3 sunrises had passed since the spirit, Silver knight gave me my prophecy. I didn't read the glowing book yet so, I didn't know who was Herobrine yet. Today we were going to the chicken coop too feed the chickens. "Today's a beautiful day!" Cotton Tiger exclaimed.

It was a beautiful day. There was few clouds in the sky and the leaves of the trees grown in Cotton Tiger's garden were swaying in the light morning breeze. The air smelled of the flowers grown wild in the plains. Every thing looked so perfect, so peaceful. The cows mooed and the cats and dog barked and meowed. "Meow! Woof, woof!"

Cotton Tiger and I went to the chicken coop area. The sound of chickens being slayed and the quick swooshing of the sword was suspicious."Bawk, bawk, bawk!"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Cotton Tiger and I went to investigate the noise. When we arrived at the scene, there was a stranger slaying our chickens. OUR chickens. "Hey, stop slaying our chickens." I said to the  stranger.

The stranger looked up. My mouth dropped open. The stranger was a boy! The boy dropped his wooden sword he was holding to slay the chickens. "Clank!"

I knew that he was a starter because of the wooden sword. I also knew because of the mess on the floor of the chicken coop. An experienced person wouldn't have a wooden sword or make a mess on the floor where he or she killed an animal. "I thought this light house was abandoned!" the boy stammered. 

"It is not abandoned, now you know!" Cotton Tiger exclaimed.

"Sorree." the boy stammered. "My name is Steve and what's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Alex and this Cotton Candy Tigeress." I said. 

"And you can call me Cotton Tiger or Cotton. " My BFF said. 

Steve nodded. "You see, I don't know..."

"How you got here?" I asked gently. 

Steve nodded. "I woke up next to a sunflower patch. I saw a watch tower near by. So, I walked to the watch tower. The watch tower was actually a village watch tower. They let me stay for a night. But, after the week I came, another guy came. His name was Justin. The village adored him because he build a wall to keep out the hostile mobs and a deep pit so the hostile mobs don't just wander into the village. In ONE day! All the villagers got mad at me because I didn't do any thing except stay out and slay the monsters and craft iron golems to make them slay the monsters and protect the villagers. Justin killed the golems I crafted because he was bragging that his golems were much, much, much more better then my hard working golems. The villagers agreed and kicked me out. I saw some trees so, I punched them I got the wood and made a crafting table. Then, I made a wooden sword. Then, I saw a light from the sky. I ran towards it. I couldn't reach there in time so, I slept on the grass. In the morning, I ran here and you know."

"How about you stay at the light house with us?" I suggested.

Steve nodded and I said, "Did you looked in your backpack?

"Backpack?" Steve asked. 

"Didn't you look at your back?" I said teasingly. 

Steve looked at his back. Then he pulled of his backpack and rummaged through it. He took out a cookie and ate it quickly. I knew he was very hungry. The sun was setting. We had talked the whole day. I closed the chicken coop gate and lit the torches in the chicken coop. Then, we  walked to the light house.
