Minecraft Sneak Peek · 7:23am Mar 16th, 2014
Strangely enough, listening to Fallout: Equestria does a fair good in helping me concentrate.
Have some Minecraft. Yes, I am working on it, now that midterms are over. And here it comes, the event you've all been waiting for...
The words died on her lips.
One...
The Miner eyed her curiously. No matter his thoughts concerning her, he realized something had distracted the bat pony. His guards were alert, but lazily relaxed. Shoddy soldiering.
Two...
A gust of wind brought in the scent of water on the wind. The wind was picking up, but nowhere near the gale it had been a week ago. Something was... off about the sound. The wind slashed at any loose fabric or miscellaneous objects too small to be held down by their own weight. The world around had slowed to a crawl. A fly was zooming around somewhere to her left. The Miner’s hand drifted to his mug at an excruciatingly slow rate.
Three...
FLASH!
BOOM!
Lightning rose to her hooves and exited where she entered. She grabbed the first officer she encountered, and truly the only one she had discovered: a lowly corporal with a ridiculous smile on his face. She wrenched his face to her own. He made a cry a protest, unprepared for the Lightning’s sudden antics. He opened his mouth, ready to make some cry of protest, but she was one step ahead of him.
“Gather the officers and command crew. Rouse the Captain and the Archmage. Tell them to prepare for an impending incursion.”
The corporal’s stupid brain parsed the orders with agonizing slowness. She flexed a wing and smacked her wing thumbs against his flanks. “Go!”
The clueless officer saw the rank insignia engraved on her helmet and gulped. She outranked him, and no matter his objections, he was given an order by a superior officer. Hesitantly, but fearful of the sudden outburst she expressed, ran a moment to gain enough momentum for flight.
Not bothering with him anymore, she ran back inside the mess hall. The Miner’s gaze was still upon her, growing apprehension on his face. “All of you slack-jawed maggots; I want your armor on and hooves down in two minutes. Return to your posts! This is not a drill!”
There was a sudden clatter of utensils and plates as the immediately got up and obeyed. It was a well-practiced organized chaos, something kept from boot camp that few ever lost. The hoofbeats were interspersed with the booms and flashes of lightning strikes. Lots of them.
“You made a mistake, white eyes...” She couldn’t help but smile to herself. There was nothing but overcast blackness in the skies. Out of all the places lightning could strike, none of them were outside the town or the outskirts.
She turned around, and for once in her life, was taken by surprise. The one strange thing she couldn’t explain was why a normally busy garrison was suddenly quiet. It wasn’t any longer; now the air was cut by commanding shouts and screams. The corporal didn’t have the time to do as ordered, but she had just spotted why a warning was raised so early.
Black mist was rolling across the ground in waves. Tendrils weaved between backpedaling legs and tents alike like some many-tendriled beast. Ponies feared touching the encroaching darkness as if the slightest touch would devour them whole. Lightning flashed again. The baleful white arc slashed through the air, but still did not illuminate the ground enveloped by the darkness.
She flung a hoof out and halted a hair short of breaking the Miner’s ribs. He had approached her and peered out of the tent to sate his curiosity and uncertainty, as had his guards. It was their duty to keep him out of trouble.
“Uruuuuuuughh...”
Lightning and the Miner moved in unison towards the noise, but whereas hers were carefully controlled preparation, his were a mixture of shock and fear. A ribbon of turquoise arced down his arm and into his palm. It coalesced for just a moment, and then elongated before hardening into a one-handed sword.
A few meters down the alley between tents was... well, it was something. Black sludge was pouring out of the ground in heaves. It clung to a flailing limb, one with several pieces of flesh hanging off the obviously exposed bones. Several other masses of flesh were stewing in the foul muck. A face, a disturbingly horrid and still somewhat familiar face, was staring right back at them. The creature groaned pitifully and lurched upward, freeing itself from the sludge. A bipedal creature slathered in much and clothed in torn wool lurched toward them.
Then came a sound that she would later know to haunt the Miner’s every waking moment. Lightning couldn’t help but be impressed; she considered herself an observant mare, even when her mind was focused on the creature in front of her. The sound stemming from behind her had surprised even her, and she couldn’t help but admire the quick reaction time of the Miner. He had dove straight for her, tackling her to the ground as the creature behind her gave a sound she would soon come to hate.
“Sssssssss....”

...wait.
Spoiler?
How come It wasn't in a spoiler for me?
I didn't know this site even supported spoilers!
1940541 Yeah, you can spoil things, and spoilers are allowed.

My preferred method is to just show you things completely out of context. It's more fun that way.
1940575 ah, so when is this chapter inbound, from the last published chapter, I sensed a return of foes both old and new. And if The Miner can craft non-vanilla items, are there going to be non-vanilla beasties?
