Chapter 53
*(Y/N) P.O.V.*
We waited for about an hour before Quentin and Ian finally appeared at the front on their horses. "QUIET" they both yelled at the same time causing everyone to shut up instantly.
"We will be leaving in just a minute, we'll be starting with group seventy-five and ending with group one. We just need to pack a few extra supplies before we get going." Quentin finished. They walked off, probably to make sure everything they would need got packed and everyone resumed talking. After about ten minutes the first groups began to leave. Quentin was leading in the front while Ian waited to bring up the rear. After about fifteen minutes our leader Mark began to ride his horse towards the exit, everyone in our group followed him of course.
Ian pulled up next to Mark and the two began to talk leaving the other soldiers in our group to talk with each other. Noah, Chim and I talked among ourselves since we didn't know anyone else in our group. Including us there were eight people in our group. Mark, two red haired girls who seemed to be twins, a guy who appeared to be in his early twenties with blonde hair and green eyes, an even younger guy who looked to be eighteen or nineteen with brown hair and eyes and of course us three.
I was still a bit worried about Herobrine, how could I not be? He's been out to kill me for so long, if he finds out I'm out of the Kingdom it may end badly for us all. I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around quickly to see the other four people in our group looking at me. "Aren't you a bit young to be here?" One of the girls asked. I wasn't exactly sure about how to explain but thankfully Noah answered for me.
"We have a deal with the King and part of the deal was that we have to help fight in this battle." Noah said.
"Why would she have to fight though? She's what? Twelve?" The younger guy asked.
"I'm eleven" I answered.
"And it's confidential information so I'm afraid we can't say much more than we already have" Noah said apologetically.
The others began to talk quietly amongst themselves. I could hear small bits of their conversation though "Why would the son of Herobrine make a deal with King Dan? It doesn't make sense are they working together or something?" A male voice asked.
"Yeah and why the nether would an eleven year old have to fight in this battle anyway? She probably doesn't even know how to fight" The other guy responded. I tensed up a bit at this, I hate when people underestimate me because of my age. I decided to tune out of the conversation and began to talk with Noah and Chim instead.
After a few hours we stopped for lunch, I was still getting some weird looks, especially from the other members in our group. Dried meals began to get handed out, they were pretty bad but they still tasted better than the stuff they served for lunch in the Nether. As our group was eating Mark approached Noah, Chim and I. "Attention!" He yelled to our group causing everyone to turn his attention to him. "I figured I would have you introduce yourselves to each other so lets start with you" He said pointing at one of the red haired girls.
"I'm Crimson" She said simply keeping it short.
"I'm Joyce" Her sister said "And if you couldn't tell we're twins" She said before getting back to her meal.
"I'm Troy" The older guy said.
"I'm Chris" The younger guys said.
Noah went next "I'm Noah" he said simply.
"I'm Chim" My brother said.
"Chim? I've never met a Chim before"
"Well Chim is just a nickname, my real name is Jake" he responded.
"I'm (Y/N)" I said "And Chim is my brother".
"Okay great you all talk with each other and I'm going to go do some work, and don't forget you and me are fighting the next time we stop." Mark said pointing at me before walking away.
We began to talk with each other once again still in our own groups, after a half hour Quentin and Ian announced it was time to go and we all got onto our horses once more before heading closer to The Emerald Kingdom. This time almost no one spoke, as the sun began to set we stopped and began to set up camp for the night. I was excited, I love proving people wrong.
Once our group was set up for the night we had dinner and waited for Mark. It seemed that the other people in our group wanted to see this go down too. The more the merrier I suppose. Finally, after another five or so minutes Mark showed up in full Diamond armor and two enchanted swords in hand. "Crimson, Joyce and (Y/N) get ready!" He called as he neared us.
Surprised the twins asked "Why do we have to get ready?"
"Because you're going to be fighting her first, I don't want to waste my time fighting her if you can beat her now go!" he yelled. I grabbed my chain armor from my bag and grabbed my two swords and bow as well before heading towards the open space where Mark was waiting on the sides.
"Isn't it a bit unfair that she'll be going up against both of us?" Crimson asked.
"I don't really care so go to your sides ladies!" Mark shouted. We did as he asked as a crowd appeared on the sidelines.
"Now Joyce and Crimson you get a choice" Mark Shouted so they could hear him. "You can choose to let her use her magic for this fight or not. So what will it be" The two whispered to each other as they tried to decide.
"This should be pretty easy so let her use her magic to give her a small chance." Joyce responded cockily.
"Alright then, theres a respawn system so don't hold back!" Why would they bring a respawn system? You're not allowed to use it for wars, anyone who did was forced to face Notch's Wrath and no one survived that. "In three, two, one, FIGHT!" Mark yelled.
The two charged at me, I grinned this should be fun. Just as they were about to hit me I teleported behind them taking them by surprise and aiming for Crimsons back. Joyce blocked my blade just before I would of hit her and Crimson whipped around to try and shoot me with her bow. I easily deflected the arrow with my sword though and retaliated with a huge fire ball which I threw right at them. I saw a huge black forcefield go up meaning Noah summoned it since he used black magic. The two narrowly dodged the fireball at lunged at me. I stepped to the side and put a spell on my sword so the next thing I hit with it would be teleported to a location of my choosing before clashing swords with Joyce causing her sword to teleport outside of the I forcefield. With no way to defend herself I easily sliced her head off killing her.
That left Crimson and I, I rushed towards her but once I was halfway to her I teleported behind her and stabbed her in the back ending the fight. I saw the forcefield break and noticed everyone staring at me with a mixture of fear and respect. Suddenly I heard clapping I looked toward the sound to see Mark "Well done, but now it's my turn" He said with a grin.
