Revenge of the Past

"Leave of Absences"

999 Years Later

3rd Person POV with Addie

Addie was in her library studying a book on hostile mob behaviors when she heard a whispering noise coming from the codebook, as she decided to call it after finding out what it truly did. She took it down from her bookshelf and saw that it was faintly glowing a wispy purple and, almost instinctively, she knew what the whispers were telling her.

Packing up a backpack with everything she would need for the journey, Addie left a note on her book piled desk to tell anyone who would enter her home what she was going to do.

Strapping on her pack, she looked down to her puppy, Ivy, as she snuggled in her bed with her chew toy and a, too big, crown made from vines and flowers she had found around Beacontown, sitting crookedly on her head. After petting her a few times, Addie snuck out of her home, without disturbing Ivy, and shifted into her Elytra form, gazing down on Beacontown one last time before shooting off into the night.

3rd Person POV in Beacontown

"Hey guys!" Jesse waved to a group of workers carrying blocks of shaved wood to the new houses that were under construction and they waved back. Normally, when walking through town, she'd be accompanied by Reuben and Lluna, but they had gone to go visit Benedict for a while.

"Mornin', nice day huh?".

"Sure is."

"Hey Jess!" Lukas came running up to Jesse with a book and quill in hand as they neared the entrance to the mines.

"Lukas! How're the book orders going?"

"Awesome, I'm glad I could deliver my books to the people myself, it's really cool to hear what they think of my writing." Lukas smiled at Jesse and was about to give her a kiss on the cheek when,

"Gangway!" A loud shout was heard before a group of uniformed miners came running out from the mines, dropping their pickaxes on the ground in the rush.

Right behind them, Sadie and Jack came out from the mine entrance, weapons raised, to kill off the last of the cave spiders that followed them out from the mines. Slicing through them with ease, Sadie and Jack finished off the cave spiders in ten seconds flat.

"Phew, that was a close call." Sadie dusted off her teal and black armor before sheathing her enchanted diamond sword.

"You're telling me," Jack responded as he picked up the spiders' eyes that were dropped, "Those cave slider came out of nowhere. Ok technically they came out of that dungeon, but it was still unseen until they started coming after us."

"What happened here?" Jesse asked worriedly as she and Lukas ran up to the two Mine Guard members and Lukas rapidly pulled out his bow to shoot one last cave spider that was trying to sneak up on the two Mine Guard members.

"A run through the mines to look for Redstone went a little south." Sadie answered as she gritted her teeth and hissed in pain at the nick in her arm from one of the spiders gave her.

"You should go drink some milk, I'll handle the miners' injuries." Jack told Sadie as her face paled a bit and she clutched her arm in pain.

"Find Stacy and Stampy, they usually go to the animal shelter to give milk to the cats around this time." Jesse suggested and Sadie nodded in response as she clutched her arm tighter in pain and went to the animal shelter.

"Where's the rest of the Mine Guard?" Lukas asked Jack before they went to tend to the miners' injuries, that mostly consisted of scrapes and bruises.
