The Mine

If there was anything that children loved more than anything, it was adventure. Unless they were house dwellers, there was nothing more that excited the little runts than the thrill of the outdoors. If they were cooped indoors for too long, especially adventurous types, they might suffocate from boredom.

Magnus and his gang of friends were no different. Today, they all gathered in the treehouse that they painstakingly built and discussed about the things they would do today.

"I say we go climb mountains!" Soren suggested.

"Nah, I'd prefer to fight some mobs. I haven't practiced for a while; I think I'm getting rusty." Gabriel said as he stood up from the circle and started sparing with his stone sword.

"You all are booooring. I'd say we go and blow stuff up!" Magnus shouted with enthusiasm, waving a piece of flint and steel in the air.

"Aren't they all a bit too much for us? How the nether are we supposed to climb mountains when we can't even survive climbing up fifty flights of stairs?" Ivor said.

"I agree with Ivor." Ellegaard said, crossing her arms. "And I'm sure as heck that fighting mobs would be a death wish for us, except Gabriel of course. And don't get me started on blowing things up. I know what you're planning Magnus." She then gave Magnus an icy glare, which was almost enough to melt anybody else into a puddle of nothing, but Magnus wasn't just anybody else. He returned the glare with his own. Soon the duo were engaged in a miniature staring contest.

Instead of breaking them apart, Ivor stood up and walked towards a map that was pasted on the wall with duct tape. The edges of the map was yellowed with age and torn in some parts, but it still held up. He then scanned the map while tracing his fingers along the surface until he stopped at a particular area.

"Guys, I think I found an area that we haven't explored yet." Ivor said, piquing the interest of the group.

Soren dashed towards Ivor and slammed his palms on Ivor's shoulders. "Tell us potion man, where!?"

Groaning in annoyance, Ivor swatted Soren's hands off his shoulders. "I told you to stop calling me that! Anyway, there's this mine--"

"Mining? Really? I thought we already did some mining a week ago, so why th--"

"Shut it Magnus. As I was saying, the mine that I speak of is the mine that is furthest from our town. You know, that mine that all the adults warned us to stay away from?"

"Oh yeah... wait... are you suggesting to us that we're going to go mining at that mine? Are you nuts, Ivor!?" Ellegaard screeched, grabbing Magnus's right hand and squeezed it with incredible strength to show her disapproval.

"I know, I know. We'll just mine near the surface." Ivor reassured through the yells of pain from Magnus.

"But... there must be a reason as to why we were told to stay away! What if it's infested with mob spawners? What if it's filled with mine bombs? What if--"

Magnus slapped his palms onto Ellegaard's mouth to silence her. "Don't be such a scardey-cat. You're always so careful and shit, it's annoying. If you wanna have a real adventure, you must take risks!"

"Besides," Gabriel stopped sparing and sat next to Ellegaard. "We'll be the first ones to explore the unexplored! Just think about all the great things the other kids will say about us! The Order Of The Stone make it back from the Forbidden Mine alive!"

At this point, it was very difficult for Ellegaard to convince the others to abort the plan and make up a new one. She may be the most influential of the group, but with their minds all set, it was literally impossible to get them to change their minds now.
