I'm being carried away.... I know I am to be executed in front of the entire village...
We arrive in the village. I am to stand in line and wait for my public execution.
My best friend, ArmyBoy2018, is put on the anvil. He bows down and rests his head, Below him, a basket. The executioner raises his axe, and with a swift movement, swings down as hard as humanly possible. At the last moment ArmyBoy lifts his head, and moves his hands which are tied into the path of the executioner. The executioner broke the ropes tying his hands. The executioner realizes he has set ArmyBoy free, and quickly swings again, but this time cuts open ArmyBoy's stomach.
I watch as my best friend screams in extreme agony, and dies.
I am next.
I step up, and bow to the anvil and rest my head. The executioner raises his axe. I am not stupid enough to resist my death, I will only experience more pain. He swings d own.
Less than half a slab from my neck, the axe stops as the ground opens up and causes the executioner to fall into what seemed like a bottomless chasm.
The other guards stared in awe of what just happened. The rest of the prisoners-just run. I quickly join the prisoners and run to escape the guards.
The guards chase after us. We are chased 3 miles, I am more exhausted than anyone has ever been. The last of the guards fall to the ground, extremely tired and cannot move.
My comrades run to the guards who have fallen and kill them. They acquire various enchanted items, with extremely high enchants. They also find several stacks of food such as cooked pork and steak. We need it more than anything, we are extremely low on food.
We travel to the nearest village that hasn't heard of us, as we are well known and wanted.
Most of them are captured, leaving us with 3 people, including myself.
They abandon me. I am left with nothing but my instinct.
I come across a village, quite large. The villagers have excellent trades, and the residents are amazingly kind. I decide I could stay here awhile. They haven't heard about my crimes, which is good, my close encounter with death has taught me not to commit such acts.
I search the village for some kind of leader. The highest ranked person in the village was under the username "DeathEater" , which is a bit of a harsh name for someone you put your trust into for a leader.
I meet DeathEater in the village square. I ask him "Is there anywhere available for me to stay?" She (yes, she :O) says "Hmm... let me have a look." He then leaves and goes to check if there are any open houses to stay in.
S**T! Something has just occurred to me, I have no funds to pay rent.
DeathEater walks over to me and says "We currently do not have any houses open for you to stay in. Although, you may stay at then inn for a few days until we can get one built." I reply "That would be great... but... I have no money to pay rent..." He ponders the area. He says "Tell you what, you can stay at the inn for 2 days for free, but you will have to work with us to build the house, the house will also cost you $1500" I thought to myself 'How am I supposed to raise that much? But... its a good deal.' and I reply "Sounds fair, I'll take it."
He took me to the inn, where they provided me a room with a bed, a furnace, and a window with an excellent view of the village.
I have a little food, but its enough to refill my bar. I eat the only food I have.
I climb into bed and lay awake for hours. But finally fall asleep in the late hours of the night.
