Lore/Story The Legend Of Herobrine, A Wynncraft Fanfic Is Out (4)

The sunlight dazzled, the green grass glowed under the warm sunlight, the grey stone and brown dirt was supporting the legs of a weak zombie. It roamed and moaned along the path, wandering aimlessly. 'Shiiing.' The sound came from somewhere afar; a cry of pain was heard from another zombie. The weak zombie looked at the source of the sound; the corpse of a weak zombie laid there, its leather helmet became the colour of red and shredded pants trenched in blood, unmoving.

The weak zombie was puzzled at what caused this. When suddenly it heard the shout of a human in front of it, the zombie felt pleased, tightening its grip on its wooden weapon, ready to strike and infect the unsuspecting human in front of him. But he never had the chance to do so; all it saw was a shiny metal sailing heading straight for him. Before it could react and defend itself, the metal pierced its eye, it felt blood rushing out from the wound, and the body fluid drenched its gross green skin. The weak zombie fell on its back, its body unable to withstand the impact from the metal, and saw a long wooden stick attached to the metal through its other eye. It recognised the weapon, a spear. The weak zombie tried to pull the spear out but in vain. It felt its consciousness continuously slipping away from it, the pain slowly faded. Its eyes closed. It was dead, once again.

Krisstal yanked the spear out of the eye, its eye still firmly anchored to the blade. She scowled in disgust, and kicked the eye out of her spear. She looked back and saw arrows whizzing pass like streaks of light right at her, she ducked and heard grunts behind her. Immediately she turned around and swung her spear up, stabbing through the chest of a zombie. She then proceeded to finish the others.

Seeing how brutal and savage that was, Skywalker decided to take a more gentle approach. Instead of giving the enemies a slow and painful death, he gave the zombies a quicker and fast death. He backhanded his dagger, and sliced the throat and vital parts of the zombies. His opponent, unlike the ones Krisstal faced, is a zombie, a slightly tougher one, but not an unbeatable one. The zombie he was facing a stone sword, clearly an upgrade to the weak zombies who held wooden ones. It had not only received a weapon upgrade, but it also had the addition of leather boots as well. The zombie attempts to jab him with its sword, Skywalker ducked and rolled away, and found he was right in front of it. His dagger switched from backhand to forehand, as he jumped up and slashed the zombie lengthwise upwards. The zombie then collapsed to the dirt, the leather boots still stuck to its feet, while the helmet got sliced in half. The zombie's grasp on the sword also loosen, and it perished to the dagger and skills of Skywalker. He leapt into the air, and landed another devastating blow to another zombie.

Hearolie seeing his arrows hit the targets behind Krisstal, smiled. He proceeded to fire arrow after arrow at the zombies as well. Weak zombies fell instantly, unable to withstand the damage, their green skin shredded and cut. They died one after another. Things are looking well until a zombie, equipped with a stone sword and full leather armour came to the rescue of the weak zombies. The zombie, moved to intercept the attack, and successfully protected the remaining weak zombies by being a zombie shield. Hearolie kept firing arrow after arrow, but the zombie held on. Slowly it walked towards him, Hearolie soon realised normal shots, although able to deal damage, wasn't enough to finish it off.

'This calls for a special move.' Hearolie thought. He did the hand signs for the move 'Arrow Storm' and aimed his weapon at the zombie. The barrage of arrows struck the zombie; the zombie fell to its knees but still clinging to its life.

'One more attack and you're history.' Hearolie said. He aimed his bow and fired the arrow. As the arrow sailed across the air, the zombie put his sword in front of him, acting as a shield. The arrow struck the sword, the stone sword cracked and shattered, leaving the zombie unarmed. The weak zombies stepped up and prepared themselves to face Hearolie, buying time for the armoured zombie to recover.

'That's quite noble of you guys, must be because you were once humans like us.' Hearolie though, he shot another Arrow Storm to the air, and sat down on the dirt to rest, feeling drained. The zombies had no clue what was going on, thinking how a human could have such poor aim. They begin their attack, thinking it was easy prey. Hearolie looked up to the sky, hearing the clashes of his friends against the enemies. He heard the zombies moving towards him, but he wasn't worried, not one bit. He saw what he was expecting. The Arrow Storm attack that was launched to the sky is now heading towards the unsuspecting foes, the tips gleamed under the sun. Like a rainstorm, the arrows crashed down, landing on the zombies' heads and shoulders. All the zombies that got hit by the arrow rain deceased.

