NOTICE: All characters in this story are based off of real people I have played with in Minecraft. The main character is based off of me so I don't have to guess what someone would be thinking under different situations. You will understand what is going on better, so I suggest reading from chapter one. To make it a bit easier for you, I have an adfly link right here--> adf.ly/IptIi

Blind sat in a dark and damp dungeon. In the distance, the moaning of another prisoner could be heard Sometimes, life really sucks. He heard a piston go off, then four pieces of bread fell onto the floor from the ceiling. Blind turned around just in time to see the piston go off again and the hole in the ceiling close. He went over to inspect the bread that had fallen in. Terrific. Stale, wet, moldy bread. They are treating me like a king. Blind thought as he rolled his eyes. Why did they even put me in here? What did I ever do? Blind thought back to when he was rescued.

"Hey! Help me!" Blind shouted as he frantically waved his arms around trying to get the attention of the group in front of him. He would have jumped for joy when they started walking towards him if it wasn't for his shredded left leg. Suddenly, pain shot through his leg, and he fell to the ground. Augh! What the... Blind looked around him, but there was nothing that could have just attacked him. He looked at his leg. The bowstring he had used to tie the bow to his knee had cut into the skin. Thank goodness this didn't happen earlier. By now, the group of people was getting close by. They walked up to him and said, "Holy crap man! What happened to you?" Blind said, "Creeper blew me up. I was right next to it."

One of the people at the back mumbled into the ear of the guy next to him, "I guess he learned his lesson." They both snickered.

"Hey!" Blind said, "Just because I look like a creeper doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to stand next to a creeper on purpose! It sneaked up behind me." Blind undid the bowstring around his leg. "Now can you help me up please? I can't stand up on my own."

The two closest to him looked at each other, shrugged, and helped Blind up. "Thanks." He said. The closest one to Blind handed him two steaks and a piece of bread. "Take this. You are going to need to eat all of these so your leg will heal." Blind ate the food, and was amazed to see his leg slowly heal in front of his eyes. "Thanks again."

"No problem. My name is Highrise by the way. But most people just call me Rise."

"Thank you Rise. My name is Blind. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. Well, I should probably introduce the other three guys to you as well." He puts his hand on the shoulder of the other guy who helped him up. "This is Nmophj. Don't even try to pronounce that." He moved on to the two in the back, and gestured towards the one who had whispered. "This is Bernard," then he gestured towards the last person. "and this is Solja."

Blind's leg was completely healed now, and he stepped forward to shake the hand of all four of the men in front of him. He was confused at why Bernard was reluctant to shake his hand. "So where are you guys headed?"

Nmophj spoke up. "We are scouting this area. About 2,000 blocks away from here there is a castle where there are tons and tons of people. You could come with us if you like. That is, if its okay with them."

Rise smiled and nodded, Solja thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, and Bernard frowned and crossed his arms. "Three out of four." Bernard mumbled and turned around. He clearly doesn't like me. I wonder why? Blind thought.

"So are you coming with us or not?" Solja said.

"Sure. Where else would I go?" Blind replied. The group of five walked for an hour until Rise eventually spoke up. "You know Blind, it probably would have been easier for you if that creeper had killed you."

"What? How would that be? Then I would have been dead!" Blind exclaimed.

Rise stopped walking and looked at blind as if he had two heads. Then he said, "Oh, you must have just spawned recently then. I'm sorry. When you die in this place you respawn either in the bed you last slept in, or at your original spawn point. You never really die for good here."

"Oh. Okay now it makes sense." Blind said. After another hour of walking, the castle came into view. "Here we are." Rise said. He gestured towards Solja, Bernard, and Nmophj. "Go on in, Blind and I will be there in a minute." After they went in, Rise turned to Blind and said, "Before we go in, I must warn you. The people around here are not accustomed to people like you. I cannot guarantee you will be treated fairly."

Blind thought for a moment. "I will go in. I can always leave if I'm treated unfairly."

"That's probably true." Rise said. Probably? Blind asked himself. But he dismissed it moments later. As Blind walked into the castle, he noticed one thing right away. Everyone was staring at him. He could hear murmurings from passersby saying things like, "What is he doing here?"

"I am heading to the King's hall to tell what we found on our scouting mission. Because we found you on it, you should probably come with me." Blind nodded. Why does just about everyone look like they are waiting for me to make a wrong move so they can attack me? Blind tried, but could not force this thought out of his head. They entered the King's hall to find Solja, Bernard, and Nmophj already there, relating their findings to the King. The King looked up to see Rise and Blind walk up, and he was enraged. "YOU DARE BRING THIS BEAST INTO MY PRESCENCE!?" He shouts.

Rise tries to defend himself and Blind by saying, "He was injured when we found him, and he called out for help!"

"He is a spy!" The King yelled back. "All of them are spies! Guards! Apprehend that abomination and throw him in the dungeon!"

Rise took a breath as if he was to protest, but he stopped. He turned to Blind. The expression on his face spoke volumes. He knows there is nothing he can do to help me. Blind was about to say, "Its okay." When the guards were on him. They grabbed his arms and punched him in the chest. As they dragged him towards the dungeon, he gave one last look towards the Nmophj, Rise, Solja, and Bernard. Nmophj looked sad, Rise even sadder, Solja wasn't even looking, and Bernard had a smile on his face.
