Sky's POV-
I thought I was dead. But... I wasn't. I groaned in pain as I opened my eyes, the black tint of my sunglasses shielding my eyes away from the sun's rays above me. I slowly hauled myself to my feet and looked around. I realized that I was back in the same meadow that I passed by last night. I quickly looked at my arms and saw that they were bandaged up with buttery-colored cloths. I ran my left hand across my right arm, the cloth felt soothing and soft to the touch. I couldn't feel my injuries at all, thanks to these cloths. Who could have done this? Then, I quickly remembered back about last night. "What was that thing... and why did it save me?" I wondered out loud to myself.
Suddenly, I heard the same thundering footsteps as before. I quickly turned around and gasped. Towering right in front of me was a golem. But... there was something extremely different about it. It had a buttery pattern instead of the normal iron pattern, vines grew from its shoulder and ended to its foot, sprouting yellow flowers. The golem lumbered towards me, its red eyes staring at me. I instantly knew that it was going to attack me. I started walking backwards, away from the utility mob. I tripped over my foot and start scooting away using my hands and feet. Suddenly, my back hit the trunk of a tree. I looked in helplessness as the mob got closer to me.
"Look, if you're going to kill me, just make it quick so I don't have to feel any more pain than I already do," I cried out, out of options and realizing there was no other way out. I shielded myself with my arms and waited for the golem to end my life.
But, after a few seconds, nothing happened. I slowly looked at the golem, and realized that it was just standing there silently. Then, the golem turned its head slightly and slowly reached one of its arms towards the vine on its shoulder. It picked one of the yellow flowers and extended its hand out towards me with the plant. I looked at the flower, then I looked at from the golem. I turned my gaze at the flower and slowly, I reached a trembling hand towards the glowing plant. When I grab the stem, the golem released the flower from his hand. I looked at the flower, its yellow petals glowing heavenly and bright, giving sort of a warm feeling within me.
"Um... thank you?" I said uneasily to the golem.
"... Welcome," I heard the golem respond in a heavy voice. I gasped at this. Golems could talk!? Either I'm dead or I've gone so insane that things are starting to talk to me. Then, I heard the golem say, "Crush flower. Powers will heal cuts." I looked at the plant. If I crush it, it will heal me? Well, there was only one way to find out. I crushed the flower in my hand, then I opened my palm. The petals started flying from my hand and I watched as the petals danced around my arms and legs, glowing brightly. Then, they infused themselves into the yellow cloths, making them light up. I winced in slight pain and when they all disappeared, I immediately felt relief. I removed a cloth from my right arm and saw the cuts were no longer there. Gently, I took off all the cloths, no signs of my cuts, as if I wasn't even attacked. I got to my feet and glanced at the golem.
"Thanks, but... look, don't take this the wrong way, but are you really a Butter Golem?" I asked, unsure if the budder pattern it had was real. The golem doesn't respond. It only took a few steps to the center of the meadow and spread its arms out. The rays of the sun came down and reflected off of the golem, making it light up brightly.
The light was so intense, I had to look away slightly. Even my sunglasses couldn't protect my eyes. I gaped in shock. No doubt about it, this... was the Butter Golem. Then, I remembered reading several books about legendary mobs. The Butter Golem is the protector of any large forest it lives in and will protect anything from the Ender Wolves. When it finds injured Minecrafters, it will heal them using the buttery flowers that grows on its vine. However, there are only a few in existence in the entire world. What the chances of being saved by a tall, lumbering, and awesome-looking mob like this? Once the light died down, I walked up to the golem.
"Well, thank you for saving me. You have no idea how grateful I am that you saved me. My name is Adam, but most just call me Sky," I said. The golem nodded, the flowers on its vine blooming out bigger. Then, the golem stared at me with curiosity.
"Why you here, alone in forest?" The golem asked. Despite the golem's unique way of speaking, I understood what it was telling me completely.
I responded by saying, "Well, it's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short. A person named Herobrine and an army of Squids have teamed up and destroyed a city known as CubeCity, a peaceful place that I once protected. The only ones that escaped the disaster that happened upon CubeCity was me and several of my friends. But now, because some of them won't cooperate with each other, I left them so they could gather the special weapons and summon Notch to help them. Me? I don't even know what I'm going to do..."
"Herobrine..." The golem said slowly. "Evil man of Nether. Notch... good man of Aether." The golem stood thinking for a bit, then it slightly jolted up in a realization.