Wolfred barked at the zombies that surrounded his master. Reygina managed to keep the zombies at bay, she noticed Wolfred about to sink his teeth into the leg of a zombie, she immediately stopped him, fearing whatever caused the living to become the undead might affect her pet as well. She wouldn't want to see her pet dead.

'Wolfred distract them for me, please?' Reygina asked, blasting a zombie and knocking it back.

Wolfred immediately barked and acknowledged her orders. He ran under the legs of the zombies, too swift for the zombies to land a hit of him with their swords. He even managed to tackle a fully leather armoured zombie, impressing Reygina. The zombies thinking the dog as a nuisance began to chase after him. Reygina felt like she could breathe again, she healed herself with a heal spell, began blasting at the zombies. It took a while due to the number of zombies that was 'attracted' to her, but the duo pet and owner was able to finish off every last enemy. Suddenly, a rock hit her back. She turned around and saw a very small monster throwing rocks at her. The globin scout was like a little boy acting all tough. It wore tiny leather helmet and boots, with a white apron. Although the attacks were almost harmless, it is a monster nonetheless, and Reygina blasted it away.



Ahead they saw a knight who was stacking up wooden crates with a strange picture on one of them; it was a picture of a small bag of red powder.



'Maybe that guy up ahead is Therck.' Skywalker said, after defeating the rest of the zombies. The others finished off the rest of the zombies and went ahead.

'Hopefully he isn't too much of a jerk.' Krisstal thought, remembering what Enzan had said to them when they met at the gate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'I see you want to venture into the wilderness!' The old knight said, looking outside to see a red zombie warrior being knocked out and sent away by the mighty Guard Golems. The warrior zombie's red leather armour was torn and ripped by the attack; its ugly red scar on its forehead was a disgust to look at. It growled in pain as it attempted to stab the golem with its sharp spear. Only for the golem to catch it and snatch the weapon from, snapping the spear in half, and threw the two halves at the warrior. The halves both hit their mark, brutally causing fatal wounds to the zombie warrior.

'Wolfred, calm down.' Reygina said, picking up her dog and tickling him, Wolfred licked her nonstop as a response.

'My name is Enzan, and I am now a retired knight. I've spent most of my life fighting for Ragni's army, just like you.' The knight said, mesmerising at his glory days.

'Was it always like this?' Skywalker asked, looking at the number of undead outside, their hunger to infect driving them towards Ragni, and how bravely some recruits like them were fighting for their lives and for Ragni. He saw a recruit in the far distance who spun his spear in the air, and forcefully jab his weapon into the back of the zombie warrior. The zombie warrior roared with a cry of pain and leapt away to prevent the second attack, leaving a small trail of fire that quickly extinguished on its own. It retreated to the north, and was no longer seen. The recruit chased after it using what Skywalker believed is a spell move, judging from his hand signs. The recruit also leapt away and soon he lost from him.

'It is and I know how hard it must be to be a recruit at this time, so I've got something that could help you! Well, I don't have it, but my brother does! His name is Therck.' Enzan said.

'Follow this road; he's at the entrance of the Nivla Forest. You can't miss him. Just head to the end of the trail, past the item identifier.' He continued, pointing to the path in front of them.

'Item Identifier?' Krisstal asked, curious with who or what this thing is. 'Is that a thing? Never heard it before... '

'Haha, no it's not a thing. It's a person.' Enzan laughed. 'The identifier is a villager located throughout the Wynn Province. They identify unique, rare, set, legendary, or in rare instances mythic items, such as weapons, armour, and accessories to make it have other features as a bonus. Items can gain powerful abilities when identified. Normal items, which are weapons, armour and accessories that don't need to be identified are the weakest compare to the other counterparts, mythic items are the strongest.' Enzan said, showing his bow that was placed in behind his back. 'This weapon of mine for example is a rare weapon. It's called The Traveller, it was dropped when I killed a mob somewhere, forgot the exact location sorry. My memory isn't as sharp as it used to be.'

'Ooo... I like the sound of it.' Hearolie said, looking at his bow, wondering what will his first bonuses be.

'Where can we get such items? We could always get an upgrade.' Reygina asked, feeling interested in this new found knowledge.

