Team Crafted stared at Seto, quiet had settled over the room, as everyone waited with complete seriousness for the sorcerer to start talking again. Seto took a deep breath before continuing. He seemed a bit nervous.
"King Notch needs you guys to retrieve a precious treasure, but this treasure is located far away, possibly farther than the respawn range, meaning that if you die.." Seto trailed off, looking towards the group. Husky and Ssundee had a look of curiosity, Mitch and Deadlox didn't have an expression, it was impossible to see Jasons face through his helmet, and Jerome looked a little panicked.
"We might die for good if we go on this mission," Sky finished for Seto. His arms were crossed as though he was in thought. There was an area around almost all of Minecraftia that let the people respawn if they die, and it's not their time. Although there were a few parts, where people barely go, that didn't have that ability yet.
"Yes, but the treasure is said to be stronger than what the squids can throw at us, almost as strong as an Ancient. If you can find it, then the war will be basically won. Also, you will need to leave soon, if you don't want the squids to get it first. They are also going to try and find it. Our spies concluded that they were going to head out in two days. But you will have an advantage," Seto summoned a small scroll. It was yellow and worn, tied with a black leather latch. The sorcerer opened it and showed the group.
"This is a map to what could be the treasure. King Notch found it underneath an old village, beside a large dead Light Ancient. It looks as though it was made in a rush, meaning that the Ancient was close to death when it made the scroll. The squids don't know about this, though. It looks to be a few weeks or so to get there." Seto rolled up the scroll and handed to Skys open hand.
"Right, thank you Seto." Sky stood and turned towards his team. They had their full attention towards their commander, who put the scroll in his pocket. His amulet shone a little. "Okay Team Crafted, grab the things you will need for this journey. We leave as soon as we are ready, so there won't be any more time to sleep. We may have an advantage, but we are slower since we will have to cross over the land, instead of traveling by water like those disqusting squids. Grab only what is needed, and plenty of healing items. Lets go." He thanked Seto for relaying the message and ran to his room to get his supplies.
Husky nearly knocked his door down as he went to get his things. His room was relatively clean, so it wasn't hard to find his backpack. He grabbed his journal, stuffing it in between a few sketch books. He grabbed his fire enchanted bow and put them inside as well. His iron sword was almost broken, so he repaired it, putting a few iron ingots into his pack, just in case. He clipped his sword to his belt, and put his iron helmet on his head. He also added some tnt. Mitch and Jerome ran into their dirty room. Mitch grabbed his Power bow, and searched for a few minutes through their junk for his pack. He added some arrows and threw in a few pickaxes just in case they had to mine to get to the treasure. Putting on his armor, he waited for Jerome. The bacca grabbed his diamond axe and strapped it to his back. He was a little worried, he was always the first one to die on missions, so he grabbed his enchanted armor so he would be more protected. They too headed down the stairs. Jason didn't need much preperation. His space suit was armor itself. He grabbed his iron sword, strapping it to his belt. He also grabbed some carrots that would last a few weeks, and gave it to Jeffery, his pig. He gave the pig a hug before going downstairs. Deadlox calmly grabbed his diamond boots and put them on. He put his TNT and diamond sword into his pack before going down the stairs. Sky grabbed the book he was reading earlier, his butter helmet, and his butter sword. And soon they were ready to head out.
The rain hadn't let up, the wind roaring outside the turned back to Seto. "You can stay here tonight, I dont think you will like walking home in this, with no umbrella."
Seto sighed, "Your right, but why are you guys going out there at this time of night?"
Sky chuckled, "We dont know if there are any squid spies around, but if we leave now we have a lesser chance of being followed, besides its the perfect weather to be stealthy." he explained.
"Best to leave as soon as possible, since we have no idea what the treasure is. For all we know, it could be hard to find." Deadlox said, agreeing with Sky. After bidding Seto farewell, they headed off, to start the adventure.
Sorry it took a while, but I think I'll be able to update two days in a row, maybe three. Enjoy the chapter. P.S. Its going to focus mainly around Sky's POV (point of view) for a while, because I can add a lot more detail and hints to later chapters. EDIT: FUUDGE! I am so sorry! My laptop just DESTROYED THE FOUR LONG CHAPTERS I WAS READY TO UPLOAD. Now I'm going to have to rewrite all of it. I am sorry for the inconvenience, it shouldn't be too hard to rewrite it, but I was hoping to upload more chapters today :'( dang it...
