Next morning...

Minecraftia 3/15/1275...

Shasta POV:

"Shasta, the gold is missing!" Splie shouted as he ran towards me, "What? How is it gone?" I questioned, "The iron trapdoor was left wide open." Splie answered, "And... Layla broke out last night not long after you went to bed last night." he added. "Why didn't you tell me when it happened?" I asked, hurt in my voice. "You've been restless with everything ever since Gline was taken over." Splie answered.

Back at Gline...

Layla's POV:

I walk over to the throne, where Aafiq sits before me. "Aafiq, my mission had been compromised by a few wolf people." I said, kneeling before Aafiq. "Wolf people? What do you mean?" Aafiq asked, "They are normal wolves you've seen before. They have a human-like form, but their ears and tail still remain the same on their bodies." I explained, "Very intriguing." he spoke, "I got a new mission for you. I'm sending you and some of my army to attack this wolf civilization. Oh, and since you've failed to bring Shasta back to me, I'm partnering you up with a very successful strategist. Zack Edgerton!" Aafiq said, getting out of his throne.

A geeky steampunk-clothed man walks into the room. "Zack at your service, Aafiq." Zack said, making a small bow. "Is this really necessary?" I asked, backing up a couple of steps. "Yes. I know he's going to succeed in places you failed." The Muslim King explained, "Zac, feel free to eliminate all the targets, just bring back Shasta alive..." Aafiq informed, "Yes, my king." Zac replied.

Shasta's POV:

After a few minutes of Splie and I's conversation, I walk off and found Steve, Luke, and Ben still asleep. I kicked Steve in the leg. "Wake up!" I shouted. They jump up out of their sleep. "Dude, what's going on?" Luke asked, "I suspect that you stole the gold I have stashed up in the Warehouse." I explained, "Gold? I didn't know you had gold." Luke said.

"Alpha, there's a small group of people in red colored clothes walking into the forest." A pack member reported, "Surround them, don't let any of them leave the area. I'll talk to them myself." I ordered. "As for you three, we'll talk about this later, I still suspect you on taking it." I said to Ben, Luke, and Steve.

Nixon and I walk outside the gate and was met by a group of Mason Order soldiers. "Which one of you is in charge?" I asked them, "I am." The Mason Lieutenant shouted, walking into view. "State your business." I demanded, "I've got reports of attacks on Muslim villages. Were you responsible for these attacks?" The Lieutenant asked, "Yes I am, why does it matter to you?" I questioned, "We both have a common enemy. My superiors would like to know if you want to be allies." He stated.

In the distance, a small clanking sound can be heard. I ears perk up to this noise. I can smell... Layla's scent! "They're coming..." I said. Muslim knights emerge out from the trees and take down a couple of Mason knights and a few of my pack members using bows and arrows. "Nixon, get everyone outside to defend our ground." I ordered, "Yes, Alpha. Right away." Nixon said, taking off to Soure.

The Mason Knights and The Pack put up a fight defending our ground, but we are quickly overrun by the powerful Muslim forces. "Wolfpack, retreat!" I ordered, covering the wolf pack's escape. "Ben, Luke, and Steve, I need you to help me destroy the Brewery and the Warehouse." I said, lighting TNT and throwing it at the brewery. "Why do you want to destroy them?" Luke asked, "I have important items that I don't want these guys to get their hands on." I explained. Ben and Luke ignite a pile of TNT that's sitting in front of the Warehouse.

Everyone escapes to the mountains and Layla and some guy appears from the burning underbrush. "Hello, Shasta. Did you miss me?" she asked, "Layla, why are you doing this?" I asked with worry, "I'm deep in love with you. I need you in my life!" Layla shouts, swinging her sword at me. We get into a duel with each other, swinging at one another and dodging each other's power attack.

"Layla, you must move on. I'm interested in someone else." I shouted, kicking Layla in the stomach. I take off running to the mountains, dodging arrows on the way up.

3rd Person POV:

"Soure's destroyed, I can't believe it... That place was our home!" Sadie shouted, "I know, it was my home too, Babe." Shasta replied, "Our forest is gone, what are we going to do?" Diana asked. Everyone starts to complain and swarms around Shasta, wanting to know what his next plan was.

Luke, Ben, and Steve that happen to be a few blocks away from everyone. Luke got a suggestion and smiled. "Hey, Shasta! I know a place that is secluded enough to where no-one will find us." Luke shouted. Everyone became quiet after hearing Luke's idea. "You do? Where?" Shasta asked, "Magnetic North. It's an Ice Plains couple of days travel from here, but close enough to take the village back." Luke informed. The wolf pups get excited about the suggestion.