'Hmm... I think my brother will know about this more clearly, sorry.' He sheepishly laughed.

'Well we can't wait to meet your brother.' Skywalker said, the others looked excited, evident with them raising their weapons and cheering.

'Wait, what does your brother have that's so special then?' Reygina asked, realising they hadn't know the main point of their quest.

'Well that's for you to find out, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Tell him I sent you! He can be such a jerk to strangers sometimes...' He bid them farewell, and walked back to the city.

'May you live your lives to the fullest.' He looked back and smiled. 'Make no regrets! Maybe find me again when you come back.'

'Well let's get going, we need to see what special things his brother can give us.' Skywalker said as they hurried through the path, known as Emerald Trail.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Can't you see I'm busy?' The person snapped at them, unhappy with the interruption

'Sorry to bother you, but are you Therck? Enzan sent us here to find his brother. He said we will find him around here.' Skywalker said, looking around.

'Oh, my brother? Sorry, I didn't know.' Therck said, but it was clear he wasn't really feeling sorry; even so Therck looks exactly like his brother.

'So Enzan said you have something that could help us. Oh and hi there.' Krisstal thrilled with the surprise they were going to receive.

'Why yes, I actually have something that could help you...' He fished his pockets and gave a piece of paper to each of them.

'Take this note. Bring it to the merchant right behind you.' He pointed to a small red and white stall behind him. Under the stone slaps of the ceiling was a villager who has only got hair at the back of his head, something Reygina found very weird. His black apron has slight amount of powders stuck on it.

'He owes me some favours. So, he will exchange it for a magical powder of your choice.' Therck opened up one of the crates and showed them the variants of powders.

'You can enchant your weapon and armour with it, making them much more powerful! Isn't it awesome?' Therck asked, to which a Hearolie replied with an absolutely.

'Now, you'll need a Powder Master to apply powders, but there's one at the end of the forest... So ... eh, you can't miss him. You're probably headed through the Nivla Forest now, aren't you? It's a bit dangerous, but the big city of Detlas is past there, so good luck going through!' The recruits took a look at the forest and simultaneously said they will go next time.

'Oh right! Enzan said you know how to get better weapons, armour and accessories and what their status is.' Krisstal asked, remembering what Enzan said.

'I see you want better gear. Well apart from being lucky and get a weapon when you killed a monster like my brother. I got myself ''The Berserk'', a legendary weapon from a loot chest.' He showed them a hammer that was put on top of the crates, he then carried the hammer which looked very heavy and swung at a nearby spider that was on the stone arch behind them. The hammer made contact with the spider, and all that was left is a carcass of a flattened spider, with its insides leaking out. Unlike the recruits, Therck wasn't grossed out.

Therck saw their looks and laughed, 'I had the same reaction as you did back then, but years and years of encountering bloodshed and corpses... This is nothing compare to what the corruption can do to us humans. Those are far more terrifying. Anyways loot chests appear in various locations in all over the region. They have tiers ranging from tier I to tier IV, marked on the cover of the chest, indicates the quality of the chest. Loot chests contain various types of items in them, including emeralds, common equipment, unidentified weapons, unidentified armour, potions, and even accessories that are exclusive to tier III and IV chests. For example, as I have just said, My ''The Berserk''.'

'What if we use an unidentified weapon? How do we know the stats of an unidentified item?' Reygina asked, picking up the sleepy Wolfred.

'Well you can't use an unidentified weapon. Bows and wands won't fire any projectiles. Daggers and spears will basically only hit things with the force of a leaf touching a surface of water. Basically there are useless. You will know the stats, such as how many additional damage or health regeneration... things like that and the status, meaning if the weapon is normal, unique, rare... you get it, of your identified weapon by two ways, one is that the Item Identifier will tell both the stat and the status when he or she identified your item. Second is that the weapon itself once identified, with have the stats and status marked onto it, along with the name of the item.' He showed them The Berserk and pointed at the markings on the weapon. They immediately noticed the words 'The Berserk' on the handle of the weapon.

'In all honesty, no one knows where these loot chests came from, but rumours had said it came from the mages from Mage Island, whom decided to indirectly help us in fighting the corruption by doing so.' Therck said, with a slight pause and continued. 'All powders do their specified elemental damage with additional neutral damage when added to a weapon. When added to armour however, it adds the specified powders defence, but negates the elements weakness defence. When adding two tier 4+ powders of the same element to a weapon it activates its special. Each elemental powder has its own special. Armour pieces work differently, they still have a special but it is only a passive effect. If you want to know more, you could always ask the powder masters.'

