-In The Cave-

(3rd Person)

(6th Part)

The three made it to a small cave. The small drips of water leaked through the stone ceiling. The area felt damp and warm in the cave. Their footsteps echoed while they strolled through the cave. Petra then walked over to a nearby ladder and began to step down each wood step. Jesse then began to climb down too. Reuben jumped down a little and stood there for a few seconds and then walked towards the two as they continued to walk through the moist feeling cave.

"I wanna show you something. Also Blair can heal up that bad cut on your shoulder." Petra spoke as her arms moved with her body as she walked. Reuben oinked with a big smile on his face. Jesse then hummed in reply and they responded with curiosity in their tone. "Not this isn't a cool dimly lit tunnel, but... how far away is this thing you want to show me?"
Petra then chuckled a little and she glanced back at Jesse. "Careful, Jesse. You don't want to get a reputation as a wimp!" Petra then jabbed Jesse's shoulder with her elbow. Jesse then shook their head and they crossed their arms and rolled their eyes. "This isn't the first time being in a cave, Petra."

Then Petra stopped walking and she put her hands on her hips waiting for Jesse and Reuben to stop moving. Jesse then stopped dead in their tracks curious why Petra stopped moving. Reuben oinked in confusion as he wondered the same thing. "Yeah. But have you ever seen.. A wither skull?" Petra asked as she grabbed a small charcoal black skeleton head from her pocket. She held it to Jesse for them to see. Jesse's eyes grew wide in surprise and shock. They couldn't believe what they were looking at. Reuben grunted in surprise as well as he looked up at the skull. "Woah!"
"Fresh from the Nether! You're the first person I've showed it to. So you'd better appreciate this. Not even Blair." Petra responded as her thumb traced around the blocky skull a little.

"You risked your own life for that dusty old skull?" Jesse asked putting their hands on their hips tilting their head a little to the side a frown creeping on their face. Petra then shook her head and reponded. "No, I risked my life for what I'm gonna exchange for that dusty old skull." Petra then put her wither skull back in her inventory and then sighed a little. They began walking again. The drip sounds from the leaks continued echoing as it dropped onto the stoney floor. "There's this guy I'm meeting up with at Endercon... he's gonna trade me a diamond for it. Being the resident go-getter pays off every once in a while! Literally." Petra chuckled a little. A small smirk forming on her face.

Jesse still had many questions that popped in their head all at once. "But why didn't he just go get the skull himself?"
Petra then looked over to Jesse and then sighed and she crossed her arms as she walked. "He's not the kind of guy who has time to do something like that."

"Wow!" Jesse exclaimed with a quiet tone and Petra then looked at them with their eyebrow cocked up. "Wow... what?" The group then stopped walking through the cave. Standing there while Reuben oinked happily. Jesse then looked back at Petra with a small look of admiration and interest. " In a single day.. you went to the Nether, you killed a Wither skeleton.. I mean, I did build a super cool statue, but still. It's pretty sweet being you, huh?" Jesse chuckled a little.

Petra then shook her head a little and then looked away and she then responded to Jesse. "You know... you could come with me. I mean, if you're too nervous, I totally get it. But I wouldn't mind a little back up. Blair only comes with me on rare occasions."

Jesse then looked at her with surprise. They couldn't help but feel excited. The Petra was telling them that they could join her. Jesse then gave a smirk and then responded with their hands on their hips. The two began walking again while Reuben followed the two.

"You want me? To come with you." Jesse asked. They still couldn't believe what they heard from Petra earlier. Petra nodded and then responded to Jesse. "Consider it my charitable act for the day." Petra chuckled. Jesse then smiled a little wider and giggled a little. "I'll consider it whatever you want me to consider it.. as long as I get to come!"

The three eventually made it to a small area with a chest and crafting table. Blair stood over the chest looking for something. She rummaged around in it carefully and she held a small rabbit foot in her hand and put it in her pocket with a sad look. She wished it was never used in potions. Blair then glanced over towards the three. She then hummed out and walked over to Jesse. 

"Lucky you. You get to join Petra." She then looked over at Jesse's shoulder. Blair gagged a little when she saw the blood a little. "Oh God! Petra what happened to their shoulder?" Blair asked avoiding looking at the bloody cut on Jesse's shoulder. "Don't know. Just heard them scream in a high pitched voice." Petra responded. "Can you give them a healing potion?" Petra asked as she crossed her arms. Blair then rolled her eyes a little. "Yeah I can. Lucky for you this is my last one." Blair then held out a red potion from her inventory holding it out to Jesse for them to take. Jesse then hesitantly grabbed it with a thankful smile and then they opened the top. They then lifted the potion to their lips and began chugging the potion down their throat. The potion had a taste of melons and a feel of weird fiery spice with a small powdery yet watery texture. Immediately after the sip Jesse felt their cut close up and stop bleeding a little. Jesse's eyes widen a little. "Thank you.."
Blair nodded and then walked to the rocky wall and leaned her back against it and began to feel a sense of relaxation. 

Reuben looked over to her with a smile and oinked a little and walked over to her begging for head pats. Blair then looked down at Reuben and couldn't resist his adorable piggy face. She then bent forward to Reuben and began patting his head and petting his ears with a small smile on her face.
Jesse looked over at Blair with a surprised smile and then looked towards Petra who walked over towards the crafting table.

"So you two just keep a crafting table down here?" Jesse asked and then glanced at the two sisters. Petra then responded with a small shrug. "Comes in handy. Since that wooden sword of yours got busted.."
Jesse then gasped in excitement with their eyes widening a little. Their pupils dilated a little. "You're giving me a new one?!" Petra then nodded and tilted her head a little to the side. "Even better. You can make your own."

Jesse then nodded and then rushed over to the chest. They opened the chest wide open and began rummaging through it. Their eyes glanced around the different items the two sisters kept in there. Some stone, some glass, some empty bottles, some wooden planks and some raw food. "One stick, plus two stones, equals one sword. Just grab what you need." Petra told Jesse. Blair then spoke up as she continued giving Reuben attention as he gave squeals in contentment. "Except the puffer fish! That is important for me only!"

Jesse kept searching through the chest and then spoke up with curiosity in their tone. "Hey, is all this stuff yours?"
"No, we're just stealing from whoever was dumb enough to leave this here. Of course it's mine!" Petra responded with a huff. Blair chuckled at Petra's sarcastic remark as she continued twirling Reuben's floppy ears around her finger. Jesse then responded with an annoyed tone but didn't want to sound too disrespectful since they both let them use their chest and items. "Just making sure..." Jesse then saw the stone and sticks and then exclaimed with excitement. "Ooh, here we go! Jackpot!" Jesse held the blocks of stone and a group of sticks in their hands. Jesse then walked over towards the crafting table with an excited smile. They placed the two stone blocks on the wood crafting table. They then placed the stick down under the two stone blocks. It then poofed into a stone sword. Jesse then held the sword with a prideful smile. Reuben then left Blair and walked over to Jesse with a happy oink escaping his mouth. Petra then walked up to Jesse with a smile forming on her lips. "See, isn't it better when you make it yourself?"
Jesse then put the sword into their inventory and followed Petra out of the cave. Reuben followed quickly behind them. Blair quickly went in the chest and took some potion ingredients and stuffed it in her inventory and swiftly snuck back to catch up to Petra and Jesse.
