mindcracklove | A Land Divided: Chapter 1

I started writing a fic based on Lords of Minecraft, and here's the first chapter! It's very short, as it's basically just a starting point right now? Can't promise that new chapters will be done quickly, as I'm not sure where I'm going with some of this yet. Hopefully I don't get stuck while writing. ._.

"Nope. Not good enough, Bitsy. Guess you'll just have to start over." Rob cackled as Roamin rejected the latest attempt at his statue, and Blame clenched his fists in frustration. He bit back his anger as he verbally replied, "Yes, Lord Roamin," and set to breaking the blocks so he could try again.

Blame was no stranger to menial labor, but this was becoming ridiculous. He was a Knight, not some Squire to be ordered around! He wasn't even Lord Roamin's Knight, but no, King Poose just had to tell the Lords that they could borrow his Knights while he was on vacation. He and Etho had been running around all week, and every time it seemed like they would get a break, a different Lord would enlist their help for some menial task or another.

King Poose had only been gone for a week, but without any word of when he would be returning, Blame's patience was wearing thin. He hefted his pickaxe, breaking the gold blocks that he had used for Roamin's statue as he cleared the area. Ever since the fight against the dragon, the now immortal Lords were unbearable. He was loyal to King Poose, but these jokers were getting on his last nerve.

He placed blocks quickly, ignoring the conversation between Rob and Roamin going on behind him. His eyes drifted over to where Etho was working on some redstone for Lord Beef and he hoped this latest statue would meet with approval so he could finally move on and escape Lord Roamin's presence. Blame would be the first to tell you that he was not a talented builder, and the Lords knew that quite well. But it was apparently more entertaining for the Lords to watch him try and fail, so Blame doubted he'd do anything but build until they got bored of it.

It was at times like these that Blame really missed King Poose.

You can also find it over at AO3, which may make it easier to follow chapters as we continue on. :)
