We’ll manage Steve said and held up a map and compass Count on it Steve was like my mentor and big brother at the same time Now he was leaving Maybe he found this existence too depressing and had to try to get away However when he rode over to me I saw only hope in his shiny square eyes I don’t know what’s happening Runt Every day I wake up hoping to find that this is all a dream just like Herobrine said But I know it’s not We’re here for a reason I’ve got to help out But the village needs you I said You humans are much more creative than us He shook his head You may not see it but you’re just as good as we are when it comes to defending this place Hurrrm Plus there’s another reason why we’re going Mike said They might have more knowledge about crafting We’ll try to bring back some new toys Toys You mean new items You’ll give me one right Well yeah um sure Of course Promise Super promise Hurrr Okay Deal
With that my otherworldly friends took off They were the ones who had shown us that the mobs could be fought Without them we would have suffered the same fate as so many other villages out there I imagined the endless wilderness outside of our walls Plains and forests and rolling hills as far as the eye can see Littered with the remnants of our kind They’ll be traveling through that for a long time Whatever That’s their decision Two months ago I would have dwelt on it gotten angry and sad But I’m a new me now A future captain hopefully I can’t be whining and raging all the time They can go on their little adventure Meanwhile Team Runt will be relaxing in the coolest place in Villagetown will be relaxing in the coolest place in Villagetown Party at the pool SPLASHH For the first time in her life Breeze was beginning to have fun Breeze was beginning to have fun
After the celebration we went to the pool The mobs wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon and we totally needed a break The builders made this area underground It used to be a giant cavern the miners had cleared out The main attraction is the heated water There’s a small lava pool bubbling underneath the floor that heats it perpetually From what the humans have told me the game version of our world doesn’t simulate temperature beyond melting snow and ice The real world isn’t so forgiving Try spending a night in a tundra biome You’ll be throwing down a furnace real quick We changed into our swimming suits and jumped in We agreed to play Creeper’s Revenge one of our favorite games It’s where a single cat must avoid the splashes of the many creepers as they dive in over and over You’re probably wondering how we decide teams After someone shouts Go the last one to call out Boom is the first to be the cat Go Boom Boom Boom Breeze glanced at the three of us Boom She’d obviously never played this before We all turned to Emerald
Looks like you’re the cat Stump said However Emerald didn’t respond She was still standing on the edge of the shallow side staring absently into the water into the water So an enderman from the start I knew it So Breeze was happy and Emerald was sad What next At this rate Herobrine will teleport into our village and give everyone milk and cookies I swam over to her Something bothering you
