I was on the ground, eyes were closed and I was scared to open my eyes, I wasn't sure if any of the people were out there. I then Herd a loud scream....it's sounded just like a...ghast? I opened my eyes to see some red blocks.. Wait that's netherrack? Am I.... "What the heck" I said under my breath. "What is a human doing here" something said. "Huh?" I said sitting up looking around. I then saw a zombiepigmen "what are you doing here" it said wait did it just talk. I had no words "d-did you j-just... T-talk?" I asked being a little scared. "wait....you can understand me?" It asked in aw. "Y-yeah..." I said looking at it. "A-are you a brine?" It asked me. My eyes were wide open "uh... Y-yeah... W-why?" I said getting more scared. "Because brines can understand us" he said a bit more happy. I had no words after what it said, "this can't be real..." I mumbled under my breath, that barely I could understand it. "Hi I'm reuben" he said. "Oh, I'm... Penguin..." I said smiling a little. "Don't worry, none of us harm a brine" he said bringing out he's hand for me to grab. I smiled, I grabbed his hand. He pulled me up "so how did you end up on the floor" he asked. I blushed with embarrassment "hehe... Long story short I was pushed into a nether portal and somehow I'm on the floor" I said. "Who pushed you" he asked. "Well... It was a crowd and they somewhat pushed me in it..." I said. "Oh...I'm sorry...hay do you want to meet my friends" he asked me. "Uh sure" I said. "Great come on" he said and started walking. I followed 'he's a nice pigmen' I thought smiling. "Hay pete!!" Reuben yelled to a Magma cube. I looked to see a somewhat large magma cube, but he was probably the size of my head. "Hi reuben....who is this?" Pete asked Reuben "this is penguin, she is a brine" reuben said. I waved "hello" I said smiling. Pete smile "hi....if I could wave I would" he said. I giggled a little "well then" I said smiling. Pete jumped turds us "so Pete where is blaze?" Reuben asked. "Blaze? I'm guessing he or she is a Blaze?" I said saying the obvious. "Yes she is" Pete said smiling. "That's cool" I said smiling, looking around "so much lava...." I said in aw. "Well...blaze is at the castle" Pete said, then we hear a loud scream. I jumped "what the heck was that?!" I said scared. "Sounds.....like gigi" Reuben said. "Gigi?" I said looking around to see a small Ghast. "Hi guys....who's this" the ghast said "hi gigi,that is penguin, she is a brine" reuben said. I hated being called a brine but if it prevents me from being killed then so be it, "hi" I said happily. "Hi I'm gigi" she said happily. I smiled, I looked around, the nether was huge, I mean GIANT this place is awesome. "Where are going to the castle to find blaze, do you want to come?" Pete asked gigi "sure" she said. "A castle?" I said looking at Pete. "Yah it's where herobrine lives" Pete said. I went pale "h-herobrine?" I said with an expression full of fear. "Are you ok?" Gigi asked. "H-herobrine... I-is here?!" I said bitting my lip. "What's wrong, are you ok" Pete asked. "N-no herobrine can't be here... No no no!" I said as my eyes began to glow. "Penguin what's wrong?" Reuben asked. "I need to get out of here before herobrine sees me" I said, I didn't know what to do. "Why?" Asked pete. I looked at them all "I'm dead if he sees me" I said. "Well there is no way out of here....but you can hide at my house if you want to?" Reuben said. I thought for a moment "herobrine will find me regardless" I mumbled, "why if it isn't penguin" I heard someone say, I turned around to see herobrine himself. "Your majesty" Pete said. "Hello Mobs" herobrine said, "and I see that a friend has joined us in the nether" he said looking at me, I gulped. "Yah her name is penguin" gigi said. He went up to me "so happy you're here" he said in a sly voice, I didn't say a word to him. "Yah she is a brine" reuben said. "I see" he said, "how about you come to my castle and fit in at your right place" he added, I backed up a bit "I... I d-don't want t-to" I said. "Why don't you want to go" Pete asked. "Because it's h-herobrine..." I said, herobrine came up to me "I'm not gonna hurt you, all the things I did was because you were with King Rob and his friends, I meant none of it" he said. "King rob?!?! Ewwww" gigi said with a disgusted look on her face. I looked at her but the looked back at herobrine "here you aren't a misfit, you belong here" he said  smiling, almost a smirk. "Yah....I wish I was a brine" Reuben said. "No! I belong somewhere else!" I said backing away. "Come on penguin you will love it there" gigi said. I looked down "I... I guess" I said. "Yay you get to meet blaze" Pete said jumping with joy. "Well let's get going" said herobrine as he started to walk towards I assume the direction of the castle. "So penguin, how do you like the nether so far" reuben asked. I looked at him "it's very... Hot here but it's not that bad" I said. "Yah it is hot here....but it doesn't hurt us" weuben sat. "You're lucky" I said looking around. "King herobrine, can brines swim in lava to?" Asked gigi. "No, most brines aren't stupid enough to actually try, but we can't" he said. "Oh...."gigi said. "No brine wants to swim in lava, and why would anyone want to" he said. "...but we swim in lava" Pete said. "True" he said. "Hay penguin?" Pete asked. "Y did you hang out with king rob and he's friends?" Asked pete. "Is it problem?" I