Another short one, sorry!

Herobrine walked out to the balcony and stared at the forest before him. He spotted a few mobs lurking here and there in the shadows. Herobrine narrowed his eyes and muttered a few things mixed up in different tongues. Immediately, one mob from each type emerged from the forest and ran to the meadow. They clearly were waiting for Herobrine's presence.

Sky peeked from the curtains in interest. Herobrine smirked and teleported to the clearing to meet the mobs gathered. He turned to an enderman and a zombie with a iron helmet and sword. He growled and the two mobs straightened their stance.

"You two are going to help a bunch of humans. Your colonies are needed," he said mixed in ender tongue and growls. The two widened their eyes in shock.

The zombie growled, "Humans?! But why?"

The enderman gave the zombie an approving look and turned to Herobrine and spat, "Yeah, why should we help them. They keep trying to kill us!"

Herobrine remained calm but spoke with a stern tone, "Last time I checked, I was human too."

He walked closer, "Have you forgotten?"

The two exchanged worried glances and nodded slowly and spoke in unison, "Of course not. We respect your wishes, sir."

Herobrine narrowed his eyes, satisfied.

"Good. You two and your colonies are in charge of rebuilding Emerald Village," he said, switching to a calm tone.

The two nodded obediently and Herobrine gave a smile, "That's the spirit. Show me why you were appointed colony alphas."

He turned to the wolf colony and ocelot colony's leaders, "I trust your colonies with hunting. Bring as much food as you can to that building."

He pointed to the base. The wolf and ocelot nodded their furry heads and said in unison, "Yes, sir."

Herobrine turned to the other mob colony leaders. He gestured to the spider colony leader.

"Noah, can you-"

He stopped abruptly and looked at the female old looking spider colony leader, who stared back with sorrow in her eyes. She smiled softly and cooed, "It's okay, alpha. No one can ever forget Noah."

Herobrine sighed, "I know. He started everything, after all."

Herobrine sat on the railing as he watched the mob colony leaders send out their colonies to their respective roles. Sky gave him a grateful look. It was quiet for a while, the two just watched the sunset, their gazes traveling into space. Sky broke the peaceful moment though.

"Are you actually a human though? I'm pretty sure humans don't have strange powers."

Herobrine's face did not change. He turned slowly, his face slowly making a hurt look. Sky panicked.  Herobrine sighed and said, "Look, kid. I come right from before Minecraftia was a developed nation. It's complicated-"

Don't you dare.

Herobrine gulped. I won't.

Then shut up then.

Sky gave a confused look. Herobrine slowly laughed it off and smiled, "Just let me tell you something..."

You little brat... I'll end you.

Why don't you try.

Sky raised an eyebrow.

I don't even need to try.

"I-If your mind tells you to do the wrong, whatever you do... Never give in..."

Watch it.

"It'll corrupt you, kid. Just don't."

Sky nodded slowly. Herobrine forced a small smile.

Prepare to have everything before you disappear, little hero. I warned you. You let yourself become weak and vulnerable underneath this freak's company. You may have defeated me before, but just know that I will forever have you ready at my feet.

Herobrine looked away, avoiding Sky's calculating gaze. He forced his scowl down, and just let the voice eat away at his head.
