I already know it's not like me to post 2 chapters in a short time span so don't question it and enjoy~
========================
(Seto's POV)

I heard a quick knock on my door interrupting me packing a backpack.

"The horses are ready," Mitch yelled on the other side.

"Okay," I yelled back and continued packing.

I put a few potions in my backpack, making sure to wrap them up so they wouldn't brake. I then packed a cloak and I was done. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and walked to my door. I opened it and headed to the stables where I would meet Mitch. I opened the gate and walked in. Mitch was standing beside his horse, a chocolate brown mustang with black socks, putting some things he would need into the saddle bag. The horse greeted me by neighing and shaking its head, causing its black mane to move and rest on the opposite side.

As Mitch finished he walked towards me to help me with my stuff. He took my backpack from me and walked to a completely black mare. As I approached it I recognized it immediately, it was my mare, Sideulda which translates to Wither from Korean. She backed away from me, bewilderment in her eyes. I guess she doesn't believe it's me just like everyone else. I stopped in my place, how would I get her to trust me and know it's me? I thought for a second before turning and running to the kitchen. Mitch said nothing, getting the idea of what I was doing.

As I entered the kitchen the cooks looked at me surprised at first but calmed after a moment.

"Can you get me an apple and some cinnamon?" I asked politely.

"Yes sir, give me a moment," one said as she gave me a smile and walked into the pantry.

Seconds later she came out holding what I had asked for. She gave them to me and I walked to the counter and grabbed a knife, cutting the apple in half and removing the seeds. I then sprinkled cinnamon on the slices, I picked them up and turned to the cook.

"Thank you," I bowed my head and turned to leave.

"No problem," she said behind me as I left.

I rushed back to the stables holding the apple slices. Mitch watched me with a small smile. I slowly walked towards Sideulda and held an apple slice out to her. It's her favorite treat, I remember, and the treat I gave her when she had wonder upon me years ago when I was out camping in the forest. Scared the Nether out of me. I spotted her, thought she was a wither, hence the name.

She slowly walked towards me and sniffed the apple, as she did I took a bite out of my slice just like I did when I met her. She seemed to smile and took a bite of her apple slice, she knew it was me. I smiled to myself as we both finished our apple slices. I walked towards her and rubbed her neck. She nuzzled my arm, I'm guessing saying she missed me.

"Better hurry up, we're wasting of daylight," Mitch said as he packed her saddle bag.

As everything was packed me mounted our horses and I followed Mitch to Rob's place. Hours passed and we finally reached Rob's place. A large cabin in the middle of a forest. Splash potions of health were in item frames on both sides of the door. Mitch dismounted his horse, I think was named Frederick, and walked to the door and knocked. A few moments later the door opened to reveal Rob. Now that I remember we had met before just not often.

"Oh, hey!" Rob greeted enthusiastically, then he saw me and his eyes widened in surprise," S-Seto?"

"Yep!"

"But-but, I thought you had dissappeared?!" He said stuttering.

"I did but woke up somewhere in the forest, didn't remember anything and still trying to regain my memories, some come in headaches and blackouts, others I just remember."

"O-okay, well what did you guys come here for?" He asked as he calmed down.

"We were wondering if you knew where Gavin is," Mitch asked.

"Yeah, come in," Rob said as he walked inside.

We followed him in and closed the door then followed him to a back room with tons of chests lining the walls. He walked to one and pulled out a map. He layed it out on a table and pointed to a glowing red dot near a glowing orange one.

"She's at Preston's place." He said almost sourly.

I studied his face for a moment before Mitch spoke.

"Again? You would think she'd get tired of going over there." Mitch said shaking his head.

"They're best friends, that's not gonna happen anytime soon," Rob said as he rolled the map up and placed it back in its rightful chest. He walked towards another one, opened it and pulled out two fire resistance potions.

"You'll need these where you're going." He said to me more than Mitch.

"Where exactly are we going?" I ask some what confused.

I knew Preston was a lava mob and all but why do we need fire resistance potions?

"You know the stone islands? Just off the west coast?" Mitch asks.

I nod.

"Well an underwater volcano erupted in the center caking it in lava and lava rock, practically Preston's territory." Mitch explained,"He's the only one who can deal with the condition, few others are exceptions."

"So we're basically walking into a volcano," I said.

"You could say that but most of it has cooled since it erupted the only lava that's left are the small lava lakes that scatter the place."

"Then what are these for," I ask, referring to the potions.

"The entrance to Prestons house it through a lava lake," Rob said.

"Ah," I said as I finally understood.

"Well it was great seeing you Rob but we have to get going," Mitch said as we walked towards the door.

"Good seeing you too but," Rob paused for a second as if debating on whether to continue or not,"why are you guys looking for Gavin in the first place?"

"We need information on Herobrine's castle, a way to finally get Fluffy, Alesa and Y/n back." Mitch answered.

"Well if it has to do with any of them I'll help you with anything you need." Rob said with a smile.

"Thanks, we'll definitely need you," Mitch said as he patted his shoulder," Bye."

"Bye," I said as we mounted our horses.

"Seeya guys later," Rob said as he waved and closed his door.

Now to the west! And hopefully not to many lava lakes...