"Sky... you must return to friends," The golem responded. I looked up in confusion.
"But I can't. I just needed to get away from them, let them collect the next weapon while being lead by two of my best friends. Besides, the horrible things that have happened to me, I don't understand why Notch didn't save the city, why he didn't save my friends... why he didn't save me..." I stopped there, the hurtful emotions beginning to return. I barely managed to hold back a sob as a lone tear escaped out of my left eye and fell to a tall blade of grass. I looked up as the Butter Golem gazed upon me with a warm look.
Then, the golem said, "Adam... Notch couldn't help... because of Herobrine being brother."
"I know that, but what do you mean?" I asked, knowing the fact that Herobrine was Notch's brother.
"I know lot about gods from heaven and hell. Herobrine was good at one time. He and Notch ruled Overworld together and everything was peaceful. One day, after thousands of years, Herobrine and Notch had fight. Herobrine wanted Overworld to himself, but Notch knew his heart darkening. When Herobrine brought dead from ground, everything was in flames. Notch had no choice but to banish Herobrine to Nether. Notch ruled Aether and Overworld without brother. After what you tell, Notch didn't help... because he have mercy for Herobrine," The golem slowly said, stuttering some words now and then while emphasizing the facts by waving its arms about.
I thought hard about what the golem said last. Notch had mercy for his brother? Was he afraid to fight against his brother again because he didn't want to cause any more pain towards him? By letting him take our world away!? By letting him destroy the city that I had once protected!?
"No... get ahold of yourself, Adam," I thought to myself. Maybe this golem was right. Maybe... Notch doesn't want to fight against his brother, not wanting to see him in pain. I never knew that the god that ruled the Overworld and the Aether would still spar the Nether god. But after all, Herobrine is his brother. And from what I learned from the golem's explanation, Herobrine was good at one point of his immortal life. Perhaps... Notch may have sent this golem to save me. And he wanted me to save the world because he chose me out of all of the Minecrafters that live in this world... but... why me?
Suddenly, the golem jerked up and looked towards the forest in alarm. I noticed the golem do this and asked, "What's going on?"
The golem turned towards me and said, "I sense danger coming... to... Minecrafters. About miles away, near deep and dark ravine." I gasped, realizing that it was talking about my friends. I remembered quickly that they were heading to the Bedrock Caverns to retrieve the Devious Dagger. Danger? What kind of danger? I knew I had to do something, but I was stuck with two options. Should I just keep on running away with this golem... or go back and save them? Either choice had its consequences. I had to choose one, but which one?
Jerome's POV-
After the next morning had arrived, Mitch and I lead everyone through the forest. I carried Sierra in my arms since she was still injured and could not yet walk by herself. But when she found out that Sky had gone missing, she was so worried about where he could have gone. What she didn't know was that Mitch and I knew that he had gone, but we promised not to tell anyone else... not even her, which broke my heart deeply. That hurt me even more than it did lying to the others. While we were walking through the woods, Sierra looked up to me and said, "I hope Adam is okay. I don't understand why he just suddenly disappeared, especially when we need him... when I need him."
I heard Mitch sigh heavily as he walked up by my side. "I'm sure he'll come back... hopefully," Mitch stated. Sierra leaned her head towards my chest and closed her eyes, letting out a weak sigh as a faint crystal-clear tear fell from one of her eyes. It broke my heart even more. I wanted to tell her so badly... but I had to keep my mouth shut. Only telling her would make her feel even more worse than she already is right now. All that Mitch and I could do now was lead everyone to the next weapon, but I couldn't help but have a feeling... a feeling that we were being followed.
Derp's POV-
I couldn't believe that Derpy's plan was working. If we ever told anyone else that Derpy's plan worked... no one would believe us. That was how rare it was to have one of Derpy's plans work. Soon after Derpious and I changed into humans, we quickly escaped from the Squid realm and began heading towards the forest after we almost drowned trying to get to the surface of the ocean. Derpious had greenish-blue eyes, black wavy hair with a blue streak in his bangs, a black shirt with a blue jacket over it, black pants and blue shoes with two rows of spikes beneath it. I had brown short hair, green eyes, a light-blue shirt, slightly torn dark-blue jeans, and dark-gray boots. Along the way, we slowly got used to our new forms, quickly learning how the humans walk, breathe, and move. All that we had to do now then was find out where Sky and his friends were, gain their trust, and then, steal the Butter God's amulet. As Derpious and I were trekking along the path, I quickly realized that Derpy wasn't around. I stopped and looked behind me as I saw him struggling to keep up. Derpious also stopped and looked back, having an annoyed look on his face from Derpy's lack of stamina. After taking one more step, Derpy fell over, panting hard from the travel we made from the desolate city to the very center of the forest.
