The Journal
A/N: Almost a week and 242+ views already. Keep em comin'! I'm learning the art of photoshop now, maybe I'll add an image/cover for this fic. "What? He knows how to make a story but is lame in photoshop?" Yes, I am like a caveman who just found out what fire is when I'm using photoshop. Totally horrible at photoshopping now. I can't even draw a straight line using it. But with time, I shall learn how to use it. Back to the story, as usual, it may contain weirdness and lack thorough detail, even if I try very hard but I will try harder to improve it.
Chapter 8: The Keeper of Everything
It's been a few days since the invasion ended, the city was peaceful again like it always has been. I've asked the scientist to make a teleporting machine a couple of days ago and now I've been checking up on them daily to see their progress. They just figured out how to mess with the balance of the universe and found a loop hole they could use to build a teleporter(they insisted on naming). Now, it's just a matter of time before they finish. It could take years and years.
Time passed by slowly as I waited. I did over a hundred jobs to pass the time. But it still was slow. I felt like a turtle trying to get the ocean which was miles and miles away.
-New Paper-
A few weeks have gone by, they're still building the base of the teleporter. I'm going crazy here!
Lately, I've been distancing my wife and wolf without even realising it. She was the one who gave me the wake up call, but, she understood that I wanted to see Emma again. I haven't seen her in months. Even if I get drugged, knocked out, pass out from exhaustion, I still couldn't see her. I need to see my daughter.
-New Paper-
I met an old man today. He had a white beard and a good personality. I liked him. We became friends instantly after I met him. He told me he was some sort of keeper. But I wasn't sure what type of keeper. He was too old to be a goal keeper, not too shady to be a morgue keeper, maybe he was a time keeper cause he had a small pocket watch hanging from his pocket.
-New Paper-
It hit me. Hard. I just realised. He was also a person who teleported here. His pocket watch, it wasn't made from Minecraft Iron. It was made using brass and the hands were forged from cast iron. The people here didn't know what brass or cast iron was. How did I know it was brass? Well, let's just say I've been reading someone's homework.
I had to see him. I had to know how he got here.
I've spent hours waiting for him in our usual spot. He hasn't arrived but I won't give up hope.
Finally, he arrived. I told him everything and he just smiled at me.
"Follow me." He said and I just obeyed and followed him like a puppy.
After half an hour of walking, we reached an entrance to a basement. It was located somewhere in the really abandoned parts of the city. He went inside and I followed right behind him closing the doors behind me.
"Took you awhile to figure out,"
"Huh. I just realised it."
"As you know, I am a keeper. But what you don't know is that I am the Keeper of Life"
"You mean you're the guy called Notch?"
"No, no. He created me just like he created everything in the world of Minecraft, I am just the Keeper of All Things that Live. For example, these humans, animals & plants are under my command. I can do anything to them. I can make them live for hundreds of years without aging or heal them who are sick but I cannot do it too often because it will attract attention."
"Uh-huh. Well, if you are the Keeper of Life, then why not kill the evil?"
"You still don't get it do you?"
"Um.. I'm afraid not."
"I can only make you immortal or heal your injuries. I have no power to bring death. Only Herobrine does."
"Herobrine?"
"Yes, Herobrine. The Deathbringer. He brings all evil and plagues these lands with death and destruction for his own desire to raise an army of the dead. He is the gatekeeper of the Nether."
"So, he's your evil brother or something?"
"Close, He is Notch's blood brother. He created Herobrine to balance this universe He created. 'For all life, there shall be death. For all good, there shall be evil.' Were Notch's last words before he vanished for thousands of years. No other Keepers have seen him since. Not even the Keeper of Time."
"Wow. So, tell me, how many Keepers are there exactly?"
"7 to be exact. First there is me, second is Herobrine, third is Jeremy the Keeper of Time, fourth, Oswald the Keeper of Magic, fifth, Izaak the Keeper of Metals, sixth, Arianna the Keeper of the Weather, lastly, Argon the Keeper of Knowledge."
"Double wow. So you're all gods or something?"
He just placed a hand on my shoulder and we teleported somewhere in a clouded place.
"Since, you don't understand what I'm saying. I decided to introduce them to you."
First we met a brunette woman with long hair.
"This is Arianna. She is the Keeper of the Weather."
"Hi." She said to me. I just gave her a smile.
Next, we met a muscular bearded dwarf.
"This is Izaak. Keeper of Metals."
"How ya doin', lad? Been watching yer fights lately. They were quite a sight to see." He laughed. I just forced a smile.
Next, we met a man holding an hourglass in hand. He looked pretty old and but strong looking.
"This is Jeremy. The Keeper of Time."
"You still have plenty of time to live, son. Use it wisely." He told me. I nodded and thanked him for the advice.
Next up, we met a man with a floating book infront of him.
"This is Argon. As you can tell, he is the Keeper of Knowledge. Go on, ask him something."
"Um.. How do you make a teleporting machine?"
"You mean a time machine. It's fairly difficult to construct one, as it takes about 10-15 years give or take 5 years. You will also need to find a loop hole within the universe's time continuum and use it's force to travel within any time zone or period you wish. You will also need atleast 20 scientists to build a time machine. Once you are done, you are able to go back in time or go way into the future. But be warned, if you alter the future or the past, you will alter the present. If you do not believe in my words, you may ask Jeremy the Keeper of Time."
"Ok, thanks for the tutoring. I'll try and keep all of that in mind."
After we left the Keeper of Knowledge, we met a wizard who was working on some sort of potion. He wore a pointy wizard hat which was blue in color with stars on it.
"This is Oswald. Keeper of Magic."
"How do you do? Say, could you pass me that jar of newt eyes?"
I stepped forward and grabbed the jar and passed it to him. He took out an eye from inside it and dropped it into his cauldron. A cloud of smoke popped out from the cauldron, I jumped back a little. He laughed at me.
"Not to worry, this is just a potion of fire resistance. Great for fighting Blazes in the Nether"
He took out a glass bottle and filled it with some of the liquid in the cauldron and handed it over to me.
"Have it as a gift from me. You may need it one day." I just nodded and said my thanks to him.
The Keeper of Time placed a hand on my shoulder and we teleported again. Now we were in a place that was filled with lava and rotting pigmen. This must be the Nether.
"This, nameless one, is the Nether. This is where Herobrine dwells. The rotting pigmen you see here were in his army once but then they all fled when he needed them and now they are forced to wander in the endless planes of the Nether for eternity."
He placed his hand on my shoulder again and we teleported to a room made of maverick colored bricks. A man was chained on the wall. He looked up and what I saw shocked me.
