Protection chapter
Steve got up from his bed, feeling as rested as could be. He knew he had to go to the mines, but not in the same ones as yesterday. The man knew he had to go far away, and into the distant caves that had not been explored. The mines he had already visited were empty and didn't provide strong enough materials for black smithing. Being the only one miner in the entire village was hard job and obviously became very tiring. He faced a lot of dangers on his own, and the only dangers were monsters that appeared at night, and hid in darkness of the caverns during the day. It was a way of life Notch and Herobrine had created when molding this beautiful land. Steve walked down the gravel pathway to the blacksmithing area, in which there were any and all materials for crafting. He asked the old-looking man, a kind and generous fellow, to give him two iron pickaxes and one iron sword. After thanking the man, he continued on to the stable.
Steve was careless, therefore, he didn't notice the man who was watching him from the very tall building. The man who watched him almost looked the exact same as him, but with eyes bright and shining as white as fresh snow. The mysterious figure, known as Herobrine, didn't wear his usual set of clothes, but was currently in an all black wardrobe with gray boots. His white eyes followed the miner in the distance carefully, before he teleported one step ahead of the careless miner.
Steve lit the torch in the damp and pitch black cave, but this cavern was very rich with iron and coal that his village desperately needed. The miner ventured deeper as a zombie villager neared him with a scowl on its face. Steve wasn't suprised that he would find familiar monsters in this enviornment, so he used his iron sword and stabbed into the undead's body, making purplish blood splatter onto the cave's cold stone floor. Next, he spotted a vein of iron, which lined down the cave from the ceiling to it's bottom, but the cave wasn't extremely high, so he put himself to work.
Herobrine watched from unlit and dark part of the cave, very carefully hiding the glow from his bright eyes. His clothes were just dark enough to allow him to blend into the pitch black darkness, and stay hidden from sight.
*" Mortal, turn back and don't even try to flee from me, or else."* The voice sent a violent shiver down Steve's spine.
*" Do not be afraid. I come here to talk to you of something that is very important..."* Miner turned his head slowly and pressed his back against the cold wall of the cave, before his eyes slowly locked with the mythical man that haunted all humans nightmares...
Steve wasn't brave enough to talk nor try to run away with his tail between his legs. He was to terrified and he didn't try to even move an inch.
Herobrine moved from his hiding place, and Steve met those white, soulless eyes that belonged to the walking nightmare. He revealed himself from the darkness and completely stood in front of the miner, in all his glory.
*" What did you find in that stronghold just the other day...?"* Herobrine spoke in his human-alike voice, but to Steve, it rattled in his head, making his heart pound loudly in his chest as if it wanted to jump out of him.
Steve was unsure of if he would talk or be silent, but he decided to speak, gathering whatever courage he had left.
*"I have frightened you, have I not...?"* Herobrine asked.
" You did-" Steve cut himself off before he could finish his sentence, and Herobrine noticed the fear in his voice, so he tried to sound a bit more docile, perhaps even friendly, which was such an annoying task to him... Since the terror didn't have any human friends, he had befriended monsters over time - his loyal subjects.
"Don't hurt me please...!" Miner finally spoke and received a small, amused chuckle from the white-eyed man.
*"I'm not here to hurt you... I simply came here to ask you something. And if you don't tell me what I want to hear...I may change my mind about leaving you unharmed."*
Steve gulped and picked himself up and tried to speak again:
"OK...What do you want to know?" Steve asked as the younger brother of Notch took a deep breath, preparing to speak to his human doppleganger
