SATURDAY AFTERNOON My mind was a water block in the Nether One second it was there and then with just a little puff of smoke gone poof a little wisp poof a little wisp First of all the five best students would become captains meaning they’d have their own squad to command As if that wasn’t crazy enough Drill admitted that we might someday actually attack Herobrine’s castle how could we I just don’t get it Everyone around me was equally flabbergasted Silence grew into murmurs panicked voices and questions questions a whole lot of questions The most common question being Mayor sir is it really true Alone up on the platform the mayor sighed again Yes it’s true It’s something we’ve been considering anyway Now if you’ll all just quiet down But they didn’t quiet down Not at all It was madness Madness Total chaos Madness Total chaos
Everyone was shouting at once swarming the platform asking the mayor an endless stream of questions Then an old man got so angry he looked to the sky and started screaming at the top of his lungs I have no idea what his problem was Emerald said it better than I ever could although I could barely hear her over the constant roar Um did I hear that right Not to rain on anyone’s enderman party here but um this is the worst news yet Clearly Drill was talking about a different Herobrine I mean let’s face it There’s no way he meant the Herobrine who sends out streams of lightning like a dispenser firing arrows turns people into rabbits with the snap of his fingers and oh has entire legions of super-powerful mobs under his control Yeah they can’t be serious about attacking Max said Knowing Herobrine his castle probably doesn’t even have gates or an entrance of any kind Come to think of it do they even know where his castle is located I’ve found nothing on this even after days and days of research He nudged me Speaking of which are you ready to help me crack the books tomorrow buddy boy Breeze commented with as few words as possible as usual It’s like my home village all over again Weirdly Stump seemed a bit happy about this news This means I can slack off now I don’t care if I’m a captain as long as I’m crushing zombies with you
Kolbert too was rather upbeat You villagers don’t need captains He boomed Path of the Diamond How about Path of the Slain Zombies For that is what I Kolbert of Terraria will leave behind on my way to Herobrine’s castle A couple other humans looked at him strangely Terraria He shrugged What That’s what these people call Earth Noobs He was telling the truth I only use Earth because I learned that word from Steve Another thing to consider What if I somehow fail to become a captain If that happens well knowing my luck I’d be placed under Pebble’s command I’d have to do whatever he tells me to do I can only imagine how well that might turn out Don’t sulk Carrying lava buckets is Carrying lava buckets is super important You never super important You never know when the zombies know when the zombies could attack again right could attack again right Hey Let’s not spill it Hey Let’s not spill it everywhere okay everywhere okay
If I thought my life at school was bad FAREWELL FAREWELL As the crowd grew louder and louder pressing the mayor for answers something happened that nobody expected Steve appeared with Mike at his side That wasn’t so strange in itself but they were riding horses I hadn’t talked to them in a few days Last I’d heard they’d been working overtime on redstone contraptions The sight of those two as they approached the mayor’s platform riding saddled mounts caused the crowd to quiet down If I may say one thing Steve said Perhaps you should send messengers to the other villages If you really are planning an attack in the future you’ll need all the help you can get The mayor nodded gaze lowered seemingly deep in thought then nodded again An excellent plan to be sure But we must assume that Herobrine’s forces are everywhere Such a long journey would be exceedingly dangerous even on horseback Don’t worry about us Mike said It’s not like we’ve ever failed you before Again the mayor nodded Indeed and I suspect you never will Very well Shall I send a guide to accompany you
