"Bluebell! Lunch is done!", Coco yelled loudly. I turned from the armor stand, "I'm on my way!", I yelled back. I put my sword away in the cabinet, and ran downstairs. I took my seat, "Bluebell, how many times do I have to tell you, don't ran downstair like that. It's unladylike.", Coco lectured. I smirked, "Oh, so yelling like a maniac is ladylike.", I said. Coco looked at me, "Touche Bluebell, touche.", Coco said. George walked through the door, "Hey ladies, ready to go to church?", George asked wiping sweat from his forehead.. "Of coarse! I haven't seen Father Abbot in awhile.", I said excitedly. "Probably because you're cooped up in your room all day long from 'training'.", Coco said. "And it's true!", I said. Coco rolled her eyes and smiled, "Alright brat, eat your food, and go help George with the farm.", she ordered playfully. "Yes Coco.", I replied.

After an hour of hard work, George, Coco, and I went to church to see Father Abbott. George opened the door, and let Coco and I through, "Thank you George.", I said politely. We took our seat, and waited until Father Abbott appeared on the platform. Slowly, the church was full of people, then Father Abbott appeared. "I'm not going to be preaching today, but to discuss the news from the Sora.", Abbott said simply. Then, everyone began to whisper, and I heard the conversation behind me. "The capital of Xipil? Why would they send news to Lore?", a woman asked. "I don't know, but I heard rumors that Herobrine breached their walls.", a man answered. Herobrine? I thought he was just a myth, I thought. "There's no way Herobrine could have breached those walls, he failed the last he tried.", the woman said. Coco must of noticed me eavesdropping, because I can feel her glare on the side of my head, so I stopped.

Abbott raised his hand, and everyone went silent once again. "I know this is a shock, but I need you to be quiet so I can tell you the dreadful news.", Abbott said. Dreadful? Oh boy..., I thought. "The king is dying, and...", Abbott gulped, "Herobrine kidnapped the prince."

Suddenly, everyone started to panic. Screams of fear and anger filled my ear, "Silence!", Abbott yelled. Everyone went into total silence, and Abbott waited before he continued. "This is a complete shock, but we must do something to rescue the prince, or else there won't be an heir to the throne and Herobrine will take over.", Abbott said boldly. "But how? None of us are capable of fighting him.", a man yelled. That's when I knew that I had to help, if no one was willing to do it, then I will. I jumped up out of my seat, "But I'm capable of fighting! I'll go rescue the prince!", I shouted bravely. Suddenly everyone laughed except for George, Coco, Goban and Father Abbott. "You? You can fight, girly? Don't make me laugh!", yelled a man. "You're better off cooking and farming with George!", a woman yelled. "At least she has the will and courage to step up to the plate, when the county is in need of a hero!", Goban yelled angrily.

The man snickered, "Oh, so she be training in secret? That's the most stupidest thing a girl ever-", the man didn't finish his sentence when George and Coco punched his face. "Talk about Bluebell like that again, you'll earn other punch.", Coco replied with a mad, but deadly, expression. The man back off in fear, "Bluebell, do you really think you're ready for this quest? It's very dangerous, and you might need some weapons from the End to defeat Herobrine.", Abbott said worriedly. I smirked, "Of course I am, I'm going to gather some other people willing enough to help me.", I replied with total confidence, "After all, I can't do stuff on my own, or it'll take too long. Right George?".

I looked at George, and he nodded in agreement, "It's easier to have someone to help you, then to do it alone.", George said smiling. Abbott nodded, "Then it's decided, Bluebell will go and rescue the prince.", Abbott said. Goban smiled, "I'll get Rasui for you, Bluebell.", Goban said as he left the church. I left as well, to return home, and get ready for my journey across Xipil.
