//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 : A New Friend // Story: Pony Minecraft // by LoveEspeon //------------------------------// Twilight's mouth opened wide in shock. Villagers were named after their jobs! So, why was this particular unicorn named differently? And why was her cutie mark different? Artemis noticed and flattened her ears. "Yes, I see you notice. I am anything but the same as normal villagers," she said, then turned around and began sharpening her arrow. "But tell me, Princess. What are you doing in here? And why do you lack of a server thread when you are a user?" Artemis pointed above Twilight's head, indicating the lack of the server thread that connected users to the Source; a place where all the codes of Minecraft were kept. It was a green beam of light stretching up to the sky. But since Twilight had spelled herself inside the server, the thread somehow vanished. Twilight noticed the confusion in Artemis' eyes. But the strangest thing was the sadness merged with the confusion. Something had happened to the blue unicorn, and Twilight had a feeling she wouldn't be telling her any time sooner. "Well, I used a spell to magic me and my friends in here. And Herobrine caught them. Can you help?" At the mere mention of Herobrine, Artemis stiffened. She turned around to face Twilight, fear and anger burning within the cyan depths. "Have you lost your mind?! Herobrine is nearly impossible to defeat!!!" she spat. Twilight noticed that the unicorn's eyes were burning with that peculiar sadness. She waited until Artemis calmed down until she finally spoke again. "But...you say he has captured your friends? Then he most likely would be torturing them by now. If so, we need to hurry," she mused. "Come on. I'll take you to my hut." The blue unicorn turned and galloped off, glancing back to see if Twilight was following. She was, and Artemis led the way to a small hidden clearing. It was camouflaged behind a thick wall of brambles, reinforced with a two block thick wall. As they raced in, Twilight noticed the brambles created a dome around the hut. It was the exact colour of the forest; Twilight could barely see it. Artemis opened the doors and motioned for Twilight to come in. In the hut, Artemis asked Twilight to sit down while she poured some milk from the cows outside. Soon they were drinking milk while Twilight explained everything that happened so far. Artemis' eyes filled with fear, fury and concern for Twilight and her friends...and at Herobrine for capturing them to spite Twilight. "So.....he did it out of spite. Typical for a pony like him.." muttered Artemis while she sent the empty glasses into the kitchen. She slid off the chair. "Wait there a moment." She trotted into a heavily guarded room and came out later. She reached into her inventory and threw four items at Twilight. Twilight caught them and stared at the beautiful cyan surface with iridescent purple waves flowing off it. "Thanks for the enchanted diamond armour, but what about-" Twilight was interrupted when Artemis threw her an enchanted sword and bow. "What about you?" Artemis grinned for a moment before pulling out another set of enchanted armour. She put them on, unsheathed her enchanted sword and slung her quiver over her back. Twilight stared. "Where...how...." "I enchanted at least 5 sets of armour and at least 6 weapons," answered Artemis, pointing to the room. As Twilight squinted, she could make out an enchanting table and 3 sets of full enchanted armour on 3 armour stands. Artemis grinned again. "Like my display?" Twilight nodded and grinned. Artemis returned the grin. "Now lets go get your friends back and kick Herobrine's plot."
