After Herobrine had gone off, leaving the enchanted sword laying on the floor in front of me. I really didn't know if I should hold that sword. I could go get Kie and ask him to take a look at it.

With that idea in mind I walked back up to our temporary tree house. Once I got to the top, Myles was placing down a number of furnaces in the corner and then proceeded to place coal and meat in them.

I cleared my throat and Myles looked up,"Hey Jay, you alright?" He asked me with a smile. I nodded with a half hearted smile.

"Have you seen Kieran?", I asked and he frowned for a split second and then smiled again," Yes, he said he was going out to see if there's another plains biome"

"Oh okay, thank you", I replied, ignoring his frown. Well now I've got to just hang around until Kie gets back. Great. Not knowing quite what to do with myself I decided to go back down to the sword Herobrine had left.

It was still laying on the ground, untouched and still shining. I began walking underneath trees looking for a fairly long stick to prod the sword with, I mean, if the sword had a Fire Aspect enchantment then the stick should catch on fire.

Then I could go looking for other materials to find out what enchantments it had like a leaf for Sharpness and I could throw a small rock at the sword to test if it had any Knockback.

After finding a stick, a few leaves that were still green and a couple of small stones I went back to the sword. I placed all the materials on the floor, picking the stick back up and crawling on all fours towards the sword.

Closing one eye, I leant my arm out which held the stick and gave the sword a prod with it.

Nothing.

Nothing happened.

Huh so the sword has no Fire Aspect. I thought most good swords would have Fire Aspect because it deals damage to the target if they try running away.

Alright, next material; Leaf.

Crawling back over to my little pile of stones and leaves I chucked the stick in to the forest and picked up the largest leaf.

I crawled back - my clothes are going to be so dirty after all this crawling through the grass and mud - and used my foot to turn the sword over by the handle and kept it there so the blade was vertical.

With both hands I held each end of the leaf and steadied my hands above before pressing the leaf against the blade lightly. It didn't slice through the leaf that very easily without applying more force.

I sighed and mentally crossed Sharpness off the list of possible enchantments.

Welp, I'll test Knockback and if it doesn't have Knockback I'm going to be so stumped. Those three enchantments are possibly the best for a sword unless Herobrine has somehow managed to enchant stuff on to it that isn't normal.

Knowing him, he most likely has.

Back at my pile I grabbed two small stones and sat crossed legged, tired of crawling. I held one stone and lifted my arm readying to throw the stone. I aimed and 'fired'.

The stone flew at the sword, missing it and landing only inches from it. I sighed tiredly and grabbed another stone, aimed and chucked it at the sword. This time it hit the sword buuuut it didn't bounce off.

"Ughhhh", I groaned and fell slowly backwards to lie on the grass, staring up at the sky. The sun was near midday and the temperature had risen slowly throughout the day.

It didn't feel like midday because it was still rather cold and clouds littered the sky.

Perhaps it'll storm tonight or something. My thoughts trailed back to the last time we had a storm, where we met Shannon who was now not on this server. No idea where she went.

" Jay, you okay? ", a concerned voice asked me. I sat up and turned my body round to see Kieran walking towards me with a sulky looking Dave following close behind.

" Yeah, I'm fine ", I replied standing up and brushing off most of the dirt that stuck to my shorts," Just uh-Oh! "

I suddenly remembered the sword," This sword here", I pointed behind me before continuing," Herobrine gave it to me but I didn't want to handle it because its been enchanted "

Kieran looked at me with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion, " What sword? "

Wait.

What?

" This sword... ", My voice trailed off as I turned round to see the sword still laying on the ground.

" Jay, there is no sword behind you ", This time Dave had looked up with a big amount of confusion present on his face.

I was baffled.

Completely baffled.

" B-but... It's right there... ", I stammered, feeling slightly dizzy all of a sudden.

Hi Jay.

Guess what?

I heard Matthews words echo in my head but the dizzy feeling was all I could think about, my surroundings beginning to spin as I heard Kieran's voice ask what was wrong.

Only you can see that sword.

Noone else.

I swear I could hear his amused laugh as my vision blackened and I fell unconscious.
