Chapter 4

Jet, Thalia and Sam stopped for the night before continuing, and then went through a forest." What is it like where you come from?" Jet asked Sam

"It's very nice; we had plenty of room to live in until Herobrine came along" then Sam turned and looked ahead as they saw a small river in their path "I have a boat downstream that we're taking" As they followed the river Thalia saw the boat, it had a single mast, a few portholes in the hull, and the words 'conqueror' on the sides, they boarded and put the pigs in the cargo hold while Sam took the wheel "she's a beauty isn't she? The rebellion put a lot of money into finding the captured children, unfurl the mast Jet"

Jet took hold of a rope and pulled, the mast was white with something that made them gasp

It was Thalia's painting

Jet stared in awe at the picture, it looked exactly like Thalia's, but below it was a banner that read 'for a free minecraftia' "how did you know what it looked like?" Jet said to Sam, who replied "I actually found it, our mages have magic that allowed us to see it" both Jet and Thalia turned slightly red, how long had they been watching them? As if he read their thoughts Sam said "don't worry only I saw anything besides the painting" he winked and said "your secret is safe" Jet looked around the boat, they were leaving the shore now and he could see the sea in the distance, he returned the subject to Sam by saying "I saw you make a spark in your hand before we left, how did you do that?" Sam replied "my spell book, mutter a few words and make some hand motions and you can do anything" he then flicked his free wrist and said "opum iorta!" and a jet of flames came from his hand, he then slumped on the wheel "it really drains you though, and I only know fire spells so far"

While the boys talked Thalia went down below the ship, it had a cabin with 4 beds on the wall and a captains quarters with a map, she opened the third door and fed the pigs some wheat and thought to herself, what was my life like before I was kidnapped? Did I have a family? Siblings? Were they killed? She thought for a moment then stopped at a question, how does Jet see me? She pondered and pondered until her head ached. When she at last came topside the torches were put out and Jet and Sam were crouched by the rail, she went over and said "what's going on?" Jet quietly said "Sam said there was a ship coming closer" and as she looked she saw a light in the distance, a huge ship with large cannons and a black flag with two white eyes staring at them "empire warship, stay down" said Sam "I'm going to try something" and he lit a small spark in his hands and whispered "kai eifr" and it flew over the ship, once it was on the other side it lit up very bright and kept flying, the ship turned and followed. The fog thickened and they had to stop the ship to avoid a crash "well," said Jet "we'd better get some sleep until the fog passes, I'll take first watch" and so Jet stood on the ship's deck and surveyed the area until it was Sam's turn.

Sam sat on the stairs that headed to the steering wheel and wondered what would happen if they were caught, he laughed to himself; they wouldn't be caught in a million years. He crept down to the cabin to tell Thalia it was her watch, he saw her and Jet sleeping so peacefully that he didn't wake them up, as he watched them sleep opposite each other he noticed Jet's hand was unconsciously moving towards Thalia's, he saved her life, thought Sam to himself, that is something better than any friendship.

Jet woke up bright and early and walked to the deck to see Sam leaning on the mast, asleep with his hands on his lap, Jet snapped in front of his face and he jumped yelling "opum iorta!" and flames danced on his hands "don't do that! I might have set the ship on fire!" and he stood up and said "im going to bed, your welcome" and as he walked by Jet he whispered "you two looked adorable", making him red. He then went to the steering wheel until Sam was good and rested, Thalia was becoming more bored by the minute until she saw something in the distance, she squinted and yelled "land ho!" the fog began to clear and the three saw a large island with a town a few miles offshore "there's a man we can meet up with in that town, he'll take us to the rebellion leaders"

They hid the ship in a cove and rode through the forest surrounding the town, as they got closer they saw a large wall with guard towers and a large gate with two large guards on either side, they approached slowly and after a lot of fake names and accusations they were let inside, Sam kept his hood up all the time inside. "Look for the chicken's feather inn, our friend will meet us there" the trio scanned the streets for it until they found the inn, a large building next to the farmers market. As they walked inside they saw a front desk and a doorway to the lobby, "we'd like a room please" said Thalia and they received their key, after setting their things in the room they went down to the lobby and sat at a table "he's late, he should have a large green cape and hood so be on the lookout" they sat for a few minuets until they saw him. Green hood and cape, large muscled man, short-cut blonde hair and serious complexion, he casually walked over and sat at their table. "So" he addressed Jet and Thalia in a gruff voice "you two are the survivors, nice to meet ya, names Bruce" then he nodded at Sam who said "Bruce is one of our undercover informants, has a 'bakery' not to far from city hall." "Good way to hear the 'news'" said Bruce "now, down to business, the rebellion has a way of transporting informants in secret, you have t-" but cut himself off when he saw four men walk into the lobby, empire symbols on their clothes, he lowered his voice to a whisper and said "I hear that Tommy's gold shop down the street has some very interesting things for sale, he'll give you a good deal for half an apple, tell 'em Bruce says hi, welcome to broadingale" and then left, as if he never was there.
