Zach's POV

But that's easier said than done.

BUT I'M PREPARED; I made a checklist!

Okay, so,

1. Tell Harry everything;

2. Hopefully get him to help me;

3. Stock up on food and tools;

4. Make sure Harpo's healthy;

5. Look for clues about Nya's whereabouts;

6. Follow those clues;

7. Save Nya;

8. Kick Steve in the ass. Hard.

I read over it again. Wow, that's a lot of stuff I have to do. First, tell Harry. How should I explain . . .

Harry's POV

I pulled the bow as far back as I could, then released. Damn it, missed again.

I had set up this little archery practice thingy, and although I've been using it for quite some time, the target always seems out of reach.

I sighed, and put down my bow. So much for the get-better-at-archery thing.

"Giving up already?" Said a voice.

I turned around to see Zach Dare leaning against a pile of sand.

OHMIGOD HARRY DON'T FREAK OUT DON'T FREAK OUT DON'T FREAK OUT KEEP COOL MAN

I tried not to squirm in excitement. I MEAN THIS IS ZACH DARE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. THE ZACH DARE, BEST SWORDSMAN IN THE EAST OF MINECRAFTIA. WHATS NOT TO SCREAM ABOUT?

Geez, I sound so much like fangirl. (A/N: Believe me, I would know)

But seriously, he's like my idol. I've looked up to him since, like, forever. I know, we're the same age and all, but still.

Zach Dare is East Minecraftia's most skilled and well-known swordsman. He started dueling when he was 12, and now, at the age of 18, he was a champion. He never lost a match.

Except for one, apparently.

Whoever this 'Nya' is, they must've been an amazing swordsman to beat Dare.

Oh, right. Dare. Almost forgot.

"Oh, hey, Zach? What you doing here?"

I tried to sound as casual as I could, buy frankly, I failed pretty bad.

"Oh... Nothing much. You shoot much?" He replied, gesturing to the bow I had in my hands.

"No, not really. I'm not very good." I answered honestly, dipping my head.

"Here, I'll help."

Before I knew it, Zach was drilling me through. My fingers were sore, but my archery skills had already improved.

But I couldn't hide my curiosity.

"Hey, Zach, why do you know so much about archery? I thought you were a swordsman?"

He smiled. "I am. Definitely prefer it."

"So where'd you learn it?"

"Nya taught me. She was an amazing archer."

There's this 'Nya' again.

"Zach, who is Nya? You seem to talk about her a bit."

His smile disappeared, and he sat down. "That's what I came to talk to you about, actually."