The sun was about to set as he finished with what he had to say.

'Oh dear, I better hurry with these crates and chests. Class dismiss. Now get going so you won't disturb me again.' Therck packed the crates. The recruits headed to the Powder Merchant.

'First powder. I'll pick earth powder.' Skywalker said, giving his note to the merchant.

'I'll pick fire.' The blonde girl said, and took a look at the red powder she now had.

'Blue is my favourite colour so I'll pick the blue, the water powder.' Reygina said, stopping Wolfred from licking the blue substance.

'Hmm thunder or air...' Hearolie thought, both powders are tempting. But after much thought, he finally decided on the air powder.

'Alright we are all set. Let's go back to Ragni.' Skywalker exclaimed. 'Would you come with us Therck?'

'Go on ahead. I don't have time to deal with you anymore. My brother keeps sending me people all the time. They keep coming expecting free stuff! What a cruel joke he is pulling on me...'

'This is called brotherly love. Don't you know it?' Reygina asked. 'Brothers always treat each other ... more violently and cruelly but deep down cares and love each other. They just don't like to show it to each other.' Reygina giggled, rocking Wolfred.

Therck grunted and his face reddened, feeling either embarrassed or mad at his brother. 'I'm going back to Ragni, and have a word with my brother...' He took his hammer and left.

The recruits followed him back, but just before they left, a man wearing a suit of armour with distinct emerald eyes and brown hair came running.



(Credits go to ThatsRush, skin name is Fabian Knight Remake from Skindex)

'Ah! Vade? Why are you here? Didn't you ask for taking a break to heal your wounds? You could barely buy enough healing potions, so how are you walking this quick?' Therck asked, surprised at his friend's swift recovery.

'Well yes, my daughter bought home emeralds and healing potions. All we need is given by some kind hearted girl. What's her name again? Chris? Crystal? Right that's her name. My daughter won't stop talking about her. Notch bless this recruit.' Vade said, touched by the kindness of the recruit. Krisstal smiled, knowing she helped the man in front of her.

Therck patted his back, 'well it's good to have you back, dear friend. Hope you won't mind joining us for dinner tomorrow. Bring Angel as well, I'm certain she wouldn't mind.'

'Haha! Certainly. Just don't be jealous if she chooses your brother over you as ''best uncle''.' Vade laughed.

Therck surprised Skywalker, Krisstal, Hearolie and Reygina with his response. 'Anything for Angel, I was her babysitter when you were out to battle with your wife for Ragni. I know her all too well. She never could really identify me and my brother apart. To her, we are the same person.' Therck rolled his eyes but chuckled.

The two bid farewell, with Therck congratulating on Vade's recovery. The recruits and Therck were walking down the Emerald Trail and were near Pigman Cave when suddenly a lot of zombies suddenly appeared out of nowhere, along with a lot more different variants. The heroes are heavily outnumbered. Wolfred sensed the danger and jumped from his owner's arms, barking at all the zombies.



'Ah... This brings back memories of me and Vade, and Enzan of course kicking butt back in the days... For Ragni!' He shouted out a battle cry, and slammed his 'The Berserk' at a nearby zombie and with a brutal swing, knocked the zombie back against a small horde of oncoming zombies, causing a zombie domino. 'Hey! Blonde girl.' Therck pointed at Krisstal, 'help me out here.'

Krisstal threw her spear and it impaled a lot of zombies, crippling them. 'I have a name you know.' and rushed ahead to assist the old knight, while the other went to fight the monsters behind them. They fought weak zombies and zombies, and even goblin scouts.

On a ledge near Skywalker, Hearolie and Reygina were three different zombies. One is a zombie with nothing but leather gloves and a bow, the bow string stretched, ready to fire. The second one is a zombie who has a leather helmet and leather boots, its pants the colour of yellow ochre. A brightly lit fire ball on its right hand, ready to burn anything it touches. The third is a black leathered chestplate and pants, with boots the colour of the shadows that it casted. The zombie weld a large dagger, its oversized golden handle protects its hand, and a blade that is longer than its head.