"Are... are we there yet?" Derpy asked weakly.
"We still have a long way to go, Derpy. The only reason that it's taking so long is that you're with us," Derpious exclaimed, flipping his bangs out of his face.
Derpy glared at the former Squid and hissed, "Screw... you."
"Guys, stop it. Look, we barely just learned how to use these new bodies. When we find the Minecrafters, I want you both to act like humans would. And don't do anything that might reveal who we really are," I explained to my brothers.
"I bet $20 that Derpy will screw this up in 10 seconds or less when we meet the humans," Derpious stated, flipping his hair out of his face quickly.
Derpy got to his feet and stated, "You know, I'm not that useless for a comrade. I can be just as skilled as the next squid-turned-human."
"Skilled? The only thing that you're skilled for is being... well... yourself, basically," Derpious responded.
"Brothers, enough! Now, let's go," I said, not in the mood for the human-Squids to get into a fight right then. I lead the way as the other two followed, Derpious on my right while Derpy was on my left.
After long hours of non-stop walking, the sun slowly began to fall past the highest point in the sky. I was wondering if we were going in the right way, or if we were ever gonna find these Minecrafters or not. I looked through the brush and saw a group of Minecrafters traveling all in the same direction, only a few feet from where we stood.
"Brothers, get down!" I said to them in a hushed tone. We went down on our knees and slowly crept behind several bushes. We watched as the the group of humans and hybrids passed by us.
"That has to be Sky's friends," Derpious said. "Wait... where's the one with the amulet!?" I quickly noticed that none of them wore the amulet we were looking for. The Butter God was missing!
"Crap! What are we gonna do?" Derp whispered.
"Both of you, relax! I'm sure he's probably hunting or something and sent his friends on a quest of some sort. We'll just have to stay with them until he returns," I explained to both of them.
Derpious cocked his head slightly to the side and asked, "But how are we supposed to introduce ourselves to the humans without raising any suspicion?" I pondered about what we should do, and after a minute, I got a mental idea.
"This might be stupid, but it might work."
Moments later, after a bit of climbing and navigating, we reached the very top of a hill. We waited patiently as the Minecrafters then reached the bottom of the hill. Then, I turned to my brothers and said, "Now, jump!"
Derpious sighed before saying, "This is as stupid as Derpy is." Each of us jumped and rolled down the hill at a fast speed. After what seemed like a long descent, we rolled to a stop on the path. I groaned painfully as I looked up, seeing the group of Minecrafters staring at us in shock, just the reaction that I wanted.
'Now... we play along with them,' I mentally thought to myself.
I watched as a man in a red and black checkered hoodie ran up to me and knelt down. "Are you okay, sir?" He asked.
I groaned as I sat up, and then I responded with, "A little bruised-up, but overall okay. My friends and I barely just escaped with our lives and now, we're lost with nowhere to go. We have been seeking anyone who could help us. Surely, you Minecrafters could spare some help for me and my friends, would you?" The one in the red and black hoodie helped me to my feet, my comrades managing to help themselves up.
"Of course we'll help you. My name is Mitch, and you are?" The human asked me. I immediately panicked. I was so caught up in the planning, I forgot to think of fake names that we could use to fool the humans.
'Come on, Derp. Think of a name,' I thought to myself'.
"My name is... um... uh... D-Dave! Yeah, that's it! Dave," I stuttered out. My comrades walk up by my side.
"I'm... uh... Aqueous!" Derpious quickly spoke out.
'Clever name,' I thought. 'But what will Derpy say?'
"I'm Derpy," Our brother said. Derpious elbows him hard in the chest, making him grunt. He realized what he said and corrected himself by saying, "Oh! Uh, I mean... Murphy!" Several of the humans gazed awkwardly at Derpy. Derpious chuckled awkwardly as he stepped next to Derpy and tried to explain his behavior.
"Pay no mind to Murphy. He's just a little confused and traumatized after all the death and anarchy that he's had to witness. You know, scarred for life," Derpious said unsteadily.
