Chapter 3: Asylum
The man looked at the enderchild who had a red blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Checking the surroundings, he couldn't see any enderfolk. "Where are your parents?" he asked. Ash felt tears prick his magenta eyes "Dead…" he whispered. The man looked quite shocked.
"I suppose I could take you under my wing for now," he said " Just don't break anything, ok?" Ash nodded his head and went inside.
Time skip…
The man, known as Herobrine, was setting up a spare bed for Ash, who was busy munching on some cookies. He then came to the table where Ash was. "Tell me about what happened," he said. Ash gulped down his cookie.
"Well," Ash started "I never knew my dad because he passed away before I was born . I don't know if I have any grandparents, uncles, aunties or cousins. I didn't have any brothers or sisters. I only had my mum."
"What happened to your mother" Herobrine questioned.
Ash froze with wide eyes as the vivid memories rushed past. "She was killed," he whispered "by a player who she met before."
"Have you had any thoughts of, you know, getting rid of that guy?" Herobrine asked.
"No," Ash yawned, "I just feel sad and tired."
"Well then," Herobrine got up "I guess we should call it a day."
Ash saw him walk up the stairs, "Excuse me, sir?"
"What is it Ash?" Herobrine asked.
"Well, um, thanks for letting me stay here," Ash continued.
"It's no problem really," Herobrine chuckled, "Just call me Hero." With that, he left.
Ash settled down in his bed. Grateful to whatever deities there were for being able to stay wit a kind person. It was obvious that Hero was a player, but why did he live so far from a city or something? Ash closed his eyes, and waited to embark the land of dreams. Maybe he could find some answers there….