A human mage had suddenly appeared behind the zombie archer as if to sneak attack it. However he clearly had underestimated the enemies, he blasted the archer once. A grave mistake indeed as the angered the zombie archer. The zombie archer shot the young mage; he dropped his wand, unable to withstand the pain and the blood from flowing. The assassin went ahead and hit the poor and bleeding human in the face, leaving a deep cut. The fire zombie launched fireball after fireball, in addition arrows were shot by the archer. The human was crying for help, attracting the three heroes nearby, but it was too late. The zombie assassin has bitten him, it would be inevitable for him to transform. His leather cap and boots turned to ash by the flames. His painful cries grew faint.

'So a zombie archer, a fire zombie and a zombie assassin.' Skywalker said. Let's show them who's the better archer, mage and assassin or ninja.'

'Wolfred stay. This is too dangerous for you.' Reygina said, pointing the ground. Wilfred let out a sad sound.

The three zombies launched their attacks and so did the three recruits.

The projectiles cancelled each other out, the fireball and white trail collided, a small shock wave created. While the blades clashed head on, the arrows cut each other in half. Reygina waved her wand and Hearolie shot arrow after arrow, simultaneously leaping around to try to hit the archer zombie from different angles. The fire zombie suddenly let out a fireball, which was on route to an arrow fired by the human archer. What happened after that, gave Reygina an idea, as Hearolie's arrow shot through the fireball, the arrow tip glowed red while its shaft, fletches and nock burned off. It hit the zombie archer in the eye and roared in pain, as it tried to pull the burning tip out, dropping its bow. While it remained defenceless, Reygina fired her wand at the archer walker, and landed a killing blow. The fire zombie is obviously angered by its lost comrade, as evident from its more rapid firing of fireballs aimlessly, a fireball hit a nearby tree and it caught on fire. Reygina and Hearolie tried to fire everything they have, but the fireballs were fired one after another, cancelling their attacks.

Reygina dodged a fireball, 'Hearolie, fire an arrow in 2 seconds.' She ducked low in front of Hearolie.

'Yes madam!' Hearolie said, he counted the last second and fired his arrow.

Reygina fired her projectile right before the arrow is fired, acting as a shield for the arrow. Although the fire zombie managed to neutralize the attack of the mage, it couldn't destroy the arrow in time. The arrow caused the newly formed fireball to explode, hurting the fire zombie's hand. Reygina finished it off by spamming her projectiles. It fell and the two of them cheered, until a warning was shouted and a tree fell on top of them, their minds went blank.

Meanwhile Skywalker was having a bit difficulty with his opponent after their first clash, while he landed a few good hits on the zombie assassin. Its armour proven sturdier than it looks, an attack to its head was proven too difficult for him, giving how the assassin can effortlessly block the attacks with its overly large dagger. Moreover, a strong zombie has appeared. Skywalker knew he had to eliminate the strong zombie as soon as possible if he had any chance of defeating the assassin. He kicked the assassin away after landing more cuts to the black armoured zombie and turned to face the strong zombie.



'Something's not right... Why isn't he moving towards me? That's what they do.' Skywalker thought to himself as he observed something not right. He decided to move cautiously towards the iron armoured zombie. The strong zombie had white iron armour, clanking as it moves. Apart from the distinct armour piece, he looks exactly like a normal zombie. Skywalker decided to move forward and kill it.

Suddenly it threw a zombie out of nowhere at him, Skywalker manage to dodge in time but was unable to dodge in time for the second throw. The assassin zombie was approaching and Skywalker kicked him away once again. The attack from the strong zombie injured him a bit, and Skywalker knew a head on attack would be unwise. He had an idea and ran to the side of the strong zombie, as expected the strong zombie tried to land a hit on him but Skywalker was just a bit faster than it. He ran circles around it meanwhile closing the distance between them. When he was in range, Skywalker used whirlwind twice and sliced the strong zombie's neck. With two loud "thud", the head and the armoured body fell to the ground. Though he successfully defeated the strong zombie, it drained his stamina greatly. The zombie assassin was relentless, not letting Skywalker able to catch a breath, the ninja had to retreat and hid behind the closest tree to catch his breath, even though it was burning. The assassin however continued its pursuit and swung its weapon hard, a deep cut formed on the burning tree that Skywalker was hiding behind.