One of the hybrids, one covered from head to toe in fur who wore a black suit and carried another Minecrafter in its arms, came forward and said, "Oh man, I'm sorry that happened to you."
Derpy looked confused for a second. Derpious and I flashed angered looks towards him, and it was only then he got the idea.
"Uh... it's horrible! I lay awake every night on the ground, hearing my family's yells of agony! Why couldn't I save them!?" Derpy cried out, imitating a distressed human very well. But when he collapsed to the ground fake crying, I thought he may be taking it a little too far. However, the Minecrafters looked sadly at Derpy. I smirked in my mind. Slowly, we were gaining their trust. All we had to do was keep up the act.
"Well, listen, we're on a journey right now to save our world from Herobrine. If you guys want, you can come with us," Mitch offered us.
I smiled as I said, "I would be more than grateful to accept your offer to travel with you, Mitchell. You have no idea."
"Well, welcome to the group. We better get going. We're nearly at our next destination," Mitch replied. The Minecrafters continued on the path, and soon I followed close behind them. Derpious gets Derpy to compose himself and they soon run up to me.
"Great acting, you two. Keep it up and in no time, we'll have the amulet," I whispered to them.
"We really fooled them," Derpious whispered back, an evil smile lighting his face.
"Hey, should I be an actor? They really thought that I was really sad," Derpy wondered, not paying attention to what we were talking about.
Derpious turned to him and said, "Well, keep dreaming, 'cause it ain't gonna happen." Derpy groaned sadly as he looked down to the ground. I rolled my eyes. They still acted like themselves, even in their human forms. But soon, we'll drop the acting as soon as we have the amulet. The humans are never going to see it coming... this was going to be perfect.
Mitch's POV-
I felt really bad about the new Minecrafters that we just met. I couldn't turn away from them, so I let them join us on our quest. After all, the more, the merrier. And yet, they were acting a little bit strange, but I suppose that it must be what they went through to get this far into the forest. After a short travel, we reached a dark and creepy-looking ravine. I lit up a torch and bravely went inside, finding the nearest stone and mining them to use them as a staircase to the bottom. One by one, everyone cautiously descends to the bottom of the ravine. Once we reached the bottom, we were surrounded by nothing but darkness. Jerome looked anxiously around, Sierra looking terrified in his arms. We didn't know where we were or what could be hiding in the shadows.
"Okay, everyone, stay calm. We just need to find the dagger and we'll be out in no time," I said, taking a few steps forward. Then, I cringed when I heard dozens of high-pitched squeaks. Flying overhead was a group of bats, zooming past us in a startling manner. I relaxed myself when they disappeared. I exhaled and began venturing through the deep ravine, trying to find a passageway that lead to the bedrock zone. While everyone tried to keep calm, Bashur ran up to the front of the group beside me.
"Um, is something gonna come and attack us?" He asked, looking around nervously.
Suddenly, he jolted up when we heard someone cry out, "Boo!" Bashur grasped himself to my arm, squeezing my arm quickly. I looked down and saw his dog walking up to him with a smirk on his face.
"Heh, heh. Got you," Pewface joked. Bashur glared at him, narrowing his eyebrows together in annoyance.
"Let go of me," I told the melon. He quickly released his grip on my arm, backing away from me soon afterwards. As time passed, we navigated over rises and falls within the many caverns we found. Many of them lead to dead ends, which resulted in us going back to the entrance of the cave to find another, which only lead to another dead end. Along the way, we bumped into Zombies, Skeletons, and Spiders, but I bravely killed them using my skills as a PVP warrior. None of these mobs were gonna hurt my friends, not while I was there.
After going through dozens of dead-end caverns, we found one last one near the end of the ravine. I looked and saw that the way lead into the very depths. This had to be it. We entered and made our way to the bottom.
After what seemed like a long descent to the bottom, I quickly saw bedrock beneath our feet. I glanced forward and saw an empty hall before us, torches lighting up the way faintly. At the end was a door, an inscription of unknown language being scribbled across the wooden surface. We padded through the hall and reached the door. I grabbed the doorknob and turned, which caused the door to open and make a very creepy creaking noise as it slowly opened up. Once it opened all the way, we slowly piled into the room and gazed around in curiosity. At the very center of the dungeon-like room that we were in, resting upon an iron and sliver pedestal... was the Devious Dagger. The hilt had a strange, bloody-red pattern over it, the pointed and edged blade flashing a faint light for a spilt second. Looking around, I then saw multiple bones lying across the ground, some of them small while some of them big and half-buried in the bedrock. The one bone that scared me the most was the large dinosaur-shaped skull that sat at the very end of the room. What the heck was protecting this weapon before it died?
