The pickaxe was clinging harshly against the chuck of iron ore. Gregory looked over his shoulder and his partner. ''Liz, have you found anything worth keeping yet?'' At first, there was no reply. ''Liz? Are you there?'' a woman yelled from a pit ''Yes, Greg. Come down here, I think I see something!'' Gregory ran as fast as he could down the pit, trying to keep up with Liz's voice.

''You have my attention, what is it?'' Liz looked back at Greg; but she seemed...... confused. ''I swear I just saw something move!!!!!'' Liz looked back at the man. ''Run! look out!'' Greg turned around to find that he has been tossed to the other side of the shaft like a piece of wet grass. ''Ah!!!! Liz, are you okay?'' Greg waited. There was no reply to his call. He looked around and heard a sudden shriek from the cave near him.

''Liz? Liz?!?!?! Are you there? In the name of Notch, tell me you're okay!!!!'' Liz slowly came around the corner. She sounded hostile, and fierce. ''Li.....Liz?'' Greg was picked up off his feet, and launched across the floor. Greg was left with one heart, but tried to hold onto his pain. ''HE SHALL HAVE YOUR SOOOOUUUUUULLLLL!!!!!!!!!!'' Greg was stabbed in the heart with a diamond sword. But this sword...... was not any ordinary weapon. It was...... The Flawless Sword of Notch.