asked. "Well..no...yes...no...uhhhh...I don't know" Pete said. "It's either yes or no Pete" I said. "Uhhhhhh...I don't know I was just asking, why you hang out with king rob" Pete asked. "I can hang out with whom I please" I said crossing my arms, I wasn't happy at the moment, being with herobrine and that isn't something I like. "Gees you don't have to be so mean, he was just asking" gigi said. I glared at herobrine, then looked down. Pete mumbled something under his breath but I couldn't make it out. "We're almost there" herobrine said, I didn't honestly care, I just had my arms crossed and looked down. "Penguin are you ok?" Reuben asked. I looked at him "perfectly fine" I said with annoyance in my voice. "Is it because of my friends....I'm sorry if it is" he said. "No it's none of you guys...." I glance at herobrine again "it's something else" I said looking back down. "Is it because you where banished to the nether?" Reuben asked. "You know, I'm perfectly fine ok? I told you I'm fine" I said in a somewhat mean voice. "S-sorry I d-didn't mean t-to annoy y-you" reuben said with hurt in he's voice. I looked down "I'm sorry..." I said lowly. "No I'm sorry, I shouldn't of asked you all those questions" reuben said. "It's fine" I said, we then arrived at the castle. "Where is blaze" gigi asked. "She should be in the main room" herobrine said, he then turned to me "after you meet blaze come to my thrown room" he whispered to me, I became scared. "Let's see blaze" gigi said happily. I smiled a little "ok lead the way" I said. "So how do you like the castle" Pete asked. "It's cool... Very cool" I said. "Don't you mean hot, ha I make jokes" reuben said. I just face palmed, then smiled. "Hay blaze" gigi yelled. She yelled right in my ear "ow dude what the heck" I said looking at her. "Sorry...but there is blaze" gigi said. I look ahead to see a blaze coming towards us. "Hi guys....who her" blaze said looking at me. "The names penguin" i said smiling. "Hi I'm blaze" she said. "Nice to meet you" I said looking around. "Are you a brine?" She asked. "Yeah...." I said. "Cool....well I hope you like it here I got to go" blaze said. "See ya" I said as she went away. "Well we are going to by penguin" gigi said and thay all left. I sighed, "nice mobs...." I said to myself as I walked to find the thrown room "now to deal with herobrine" I said.

I walked into the thrown room and it was huge. "Woah this is giant beyond compare" I said looking around. "Why hello penguin" herobrine said. My face went pale for a moment "h-hello" I said. "Come in" he said with a smirk. I walked towards him, I looked around. "So how do you like it here" he said. I was in shock for a moment "I-it's nice..." I said. "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you" he said. "I can't trust your word" I said crossing my arms. "Look penguin, I'm not your enemy...I'm not the one that pushed you into the portal" he said. "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" I yelled angrily at him. "That's because you where with king rob" he said. "SO?! YOU STILL TRIED TO KILL ME!!" I yelled "look i just tried to kill you cuz you were with the king but I didn't mean to" I said impersonating him, "HOW DOES ONE NOT MEAN TO KILL" I yelled. "Look...I'm sorry ok" he said. "I don't believe you" I said madly. "What can I do to change your mind" he said. "You can't do anything herobrine!" I said. "Just give me a chance" he said. "Why should I? If you give me one good reason then maybe I'll give you a chance!" I said crossing my arms. "I will never try to hurt you, or fare you, and I won't kill you" he said. I bit my lip "what do you want from me?" I asked. "All I want to do is be my ally" he said. "Why?" I asked. "Because you are a brine" he said. I looked down in a bit of anger "what does that mean?" I asked, would this mean I will be my friends enemy? "Look. in here you are not the enemy, mods here respect you, you are a friend here" he said. I looked down, "I.. I can't be D-disloyal to my f-friends" I said. "But penguin, where are your friends" he said. "But what" he said. "I am a knight and I can't betray my king and queen" I said standing up straight. "Do you mean the king that tried to kill you" he said. I didn't know what to say, Rob did try to kill me.... "And I'm the one that stoped him" he said. I sighed, I knelt down "I am your knight..... King Herobrine....." I said. He smiled "good" he said. I stood back up "I will obey your every command" I said. He's smile got bigger "even if I said kill the king" he said. My heart stopped for a moment, "y-yes......." I said looking down. He laughed "good...very good..." he said thinking. A tear went down my cheek, I didn't want to but... On the other hand, when the people sent me to this place he did nothing... Absolutely nothing. "What about the queen..." he said. "...and why is that" he said. "She means too much to me to be killed..... I won't kill her...." I said. ".....fine" he said in a grumpily voice. I looked down and thought "I'm sorry.... " I said. "For what" he said. "Not being able to kill the queen" I said. "It's ok...i-" he mumbled the last part where I couldn't here. "I-if she betrays me... Then I may...." I said looking at him. He smiled " interesting....." he said. "You can go now if you want" he said. "Ok..." I said walking out, as I was out of the thrown room I sighed "I'm sorry my friends..." I said.
