“First of all. We need to gather the three major forces of Minecraftia. King Nebris, Emperor Doc, and Monarch BdoubleO.” The guards nodded as Zisteau and Kurt explained the plan. “So first we have to get to the Empire Creeporious.” “If I remember correctly,” said Baj pointing to the forest. “It’s through the forest over yonder.” Kurt nodded before whistling. A ball of fur barreled out from the shrubbery causing Pause to jump into my arms. I let my arms go slack dropping Pause and snickering to myself as I heard a quiet oomph. The fur shook revealing a large canine. “This is Wolfie, my faithful canine companion.” They nodded and set off into the forest.

“Blame you are amazing.” I looked at Vechs who was sitting on his throne replaying the video of King Guude dying in his mind. I rolled my eyes before saying, “Your Highness shall we plan another attack?” Vechs shook his head. “Give them time. I like toying with people as you know Blame.” I nodded before standing still again casting glances at my liege who was still giggling insanely to himself. I sighed fixing my coat before giving in to the stillness of the quiet castle.
Kurt
I watched as Zisteau mumbled to himself about Vechs. He seemed fearful of the man and that made me even more afraid. I held my palm out as a flame licked my fingers giving off enough light to go by. The guards trailed closely behind but gave Wolfie enough leeway to walk. I would chuckle to myself when Pause erupted in a sudden scream caused by him walking too fast making Wolfie growl. “Wolfie isn’t very fond of you Mr. Unpause.” Pause shook his head at me causing me to laugh. As Pause started relaxing again Baj went behind him and barked loudly causing the group to have a chorus of laughter after Pause shrieked. “I hate you guys.” Beef could only chuckle. I admired him. The sparkle never left his eyes giving off a scent of mischief. He was always light-hearted and funny. I shook those thoughts away wondering what Zisteau would think if I had those feelings for another man.
Etho
I watched as the others mercilessly teased Pause. When Baj barked I couldn’t contain my laughter anymore until Kurt’s flame diminished and the world around them plunged into darkness. “Whoops. Got too distracted there.” He chuckled before snapping. Nothing. A few more snaps and still nothing. Panic started in his voice, “Um, Sir?” Zisteau frowned snapping. “My magic won’t work either.” Everyone searched their bags for something to give them light. Nothing. Pause whined and hugged me before I pushed him away. “We can do this I see light ahead.” I started moving towards the light tripping over the occasional root. I cursed when I fell on my face from an ‘accidental trip’. I could hear the others snickering behind me as I wiped dirt away. My red eye flared giving off a small burst of light. “Children.” As we stepped from the bushes we were met with blazing moonlight reflecting off emerald pillars. “This must be it.” said Kurt as he averted his eyes walking forward. Everyone followed and soon we were standing in an abandoned town square. Ahead stood the most grandiose palace I had ever seen.
Doc
I sat on my throne when the group came in. My guards stood quickly posing spears towards them. Upon seeing Tsar Zisteau I relaxed calling off the guards. “Good evening Tsar and friends. What brings you to the empire?” “Some panic has arisen since King Guude died. These are the four personal guards.” Zisteau motioned towards the four men holding weapons. “We need to call meeting with the other two leaders.” said Kurt. I pondered this before remembering, “The others are on classified missions. I could probably get a hold of them but the connection will be faulty.” Zisteau nodded stepping towards the platform with some magic gubbins. He waved a hand and a screen appeared showing two men. “Leaders. A problem has arisen. Meet us in Creeporious ASAP.” “Z...steau….can’t…..right…….now. M..t...fin..sh.” Zisteau stared frantically at the screen. “This is no time for argument you are coming to the empire whether the mission is complete or not!” The figures nodded before disappearing. “We can only wait.”
