Agent of Chaos

  Ah, that house just went up in flames, wasn't it beautiful?

  And boom! It blew up, even better.

  I adjusted the mask on my face, making sure it would be the last thing anyone who survived would see of me. I walked away, whistling as I did so. Whoops, did I drop some redstone?

  I casually flicked a level, and screams rang out again. I laughed, man, it was the best part of the job.

  I don't really like straight up killing people. Not like those Entity 303 or Herobrine guys. Bah! It is too quick, they all died without suffering. No, I like to do it the slow and fun way, with traumatic experiences. They may leave with their lives, but their dear minds would never be quite the same. Shame. None of them can really take it. But again, there are limits what the human mind can take before they snap. Man, I am only getting started, what I normally do is only the opening show, the main event is nowhere close to that. If their petty little minds would just last a little bit longer...ooh, fun.

  Shame that grumpy old Null wasn't here to see it, but he never really liked my spectacles anyway. Speaking of which, where is the old rascal? I hadn't seen him for months. Whatever, the idiot probably got himself killed. Well, he had it coming, being such a high-key moron.

  Not my problem though, he had to appear before the Minecraftians and scare the living heck out of them. No matter how many times I told him it was nonsensical, he still went ahead and did it. Dude, you gotta treasure every person you meet and scare the Nether out of them that they couldn't even emerge unscathed, or leave them babbling for months on end. At least, that was what I would have done instead of just playing hide and seek with them like he did.

  Right, where to next? Ah, Steve's castle.

  Sickly yellow particles engulfed my sight, before they disappeared a split second later, showing the castle in all its pathetic glory. I took a moment to steady myself, I always hated teleporting, that stunt made me dizzy.

  I walked along the streets of the town that surrounded Steve's castle, acting normal. Now, masks aren't that uncommon at all, so there isn't much that people should find me suspicious for.

  I flung a small, easily concealed blade at a villager, not even looking as he gurgled, his chest bright crimson with blood, missing his heart just by an inch.

  I afforded a small chuckle as the people swarmed over to the fallen villager. I snapped my fingers, and the blade returned to my sleeve once more, joining the others in the compartment. That experience would probably shock him for life.

  I walked on, setting a part of a fence on fire, a manical grin on my face as the sheep in the sheep pen ran out of the pen like bats out of hell, bleating as their woolly coat burned.

  Their owner shouted, but was too late to notice my existence, as he chased after his sheep," Dolly, Molly, Holly, come back here this instant!"

  I pulled a bucket of water from a nearby well, and splashed it on the floor in front of a few Minecraftians, causing them to trip and fall.

  "Jerk," one of them muttered as they saw me leaving. I grinned to myself.

  I flung two blades to each side, severing a couple lamps from their lampposts, causing them to crash to the ground, as the street went dark, and the people yelped as they tried to get as far away as possible.

  The blades returned to my sleaves, and I sensed movement behind me, but I was too late to dodge the blow. An armoured fist slammed into my back. Pain flared, but it was numb. There is much, much more pain that I myself can endure.

  I turned around slowly, to see a man in full iron armour, an iron sword strapped to his side, a guard by the looks of it," Hey! What do you think you are doing, causing chaos around the town?"

  "How is it your business, hmm?" I drawled," the chaos I have caused is my business alone."

  "Might I remind you, sir," his voice dripped with slight sarcasm," you put a knife in someone's chest, then kindly removed it, you burnt another's sheep pen, and you crashed two lamps to the ground. You are responsible for the damage and have to repair it."

  "Repair chaos?" I asked innocently. I spread my hands," Chaos exists only to spread. As his agent, I am doing my rightful job."

  "There is a guy called Chaos?" He raised an eyebrow.

  "Chaos has always been Chaos," I spread my hands," you don't know him? Well, that's a shame, isn't it? He is always around you, around all of us. Assessing, observing, whispering in our ears," I grinned," he is the stuff of your nightmares."

  "Stop saying gibberish!" He growled with impatience, drawing his sword and leveling it at my chest," Whoever you are, you will be responsible for repairing the damage."

  "Is that so?" I said cooly," I would tell you, guard," I leaned closer to him in a menacing way," You don't know Chaos, and you don't want to mess with him."

  At the speed of light, I flung a blade at his chest, again, narrowly missing his heart(damn, I am good at this), before with a flick of my hand, the bloodied blade flew back to my hand.

  The guard clutched his chest, his eyes filled with horror as his sword clattered to the ground, his strength waning rapidly due to the blood loss.

  "Who...who are you?" He trembled, gurgling on his own blood.

  "I am the agent of chaos," I said, looking at the surrounding crowd, as they gave me a wide berth, fear clearly written on their faces.

  I looked at the guard," But I can spare this small secret."

  I leaned towards his ear, in a volume that only he could hear," Name's Lick."

  Before he had the chance to say anything else, I already sent the blade through his belly. It came out  cleanly on the other side and flew back to my hand, as I turned to the crowd," Chase me, he dies, and you all get serious traumatic experiences." A grin appeared upon on my face, although I knew they couldn't see it," Shhh, this never happened."

  I stepped into the shadows, and when the sickly yellow particles engulfed my vision once more, I was already gone.

  Shhh, I was never here.