"There's the dagger. I'll grab it and soon, we'll be out of here," I said. I quickly ran up to the dagger. Slowly, I inched a hand towards the red handle. When I grabbed it, the handle lit up red. I winced, feeling pain coursing through my arm. I yanked the dagger out of the pedestal, the pain ceasing off afterwards. Suddenly, the entire room started shaking uncontrollably. The door behind us closed, irons bars sealing the door shut from in front. I gasped when I saw this. Then, the pedestal that once held the weapon slowly started sinking into the bedrock. The small spaces within the bedrock started glowing red.
"What's going on!?" Sierra cried out, look around in fear from her spot in Jerome's arms. She was clasping onto Jerome's suit in fear, her knuckles white from grasping onto it so tightly.
"I don't know," I replied. All of a sudden, the bones around us started to levitate from the bedrock. Each piece flew towards each other and started shaping into something. All of my friends quickly backed up, taking their weapons out and stancing themselves quickly. The only one that wasn't stanced to fight was Bashur, Jerome and Murphy. Jerome backed up behind everyone else, trying to get as far away as he could from the thing that was forming before our eyes to protect the still-injured Sierra. When the head took off of the ground and is put on the very top of the skeletal-body, my jaw dropped in shock and fright. Standing before us was... a giant skeletal structure of a T. Rex. The bony creature pulled its head up and roared at us, shaking the entire room violently and showing off its rows of razor sharp teeth. I backed away to the Minecrafters, never thinking that we would bump into this.
Right then, I heard Murphy yell out, "I didn't sign up for this! We need to get out of here!" He ran towards the door and tried escaping by pulling at the iron bars, but they were sealed tight against the door, preventing escape. However, I wasn't gonna let this thing kill me or my friends. I aimed the dagger towards the undead creature and ran towards it. The T. Rex swung its head back, and struck me in the back with its tail. I cried out in pain as I was launched away from it. I skidded across the ground, letting go of the dagger. I was stunned from the hit, trying to get to my feet, but I fell to the ground afterwards. Most of my friends were shocked in place, unable to move like I was. Those that could move tried to attack the T. Rex, but it simply knocked them away from it. It's sights were locked on mine. I could only watch as the creature stomped towards me and opened its mouth, ready to kill me.
"Mitch, NO!" I heard Jerome yell faintly. I closed my eyes, curling into a ball as I waited for the undead dinosaur to sink its teeth into me.
'Sky, where are you?!' I thought in my mind, knowing that he would have saved us from this monster if he was still here.
All of a sudden, I heard a loud battle cry go out. Peeking from my little shelter, I then saw as a flash of blonde hair flew past me, jumping onto the dinosaur. I was confused. None of my lady friends had that long of blonde and that light of blonde hair except for...
Whipping upwards, I then stared at the dinosaur in shock as Sierra wrestled against the undead creature, her arms wrapped tightly against its jaw. The T. Rex shook its head, trying to shake off the young girl. But she kept on holding, and just watching her as she did that, I could visibly see that she had pain in her eyes. Her broken bones that were just healed were being ripped out of place again. Why would she put herself in that pain again?
Pushing myself up, I then grabbed onto the Devious Dagger, wielding it in a fighting stance. All of a sudden, something strange happened. As I held onto the dagger, the red on the hilt all of a sudden began to glow. Soon after, the red began to move. It literally began to move. It snaked off of the dagger and crept up my right arm, twisting in the same cool design that was on it before. But it didn't hurt as this happened. I just stared at it in shock as it linked with the other strand and then lit up even brighter than before. Only then did the pain return to me. Screaming in pain, I threw my head up in the air, shutting my eyes tightly. The pain soon subsided, and when I looked back, I froze in place. The dagger was infused into my arm, my veins pulsing the blood-red color that matched the dagger. Turning over my hand quickly, I examined the dagger. I felt a new power inside of me, like the dagger gave me a new fighting power that I did not have before. Smiling, I then turned my attention back to the T. Rex, and lunged at the creature. At that pont, Sierra had swung herself so that she was on top of the dinosaur, which seemed to only make the creature even more mad.
