Chapter 4

Travel
I woke up at the rising sun and a pair of arms wrapped around me. I think back and everything from last night hits me, I slowly get up to not wake up Wilbur and look outside and it's almost noon. I walked down and prepared a tart which I took upstairs and left it beside Wilbur's bed. I quickly ran outside tugging on and fastening my boots as I jump down the road. I see the one of the night guards trying desperately not to fall asleep.

"Hey, it was Jonas right? Go to sleep it's nearly noon."

I look up at the tall piglin with cornbraids as she looks at me with pure bright yellow eyes.

"We, had a rough night, and with last week's announcement about the villages in the west, I think we should check up on them."

I think and realize she might be right, the surrounding smaller villages were more that three times smaller and mostly relied on us for any support.

"I think you're right, but we need to plan and maybe pack some extra food and all that could take days, Jonas."

She scratches her scarred ear and looks at me with a disappointing look. As if me saying that it will take a while to pack was something that offended her whole race.

"My family's in a small village further west, not only that but my girlfriend's family is also far west, please. She is very very worried about her family and mine too. I, I just feel like there is something wrong."

I see the pleadings in her eyes and I nod my head, quickly thinking how fast we can depart and head to the villages instantly fills my mind. My thinking is quickly interrupted as Jonas starts tapping her foot impatiently.

"Alright, if you go to sleep a bit later then we can head to the villages tomorrow first thing, I'll leave the village to Kane."

She grins revealing her sharp shiny teeth which are stained with gold and gold replacement teeth. She quickly departs to the bakery where her girlfriend works to make sure she stays up later.

How many horses do we have? Five or six right? Maybe one more guard and that would be the 4 of us, but I think it's better to get one more person just in-

"AAAHHH!!"

My face slams into a firm chest which makes me jump, only to see Wilbur looking amused and the village giggling. I rub my nose as he starts loudly laughing and has to squat down.

"Oh that reminds me of last week when you slammed into my chest! Oh that was great!"

I pout and ruffle his hair before passing him and walking in the direction of my house. He quickly catches up as I am feeding my horse hay and start petting it.

"I'm planning to go check on other villages further west just in case, they've always relied on us, and with the very dangerous criminals around."

"Yeah, I think we should, then if we see them, we'll know what we're dealing with. Unless the King is just lying and just doesn't want to send anything here."

"No, Technoblade is not like that, he isn't Etienne, he doesn't sacrifice nor flee. He isn't manipulative, because the Illagers told me that he Etienne enlisted the help of Herobrine's son and then ran off like a coward."

"I think Technoblade might be overwhelmed with a new kingdom and stuff. But are you sure it's safe to travel? I'm sure it is very dangerous, the letter has stated so."

"If you're so concerned about my wellbeing then go with us."

I open the door to my house and quickly start packing, I pack clothes, maps, and some food. I see Wilbur packing his things too, I smile and open my closet and grab a bow and a very rare netherite sword.

"WOAH!!! NO WAY! Is that netherite?? Wow!! That is so so rare! How did you get it?"

"Hey keep it down, yeah, I traded it quite long ago, for gold, diamonds, food and some other things."

"It's so beautiful, can I hold it??"

I hand it over to Wilbur as he stares at it in awe, he traces a finder over the dark purple sparkling metal from the neather. He hands it back to me as I put the shiny blade into my scabbard.

"We should help out in the fields, and then before every retires I'll announce that I'm traveling to other villages."

I place down all my things for travel and head out to the fields with Wilbur. We had a ton of food in our silos and we could share that with other villages.

"Westwood hills villagers!! May I have your attention please! Tomorrow, I, Jonas, Wilbur and Lilac will be traveling far west to check on the villages! As the biggest and strongest village in the west it is in my best interest to continue supporting them! For now I am leaving the village to Kane!"

The village burst into murmurs and concerned conversations. They all seemed like they didn't want me to go, but it's better to make sure the other villages are safe. I hopped off the wagon I told my short announcement from and met up with Wilbur.

"I'm kind of scared, who knows wgo those individuals are? Rogues?"

Wilbur placed a hand on my shoulder to comfort me which didn't help me relax. We continued walking down to my house making small talk.

"Good night Wilbur, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
