Legends Of Minecraftia, Book 1, The Return

Chapter 9

Third Person

He watched as a White pack gathered along the outskirts of the Dark Forest, growling and snarling at their prey.

He didn't usually watch the hunts, and his close friend wondered why he chose to this time...

"Sire, I don't understand, why go through all the trouble to open a nether portal just to watch Whites?" the Piglin said, rubbing his snout.

The dark-winged figure, only turned his head a small bit as he kept his eyes on a cave, not far from the forest.

"That White pack happens to belong to the Bloodline," says the shadow. The Piglin tilted his head in confusion, only pausing from sharpening his sword only for a second.

"The Bloodline is a skeleton clan, one of the most powerful rulers above ground," says the shadow, remembering that the Nether people didn't know much about the Overworld.

"The one clan we need to take down."

The Piglin looked up, knowing his army was not ready to face another clan. They had already killed every last pigman they could find and now deemed extinct. Except for his daughter.

He remembered about a month ago, they had destroyed a pigman village, sending the nether brick villages into the lava and pillaging for supplies.

All that remained were small floating pieces of pork and golden nuggets, which they happily took.

The Nether didn't have much food, mostly nether warts, and if they were able to, ghast meat.

"Sire, my army needs to rest, a week should suffice," Chief Bijeon said, hoping he had not angered his king.

"Fine, but send scouts, so we don't lose track of them and find out what the Bloodline is hunting," The king says, spreading his wings and disappearing.

The Piglin sighed, looking back toward the forest. Hopefully, his scouts can manage.

No one's POV

Arrows rained down from the top of the trees, and the pounding of deadly Whites ran through the forest, chasing our heroes across the Dark Forest, where many monsters dwelled in tyranny.

Before we continue, I must tell you the state the land is in.

You see, the Dark Forest was ruled by a Player named PopularMMos and his friend GamingWithJen, who were fair rulers, who protected their land.

But one day, they left it, and a new king came and took the throne.

His name was DreadLord.

He established the law no players were allowed in the Dark Forest, and Blockheads were to be slain on sight.

Many of the monsters traded with the players for helmets and tools, since they couldn't make the tools themselves.

Once the law was in place, they all panicked, since no income or products were made anymore.

This led many monsters who were strong enough to rebel against this ruler.

Instead of backing down, DreadLord sent his Wither Skeleton armies, something the OverWorld hasn't seen in centuries and were the stuff of legend.

The monsters did not back down and formed clans, these were the five main clans. Ravens, WhitePack, Questers, Merchants, and Bloodline.

Talion was the leader of the Bloodline, which protected the innocents and civilians fromDreadLords army.

The Ravens were loyal to Dreadlord and were the largest clan of them all. The White pack was all the Whites the other clans threw out, they formed the most powerful clan.

Questers were skeletons that went on missions and quests if they were paid enough.

Merchants went out of the Dark Forest in secret and ought essentials for their people and would sell things.

Which leads to today.

When the Ravens have killed many of the Merchants and are waging war on the Bloodline.

Now I will let you get back to your story-

"FBI OPEN UP"

Goodbye

Averys POV

I ran out of fear, trying to stay near Zack, as he tried to keep under cover of shade.

The rising dawn only immobilized us, and the skeletons were faster, knowing this forest better than us.

Suddenly a high pitched screech pierced through the growls. We letup a bit and look back.

The mountain of Harmony stood by the Dark Forest, said to contain the ancient Ender and Nether portals.

I never saw the Ender, but I heard its where my people come from. I never saw my people either...

In a cave that gaped open, held strange creatures, the color of a withered plant and snouts like pigs.

They wore metal and leather armor and had crossbows ready with arrows on fire.

The fire illuminated their faces, their eyes looked hungry for battle, and they all looked at one pig creature more...hefty than the others, who had a golden shield and rode a giant beast that dug at the stony surface.

A skeleton was posted up by a tree, holding its bleeding shoulder and whimpering.

The other whites were stuck at the edge of the forest, calling to the poor thing. The pig looked at me and widened its eyes.

It pointed its sharp golden sword at me, and its stead squealed loudly. The pigs uttered a deep war cry and started down the mountain.

I looked back at the injured skeleton, who looked up at the cave with terror in its red eyes.

"Stay here!" I told Zack and the Blockheads. "Ave! NO," Zack shouted, trying to grab my arm. I teleport quickly.

Im suddenly standing in front of the skeleton, who looks up at me in awe and pain. I gently catch her arm and teleport to the outline of the forest.

I had closed my eyes, knowing I teleported in the middle of the skeleton pack. I was terrified of skeletons and never got over it.

"Thank you," somebody says quietly. I hear a rustle of the dark oak leaves and soft, rapid footsteps.

I open my eyes and look up, they had all disappeared.

I hear heavy footsteps and a shout.

"AVERY, WHERE ARE YOU?"

I looked to the side and saw Zack crash through the ferns. "Ave!" he says, coming to my side. I realized I was shaking. "What happened? are you okay?" he asks. "I-Im fine," I say softly, my voice cracking.

Zack turns his head, hearing the far off footsteps of the Blockheads. "It's okay, we are safe..." he says, trailing off and turning his head towards a new sound.

"Are you sure?" A gruff voice says.

Deepthroated laughter echoes through the forest.
