"What did you just call me?!" I asked Sabre. I felt my face heat up slightly and looked at him. I didn't get a response. He must have fallen asleep. A sense of relief washed over me knowing he was getting the rest he needed after taking us through that dark cave.

Did he just call me Sunflower? That's sweet... but why would he? Maybe it's because he is tired. Yeah, that's it... What else could it be? It's not like we are together or anything. Sabre was asleep. His once-clean clothes are now dirty from the mud and soil. Probably from the cave we just came back from. I looked at myself to see I wasn't as clean myself. I didn't have as much dirt in my clothes as Sabre did, but it was still noticeable. Maybe if we find a river we can clean ourselves off a bit.

The sun felt warm against my skin. It felt good after all the rain we had to deal with from last night. I hope the guards don't know where we are going. If they know where we are going they will take the staff from us before we get to the volcano. For now, I guess it will be okay. We did go through the caves and if they didn't see us go through the caves- well fall into the caves we should be alright.

Sabre groaned suddenly and I checked on him. He was glitching again. His body seems to twitch and become stiff at the same time. He jerks but doesn't move.

This is the first time this has happened when he was asleep. Not even after he got poisoned by Victor.

I know I can't help him when this happens. I tried to, but I only made it worse. He won't tell me why this happens to him. Sometimes I wished he would. Thankfully it was over in a few seconds and he didn't seem to wake up. That's for the better. I looked up at the sky to see the sun was only now above the hills. This will be a long couple of hours.

I grab one of the blankets from our makeshift beds we carry with us and put it over Sabre. He is probably colder than I am. He was the one carrying me through the cave and his clothes were still damp with water. Mine weren't because of how light the fabric is. Once I do I look back up in the sky and get lost in my thoughts.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused. What do I need to do for this witch in order to find my friends?

"I need something from you to take you to your friend." She says as she goes to grab something. What is she going to grab? Sven her dog barks at me and I just look at him.

I move away from the screen to look at the time. Closer to noon now, but not too close. Have I already been playing for that long? Probably...

"I need white horse hair. For the potion and for myself." She says and hands me some shears. Horsehair? Is that a mod Elan added?

"Why?" I asked confused, but take the shears.

"White horse hair is very rare. Especially in this area. I need you to find it and get me as much as you can."

"Why is it rare?" I asked again, horses are rare in forests, but there are a lot of white horses in Minecraft you can find. Especially in the plains.

"Because the only pure white ones have horns on their head," Elan added a unicorn mod into the server, didn't he? What else did he add? A Dragon mod.

"A few dragon scales would be better, but white horse hair will have to do."  Seriously Elan!? Also, can this witch read my mind- no of course not? This is just a game after all.

"Okay. I'll start looking then." Guess I don't have much of a choice.

"Good luck and come back soon." The Witch tells me and I walk off. I guess the best place to start is a meadow. Let's hope there is one nearby. I need to find Elan. This is probably the only way I will be able to figure out where he is.

I clicked the tab again and Elan was still online. That's good. Why is he playing Minecraft though? If he was taken like the cops believe then why would the kidnappers give him access to Minecraft? That doesn't matter right now. What matters is getting to Elan and asking him what's going on.

I keep walking through the block-like forest. Well pressing some arrows on my keyboard. Imagine how terrible it would be if I was in the game. Thankfully that can never happen.

After a few minutes, the Minecraft trees become thinner and I find a meadow. Perfect. Now all I need to do is find a unicorn. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? I walk around the meadows looking for horses of any kind. So far all I see is grass, hills, and a small river. Nothing too special or any animals. Soon I see a herd of horses. All of them are brown except a grey horse. Great. No white horses or horses with a horn on its head.

I go up to the horses to double-check for white horses. Still just the brown and grey horse. I sighed.

"Why did it have to be a unicorn? Why are there so many mods? And why does this stupid witch want horse hair?!" I yell in frustration. I shake my head. I need to keep looking.

After about an hour of looking around the entire meadow, I still don't find any unicorns or even white horses. I kick my chair back since it has wheels on it and I go back a bit. Maybe I should take a break for now. A break from Minecraft. If Elan is on now without any problems he will probably be on later.

Anyways, I need to record that episode. It might be a good break from this stress. I disconnected from the server and decided just to play a different game.

I won't have enough time to edit a video so I'll just live. I set everything up for a livestream. Making sure the game I had I could play. I take a deep breath.

Just need to forget about Elan for a bit... Until I can better piece this weird story and witch together.
