Minecraft Adventure

Skeleton and Witch

The sun was already starting to rise. Dang it! I still haven't found anything. After running off and saying I would find a cure, I figured I would need to find a witch.

"How the heck am I supposed to find a witch that will help me?" I asked out loud.

"I may be of help," a voice said. I turned around to see a boy. No, wait. He's a skeleton. Since our bodies changed back to what they originally looked like, these passive mobs have been appearing more often.

"Who are you?" I asked the boy. I smiled internally. He was able to sneak up on me without me noticing, even with my enhanced senses. This boy is good.

"I'm Death-Boy2, but you can call me Jeff," he said stepping out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. He was extremely pale, had sunken in blue eyes, and really skinny limbs. "I can help you. You said you needed to find a witch, correct?" He asked smiling a little bit.

I stuck out my hand, "I'm Mike and yes I do." I noticed a ray of sun poke its way over the horizon and tree tops. I took off my cloak and put it on Jeff. "Don't want you catching on fire. Let's go," I said motioning for him to lead the way.

After thirty minutes of running through the forest, we arrived at a shack in the middle of a swamp. "Here we are," Jeff said pointing to the door. I didn't hesitate to enter into the shack. So the passive mobs are out there, you just have to look for them. This witch was one of them. "Hey Emily. I brought someone here that needs your help," Jeff said closing the door behind him.

She glanced over her shoulder at me and snorted. "I don't typically like adventurers. Please leave," she retorted looking back towards her work.

I took off my mask and responded, "I'm Mike. I need your help. My friend was turned into a zombie villager and I need to cure her. She's important to one of my best friends."

She tensed up and half-way turned to face me. "The Reaper?" She asked me through the slits in her eyes.

"Yes ma'am," I said nodding my head.

She sighed before continuing, "Alright, I will help you." She started combing through her books and recipes. "Found it," she stated as she brought an old book over to me and opened it. "Here's the cure. Hit her with a splash potion of weakness and then feed her a golden apple. After a few minutes she will be back to normal," she said before she brought me the necessary items for the cure.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked

"Because you are the only one who can kill them," she said handing me the items.

I got a quizzical look and asked, "Them?"

After that question she got a look of fear in her eyes. "I cannot mention their names or they will kill me. I can say that one of them comes from a prophecy that the enderpeople have. You and an enderwoman are to kill this certain being. The other I don't dare mention," she said quivering.

I knew who she was talking about. That's the same prophecy that Andr told me about. "Thanks. I will be in your debt," I said grabbing the items and heading towards the door.

"I will remember that," she said as we left the shack and closed the door.

"I need to hurry back," I said running in the direction of my teammates, with Jeff following close behind.
