Javier fell to the ground, blood was all over his armor. Steve was terrified he couldn't move. "Finally after all this time, today is your final day brother, say hello to mother and father for me." Darius was about to pierce Javier when He got an arrow to his arm. He fell down and dropped his sword. It was Alex. Jesse and Varyana came rushing past Alex. Alex looked at Steve crouching behind the building. "What're you doing?" Alex said annoyed. Steve was speechless. Wiz tried to fire more icicles at a fallen Javier but Varyana came rushing at him and kicked his head against a tree. He fell to the ground. "Javier! Hang in there ok, we'll take you back to the doc, come on." Jesse put Javier's arm around his shoulder and slowly got up. At this point the battle had been going on for 10 minutes and was practically at its climax. Out of the fifteen guards that were taken to the battle only 4 had survived. The bandits' numbers were far greater, nearly doubled but their skills were lacking. As Jesse called over his horse he saw Steve sitting there on the floor shaking. Anger immediately came over Jesse. He wanted to say a lot of things to Steve but now was not the time he had to save Javier." We're leaving!" Varyana screamed to the remaining guardsmen. A bandit came and picked up Darius. It looked like both sides agreed this skirmish was over and too many casualties had been taken over a small village. Steve got on his horse but no one talked to him. As both sides left the village night started to fall. The ride back was dreadful, mobs started spawning and the morale was low. "Take out your torches!" Varyana said. Steve was at the very back of the formation with Varyana, Jesse, and Javier at the front. JAver had fainted due to the blood loss although Jesse was able to use bandages to wrap up Javier's stub. Skeletons were shooting at the group, but luckily everyone was able to dodge the arrows. As they were heading back a pack of creepers appeared in the road. "Everyone split, we'll meet back on the main road. Everyone splitted up from the main road into the forest. As Steve was riding through the forest his mind was only on how he froze at the battle. He blamed himself for Javier's current condition. So it was no shock when he got close line by a forest dweller. Steve flipped off his horse and fell on the ground. The horse kept running. Steve got up and grabbed his sword. He had no problem killing monsters. Forest dwellers were as tall as enderman, they had branches and grass growing all over them, and their eyes were a glowing yellow. They are usually peaceful creatures but they don't like people being deep in their forest. Steve held his position not moving. The forest dweller slowly charged at Steve and tried to grab him, Steve chopped off it's hand but one thing about forest dwellers is if they were in a forest limbs could grow back. The dweller's hand slowly started growing. Steve decided to run since he couldn't beat a dweller in its own habitat. As Steve ran he was shot at by a skeleton, the arrow hit his knee, he fell to the ground. Zombies started surrounding him, Steve thought it was over, before Steve was eaten the zombies were all taken out by someone. Steve took a sigh of relief as he passed out.
