Shamelessly Alive (A Minecraft Fanfiction)

Fun And At Eachothers Throats

I don't go home right away. Instead, I stop by a nearby lava pool. I think about getting in, but I just sit. For the first time in a long while, I let myself remember what happened right before I left to this world. I know that everyone lost someone, have it be 'parents', friends, or anyone else that they liked that fought. But most important, everyone lost the King and Queen. The Queen has gone missing, we dont know if she's dead or alive. We all know the king is dead though.

I watched as a final arrow shot into his throat as he blew fire. I watched him descend in and explosion of purple light. The Queen was fast enough to get an Enderman to teleport and bring the egg to her before a human got it. She gave the egg to my sister to protect as we left. We never saw her again. I don't know if my sister is safe though. She and the King are both lost. I can only have hope that I got both from the dragon hunters.

Oh, right, the eggs. I need to set those out and call to them. Let them know it's safe to hatch. Not now. I still need to keep track of what happened tonight. I pull out a fraying journal, turn to the next blank page, and write out a few points Three dragons came (Endev, Ensver, Vodalia). Ender shop in town. 27 eggs. Hunters came home. Took/killed Vodalia. Still have her. Went back to town, burn Ender shop. I hesitate a moment before the next note Kill someone. Save Rosalina. Try to save others. Go home. Elaborate.

I stuff the book back in my back, and just sit. "It's ok. I'm alive. I survived today and thats what matters." Saying this usually makes me feel a bit better. It does, untill I hear someone coming. I don't wait to see who or what, I just move into a bush. I look out, watching for any movement. I hear whispering, then something runs off. I think thats all there was, so once its far enough, I step out, still looking around.

"Endress, it's just us." Ensver says from behind me. I nearly jump out of my skin when he touches me "Hey, its ok. I made sure the kids got out safe. Endev went back to your house to see if you were there. What are you doing out here?"

"Nothing, just thinking." I frown. "I have to pack up and leave. Other hunters are going to come looking." Yes I am avoiding my problems.

"Yeah, we can do that. But Endress," He starts to change the subject "I wanted to ask you something. You don't have to answer, but, jave you ever killed anything? Even animals for food?" He tries to ask gently, but its still strange.

I hesitate, thinking about it first "Yes, for the first few months, but eventually I couldn't handle hearing them scream. So I only kill hostiles, and learned how to farm."

"What do you mean scream?" Ensver looks at me funny.

"You know, when things are dying they usually scream. Some pleaded for their life." I look away.

"Wait, you can understand them?" He asks, sounding as if it wasn't normal.

"Yeah, can't you?" I look back at him. I've almost always been able to understand animals.

"No, I'm pretty sure thats just you. Oh, what if thats your Dragon Power?" He gasps.

"My Dragon Power being talking to animals? Really?" I was hoping for something more useful for taking back home.

"Hey, its not so bad. You can get them to help you easier. Is that why you have so many cats?" Ensver grins.

"Sort of, yeah. They're nice company. Not so silent all the time." I laugh. It definitely gets lonely.

We come up to the house, but instead of flying up, I climb the vine. Of course Ensver asks "Why dont you fly?", mid flight.

"My wings still hurt." I shrug when I reach the top "If you didn't notice the burns on my back, some kid threw water at me. That's why I'm wearing a blanket instead of a shirt."
