Fading Lights: Returned Lights | Herobrine x Redrare

Part 4: Request

I let out a quiet groan, rolling my eyes. "How the fuck did you even get in here?", I asked in annoyance. "How'd you get past the others?" 
He looked at me like he didn't understand. "Others?", he mumbled. "There's no one here, Herobrine." 
I took a step back, digging my nails into the wood of my scythe. "Yes there are! And even if they're outside, how the hell did you get in?!" 
"The door was open. So I went inside." 
"Where's Nightmare then? He doesn't leave the house unlocked and refuses to leave with Althea since we still have a dragon flying around." 
"That's my question for you, Herobrine." 
I fell silent, now realizing what was happening. I hissed and raised the scythe. "You're not getting them you asshole. Now fuck off before I get the cops for breaking and entering.", I threatened. He just giggled. "Oh, they'd love to come to a house filled with cannibals, murderers and dead bodies in the basement!", he sneered. 
I paused. I mean, he was right, but how did he...? 
"How do you know?", I asked sharply. He shrugged and dusted his general tunic off. "Zephyr is a cannibal and killer. He enjoys likeminded company. And your reputation is known all across the globe, Lost Soul.", he explained and glanced up to me. "Especially that torture part. A fine work of art, it's rare to see that happen. You have quite some interesting ideas after all." 
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" 
"It was a showcase of my respect towards you, more or less. You're one interesting person, which is why I require your help." 
I raised an eyebrow. "What for?", I asked. "Since I won't get to know where Zephyr and his family are, I need your help with something else. I heard you're good with robotics.", he explained. I set the blade onto the ground and leaned onto the handle. "Yeah, I am. Why?" 
"I need two suits. One roughly 2,10m tall, the other one only about 1,20m." 
I raised an eyebrow. "Suits? I'm not a tailor, my guy." 
"Not that kind of suit. A robotic suit. One that can apprehend someone. In my job we need to apprehend a lot of people, a suit could help quite a lot with that." 
"Why those specific sizes tho?" 
"Most people are around 1,80m tall. To give them some space, we wanted them to be taller. And for the kids the 1,20m one, they're used for evacuating them. Also, they need to be remote controlled." 
I thought a bit, finding that suspicious, but not judging. "If the price is right, I could make that happen.", I eventually agreed. He chuckled and detached a rather big sack from his belt, tossing it onto the bed. "Is that enough?", he asked. 
I eyed him a bit before taking the sack and looking inside. There was a lot of gold, diamonds and emerald, plenty for that request. 
I still didn't trust this, so I took a diamond out and inspected it closely. Evan watched me calmly while I inspected what he handed over. 
After a while I finally nodded. "Fine. I'll do it.", I said and put the sack onto the bedside table. Evan smiled, almost happily. "I'm so glad! I was nearly worried you wouldn't agree!" 
I grunted a small bit and got to work. He realized he overstayed his welcome and left, humming quietly. I watched as he shut the door and left the house a short while later. 
A weird guy... But he payed me well, so I can't just refuse his request. Even tho I really didn't trust this... Those measurements are weird. 
I shrugged a bit and started my work, making blueprints and stuff like that. It confused me on why he was asking for Nighty and Althea tho... And where the hell are the others? 

It took me a few hours before I finished with the blueprint. So now it was only getting the metal to make them, but that shouldn't be too hard.
I grabbed my jacket and the sack before heading out. Red passed me, but neither of us reacted to the other.
How odd... I'd have figured he'd at least say hi.
I sighed and headed to the blacksmith in the nearby town. He made some good ass metal projects, and never fails to deliver on time. Tho, no one knows who he is since he always wears a black mask.
I entered the building and was greeted with the warm air from the forge and the smell of heated up metal. It was oddly relaxing, ngl.
With my blueprints in hand, I headed to the counter. The owner was currently at his forge, finishing what seemed like the blade of an axe. He gave it a last polish before getting up and putting the blade back onto its handle, securing it.
Only then did he notice me.
He put the axe away and came over to the counter, taking his gloves off. "How may I help you?", he asked rather softly. So softly, that it made me confused. I recognize that voice....!
I shook that thought off and cleared my throat. "I need some stuff from you. Earlier on a guy requested two robot suits from me, I need the corresponding pieces. You think you can make them for me?", I asked.
"Depends on price and measurements."
I nodded and put the blueprints onto the table. He took them and got a good look. "Hm... Do you mind if I take a picture of them? There are quite a few pieces to make, it'd be easier just to have a picture.", he explained. I agreed and he took a quick picture of both blueprints with his phone. "How many pieces in total?", he asked in the meantime. "78 pieces. 36 for the small one, 42 for the bigger one.", I replied. He slowly nodded. "78 pieces... Including the cost for the metal and the effort that sums up to...", he mumbled more to himself before he looked at me, voice back to normal. "210 gold. Are you sure you have that much?"
I smiled and took out 11 diamonds, putting them onto the table. "That would be enough?", I asked. He tilted his head before nodding and handing me 10 gold back, which I dropped into the sack.
"By thursday I should be done. I'll bring them over to your place with my truck."
I nodded and took the blueprints, wishing him a good day and leaving, humming.
So far so good.
