-can I pleeeeeeeease come hunting with you this time?

I asked my uncle, a high ranking brute, who had announced to the other inhabitants of the bastion that there was to be a hunt. Those pesky hoglins had gone too far and hurt a piglin child. We all wanted revenge for Humphrey, me especially since he was one of my favorite children to look after. 

Though I doubted I would be allowed to join. Since my hair is golden, and shiny,  and I'm half "human"(whatever that is) I'm seen as part of the treasure, a thing to be kept safe. Because of this, my duties are INSIDE ONLY. Which basically just means: take care of children, help with cleaning the empty stables, and guard the treasure. So the likelihood of my being allowed to come along? Zilch. Zappo. Never. No chance.

-no. You need to make sure that none of the children leave the bastion while the adults are away. We don't need any of our children, or treasure for that matter, in jeapordy.

And there it is, my point is proven.

I went off to the nursery -the place the children are kept- to sulk. *Cough cough* as per usual. *cough cough*

When I got there, however, I noticed Bekkie, another of my favorites (and the most mischievous/ heart attack inducing) holding something behind her back. It was Brown, and looked like one of the glowy books (author here, they don't know what enchanted books are), but... not shiny? She held it out to me when she saw me looking, and said with a smile 

-I found it in the red forest!

-Ok, just don't tell uncle rodney you were in the red forest. You know you're not supposed to be there, especially since Humphrey got a booboo from one of the meanie hoglins that lives there!

-Humphrey's booboo must have been really big if we're not allowed to play with him. 

Said vivienne, seemingly deep in thought. None of the piglinettes seemed to be frightened, worried for Humphrey, sure, but not panicking. Which was good. I tossed the "book" in my (extremely large) pocket, and put it out of my mind for the time being.