"The place also has a few ravines and a couple large forests with Cows and Sheep." Steve added, "Hmm... That would be a good idea. Alright, show us the way." Shasta said, "Hey Shasta, want to hear one of our songs?" Ben asked, "Would love to!" Luna, Sadie, and Nixon said in sync. Shasta smiled, "Okay. Play away!" Shasta laughed.

Everybody starts on their journey up north to the isolated ice lands.

[Steve and Ben:]

The snow fell hard on a frozen sea
As the night swarmed all around
With no moon to guide or passage north
This corpse of mine may never be found

*Wolf pups start to dance to the music*

Thirty days, into this dead man's quest
In search of riches in a time-lost treasure chest
Through oceans never seen, through fog as thick as night
To the northern wastelands, onwards we must fight

*Some pack members try to sing along*

Far beyond the ice and snow
Our voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at Magnetic North

*The Wolfpack march through an open plains*

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

*They stumble upon an ocean*

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

*They find a massive abandoned ship that's sitting right next to the shore*

Hey!

*The pack piles in, releases the anchor, and sets sail*

Hey!

[Ben, Dave, Steve:]

Set the course for Magnetic North
Beyond the snow to Magnetic North
On the quest for Magnetic North

*The ship glides through the water at a quick speed and dolphins swim alongside the ship*

We will die at Magnetic North

[Luke:]

Sold a lie, condemned to die

*The wolves whimper and cover their ears from the loud singing and the dolphins swim away*

Empty promise encased in ice
One by one, our time has come
Death awaits before the sun

*The pups still whimper from the loud noise they were listening to*

[Ben, Dave, and Steve:]

The snow fell hard on a frozen sea
As the sun rose to the sky
Trapped forever in the sea of ice

*The weather gets colder and colder as they keep going, Splie's teeth chatter loudly*

This is the place where we will die

*Everyone begins to dance to the music again*

Far beyond the ice and snow
Our voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at Magnetic North

Far beyond the ice and snow
Our voyage carries on
For blood and gold, we sold our souls
Redemption lies at Magnetic North

[Everyone:]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

{Minecraftia 3/17/1275...}

[Ben, Dave, Steve:]

Set the course for Magnetic North
Beyond the snow to Magnetic North

*Icebergs are everywhere and Dave starts to go around them*

On the quest for Magnetic North
We will die at Magnetic North

*The ship reaches the ice plains shoreline*

Set the course for Magnetic North
Beyond the snow to Magnetic North

*The women and children of the Wolfpack leave the ship and the men unload the ship's equipment*

On the quest for Magnetic North
We will die at Magnetic North

========================================================

Splie's POV:

This place is so cold! My teeth are chattering and my skin is exposed to all of the snow that's falling. I wish we settled in a place that's a lot warmer, I guess I have to find something that's warm. "Splie, you okay?" Shasta asked, "It's cold!" I shouted, "Relax, Splie. Have my headdress." Shasta said, taking off his helmet, "Thanks, Shasta. Sorry about my attitude, I feel miserable in cold weather." I apologized.

"It's alright, buddy. Here, take this set of clothes I found on the ship." Shasta said, giving me a new outfit. This outfit has a thick brown leather jacket, black buttoned undershirt, soft vinyl pants, and gray boots.

I changed into the thick leather clothing and I feel so warm in them. "I feel much better now. Thanks!" I said with a smile. 

"Everyone, we need to seek for a cave system to spend the first few nights here. I know that we've lost loved ones and their death would not be in vain, this is our time to start a new life here in these harsh conditions. I promise you, we will fight back against our new enemy in the future." Shasta says, reassuring us and the wolf pack. Everyone heads over to the biggest cave close by and settles down inside.

Back at Gline...

Layla's POV:

"You what?!" Aafiq shouted, "Sir, if you let me explain..." Zack spoke, "Make this explanation worthwhile!" Aafiq interrupted, "We took their base they have been living in. We have a higher advantage to attack both the Wolves and the Mason Order." Zac explained, "I'm listening..." Aafiq calmly spoke.

Zack and Aafiq continue to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of capturing a fortified village in the middle of the forest. I shouldn't just stand around, I should capture Shasta! I love him! I need him! 

"What makes you think Shasta would return after we attacked his hideout?" I asked, "We don't..." Zac answered. I gave him an angry glare. 

"What do you mean you don't? You can't just expect me to stand here and wait for him to return. He's the man of my dreams! He can do things normal men can't do!" I complained, "How about this, my dear Layla. Go back and tend to your kingdom and if we have any sightings of your quote-on-quote dream man, I'll let you know." Aafiq said, calmly. "Fine. I'll do that... just don't kill him!" I replied, glaring at Zack Edgerton.

"I'm not scared of you. But, I promise you that'll catch Shasta and give him to you bound in heavy cuffs." Zac grinned, "Good, that's what I like to hear." I smirked as I walk away.
