p style="text-align: left;"No POVbr /-br /Seto was making a fire resistance potion when he noticed a peice of paper had suddenly appeared on his desk when he wasn't looking. He was confused, sometimes the mail carrier could sneak a letter inside quickly as a prank, but that was only if he was so focused on his work, he didn't pay attention to his surrroundings. Seto thought that was the case, since fire resistance potions could blow up if you weren't paying attention. He picked up the letter, which looked to be hastily written. It was in Skys sloppy handwriting, and it took him a minute to figure out what it said./p
p style="text-align: center;"br / emHey Seto!/embr /emIt's Sky, the group and I have found something AMAZING, /embr /emand you need to come and see. Right now, we are a bit /embr /emtoo far to meet, but we should be within the birch forest to the west/embr /emby sundown. /embr /emFrom your friend/embr /emSky/em/p
p style="text-align: left;"br / Seto sighed, it was usual for Sky to not tell him what he finds. It surprised him a little as to how Sky left to the east of the city and aproached to the west only a week later. He wondered how Sky would find the treasure within a week, but he had only estimated the time it would take, so he could have the treasure by now. Seto grabbed his bag, and started to head towards the forest, after he finished the potion. He lived quite a bit away from the west forest, so he would get there by the time Sky would arrive, although Sky had always seemed to be late, except for meetings on squid attack /-Timeskip to sundown-br / Seto stood at the edge of the forest. For some reason the area smelled of pepper. He could sense magic within the fog that hung low to the ground and in the dark clouds overhead, and he almost felt like someone from a horror movie. He sighed, stepping into the forest, and hoping that Sky was on time. He moved cautiously, keeping an eye on where he was stepping so he wouldn't trip, and heard a whoosh overhead. He quickly looked up, seeing some sort of dragon-like creature flying quickly towards him. He gasped, ducking just in time to not get hit. The creature was covered in black shadow, all he could distinguish from it was two glowing red eyes. He turned to where the creature would be, seeing nothing but more fog. He looked all around him, for any sign that there was something there, but he found none. Seto did the best he could to convince himself that he was seeing things, maybe he got something in his eyes making potions / He walked calmly for a few minutes, but stopped walking when a bush rustled. He didn't bring a weapon, and was now wondering if the note was forged. His magic was defensive, and he couldn't make any attack spells, so he braced for any sort of attack. A gleam of a knife shone to the left, and he barely dodged it, hearing a thud on the tree behind him. He turned to the knife, but nothing was there, not even a scratch on the tree bark. He glanced back to the dark forest, where the knife came from, only to nearly scream. There were many glowing eyes staring at him, one pair completely blue, one was sparking, and the other looked emotionless. The glowing eyes of the third one was soon accompanied by a crazed smile, and Seto started to run. Although, unlike what would be the correct choice of running into the city, he ran furthur into the woods. He tripped after a few meters, and quickly got up, looking in every direction frantically. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he couldn't look away from where he saw the glowing eyes for long. He felt some sort of magic behind him, but he couldn't really tell if it was just the fog, or if it really was something. He didn't move, but then he felt something cover his mouth. It was a hand, covered in blood. He yelped, quickly getting out of the grasp of whoever had tried to grab him. Seto stared at what was in front of him with / Herobrine snickered at Seto, a dark smile on his face. He was covered in blood, and the iron sword he held also had the crimson substance. Seto was holding his breath, afraid of the nightmare creature before him. All color seemed to fade from him. Suddenly, Herobrine lunged, and Seto tried to sheild himself, closing his eyes. He waited for an impact, the feeling of being respawned, but he heard some chuckling. He didn't know if it was mocking laughter, so he stayed in place, until he felt a hand on his /Herobrines POV:br / I quess the fake blood was too much, Seto was staring at me like a deer caught in a light. His pupils were dialated badly, and he seemed a ghostly white. Instead of taunting him, like in the plan of the prank, I went straight for a fake lunge. He closed his eyes, crossing his arms in front of him as to try and stop an attack from my sword. Of course, I didn't hit him. The fog and clouds dissapeared, and I could see the relief on Skys face that I didn't torment him too much. As he seemed frozen, I used my magic to get rid of my sword and fake blood, replacing it with my human eyes and jacket. Soon, all of us began to chuckle a little, Setos face was halarious, and Deadlox landed from where he was hidden in the clouds, the black cloak that Jin had made to look like shadows was tossed aside, probably because he could barely fly in it. Max was leaning on Ross in order to keep steady, using his magic for that big of an fog illusion must have tooken a lot out of him. Huskys eyes were normal again, and I could see Barney emerging into the small clearing with the knife he caught before it hit the tree. Ssundee had his sunglasses on again, a large smile of victory on his face. He had used a light spell to make their eyes seem as though they were glowing, although not as much as Herobrines, and he even made it seem as though Husky had fangs. Jason was trying to hide his laughter, he never expected Seto to nearly scream at seeing his eyes. I looked at the shaking Seto, and Sky walked up to him cautiously. He put a hand on Setos shoulder, and was immediatly flipped into the ground with