//------------------------------// // Day 45 (Red Castle) // Story: Ponycraft Saga - Book 2: Burning Ocean // by Onyx Glitch //------------------------------// //----------------------------- // Day 45 (Red Castle) //----------------------------- I finally came across something interesting. It was the ruins of an enormous castle constructed from a deep red brick. Nether Brick Made from Netherrack. It loses its trait of burning forever, in exchange for the impressive resilience to explosive damage. I spent a fair amount of time exploring the castle most of it was destroyed and there were no inhabitants there must have been some kind of war in the Nether, because the damage here looks more forced and not random. I found a large room I assume it was once the throne room. Behind a partially broken chair I found a door that opened up to a balcony which overlooked several other castles, all but one I could see was in ruins that has to be my destination. It looks like it might take a while to get to the other castle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This occurred as soon as I exited the castle //----------------------------- // Day 45 (Living Lava) //----------------------------- On my way to the other castle I came across a group of monsters. I stayed out of sight and skimmed through the lore for the strange monsters. Magma Cube Comes in various sizes and is similar to slimes in its way of surviving death. Unlike slimes Magma Cubes are more hostile and when they attack it burns. As I finished reading the lore I felt a sharp pain in my flank. I turned around to see one of the smaller cubes had snuck up behind me and proceed to jump up and down on my tail lighting it on fire. I quickly reached into my bag and poured the last of my water onto my tail and then began to beat the magma cube with a block of netherrack. As soon as I finished doing that the rest of the cubes noticed my presence and began to make their way towards me, i managed to escape... I'm still tearing up from the pain.
