Three Years Later

Sky's POV

It's been three years. I've learned to survive, teaching Deadlox along the way. I run out of our cave, ready to start hunting.

I've got my trusty budder sword by my side, as always. I've been fascinated with budder for a while, it's just so MAJESTIC!

"Come on, Deadlox!" I call. "Coming! A four year old Deadlox races out of the cave.

Tonight we're celebrating his fifth birthday, so I decided to take him hunting with me, so he can pick his own birthday dinner.

I can't wait to give him his present. It took me forever to make. I grin as he hops over to me, his too-big armor making him trip and fall.

I help him back up, an he grins back at me. "Hey, don't do dis!" I smile as I say our catch phrase we came up with last year. He laughs.

"So, what are we hunting for dinner tonight?" He asks. "Well, I think you should pick tonight, since it's your birthday."

His jaw drops, then turns into the biggest smile I've ever seen. "Pork chops! I want pork chops!" He yells, bouncing around. He really likes pork chops.

"Woah! Slow down, what are you, a spider?" I joke. He stops bouncing and smiles. "Okay, pork chops it is." I say. "YAY!" Deadlox yells.

We start walking towards the forest, ready to get some pork chops on our hands. I spot a pig, and I show Deadlox. "Go get him." I say.

He looks at me, wide-eyed. "Really?" He whispers. I nod, and he sneaks after the pig. He kills it in three hits, and holds up his prize.

Two pork chops. I smile and walk over to him. "Nice job, buddy!" He smiles. "Anything else on your birthday menu?" I ask.

Deadlox's POV

"Bread! Bread!" I yell. Sky smiles. "We've got that at home. Let's go." He says. Yeah, it's getting dark. Dark is when the monsters come out.

We start walking home, and as soon as we get inside, monsters start to spawn. Sky cooks my birthday dinner, and sends me into my room to play.

After a while, he calls me back out to the main living space. I gasp when I walk through the door. A big banner that reads, "Happy Birthday Deadlox!" hangs above the door. A jukebox is playing my favorite song. The dinner I picked out is sitting on the table. A present sits in the corner.

Sky is standing next to the table. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I yell, and give him the biggest hug ever. "Your welcome, buddy." He smiles. "Let's eat!"

After our dinner, Sky hands me the present. 'Here you go, Deadlox." He smiles. I eagerly tear the wrapping off and open the box. Inside lies..headphones!

"Woah!" I say. The rims and headband are made of obsidian. A microphone is connected to the headphones using more obsidian.

But, the thing that makes them really cool are the glowing emeralds on the speakers. I eagerly put them on, and adjust the headband.

"Thanks, Sky! I'm never taking them off!" He laughs. "Glad to hear it! Happy birthday!" I smile.