a / "S-Sky?!" Seto yelled, his voice full of confusion and a little concern. I walked towards him, allowing my eyes to glow white for a second, so he knew who I was. br / "Did you really think I was going to kill you?" I asked, and he took multiple steps back. He looked as though he was trying to form words, but all that came out of his mouth was a strangled gasp. Jason walked up beside me, an amused smile on his face, and his odd hair moving as though it had a / "Seto, Hero won't hurt you." He looked between the two of us, to Sky who was dusting the dirt off of his shirt, and back to us, before promply /Skys POV:br / I chuckled, Seto had fainted from shock. Maybe we went a little too far, might not be long before he tries to kill me. I could tell that Seto had dislocated my arm with that flip. I cracked my shoulder, popping it back into place as I walked over to my unconcious friend. I kneeled down beside him, shaking him on his shoulder a / "Seto, did the prank go to far?" I ask. I was truely worried that he had a literal heart attack, but thankfully, he came back to the world of the / "Too far?" He asked slowly, his eyes a little unfocused. Suddenly he stood up quickly, and started to scold me. "How in the world do you not think that was too far? I thought that I was ambushed and that you guys had died. And how the fudge is Herobrine not trying to kill us? Most of all, how did you fudging pull off GLOWING EYES, DISSAPEARING DAGGERS, A REALISTIC CRAZED SMILE, AND A DRAGON CREATURE!?" Yep, he yelled right in my ear, and I can hear a slight ringing now. I rubbed my poor ear as I chuckled some, glad that I'm not being strangled by him. Max spoke up, slight fake offense in his / "Nothing about my cool fog and clouds, that took a lot out of me you know. I'm not good at illusions." Seto sighed, mumbling something about noticing magic in the / "Well, the Mad Max has magic." He chuckled to himself and Ross had to hold back Max so he didn't try to kill / "Call me that again Seto, I dare you, my magic is made specifically for fighting!" br / "Yeah, well mine is defensive, so good luck hitting me." Seto deadpanned to Mad Max. He then turned to me, frowning. "Explain why we aren't being torn to shreds by Herobring right now." He demanded, his voice reminding me of a scolding father. Herobrine put his hand on Setos shoulder, making him jump from both surprise and / "The short or long version?" Deadlox and I both asked at the same time, smiles on our faces. Seto stared cautiously at Herobrine for a few / "I'll go with the short version...p-please don't kill me." He silently said the last part, and Herobrine started to laugh / "I won't harm a hair on your head as long as I am in control." I could see the confusion on Setos face, and I chose that time to tell him a kind of long/kind of short version of what had occured within the week. His face went from confusion, to surprise, to blank. I concluded the story to when we were planning the prank, and he was staring into nothing. I waved my hand in front of his face, wondering if I had broken the poor / "I...never expected that..." He mumbled, looking around the group. "I'm surprised none of you had died." I facepalmed. Of course, I forgot something while telling him what / "Actually, I did die. I don't know how because we were in a no respawn zone. Deadlox and Ssundee have both been close to death, though." Jerome / "Sky, you passed right by the part where I love Jerome." Mitch whined, hugging Jerome, making us laugh. Seto did something close to a squeal as he hugged them both to congratulate them. After awhile, I noticed Herobrine was away from the group a little, staring at a small stream. While the others talked, I walked towards him to see what was / "Hey Sky." He greeted, his hood was over his face so I couldn't see his / "Is something wrong?" I ask, worried that he had another mental breakdown. He shrugged, grabbing a stone from the shore of the small / "I don't know." He answered simply. "I am just confused yet again." I sat down beside him, Deadlox sitting on my lap with a snicker, basically using me as a chair. I tried to move him, but he just laughed and flipped me off, causing me to chuckle / "Why are you confused, you can tell another not-really-human being." He said. I fake / "So, I'm not part of this chat?" He patted me on the head, confirming that yes, I was just a chair. br / "It's just...well..." he seemed to think out his words before he said them "I feel restless.
The kind of feeling you get before something bad happens, but you can't really tell what it will be, so your paranoid." Deadlox nodded, his eyes shimmering red a / "Maybe you have some of what Ssundee has, and can tell the future sometimes." Herobrine shook his head, frowning. br / "Neither big brother nor I have ever heard of something like that happening to a human. Even if he isn't full human. I don't think genetics gave him that ability. It drains him of his magic whenever it happens, so it mustn't have come to him naturaly." br / "So, could something have happened to him?" I asked, only to get jabbed in the ribs by Deadloxs / "Your a chair at the moment Sky." he stated, and I / "Well, I might just be a bit paranoid...did the map really show the next peice in that city? Also, I really don't think Sky is a chair." I took out the map, inspecting / "Yep, it shows that it is in the city. I don't think it will be in any museum or regular house, since no one had suddenly died from a trial or something." Seto came over, a small smirk on his / "Well, no one is allowed into the catacombs. They say that if people go far enough in, they meet a terrible fate and die. If we can get passed the guards, we can see if the next trial thing is there." He / "Well, lets take a look in the morning," Jerome yawned from where he was in the clearing, Ssundee was already asleep by a tree. Mitch was also asleep, using Jerome as a pillow. Everyone else were also tired. "Its nearly midnight." We decided to settle down and head out to the catacombs in the morning./p