I took a swing at the leg of the creature, and watched in amazement as the blade went right clean through the bone. Jerome, who was still shocked about the sudden act that Sierra did, ran up to me, and kicked down the leg. The dinosaur gave out a painful scream, and then it toppled to the ground. Sierra twisted herself so that when the dinosaur fell, she landed right up on the ground. Jerome and I stared in shock at her. Wow, she was good.
All of a sudden, the dinosaur pushed itself back up, and it was right then that I noticed that its leg had reformed onto its leg. But, I saw that the line was still there from where I had sliced at the bones. That was a weak spot now. "Guys, attack at the bones!" I cried out, then running around the base of the creature to run to the other side of its leg. All of my friends immediately complied, and they began to use their weapons to chop at the bones. While everyone was attacking the dinosaur's lower bones, Sierra had climbed back onto its head, and she began to wrestle it once more. Jerome turned to me, and then he said, "Wow, she is crazy. No wonder she is Sky's sister."
"No, she's not crazy, she's amazing," I replied as Sierra then used her diamond sword to stab the creature in the top of the head. But, as I looked around, I saw that all of the damage that my friends were bringing to the dinosaur was doing nothing. It would reform right after the parts fell off, and the bones would completely seal back together. However, every place that I had attacked was staying fractured. I looked down to the weapon that was infused to my hand. It was the special blade that was causing damage. Right then, I got an idea. "Jerome, use the Rugged Rapier to attack the Rex!" I cried out, rolling to the side to avoid from beind stepped on.
Jerome looked confused, but he quickly pulled out the weapon and used it to stab the foot of the T. Rex. When the bone fell apart, it formed back together, but unlike the other times, the fracture stayed there. Smiling, I then yelled over to Jerome, "Biggums, throw that up to Sierra!"
"Are you crazy?! That's at least thirty feet up into the air! I don't think I can get it up there," He cried out, twisting in place to then slice at the leg of the creature.
"Just try!" I yelled, then jumping into the air to clasp onto the ribs of the Rex. Jerome sighed, and then he ran to the dungeon walls and began to run up them at a very fast speed. I didn't know that Jerome could do that, and I stared at him in shock as he then back-flipped off of the wall and threw the rapier to Sierra. I smiled to myself when she clasped onto the bejeweled handle, and then she began to slice at the creature. Just what we needed. Flipping down, I then ran past each of its legs, aiming right for the fractured spots that I had infliced earlier. Spinning in place, I would then slice the dagger through those spots, and the dinosaur would scream in pain. But this time, the bones did not levitate up again to reform. The bones quickly fell to the ground, and disappeared in a poof of dust.
I was just about to call up to Sierra to stab it in the head, when all of a sudden I heard screaming from my friends. Turning my head quickly, I then froze in shock when I saw a giant golem break through the bedrock walls (which I knew was impossible to do), and it came hurtling towards the creature. Like a football player to another player, the golem smashed into the dino, sending the creature toppling to the side. Sierra screamed as she flew through the air, losing her balance and falling from the top of the dino. Jerome and I both ran forward to catch her, but something that was hanging onto the golem's back jumped off and caught her. I could not see who it was because of the darkness, but I turned my attention away from the mysterious person that had saved Sierra and watched the golem and dino battle play out. The dino carefully got to its feet, and would snap quickly at the golem. But the golem gripped onto the dino's head with its long arms and it twisted over the head, making the bone dislocate. With one last cry of pain, the T. Rex fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake violently. Soon after that, the bones disappeared in a poof of dust, and everything fell silent.
Pushing my hair out of my face, I then felt as the dagger released its grip on my hand, and I could actually remove it from my hand. I quickly sheathed it, and then I then turned in place, rushing over to where Sierra had fallen. I had to find out who that person was that had saved her... and how was basically our savior from this dinosaur.
A moment later, I came screeching to a halt. I saw the figure kneeling on the ground next to where he had put Sierra down on the ground, but I could not make out who it was. "Sir, I cannot thank you for saving her..." I trailed off, then freezing afterwards when the person stood up and turned to me, a cocky smile on his face. A smile lit across my face as well, and then I gave him a quick man-hug. "I didn't think that you would be coming back this fast, Sky," I then said, laughing a little bit after that.
Sky shrugged, and then he said, "Well, I almost got demolished by a pack of Ender Wolves, and then Butter Golem here saved my life. He told me that you guys were in trouble... and I knew that I could not possibly leave you guys to suffer in danger and pain without me being here to dull the blow." I just laughed, and I shook my head. Then, I turned my attention on Sierra, who was laying on the ground in pain.