'Time for a whirl- uh oh.' Skywalker ducked, as the assassin was able to get around the tree and attempt to stab the ninja.

Skywalker was quick enough to dodge the attack and landed numerous quick cuts on the armpit of the zombie, cutting the arm off. The zombie winced in pain, Skywalker felt the rage coming out of it, and rolled to the side.

The assassin zombie saw the corpses of the zombie archer and zombie archer; it let out an angry snarl and roared with fury. It smashed its dagger into the burning tree, breaking it's weapon in half but it successfully made the tree to begin its collapse due to the trunk was severely weaken by the attacks it got, and was heading right in the direction of where the mage and archer were.

'Look out!' Skywalker yelled as Wilfred ran to grab her owner out of harm's way. But they were too late, the tree has crashed right into them, knocking both of them out, unconscious and trapped under the blazing tree.

Wolfred howled a sadden cry, and it let out an anger growl, its fur stood up. The dog has reached a boiling point comparable to the assassin, judging by how stunned the assassin was. He ran right at the assassin and tried to land a bite on its leg. Skywalker took the opportunity to strike the assassin, he knew it was risky and perhaps he was impulsive, but he knew it was his only chance. He pressed his dagger right into its arm and began to push the dagger down, at the same time attempting to push its head away to avoid being bitten by the zombie. He knew if he aimed for the head directly, the zombie assassin would stab him immediately, he trusted Wolfred to finish the job. The assassin tried to get away, but the pain was too much to bear, it couldn't escape and there was an angry dog biting its leg continuously. If it's going down, might as well take the human down with it. It first yanked Wolfred out of the way, the hound let go of its leg and it landed a kick right into Wolfred, kicking him away to a safe distance. Then, it quickly moved his head, causing Skywalker's hand to slip off from its face and had his forearm right in front of him. It quickly launched a bite straight towards Skywalker's forearm, the ninja closed his eyes, he was going to transform and fight his friends instead and regretted not heeding Krisstal's words and heard Wolfred barked...

Krisstal and Therck were running back to where her three friends are, and let out a gasp when she saw a burning tree was trapping her two friends, she and Therck hurried to the scene. Therck put out the fire quickly by smashing his hammer down to cut off the air, whereas Krisstal began to chip the sections of the tree to make it easier for them to remove from their friends. She heard Wolfred barked and screamed in horror as he saw Wolfred struggling to stand and how Skywalker was seconds away from being bitten. She began to form tears in her eyes, she couldn't do anything to save her friend, her best friend...

Skywalker prepared himself to die, even though he finally sliced its arm off along with its broken dagger, he didn't have enough time and reaction time to retract his arm. He saw the horrified and broken look of Krisstal and it scared and scarred him.

Suddenly out of nowhere, an arrow shot the assassin, finally killing it. Skywalker fell on his butt and looked at the archer.

'Enzan? How did you...' Skywalker asked, still trying to make sense of what happened. Enzan replied him with a wink and helped him up.

'Glad I made it in time, brother was not back in Ragni before seven, so I thought something must be wrong. Turns out I can really trust my gut instinct. Go to your girlfriend and help her, she seems really shaken. Brother, time to fight like the old times.' Enzan said, patting the shocked Skywalker back and rushed to defend the newbies, unable to hear what Skywalker said to him.

Therck nodded and smashed one zombie after another, with Enzan was shooting arrows to cover their flanks. Skywalker ran to Krisstal who had tears streaming down her redden cheeks, scared to death and now relieved she hugged him tightly.

'It's okay Krisstal, I'm fine now.' Skywalker said, patting her friend.

She let go, 'I thought I lost you! Silly Sky!' She playfully hit him and wiped her tears.

'Sorry... That's all he could think of, he couldn't think of anything else to say. They stayed silence. Wolfred managed to finally recover from the attack, and licked Hearolie's and chewed on Reygina's hair, begging for them to wake up who are still unconscious but no longer in danger.

'Now help me remove the trunk so we could get them to the hospital.' She started lifting the tree, but only managed to move it a bit. Skywalker immediately helped and the tree was soon removed, freeing their two comrades. They pulled them out to the open, and were relieved to finally with the team back together.

Enzan and Therck were holding the zombies back. Zombie archers, zombie assassin, fire zombies, zombies, weak zombies, zombies, strong zombies, goblin scouts... They were everywhere now, and even the two knights found it difficult to hold them off.

