The next morning when I wake up, FuriousDestroyer is nowhere in sight. His "bed" is empty. I stand up and look around. I see the large shiny pink hoe propped up against a tree a few steps away. I look down and see that I'm in the same pink dress I was wearing the day chaos struck. The only change to the dress is now the dress is tattered and dirty. Some of the color has faded away so the dress is no longer bright pink but now a pale pink. I hear something behind me. I turn around and see FuriousDestroyer (still in his pristine enchanted armor). I sit down on the log he was on last night. He sits down on the other end.

    "Are you hungry?"

    "Yes. A bit."

    He pulls out a plate with some sort of berry pie on it. He hands it to me.

    "Thank you."

    The pie is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. It's a lot more filling than I expected. I hand the plate back. Now that I'm less groggy, I notice that FuriousDestroyer's voice sounds like it's been manipulated. It just doesn't sound human.

    "I know you have questions but you need a bath first. There's a stream west of here where you can take a bath."

    He hands me a fluffy pink towel. I head off to the west. Soon I see the stream. I wash all my clothes and take the fastest bath I can manage just in case. FuriousDestroyer might stalk me. And the water is freezing. I run back to camp. FuriousDestroyer is sitting in the same place he was a few minutes ago. I sit down next to him.

    "Please tell me what's going on."

    "Those monsters you saw yesterday were not from a normal mod. They came from the most horrid mod of them all. Orespawn. No one knows who's been unleashing the monsters of Orespawn since the monsters of Orespawn are banned even in the village of Modded Minecraft."

    "Why would they come for my village?"

    "They didn't come for your village. They came for the Pink Paulyak Hoe. Your village was just collateral damage. The Pink Paulyak Hoe is one of the strongest weapons in the land. Your mother was it's original wielder. Then it was passed to you."

    "Why me then?"

"You are the only person that has the power to wield the hoe. You did not choose the hoe. The hoe chose you. Now you're going to help me slay whoever is coming for the hoe. I will train you to wield this weapon. I will protect you, too. No matter what."

"How did you even know Mama Big Bertha?"

"I too wield one of the most powerful weapons in the land. The Furious Blades. A long time ago, the first wielders of the most powerful weapons in the land fought together and formed a group to keep peace in the land. Not to long ago the group disbanded. Why they disbanded remains a mystery to this day. But it is a coincidence that the day after they disbanded, the Mod War started. Once you accept the hoe, you will be linked to me and the wielders of the other five weapons."

"Linked to the hoe?"

"The hoe may have chosen you already but you have not accepted the hoe. You will know when you have accepted the hoe. The other wielders will know as well."

"Why would someone be coming for the weapons?"

"I don't know. Only the original wielders know what kind of real power the weapons have. They are the ones who made them. Who knows what could happen if all the weapons are in one place."

"Why is my hoe the first one they're coming for if there are six other weapons?"

"Don't take this as an insult but the Pink Paulyak Hoe is the weakest out of all seven weapons."

"Oh..."

"It's still very very powerful though."

"So how powerful are your weapons then?"
    " ... "

"Oh is that one of those question you're not supposed to ask? Like 'when are you due?' or 'how much do you weigh?'."

"Yes."

"I uh... sorry."

"It's fine. We better be going though. We can't stay in one place for long. There's one place where we'll be safe. In the village of PopularMMOs, my sister Minerva has a house there. She's actually the wielder of the Ultimate Sword. It's only a two day walk from here."

"What other weapons are there?"

"Pack up first. We can talk on the way there."

I fold up my makeshift bed and tie it around the Pink Paulyak Hoe. I tie up the pink bow that was attached to the fishing rod Bob gave me for my birthday into my mess of brown hair. We start walking to the north towards the village. FuriousDestroyer offered to carry my stuff for me. The hoe is really heavy so I let him carry it.

"So what are the other weapons?"

"There's the Pink Paulyak Hoe, the Furious Blades, the Ultimate Sword, the Ultimate Bow, the Royal Guardian Sword, the Big Bertha Sword, and the Protector's Staff."

"Why isn't the Big Bertha Sword my Mama Big Bertha's?"

"Your Mama Big Bertha was nicknamed after Big Bertha because she looks like the maker of the Big Bertha Sword. Big Bertha. Not because she wielded the Big Bertha Sword."

"Who wields all the weapons now?"

"You wield the Pink Paulyak Hoe, I wield the Furious Blades, Minerva wields the Ultimate Sword, Hunter wields the Ultimate Bow, ScarletWolf27 wields the Royal Guardian Sword, Big James wields the Big Bertha Sword, and Lucinda wields the Protector's Staff."

"Will I ever meet them?"

"It depends on the circumstances."

We stay silent the rest of the way there. After a few hours, my legs start cramping and I'm breathing really hard. FuriousDestroyer stops.

"Are you okay?"

"No... can we take a break?"

"No. We have to keep going. I can carry you."

"Sure..."

FuriousDestroyer gives me a piggy-back ride. I take a nap on him. His armor is not comfortable by the way.

The time I wake up, FuriousDestroyer has set up another bivouac that looks exactly like the last one. I see that he has propped me up on a tree and covered me with my new "bed". He's standing next to the fire feeding it more dry branches. I realize that I'm freezing cold. I stand up and sit down next to the fire. He sits down next to me.

I stare into the fire. All I can see is my mother's dead body. All the people who died. Bob too. All because of me and this weapon. I've been in shock for so long trying to take all this in. I guess I never really thought about any of it until now. Sitting in front of an open fire with a strange man that I know nothing about. I try holding back my tears but I can't. Before I know what I'm doing, I start uncontrollable crying. I try to stop but I can't. My life will never be the same again.

I stop trying to stop crying. I can feel FuriousDestroyer staring at me. I feel a heavy hand on my back. I look up at FuriousDestroyer's cold emotionless helm. I look down again and continue crying. I feel so embarrassed. I wonder if he feels the same.

At some point in time, I run out of tears. My dress is drenched. I'm so embarrassed that I head straight to my makeshift bed without eating. I lay there until my hunger lulls me to sleep.