"How is she doing?" I then asked, kneeling down beside her. Sierra was laying on the ground, groaning in pain.
My friend sighed, and then he said, "Well, the potions definitely worked on healing her broken bones, but because of what she just barely did with riding on that dino, I don't even know how she managed to do that, she re-broke half of her bones. How did that happen anyways?"
Breathing in, I then said, "Well, I was going to attack the beast, when it hit me with its tail and flung me across the room. I thought I was dead for. All of a sudden, I heard a warrior cry go out, and when I looked up, I saw that Sierra had pushed herself out of Jerome's arms and had jumped up to the T. Rex's mouth and was holding on for dear life. She saved my life..." I stopped talking, fully realizing what she did for me. She really did save my life... by putting herself in that pain again, she saved my life. It was mind boggling that she would save me...
Sierra groaned slightly, and then she looked up to me, a small smile lighting her face. "I... I had to save you, Bajan. You... you were needed to lead us while Sky was gone. You... you are important to so many people here..." She then looked over to Sky, and her smile dropped slightly. A moment later, she started crying, and she smiled slightly as she pushed herself up and hugged her brother. "Oh, my Notch, Sky, where did you go? I was so worried about you, I... I didn't know what had happened to you," Sierra sobbed, closing her eyes tightly as she then wrapped her brother up in a hug.
"Well, I am back now. I just... I just had to go somewhere alone to clear my head. I realized that you guys really needed me after Butter Golem saved my life from a pack of Ender Wolves and explained to me that you guys were in trouble. I couldn't just leave you guys to come into this kind of trouble without me," He said, which then made Sierra chuckle slightly. She then winced in pain as she rocked one of her cracked bones. Kneeling down, I then scooped her up into my arms, cradling her lightly in my arms.
"Now, this time, let's not try and re-break your bones, Sierra," I then said, chuckling soon afterwards. Sierra laughed a hearty laugh as well, and then she rested her head against my chest. Sky and I turned to the others, and smiled towards all of them.
"Sky! You're back!" They all cried out, rushing up towards him. Sky just smiled, looking at each and every one of his friends. When his eyes laid on Dawn, however, he froze. A moment later, the couple rushed towards each other, grasping each other in a loving embrace. Their lips were locked in a kiss of love, and I could just see that they loved each other with all of their heart. I wished for that someday... someone that I loved with all of my heart that I would die for them. That was true love.
"I'm sorry guys... for leaving and everything. I thought that I could have gone off for a while and leave you guys to fend for yourselves, but I realized that you guys depended on me. I could not leave you guys to survive and die alone. Friends together, die together," Sky then said, grasping onto Dawn's hand tightly. We all nodded, remembering that small phrase. He had said that the first time that we went into the Hunger Games together, and ever since then we have kept it as a part of our lives. At this point, that was the reality. Friends together die together... literally. That's how close we all were. I knew that Sky would not leave us to die ourselves, he would fight for our freedom. That's who Sky was. He is a hero... he is a true friend.
Sky looked around our group, glancing quickly at Sierra before he moved his gaze away. "I promise that I will not leave you guys alone ever again... we will go through this journey together to the end. We already have the Rugged Rapier and the Devious Dagger, now we have the rest to get to. Ant, what is the next closest destination?" Sky said, turning towards AntVenom then.
"The next closest destination is the Wheezy Swamp, so we can get the Poisonous sword. That will be about a day and a half's journey from here, so we should head out now," Ant then said. Everyone complied, and without another word, everyone began to head up to the surface. Sky pulled back a little bit, and approached the golem that he had arrived on. Jerome and I walked over to them, and I smiled at the giant golem. Just like Sky had said, it definitely was a different golem. Its skin shone a buttery color, and vines spread all across its shoulder. Small flowers bloomed across the vines, giving off its own source of light.
"Hey... Butter Golem, thanks for saving our hides. We wouldn't have been able to stop that dino if it hadn't been for you and Sky showing up right then," I said, adjusting Sierra in my arms quickly.
Butter Golem nodded. "No problem," It said uneasily. Then, without another word, it turned and marched off. The rest of us followed the others, making our way carefully up to the surface. But I had an uneasy feeling as we walked up to the surface. I had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen... and I didn't know when or where it was going to happen... or who it was going to happen to.