'Brother, if this is the end. Know that I love you even if you are a jerk!' Enzan said, deflecting a fire ball back at a group of zombies, causing a small explosion and burning them.

'Brother, I'm not gay. Stop saying I'm a jerk or I will throw you at the horde.' Therck replied, shoving a zombie assassin while dodging an archer's attack.

'Brothers! Enough!' Vade ran and jumped, slicing zombie after zombie. 'Focus on the task at hand, or there will no more "arguments" for you.'

'Vade? How are you here?' Therck asked, shocked to see his friend here at those time.

'The merchant has left early, so I was relieved from duty much earlier than normal.' Vade said, slicing an arrow in half.

'Fall back and regroup!' Therck said, the warriors and archer had their back together.

'Time to combine our special moves.' Vade said. 'Hope you guys aren't too old to remember. They took their positions; Skywalker and Krisstal look at the elders hoping to see what will happen.

Vade launched a move, a trail of fire travelling along the ground and when it made contact with Enzan, launched him high up into the sky. While he was in mid-air, Enzan used arrow storm twice, however more numerous than the amount of arrows Hearolie could fire using the same move as the arrows sail they leave a trail of fire behind them. He fired it right at Therck who did a war cry, and pushed the arrows back into the air, making them soaring into the night sky. As Therck was performing the war cry, Vade used the same move on Therck, making Therck airborne. Therck added the final touched. He used the spell bash a few times when he was right above the arrows. The arrows under the bash effect and due to their sheer numbers were launched in every direction, forming a mega arrow rain. The arrow rain landed on the zombies, killing them instantly and knocking a lot of them back, while the heroes remained unharmed as they were. The threat was lowered significantly.

'Let's go home.' Vade said, with the brothers behind him, however the zombies weren't giving up, as some of them formed a small wall along the path, blocking their escape.

The three knights looked at each other and shook their heads. Therck and Vade shouted a war cry together, and held their weapons in place, forming a footing for Enzan who put his feet onto the weapons. The pike and hammer launched Enzan right above the wall of zombies, which Enzan said Arrow Bomb. The arrows landed on the ground and bounced on the floor. Blowing up the wall of zombies, the path is clear. Vade carried Hearolie and Therck carried Reygina. Enzan lead the pack as he shot and knocked backed the monsters. They ran until they reached the eastern gate where the golems helped to keep the zombies out of the city.

'We are saved.' Skywalker thought, as he stopped running and fell to his knees, Krisstal seemed to be also out of breath; she sat on the floor next to him. Wolfred just lay on the floor, his tongue sticking out of his mouth and panted. The cold stone floor was something Krisstal had yearned to feel again, it is prove of a safe environment.

'Enzan, take them to Vade's house and prepare some food for them. They look like they are about to collapse any second. Vade, you wouldn't mind would you? Sorry for the short notice.' Therick said, with Reygina still slumped over his shoulder.

'No worries, old friend. They are our friends and allies; I would want to provide the best for them. Angel wouldn't mind the company anyways.' Vade replied with a smile. He and Therck carried Hearolie and Reygina to the hospital together with Wolfred while Enzan lead Skywalker and Krisstal to Vade's house, which Krisstal knew thanks to Angel telling her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angel was playing with her dolls about a scene where the two dolls get married when she heard a knock on the door.

'Daddy?' She asked to herself, and ran to the door, with both hands she pulled the door open and see three people at the door.

'Uncle Enzan!' Angel cheered and hugged him.

'Hi baby Angel! I am here with some friends.' Enzan said, motioning Krisstal to come in. 'Now this is...'

'Krisstal. Krisstal. Krisstal...' Angel screamed and hugged her.

'Am I missing something?' Enzan and Skywalker asked.

'She bought the rainbow ribbon and gave me emeralds and potion.' Angel said, while pulling Krisstal inside.

'That's a surprise, no wonder Vade was back up so quickly. He saved his saviour just now then.' Enzan said, thanking Krisstal for her kindness.

'Angel, this here is ... Skywalker, correct?' Skywalker nodded and greeted Angel.

How Sky! Are you Krisstal's boyfr...' Angel got muffled by Kristal's hand.

'Why is everyone thinking I'm his girlfriend, even though...' Skywalker thought.

'Angel, give them some water and let them rest. They fought a lot of monsters today.' Enzan said, going into the kitchen.

