Description
Cress dropped her pickaxe in her chest. “Well. Wadda we do for armor now?”. She plopped down on her bed. Jace took a seat on his with a thoughtful expression. He shrugged “I am not sure….”. An awkward silence enveloped the room for a few minutes. Cress broke it, saying “Well we can’t just sit here. We never finished mining out one of our abandoned tunnels. we could try that?”.
Jace thought for a moment “I guess so. We can start tomorrow. I need to go to the village for paper so I can keep track of our progress, come on. “ He grabbed a few carrots from his chest and two fishing poles. He handed a fishing pole with a carrot on the end to Cress. Cress took it in her hand “Wat?”.
Jace facepalmed “Seriously? Please tell me you’ve ridden a pig before?”. Cress shook her head. Jace sighed “Well once we get horses it will be easier. Come on” Jace headed out the door and lured over a pig. He slapped a saddle on it that he had found in a dungeon while coming back out of their mine earlier. He jumped on it and rid it over to another group of pigs like a pro. He gestured to the pigs and said to Cress “Have your pick.”
Cress snuck up on a pig and grabbed it’s hind legs. It squealed and started running in circles, with Cress still hold onto it’s back legs. She screamed “AAGGGHH JACE HALP MEH!!”
Jace sighed and waited as Cress strangled the saddle onto it. Immediately when she got on it and took out the carrot rod, the pig’s eyes went huge like it was high and chased wherever Cress pointed the fishing rod.
Jace nodded “Good now let’s go-” he paused and started as Cress’s pig went haywire. Cress tugged the rod upwards to lead back to Jace “Mai pig is defective…” She gestured to the pig’s screwed up face and huge eyes. The pig sneezed and squealed. Jace stared at it “Uh yeah… Let’s just go…” Cress urged her retarded pig forward.
After running into countless tree’s and holes Cress and Jace finally reached the village. It was in desert so they lead their pigs into some villagers house and kept them in their backyard. Jace went over to the library with Cress. Jace looked at the building. The door was hanging off it’s hinges. He looked to Cress who replied “Long story short… Endermen”. Jace shrugged and walked in. He went up a villager inside “Hello, I am Jace. I’ve got some emeralds to trade.
A villager in brown stepped forward. “Librarians not here. Lemme see what you’ve got.”. Jace nodded and handed over eight emeralds. “I need six pieces of paper”. The villager glared at him “This’ll only cover about two pieces of paper…”. Jace and the villager clashed foreheads. Jace growled “Six.Pieces”
“Two”
“Six”
“Two. Leave it or keep it.” the villager growled. Jace pounded his fist into his palm “No. I challenge you. If I win, I get my paper. You win, you get my emeralds.”
The villager squinted “Fine.” There was long silence of staring. A few villagers gathered near the windows, watching. Cress asked “What’s the challenge”. The villager shooed the crowd away. They all fled, some falling on their face. The villager said “I propose a thrid generation My Little Pony marathon. Sit through all the movies and episodes with no breaks.” Jace shivered “Challenge accepted”.
~~ A day and eight hours later, around eleven A.M.
Jace moaned as the last movie ended. He looked to his right and jumped. The villager’s eye sockets were empty and black. Blood and brains oozed from the sockets and smoke drifted from them. The villager turned to Jace and slid six pieces of paper. Jace scooped them up and started at the villager a little longer. The villager opened it’s mouth and gasped/hissed “Avenge me…” it’s body convulsed, flailed, and blood drip from it’s ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. After a few moments it let out some grunting noises and fell limp.
Cress walked in and pick pocketed the dead villager and took the emeralds Jace had given him. Jace looked at her “What are you doing?”. Cress shoved the emeralds in her bag “Well he won’t need them. He’s dead.”. Jace couldn’t argue with that. The villager’s body gave out one more convulsion, making the two jump, then it imploded with a screeching noise in back hole which closed up. Jace looked to Cress “Let’s go…” Cress followed him out.
They rounded up their pigs and started for home. The sun was right above them in the desert. It was hot, the pigs were acting retarted, glitching, and squealing and Cress was screaming as her pig went haywire. Jace snapped back at Cress and her wailing pig as well as some pigs which were following as well “I WILL TURN THIS SOUNDER AROUND IF YOU DON’T.SHUT.UP!”
All the pigs, including Cress’s, lined up perfectly like show pigs, snorting here and there. Cress’s pig still looked high but it acted normal enough.
After some more traveling they reached their house and let the pigs go. Jace wiped sweat off his forehead “That was an interesting day…” He walked in as it was getting dark and mobs started appearing. He got to work crafting the books. Once he was finished he wrote an entry on how they had obtained the paper. Once he was done he got into bed “G’night…”
Cress nodded and cuddled her pillow. She chuckled a bit recalling the day’s experiences. She was about to fall asleep when she looked at the window. The high retarded pig from earlier started at her. Staring. Staring into her soul… Cress leaned her head back, her mouth agape and eyes wide then suddenly passed out.
~~~
Cress woke up to the sun shining in her face and the birds singing in the windows, dancing and pecking at it. The mobs were all gone outside and the sky was blue and cloudless. It was horrible. Cress threw her pillow at the window, making the birds spazz crap out of fear then fly off. She crawled back under her covers murmuring something about too much light and noise. Jace rolled over then got up, literally dragging Cress out of bed “Get.Up. I have the stuff to make the nether portal so let’s get to work.
Cress groaned as she hit the floor “Fiiiiieeeennnaahh”, she stood and ate an apple. she grabbed the obsidian and Jace grabbed the flint and steel, they went down to a room they had sealed off to make the portal in. After getting the frame right, Jace walked up and lit it on fire. Instantly, a purple vortex with purple particles, and an eery swishing sound appeared.
Jace stepped back “Alright. Now let’s go start on the armor and preparations-”. Cress jumped in the portal yelling “YOLO!”. Jace started and raced after her “FREAKING WAIT!”
