I felt dazed. The mirror somehow transported me home. It had to be magical or something of the sort. I looked around to find there was someone dressed up exactly like cody had made a new wooden home, complete with interior and exterior decorations. It was a three roomed house, a kitchen, living quarters and a dark, unfurnished room. From the outside the house had beautiful ,wild flowers growing by the door of the house. The flowers were tamed by a sturdy, refined wooden fence. The fence itself had little bits of silver intervening with the wood, making a grand pattern that scattered along the entire fence.

The man approached me, stuck out his hand and said, " hello friend, I'm sure we will get along. I built us this house and left you a room to yourself. " I was so confused, but he probably saw my confusion and said, " where are my manners, my name is Seth. Do come in." He motioned me towards the house. I followed him up to the unfurnished room. He told me that this was my room and he didn't furnish it because he didn't know how I liked things. In the corner was a heep of things that he kindly set up for me.

After finally clearing up my room I stood in the centre of my room and smiled enviously at my own work. I had my bed in the corner to my right. The bed itself was a frame made with wood and some cloth stuffed with a mixture of hay, wool and feathers. Beside my bed was a standard 2 drawers on the top and one long one at the bottom. On the left side of my room was a stool and a bench I would be making most of my equipment with. Next to the bench was a old fashioned stove that could boil up to 5,000,000 C. The furnace, I decided, would be used for smelting metals with high melting points Such as: gold, platinum lithium etc. Behind me was a door and a chest to keep bigger items or things I know I would need like weapons and armour.

I sat down at the furnace and began work with the lead I had found in the cave ( also Seth was kind enough to give me a few lead bars.) first I smelted all of my ore into bars. I had 42 bars total. After 3 days of smelting, checking the proportions and then re melting it to do it again, I had finally got a perfectly sharp lead blade that could slice through the zombies quickly and efficiently, A slightly curved pickaxe, the curve was so it was easier to swing and also so it wouldn't be mistaken for a sword, an axe that was sharpened to the point where it only took around 10 swings to the usual 28. Finally I had souled boots that had a rough bottom and were slightly pointed at the slides to increase speed as much as possible.

Just then I felt something evil, gazing upon me. Yet this was no ordinary, evil it felt stronger than the foes I had already faced. The pit in my stomach grew deeper with every passing moment.
