Welcome back my peeps! Thank you for reading, just seeing this story's traffic stats make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :D
I AM FOREVER SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY. But hopefully this much longer chapter can make up for it.
Guys, if you review anonymously twice, PLEASE keep your name the same. I don't want to add random letters in a word to the dictionary every chapter.
ANSWERS TO REVIEWS!
MechanixAngel: Well, the way I've designed it, if you wear diamonds, you MUST be famous or of high status. So wouldn't you follow the queen if she came strolling through town? (Remember guys, I'm Canadian) Also, just keep faith in me my friend! All will be explained in good time. And finally, I never said Herobrine was evil. All will be explained in good time.
Mellifluousness: 1: Your name took me about 10 tries to get right. 2: I'm usually a grammar Nazi, but thank you for getting those things I overlooked. :D 3: Thank you! The screenshot is actually in-game, but because my computer is an idiot, just like me, it can't handle mods, so the Aether portal is actually just a glowstone frame with water behind it. The entire thing was handmade.
Michaeltheminecrafter1: Thank you! If there is one thing I dislike, it's when the main heroes meet halfway through the story.
TheScoutWhoDrankTooMuchBONK: Thank you a lot!
5th Dimension: I agree. I'm just not that great at male characters.
: I am going to keep going, but I'm writing other MC Fanfics too.
First Reviewer: Thanks, I will.
AstuteSage9: Thanks, it's nice to get compliments once in a while. Also, the Aether is a mod; I CAN'T get it, stupid computers that can't handle mods…
Absol24: I'm surprised that ANYONE is actually reading this! I'd actually rate this a 6.
EpicPwner333: I hate writers who quit halfway through, too.
Greyskull20: It's not illegal to accidentally fall in love with someone you don't know is your cousin. Also, a war WILL break out, but not for that reason.
Cyber Angel Rowan: Thank you, (marshmallow voice) can we be friends? If you get that reference, YOU WIN!
Night wl: Well, wait no longer! For it is here!
DaguyunderNether: Thanks for the questions!
Guest: 0.o I'm trying, I'm trying, waaaaah! (Runs away crying, scared)
Lildannyd12: It's been sent in. Enderchild is away on holiday, so she can't respond for a while. Your OC is important to us. Please stay on hold for 1-2 more weeks.
(Sigh) That takes a while. Onto this chapter!
~O~
When I wake, I peer out the window, the sky is gray! What, does it turn brown or green or blood red? I attempt at getting more blissful sleep, but with no luck. Instead I get up and gather my few belongings, and, remembering the spree I had yesterday, decide to go kill some mobs. Maybe I'll see a cockatrice or an Aechor plant. Those things are so annoying.
Instead, when I wander out of the town, a few humans come out to greet me, most likely, but even with their arms stretched out, although asking for a hug or something, their green skin repulses me. As one nears me, instead of being nice like SOME decent people, the first thing it does is punch me! When I get up off the ground, it just knocks me down again! Being QUITE fed up, I lose my temper and slash its head off! Seeing that the others looking like it will do the same, I murder them too. Smirking to myself after receiving 7 rotten, uh, flush? No, wait, flesh. 7 rotten flesh and some exp, an arrow just barely misses me and hits a tree trunk. I fling myself around, and see someone's skeleton walking around with a bow, not to mention trying to KILL ME. So I behead it too.
Seeing as all these evils are gone, I go deeper into the forest. After a few minutes' worth of trek, I come across about 10 of the green humans. Knowing that in order to get the upper hand, you must surprise the enemy. So I wait until none of them are facing me, before I pounce. What was the metaphor that Father uses? Like an ocelot on a chicken. Whatever those are. GEEZ! I know next to nothing about this realm. I think I saw a library back in town. I'll have to visit it later. Of course, after I kill these things. Wait a second, it looks like they're chasing after something, or someone. But I want the stuff that they drop! I might be able to trade some of it. So I get out of my hiding spot and chase after them.
