Chapter 3: Sins of Our Father
A couple of hours later, according to Raine, I woke up. The shaman was standing beside me chanting some sort of spell, this continued for the next few minutes. I got up once he finished he chant. I felt less dizzy now.
"What happened?" Raine said as she placed her hand on my face. It was so warm against my cheek.
"I.. My head hurt. Then.. I blacked out somehow." I said. She just kept her hand on my cheek.
"Did you have any dreams while you passed out?" The shaman asked me. I nodded.
"I had a vision about my daughter." I told him.
"What happened in the vision?" I heard Raine say to me.
"Well, I got beat up by some guy and got a concussion." I told them.
"Concussion?" I heard them say in unison.
'How come they don't know what that means?' I wondered.
"It's another word for head injury." I said to them.
"Oh!" They said and nodded.
"Then what happened?" The shaman asked.
"I found out her name, not mine. Then I woke up." I sighed feeling sad.
They just nodded. I got up from the bed and proceeded to walk out the door. I could see Brodun and the puppy in his lap sitting on the log outside the shack. He place the puppy on the ground and walked towards me.
"Sire, quite a fall you had. Is everything all right?" He asked me.
"Everything's fine. Let's go. Go and get Loraine and we'll head back to her place." I told him and he just nodded and went inside.
A few moments later the shaman and Raine came out of the shack along with Brodun.
"I owe you many thanks shaman." I nodded towards the shaman.
"Your welcome, nameless one." He smiled at me.
We took of a few a moments to before we left to Raine's house. A few minutes of walking later, we arrived at her rather small home. Raine invited us in and we entered her home. It was nicely decorated for a small house. There were a few paintings hanging on the walls, a few placed on the table by the door.
"Lovely home you got here, Loraine." Brodun commented at the sight of her house's interior design.
"Thank you." She giggled a bit.
She placed some pillows on the couches and along with a few blankets.
"If you guys don't min-" I cut her off before she could finish the sentence.
"That's okay. We'll happily take your offer." She shyly smiled at me.
"Come now, little puppy. I've got some fresh pork chops in the ice box." She said as she picked the puppy up and took him to the kitchen. Her figure dissapeared as she went through the kitchen doorframe.
After she left, I asked Brodun who was still walking around the house.
"Hey Brodun! What year is it?" I whispered to him.
"Huh? Oh. Umm. If I remember correctly, it's 1867 MY." He whispered back.
"MY?" I whispered back looking at him with utter confusion.
"Minecraft Years, Sire." I just nodded at him in response.
'Minecraft Years? Where the hell am I? They are all wearing clothes that exist in the 21st century from my world. How is that possible? This is getting weird.'
"Hey, you." I heard Raine say. I looked up at her and smiled
"Deep in thought I see. Anyway, the puppy's fed. You figured a name for him yet?" She said as she held the puppy. It just continued to lick her hands.
"Yeah, how about Leon?" I said as I pat his small head.
"Sounds good. Do you like that, Leo?" She asked the puppy. It just barked.
"Sounds like a yes to me." I grinned at her. She smiled at me and place Leon on the floor.
"There's some cooked meat in the kitchen, your welcomed to take a strip or two." I just nodded at her.
"Well, I'm off to bed" She said as she went to her room.
"Oh, and if you need anything, the door's open." She yelled from her room. She blew out the torch in her room and went to her bed. Leon ran in and jumped in with her. 'Betrayer.' I thought.
Before we went to sleep, I asked Brodun one last thing.
"Hey Brodun."
"Yes, sire?
"Where am I?"
"You're in Loraine's house remember?"
"No, I mean. What is this place?"
"This, your Highness. Is the land of Minecraftia."
"Minecraftia huh. That explains the Minecraft Years."
"Indeed, sire."
"Well, good night."
"Good night."
And with that I fell asleep.
It's still nightfall. I could hear the sounds of moaning and explosions outside. Did we get overrun?
There was something bashing at the door. Thankfully, Raine and Brodun nor Leon woke up from the sounds. So I decided to check it out.
As I got there, there was something beyond the door. I took my bow in hand and some arrows. I place one arrow on the bow and pulled the string back. Slowly, I opened the door and the moaner was right there. Just standing. I didn't want to take any chances so, I released my grip from the string. The moaner drop to the ground, it was still moving around. I took out my arrow and stabbed it straight to head of the moaner. Blood came spurting out. Some of it hit my face, I just wiped it off like was water. What is wrong with me? I killed a former human being like it was nothing. Soon, a few more came by and I had to get rid of them. I wasn't really fast with my bow so I figured I had to use hand to hand combat. There were atleast 5 of them. I exhaled.
I took the first one out using my bow. The second one charged at me, I punched it square in the head, it fell to ground. The third one shuffled towards me, I just kicked it on it's rotted shin bone, It broke and it fell to the ground. I delivered the final blow to it's head, ending it's suffering. The fourth one came towards me from behind, I turned at grabbed it by the shoulders, I gave it repeated blows from my knee to it's head. I didn't realise it was dead until it's skull cracked and it's brain liquid dampen my pants. I was panting as I let go of the lifeless body. The final one came towards me. I ran towards it and gave it a clothesline. It fell to the ground, I procedeed to stomp on it's head repeatedly. Oblivious to my surroundings.
I didn't realise someone was watching until I heard a cough. I turned to see Raine looking at me. Almost horrified at the sight of me, covered in blood.
"I'm sorry." was the only thing I could choke out.
"For what?" She said standing at the door.
"For.. For waking you." I didn't make eye contact with her.
"Oh. That's.. That's alright. Please, come back in." She grabbed me by the shoulders and pushed me back inside her house. I left a blood trail as I walked.
An hour later, me and Brodun went to check out the bodies. Raine kindly let me wear her clothes, which were a bit too tight for my body. I, however, thought it was better than wearing nothing.
Brodun held a torch in hand and shone it towards the bodies. I was horrified to see that 2 of the moaners were once guards. We piled all of them up to burn. Me and Brodun built a sort of tower made from wood we gather from the nearby forest. After we finished placing the last log, Raine did the honor of igniting the tower.
I felt the hand of Raine on my back, making soothing patterns using here thumb. I let my head rest upon hers. I sighed deeply. I'm a monster. Just then, I thought about my daughter, Emma. What would she think of me if she were here. Somehow, even if I don't really remember her, I'm afraid I'll hurt her.
