armor with a long hooded red cape over his head, he was about 10 yards away when Jet noticed his hair, deep black and right to his eyes, which by now they could tell were glowing gold in the shadow. The boy, around Jet and Thalia's age by the looks of him, stopped the pig a few feet from the house and dismounted, his eyes were looking everywhere, as if for danger. He spoke and said "hello, my name is Sam" and Jet and Thalia introduced each other, the pair was astonished that there were more people then just them "you probably have a lot of questions so lets go inside" they followed him in and sat in the chairs by the fireplace, Jet spoke first "who are you? You're the second person I've met after Thalia, what are you doing here?" he nodded, as if he was expecting that "I am nobody as far as you know, you see I come from a land across the sea to the north of here, we have lived in peace for many centuries until evil spread from the nether, a land of fire and the home of Herobrine, the leader of the nether empire. For years he has dictated our lives to the brink of madness, and then we started to rebel, which brought the worst fate possible upon us. "They came in the night, endermen, took 10 children from each rebelling kingdom, erased their memories and set them on this island, most of the children died because of hunger or monsters, but the ones that lived became symbols for the rebellion, like you two. Now I'm on a mission to take you back to help us" after taking some time to process this information Thalia said "so should we destroy our portal?" "Yes, as soon as possible" and with that they went out and broke the obsidian forming the portal "ok then, when your ready well leave" said Sam, the sun began to go down so they went inside, as Jet and Thalia packed necessities Sam sat on the couch and opened a book, when Jet looked over he saw him making strange hand movements, his hand came to a stop and a spark came from his fingertips, Jet watched in awe then went back to packing.
The next morning the trio saddled their pigs and readied to go, Jet and Thalia looked back at their house; it had been their place of safety in scary times, now they were out in the world. Jet looked at Thalia who smiled and opened her pack, showing her painting of the sunset on the house and said "well always have this" and they turned and followed Sam north.
Alright! I guess I could use some more time on chapters but hey, rate and review!
