MineCraftians - Demons and Angels[ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

"You guys, I think we should go set up camp in that dungeon over there. We just have to destroy the spawner." Jason said, pointing at a mossy building in the distance.

"Okay, does anybody have torches in their backpacks?" William asked, looking at the other two.

They all checked in their backpacks, until Julia lifted up a stick and some chunks of coal.

"Here, you craft some torches. I'll go grab some wood." Julia explained, placing the materials in Jason's hands.

Without even an answer from the boys, she ran off to a nearby tree and started knocking the tree with her fist like it was a door. Blocks of oak wood popped into miniature, harvestable items. Julia picked them up, an oak sapling dropping onto her pile of wood. Walking unsteadily back to her brothers, their eyes widened at the amount of wood she was carrying.

"How are you so strong?" Jason stared.

"Oh, I've been running around in the backyard fending off those... Yeah, zombies! Never seen any of those green exploding things though!" Julia exclaimed in pride.

"Did mom and dad know about this?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, no... Please don't tell them!" Julia pleaded.

Jason and William glanced awkwardly at eachother.

"Let's just talk about this later." William said.

Jason got up and checked the durability runes on his enchanted sword.

"Julia, you can wait outside while we light up the dungeon room. William, you smash the spawner with the axe." Jason commanded.

"Is it just me, or are you always in charge during most situations?" William chuckled.

Julia saluted and picked up her bag.

"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!" She laughed.

Suddenly, a groan came from the darkness.

"Something heard us." William frowned, drawing out his axe.

"Jason! Behind you!" Julia shouted, picking up a wood block and throwing it at the zombie.

The block smacked the zombie in the head, drawing it's attention to the little girl. Jason took the chance and whacked the zombie a few times, as it vanished into a puff of white smoke.

"It's now or never, c'mon!" Jason whispered, beckoning the two over as he ran towards the mossy brick building.

-

Jason spun around slashing at zombies that soon puffed into white smoke, and finally, William smashed the spawner with his axe. Not the best plan, but they got a decent shelter for the night. Julia walked in holding a wood block in her hand, for some form of defense, the boys guessed. William lit up the dungeon and Julia made a door, checking if it was stable at first.

"We don't have any wool, there's no sheep around." Jason said, digging around in his bag.

"No beds tonight, I guess?" William asked.

"Eyup..." Julia replied, sitting down on the crafting table.

"I guess we'll just have to wait it out tonight." Jason sighed.

"So, what should we do tomorrow?" Julia asked, digging around in her backpack.

"We'll set out for the nearest village as early as possible. We can take shelter there, and then we'll see what's going on. It might lead us to mom and dad." Jason replied, pulling out his sword and sharpening it, scraping away the small dents from fights long before.

"I'm going to mine this wall and strip mine for some iron. Maybe I can make a sword." Julia said, pulling out a wooden pick she had crafted. (Strip-mining is mining, but mostly only occurs when there are no caves to be found, or it is too dangerous to go find one at the moment.)

"I'll go with you too, I have to find 3 diamonds to repair my axe." William added in, glancing down at his axe sadly.

"Okay, I'll stay here and keep guard." Jason replied, sheathing his glowing sword into its leather scabbard.

"See you later, then." William smiled, walking down the tunnel with Julia.

-

Jason was falling asleep, his dirty blonde hair pricking the mossy cobble wall as he lay his head on the stones.

Then, a snap woke him up. Jason's head shot up, as he grabbed his sword.

A shadowy figure stood outside, barely noticeable due to the darkness.

"Show yourself!" Jason shouted, raising his sword.

"You are not wise to do so." the voice cackled, black dragon wings erupting from its back. Slowly, a black, barbed tail slithered from its lower back, walking inside the dungeon.

Jason's eyes widened realizing what he had just done.

"You're a Voider." Jason realized.

"Oh, the little OverWorlder finally realizes who he has angered." the Voider cackled.

A Voider was a dragon hybrid, part human, part dragon. Its legs are black dragon legs, studded with white jewels and spikes. It had black dragon arms, also studded with jewels and spikes. They usually took the human form of a poor, begging child, but when you angered them, they were tough to defeat. Well, banish anyways. You can never truly defeat a Voider.

The Voider leapt at Jason, pinning him to the floor. Baring its fangs, it shook the cloak off. It was a black haired boy, with Amber eyes and faint freckles.

The Voider slashed at him with an iron axe, smoke sizzling into the air. MineCraftians didn't bleed. They were just like mobs, but they could RESPAWN if they wanted, or just move on as a spirit.

Just before the Voider threw a final blow, a wood block thunked the Voider's head.

"Hey there, little draggie!" Julia laughed, holding up a brand new iron sword.

William leaped at the Voider, tackling him off of Jason. Slashing at the Voider a couple times, it hissed and grew into a dragon.

"Right there!" Jason yelled, hurling his sword at the dragon's only unarmored spot. Its mouth.

The dungeon exploded from the size the dragon grew to, and the three quickly grabbed their backpacks and ran. Jason's sword must've struck its target, cause once it jabbed into the dragon's throat, it lit up in fire.

Fire Aspect 1 had kicked in. The Voider puffed into black smoke, and the sword hurled into the ground near Jason.

"It's not dead. You can never kill a Voider." William let out a soft groan.

Jason picked up his sword, frowning sadly at the durability.

"It's almost going to break." Jason said, running his hand on the cold hilt of his sword. It was hard to part with a sword he had used for so long. This was his first sword, and the first battle enchantment he had ever applied. He felt rather sad, for some reason.

"We should get going. There might be some iron swords in the village to repair your sword." William said, sheathing his axe.

"I'm scared, what if we find another Voider?" Julia trembled.

"Don't worry, we'll be here to protect you." Jason and William said, walking beside her, leaving the little girl in the middle.

"I can't be making promises though." William laughed.

Julia slapped him on the arm and he grinned.

"Just kidding, just kidding." William chuckled, as the three walked off to the mountains, where the village of Enami would thrive.
