Man, this is short... Sorry about that!

It had turned 6 at night after Herobrine had finished his lecture of horse care and basic stuff. The group mounted their new horses and rode off. When they reached the stables, everyone stayed, removed their saddles, made a comfortable pen, groomed and fed their horses. Kaizer wanted to stay in the stables rather than go back to his herd. They entered the base after waiting for Tyler to stop calling Potato those stupid nicknames and every soldier stopped to salute the commander and corporal.

After the two high-ranked soldiers returned a salute, the soldiers continued their work but many murmured about the presence of Herobrine. Though he tried not to show it, Herobrine was feeling quite annoyed and upset at the same time. He heard everything and he just wanted to be normal for once. The familiar feeling of pain ticked away at his mind and he shuddered.

The group split up to their rooms and Brice immediately went to check on Seto. Rive followed Ty to his room and Herobrine to Sky's. Herobrine jumped onto the bed and groaned in delight, "Thank the Aether! This feels much better than sleeping on a bed made of obsidian..."

Sky turned and raised an eyebrow, "You sleep on a bed made of obsidian?"

Herobrine nodded and growled, "Sometimes, if i absolutely have to. It isn't comfy, I'll tell you that."

Herobrine threw the blanket over himself, muttering words of delight under the covers. Sky sat on his desk and smiled.

"Ya know, I can't help but think of you as a cat-"

"Kill yourself, Adam."

Sky chuckled at the response. He then turned and looked at the pile of documents piled up on his desk in two neat piles. He groaned and said, "You can sleep there for the night. I need to do something."

Herobrine mumbled a 'thank you' and shuffled beneath the covers playfully. After a few minutes of silence, Herobrine shot up, blanket pooled around his shoulders, "How's the progress of rebuilding Emerald Village?"

Sky threw a few documents across his table and sighed, "The progress is slow and I'm thinking of building tents outside the base temporarily."

He slammed his forehead onto his desk, "They're crowding the main hall. I also can't stand children ruining my base..."

Sky slammed his clenched fist underneath his desk angrily. Herobrine pitied him. A little.

"Don't worry about it. But... Why is the progress slow?"

Sky turned, "We don't have much resources or manpower to go and rebuild. I put Jordan in charge."

Sky took a document and threw it across the desk again. Herobrine reached out and read it.

Rebuilding Em. Village Report

I have separated the Elite soldiers and plain soldiers in different squads.

Some go out and collects resources for the rebuilding. Some go there to build with the current resources and the others protects the soldiers who are staying there overnight from mobs.

Only the well and water system have been completed but only a third of each house have been completed.

I have planned a fencing system. We shall build a wall up to four meters around the village made out of cobblestone and iron bars. Besides, the wooden fence had already been burnt by creeper explosions. Due to this, we need to mine and the only mine left other than Em. Village's is Vine Valley.

Hence, we take a longer time to travel and reach Vine Valley for its resources. But something terrible has happened. Six soldiers have fainted due to lack of nutrition and dehydration. There's something wrong.

The food sources at our base have decreased by a traumatizing 40% due to the many mouths added by the civilians.

We need more patrols or else more soldiers may pass out and the rebuilding of Em. Village will discontinue.

I ask for your support for this.

Sincerely,

Elite Soldier Jordan

Herobrine raised an eyebrow, "That's... Worrying."

"Ugh, I know!"

Herobrine sighed.

Sky raised his head, "Not only that but Jason had reported that lesser recruits are signing up. It dropped by 30%."

Herobrine kept a straight face but commented, "Yikes."

Sky groaned, "This is terrible!"

Herobrine smirked.

"You do know that I have back-up right? Let's say, hm, I don't know, thousands of back-up?"

Sky raised his head, his golden eyes glowing brighter with interest. Herobrine laughed, "I can get my zombies, skeletons and endermen to get cobblestone and iron bars for you. My wolves and ocelots can hunt food for your starving army. Not to mention that my skeletons and spiders can guard your building site."

Sky listened with more interest.

"My endermen and zombies can help rebuild and Emerald Village will be finished in no time."

He smirked. Sky smiled, "Will it work?!"

Herobrine nodded, "Positive."

Sky clapped and squealed, Herobrine eyeing his excitement with concern. He shrugged it off and said, "Anyways, I can send them the message right now and they'll come in a few hours."

Sky smiled, "You have my permission. Let me tell Ty to make an announcement."

Herobrine raised his head and smirked, "But, remember about training, okay? Next, we'll learn how to control elements. It's hard, but we'll get there."

Sky smiled with delight.

"I'll show up."
