He ran until he found an out of the way place, hopefully a small
shelter that would let him catch his breath. He sat down and folded
his legs up to his chest and bit his lip. Just like they said...
Weak and useless, always running away from his problems. All he was
good at was running... Should he try and put on armor that was
always to big and fight, or sit back in safety and watch this all
happen?
It seemed that at first Nick had the upper hand and just let the
pigman just keep bringing the house down until it colapsed on
itself and the pigman as well. With it seemingly defeated something
caught his eye. A scroll? He picked it up and just started to
unferal it when the pigman suddenly remerged from the rubble and
with the mace knocked Nick into the side of the portal before
bringing the mace down upon Nick, the force of the iron brouht down
upon killed him instantly.
Willow for a moment felt her arms go limp in shock as her mind
numbly sturggled to porcess what had just happened, then with a cry
of angished fury used her irom sword to kill the remaining pigmen
that were blocking her path and shoved the distracted pigman into
the portal, even though only half of him was sticking out. She
looked at the portal for a moment in consusion before in
frusteration knocked one of the blocks on the side slightly out of
place, deactivating the portal and slaying the gaint pigman in a
single action.
With the portal now closed the fight was finaly over. Alex and Ali
rushed over to Willow's side as she futaily tried to revive him,
practicly screaming his name in rising tones of fear, sorrow, and
anger.
He slowly raised his head and looked towards the screaming, seeing
a portal and a small group of people. The instant he laid eyes upon
them, his gut twisted. He didn’t have to see Nick to know he was
dead. He had run off and just let him die, unable to do anything to
help. Guilt built up within him as his breathing grew harsher and
louder. The fight was over but the damage was done. Tears began to
form in his eyes as he looked at the chaos around them.
Several houses were in ruin and a few other villagers aside from
Nick had been killed. With heavy hearts the humans/villagers picked
up the fallen and walked a ways to their burial grounds to bury the
dead.
For Will, Alex and Ali; they hadn't just lost their mentor, but
also a friend and their adoptive father. For as long as the three
could remember they had grown under his care as no one else wanted
the three girls when they had found in the wild. Under his care
Will and Alex had trained well, Ali had only started her training,
now she would never finish.
As dawn's light came and the sun rose Will was the first back to
the house and shut herself away in her room. She was conflicting
with too many emotions to handle at once so she just buried her
face in her pillow and attempted to summon the feeling of greive
and loss, but when she was unable to the child in her howled at the
unfairness of it.
As Alex took a shuckle chest with Nick's belongings that had been
ordered to be givin to them in his will and started home. Ali had
noticed the scroll in Nick's hand, so she took it and pocketed it
before following Alex.
Luke is sad. Another monster attack. When would the attacks stop.
He goes outside and starts to rebuild the houses with some wood and
stone that he crafted. He thinks he heard something, but ignores
it, thinking that it was his mind playing tricks on him.
Fable had never had anyone close to him in the village, so he had
no one to grieve for. No one at school cared about him and he had
long forgotten his parents. He decided to see if anyone was close
to Nick and talk to them. He got up and wiped his tears away, then
proceeded to roam the village in search of any of Nick’s family.
Kurai Tamashi woke up from his slumber and stood up. He searches
through his chest for... There. He grabs his sword and opens his
map. He had seen a wandering villager a while ago and he had given
Tamashi this map. Tamashi had never used it until now, so he began
to head in the way the map pointed. It appeared to lead to a
village of sorts, but it looked different than the ones he's used
to. As he approached it, he walks across the damaged bridge and
looks around. A battle had happened here. "What happened to
everyone?" he mutters to himself.
Luke finished rebuilding a house. He should probably get back to
his work. He takes a pickaxe and starts mining for some more
redstone. He went past the bridge, which was pretty much broken. He
ignores the other person, thinking they might attack him with their
sword.
Tamashi notices a man walking past him on the bridge and stops.
"Hey," he calls out. "What happened here?" The man seemed to be in
a rush to get past him, probably because of the enchanted netherite
sword, so he popped it into his inventory.
Alex looked up adn saw Luke run past a man, she frowned a bit,
she'd never seen him before. "Ali, stay close to me." She whispered
quietly and Ali girpped Alex's skirt hemn.
Luke looks up at the guy. "You don't know about this place?" he
asks, pointing at the village. "You know, the one where monsters
attack us about once or twice a week." He is confused. Was this an
outsider? "I have to go get redstone for my new machines. Talk to
others if you want to find more." he says as he takes out a bow and
goes beyond the bridge.
"Okay then," Tamash says as the man ran past him. He turns and
heads across the bridge again, and sees the woman and a small one
standing by a building. "Hey!" he calls out, running towards them.
Luke is in a mine that he created that connects to other mines. He
learned each geographical location of ores and found most of them.
He just needed to find emeralds, one of the rarest ores. He starts
diggin in a direction that they should be in.
Luke comes up from the mines, as he has failed yet again to get
some emerald. He takes out his axe and goes to chop down some wood
from the trees. He gets some wood and heads back to the main
village.
Holly silently crept along the bushes. She found a sheep. "Sorry
fluffy one." she murmurs as she shoots it. "Wool and meat." she
says, putting the stuff into her inventory. She began to head back.
"I need a new bow." she notes. "Lets hope someone has string." she
says.
Luke walks past Tamashi and goes past Ali and Alex. He felt bad for
them, seeing them loose their adoptie father he pats them on the
back trying to make them feel better. "I am so sorry that this
happened to you guys." he says, trying to comfort them.
