The Daughter of Herobrine |REMAKE|

Chapter 9: Focus

The small dragon landed with an "oof" on the ground. She slowly stood up, strangely feeling sore after the impact with the grass below her paws.

She shook her head and stretched like a cat, back arching as her wings extended upwards. She began to look at her surroundings before realizing where she was a moment later.

"Oh," Allison said. "I'm home."

She turned to look behind her, and glanced at the giant oak tree. Something dark and rectangular caught her eye.

She walked up to it, realizing it was her potions case she had left behind when she was-

She blinked rapidly a few times. "I was- captured by Herobrine...

"Ohhh my Notch... and I escaped? Oh my Notch..." she began to pace around the oak tree.

She shook her head. "I at least need to get inside. Then figure out what to do."

She bit at the handle of the potion case until it fit onto her lower jaw.

She awkwardly walked back towards her house, having to take weird steps with a giant box in front of her. When she made it to the front porch she carefully dropped it on the wooden floor next to the door. She reached up for the knob and opened the door, and nudged the case inside with her snout as she walked in.

The moment she walked in the lights turned on, which was something they normally did. She picked up the case with her lower jaw, much quicker than last time. She wasted no time in going downstairs to the basement, where her bedroom was. It used to be on the second floor, but when Kat moved in a couple of years ago, she updated her basement to sleep down there as well as a few other things.

The update included a lab, which had an unfortunate reasoning behind it.

Allison has accidentally scratched Kat with her tail diamond. She had no antidote whatsoever, but luckily ambrosia did the trick. However, ambrosia was expensive, so they decided to try and make an antidote for the venom if any tail-related accident happened again instead of drinking straight ambrosia every time.

Their latest potion seemed to work, until they realized it wasn't potent enough; it was slowing the venom down, but not stopping or curing it.

She opened the door to the lab and walked inside, glancing at the weak antidote sitting on the brewing stand. She hopped onto a stool without toppling over, and gently lowered the case onto the countertop.

She opened the case to check its contents. The potions were okay, they didn't look like they were damaged at all. Which is surprising. This must be a good quality case. She removed the seeds she bought and put them to the side.

Allison suddenly remembered the buckets she had left the old man at the market, and sighed.

"I never seem to stop needing to go back to places, do I?" She said to herself, and continued her thoughts in her head. I ran from Herobrine's fortress, had to go back to find a nether portal. Went to the market earlier, have to go back for those buckets. And-

"Oh no..." she let out a groan. "I have to go back to the nether for quartz."

She thought for a moment before realizing. "Wait... where's Kat?"

She rushed upstairs as fast as her tiny dragon legs could carry her. She turned to look in the kitchen, because she couldn't see over the L-shaped island that turned where the stairs were. Kat wasn't there.

She went upstairs that led to her friend's bedroom. No sign of her. She opened the door to the bathroom. Nope. She opened her small walk-in closet. Nothing. She walked out to the second-floor patio, above the porch. Nada.