'Okie dokie.' Angel got the cups and gave the two recruits water.

The door opened again, this time Therck and Vade entered. Angel immediately jumped onto Vade whom happily catches her, the two shared some father and daughter moments, while Therck helped Enzan with the food.

'Your friends and dog are in good and safe hands, and thank you for donating your stuff to us, it was an unexpected and overwhelming joy that I got to recover this quick.' Vade thanked Krisstal and shook her hand.

'And you saved me and my friends today, so I say we are even.' Krisstal laughed.

Vade set up the table while Angel played with Krisstal and Skywalker.

'Dinner time!' Enzan told them as he and Therck took several dishes on the table. Angel and Vade gave everyone the tableware.

'We cooked ''Carrot on a steak'', mashed potatoes, a large cod and some pasta.' Therck said, sitting down on a chair.

'Angel? Who is your favourite uncle?' Enzan asked, smiling at her.

'Uncle Therck! He cooked my favourite ''Carrot on a steak''.' Angel yelled.

'Good! Very Good!' Therck laughed and gave Angel some steak, which Angel happily chewed it.

Skywalker and Krisstal were amazed by how happy a family dinner can be even at these dark times. It's like all the pain and suffering had vanished completely. There is no such thing as negative at this moment, their troubles and worries all gone, their fears and terrors vanquished, their sadness and grief vanished. The dinner was all they need to recover from that terrible ordeal.

'Sorry to ask! But how did you three met?' Skywalker asked, curious to how the three people could pull off such an amazing yet coordinate strike back in Emerald Trail.

'Ah! Now that's a long story...' Vade said, his mind and body began to tell the tale... 'It all started back...'

Author Note

This chapter marks the first time our recruits are vulnerable. Their first quest ended in disaster, with half the team in hospital and the one of them narrowly escaped death. You might think why did I write the characters like they are so weak? My answer will be they lack experience, they only heard what they will be going up against in Fruma, but they never had any first experience in fighting the monsters. The first encounter in the mines was just a short and small encounter. They didn't fight for long in the mines as they are in a hurry, but this time they fought against a lot more variants of zombies, and it is hard for any newbie to handle. In real life, even the simplest things like counting one to ten or the alphabet could be the most daunting and most difficult task; we struggled a lot to get the order or pronunciation correct. It is through our determination and hard work did we eventually conquer these tasks. And I want to tie this fact to our heroes, who just needs to train and practise so they could avoid another disaster, just like unreal life. We grow and learn at the same time. I really enjoyed writing this first real fight scene, hope you Wynn(win)ers enjoy. Imagine and create.

Thank you every officers, admins, builders... that has created and developed Wynncraft. Do share important information about Wynncraft, such as easter eggs and timelines or even 'wynn'consistencies. (The term is not created by me; credits go to whoever comes up with this.) As knowing these will help me improve my story. Thank you once again for reading till the end. I do not own anything except this story. oh and if you are interested , I could add you as characters (only minor roles sorry), just send me your name and a screenshot of your character (with or without gear)in wynncraft, preferably you front, side and back. It would be a bonus if you can list out the names of your gear and mount. (Makes me able to write your character a lot cooler than just saying your name.) Thank you all.

________________________________

This chapter is more graphic and more brutal the other chapters i posted. However, i do hope you still find it enjoyable, such as the characterization of Therck and Enzan.

 

So far, it's looking good. I think it's creative in the way that you inserted pictures into it.

I just skimmed it, I'm going to thoroughly read it now.

 

First thing's first:
You used the word zombie 250 times throughout the whole chapter, maybe use a synonym for it?

And,

Read this over again.
Also, aren't apostrophes supposed to be on the inside of a quotation mark?

For example:

Should be:
"Uncle Therck! He cooked my favorite 'Carrot on a steak'"

Make sure to proofread the story before you submit it, there are many small mistakes throughout the story. I see that you improved on explaining details and evoking imagery, so good job on that.

 

First and foremost thank you for reading my story as it means a lot to me. In addition, you spent time to help me correct mistakes in my story, I am very grateful for that. I'll be sure to improve with the next chapter with the punctuation. Not sure about using the word 'zombie' though, it doesn't have a lot of synonyms, I will of course try to use a lot more of variety of words to replace zombie though. Again thank you so much for helping me improve my story.
