Minecraft: The Story of Steven Cubex

Chapter 5: Hidden Past

Beta: XxAlty_KingxX

Steve woke up around noon from his adventurous mining escapade with Blake. Where they both gathered a wealth of iron ore, cobblestone, coal, some flint from gravel and lapus lazuli. Steve was thinking again about Blake's edginess towards any talk about his wife or his past. Steve knew that it was insensitive of him to be so nosey but something was bothering him about this.  And he felt that it was bothering Blake also. Steve knew he couldn't go directly to Blake so he had to do the next best thing. He had to try to pry some information from Bobby. He climbed out of bed, got out of the house which he realized was empty. And that he hasn't seen Blake's daughter is awhile either.  He wondered where she was. The last time he had seen Paige was when she went into the woods with her wolf to hunt. Steve then realized that he was being distracted and had to focus on finding Bobby. We went to the entrance of the village but didn't find him there. He approached one of the other guards.

"Greetings sir. Is there something the matter?" The guard asked. He was much older then Bobby and had a thick Irish accent. He was also twice as big.

"No, I was just curious on where Bobby was. He usually guards here." Steve answered.

"Aye. He's over by the blacksmith. Said his sword needed some repairin'. That was about half an hour ago. The lil' fucker better not be goofing off."

"Right...Well thank you..."

"Brody. Brody Callahan." Brody the guard reaches out on of his vary large hands to shake.

Steve takes the hand and shakes it. Brody's grip was like a bear trap. Crushing Steve's hand. Brody could see the painful look on Steve's face and laughed heartily before releasing Steve's hand.

"I'm Steven Cubex. I prefer Steve though." Steve said rubbing his poor crushed palm.

"It's a pleasure Mr. Cubex Now when you find Bobby. Tell him to get his arse back here before Brody here shoves that sword of his up his arse!"

"I will. Talk to you later Brody."

"Aye."

Steve started making his way to the Blacksmith. It wasn't hard to find it. He just needed to follow the smell of smoke and metal like when he dropped off the mining rewards. When he got to the blacksmith he saw Bobby chatting with the man. The blacksmith was named Richard Talley.

"Bobby!" Steve shouted.

"I'm sorry Mr. Callahan sir! I was just- Oh. It's just you. What's going on Mr. Cubex?" Bobby said after he had fumbled with his perfectly looking, not broken, sword and turned around towards Steven.

"Before I tell you, I need to ask what that was all about?" Steve asked with a small chuckle.

"Oh...well... Brody Callahan is pretty well....intimidating. He's a total hard ass. I get that he was a guard way before me but that doesn't mean you got to bust my balls for every time I mess up one little thing. I needed a break from it all so I said that my sword was a little busted and came here to relax for a little bit." Bobby said after seething away his sword.

"That's a bit of an understatement. He wouldn't stop talking. I humored him for a little bit but then I just started ignoring him." Richard said as he was setting up his forge. Throwing in coal into a furnace creating a large fire.

"Yeah thanks jack ass." Bobby growled at Richard.

"Sorry can't hear ya."

Bobby scoffs and tried to walk away but Steve stopped him.

"I know that Brody wanted you to come get me." Bobby said.

"Yeah but that's not why I'm here. I want to ask you more about Blake's past."