~O~
MEANWHILE:
_*()*_
I wake up, and my back cracks. I've had better rests. Suddenly, my stomach growls. I reach into my bag to grab some food… nothing. I forgot to bring food. I won't dare go into the town, but I can't starve either. There may be some animals I can kill to get meat. So I head towards the forest.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, COW! Within 10 seconds, it's dead and I'm eating the raw beef it dropped. But I'm still hungry, so I go deeper into the forest.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, PIG! It's dead, and eaten.
Nothing, nothing, nothing- crying kid? Due to kindness, and the fact that people here think it's odd for anyone to ignore a crying kid, I go over to him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask him.
He sniffles. "I was traveling with my dad, when I saw purple sparklies appear. So I went over, nothing was there, so when I went back to where my dad was, he was gone! "He sniffles again. " So now I'm hungry and lost and scared and hungry!" He starts crying again. And, did he say hungry twice?
Rolling my eyes, I say to him "I saw a town earlier this morning. Do you want me to take you there?" He nods, and off we go. I follow the few landmarks I left, bits of pork and beef, the animals' blood, and anything that stood out to me. Then I got lost. "We should be almost there." I tell him, and he nods. But I'm not so sure. So I stop and look around, for anything. A glance of sand, a break in the trees.
And that's where we are when the zombies start their ambush.
_*()*_
(Yes, sparklies is a word guys! Also, I would stop here, give you a cliff hanger, but I promised you guys an extra-long chapter.)

I try to fight back, but I'm outnumbered, got a little screaming kid to defend, AND I'M STILL HUNGRY! Even though I'm Herobrine's son, I give up. I accept my fate. I put my body above this kid's in a protective fashion, so when I die, I have a reason. I close my eyes and wait for death, but instead I receive multiple zombie screeches. I open my eyes to see the girl in diamonds fighting them all off, with a diamond sword! After a minute or so, they're all dead, and the girl offers me her hand. I gratefully take it, then help up the kid.
"Thanks. I needed a hand." I say to her.
"And I needed their flesh. I didn't even know anyone was there, until they were gone." She offers me her hand again. "My name's Zoea, what's yours?"
"I'm Daniel." And we shake.
" And who are you?" She asks the kid.
"I'm Jean." She nods to this.
"So, now that we all know each other, how about we all go back to town?" She suggests. We nod, and start to head back.
"So, you wouldn't happen to have any food, do you Zoea?" I ask her.
She rolls her eyes, then tosses me a cooked pork.
As the three of us reach town, someone calls to us.
"Jean, is that you?" We turn and see a man, calling to the kid.
" Daddy!" He calls before running to him. We look at each other. Daddy? Shaking it off, we go over to the pair.
" Oh, how ever can I repay you?" he asks us.
"No need. It's what any decent person would do." Zoea responds. Although I could go for some apples right now, I agree with her.
"I am in your debt. Please, come over to the hotel any time." He says to us.
"Of course. Goodbye!" She calls to them as they go.
Even though she's younger than me, I can't help but feel something for her. Either that, or it's the raw pork I had for breakfast.
_*()*_
Was that long enough for you? No? TOO BAD.
Questions! (I will NOT post questions that would spoil the story if the characters actually knew it.)
-Zoea: Do you even KNOW what it's like in the Overworld?
Zoea: I know some of it, but I have much to learn.
-Everybody: Have you ever heard of the End? It's a strange dimension where an evil dragon lives. The portal to it was hidden in an underground Fort, long broken down...
Zoea: Never heard of it. Then again, I don't know what half of the things here even are.
Daniel: Father spoke of it once, but when he noticed me listening, he changed the subject.
The rest: Yes.
Alright! Send in questions that wouldn't break the fourth wall and ruin the story!
This was the longest chapter yet! 4 pages on word!
REVIEW. NAOW. If I get 10 reviews on this chapter, I will start on a special bonus chapter!
