Chapter 7
Finding Surprises
"Nice! We got some pretty cool stuff, eh'?" "We sure did!" I replied. "Hey look, it's almost morning!" "So, what do you want to do?" he asked, "I don't know, what should we do?" "How about we go exploring?" "Sure! Sounds good!" I said. "Look, it's the snow biome! We haven't been there yet." "Yeah, let's go!" we then started venturing off into the snow biome. As we arrived there we saw something unusual. As we came closer we started to see a shape… it looked like a little cottage with a smoke stack. "I wonder who lives there." I said. We then knocked on the door. Knock Knock. "AHHHHH!" the doors then swung open and this man came out swinging his sword like a maniac and hit hamel509 and I! "HEY!" I said, "Whoa! We won't hurt you!" "Oh… sorry about that I just get startled easily." He said. "It's okay; can I ask what your name is?" I asked. "Sure, it's Thebluekight, what's yours?" "Oh, I'm Lazycooldude778 and this is Hamel509." "Oh, cool names!" "So what are you guys doing out here?" "Oh, we're just exploring." I said, "Hey do you want to explore with us?" I asked. "Ummm…. Sure!" "Alright! But you might need to gather up some of you belongings and tools." I told him, "Okay!" he then rushed into his house and grabbed his stuff. As he came back out I saw a few things I hadn't seen before. I then asked, "What is that stuff and why are you riding a pig?" "Oh, I found this stuff in a chest. It was a stone sword, saddle, carrot and stick, ender pearl, book and quill, and a full set of leather armor. But the book and quill has already been written in, except it doesn't name the author." "Hmmm… that's weird." I exclaimed. Maybe we'll find out on our adventure! Hey what's the title?" "Oh, it's called A Guide to Minecraft." "Hmm… let's keep it just in case we come across something unusual." "Okay!" he said. We then left out into the snow forest. "Hey, look! It's a pit of lava!" "Cool!" they both said, "Hey, I can scoop up some lava with my bucket!" said Hamel509. "Sure! Go ahead." I said. He then scooped it up and put it away. I started getting dark out and we had nowhere to stay, so we sat down at a tree. We waited awhile until finally we got up and started walking. "Be on the watch, evil lurks everywhere in the night." I said. We herd some disturbing noises. We looked around and from the trees a spider jockey jumped at us with an army of spiders behind him. "RUN!" I said, we then bust into a sprint and ran as fast as we could. We turned around saw it coming for us. "Stand your ground guys, we'll have to fight this one" I said with confidence. We drew our swords and stood back to back. They finally had us surrounded. We then leaped into the air and took a slash at the spiders. I twirled my sword around and swung it at another spider while chopping off its body. Hamel509 spun in a circle as three spiders jumped at him; killing them all. Theblueknight took his sword on his pig and charged at one, and stabbed it in the gut. There was one left… the spider jockey. It wore a golden helmet, as a sign of respect. We took our swords by our sides; Hamel509 had his bow drawn back, ready to fire at any moment. "What do you want from us?" I asked, "I have been sent here to kill you…" "And I must return you to my master…" he said very slyly. "Well, keep dreaming bones, cause you're going down!" I said. We then charged at him, sword in hand, and took a slash at him, but before we could hit him he jumped backwards and shot an arrow at us. It drove right into the ground below our feet. Hamel509 shot an arrow and hit the spider dead center in the face. The skeleton jumped off the dead spider and dropped his bow and pulled out an iron sword. He then deflected one of Hamel509's arrows. I seized the moment while he deflected the arrow and stabbed him. Theblueknight then jumped up and struck hard on the way down. The skeleton then fell over with bones scattered everywhere and a gold helmet, bow, iron sword, and a note fell on the ground. "Hey look, there's a note on the ground! What does it say?" Theblueknight asked. I picked it up and read: Sir Bones, you will be sent to kill three adventurers you will find them in the snow forest. If you kill them I will reward you with 100 gold ingots. –Israphel son of Herobrine "Who's Israphel?" I said, wondering to myself. "Hey, maybe it's in the book!" I said. We then opened the book and saw that there was no Israphel. "Well, anyways, we did a good job on killing that Sir Bones guy." "Yeah, we sure did!" they both said. We then set off to find new suprises.
