Chapter Three
Pecon
Redconer blinked. Before him was a girl. Not really a girl but a... fascinating girl.
Her eyes were are stunning gray shade, as if to pierce right through his body. She was clearly fit, wearing cloth shirt, tight jeans, a black vest, and several daggers on her leather belt. In other words, she was stunningly beautiful.
Her beautiful blonde hair fluttered in the wind as she bent down, picked up her knife erected out of Maxis' back, cleaned the blood off her pants, and stuck it back in it's sheath. She looked around. Other Blockheads will still starting at the girl and Redconer.
She kicked Maxis. "You didn't answer my question." She said.
"Yeah uh." Redconer was still gaping in awe. "What was it?"
The girl rolled her eyes. "I asked what you were doing."
Redconer got up. "Trying to get myself killed of course." Brushing himself off.
"Yeah well you do a mighty fine job at it." She turned around and walked away.
Redconer ran up to her, walking beside her. "What were
you doing?"
"Saving your ass." She said, turning left, still walking across the road.
"Yeah uh, thanks." He said, thinking of what to say. "Where are you going?"
"Does it matter?" She asked, turning across another road, not slowing down.
"Well yeah, I just helped you–"
"No, I saved
your ass. Not mine." She came up to a nice wooden house much like the other ones on the side of the road. She opened the door and walked inside. Redconer helped himself and walked right inside to.
The house smelled old and musty. There was a table with candles and ancient books surrounding this old man, reading a book. Other candles and shrines were around the room. Despite the mustiness, Redconer began to get quite chilly.
"What are you doing in here now?" The girl asked, her beautiful eyes staring right into his.
"Well, since you just saved my life and all," Redconer said. "I'd at least get to know your name."
She resisted the urge to slap him. "I'm am Princess Pecon the third. And no– I don't need to know your name."
Redconer leaned up against the wall. "Yeah. Well I'm Redconer Kiritak the second. What are all these books for?"
Pecon glared at him. "It's none of your buisness. They are just w–"
"Oh Pecon my girl! Have you found your companion?"
Pecon face palmed. Redconer almost doubled over.
"No, Grandpa, how many times do I have to tell you I'm going
alone." She said. "This guy– uh, Redconer was just leaving." Pecon glared at him.
The old man frowned, his glasses almost falling off his nose. He shut his book and put it down on the table. "But I told you! It's too dangerous."
"Too dangerous for what?" Asked Redconer, curious.
"Oh!" Exclaimed Grandpa. "Well–"
"Grandpa, you don't need to–" Pecon tried to cut him off, no use.
"In these legendary books you see," The old man picked up the book he was reading, and wobbled over to Redconer, flipping through pages. He stopped at one page, on the front of it was a sepia picture of a brick. "You can't see it very well, but this is the Golden Brick.
Legend says that it was forged by the very tools that created Blockland, our world. It was made from the Hammer, the Wrench, and the Wand. King Badspot and Lord Shadows fused the tools together, and that created the Golden Brick.
It also says that the Golden Brick has many powers, many good powers, if used in the right hands obviously. And if it is obtained, it could have positive or negative power you see.
We believe that the Golden Brick has enough power to defeat Lord Tony from the land!
So Pecon, my girl, was going to go to an old friend of mine, and they would go and try and retrieve the Golden Brick!" Said Grandpa, nodding. "You see?"
Redconer blanky looked at the old man. "Ok. So finding this Golden Brick is going to defeat Lord Tony right?" Grandpa nodded.
"Of course it is you dimwit." Pecon said, face palming again.
Redcorner ignored her. "So what happens when we, or, whoever gets the golden brick and kills Lord Tony get?"
The old man rubbed his beard. "Well–"
"Lots of riches?" Redconer winked.
Pecon banged her head against the wall.
"Yes well–" The old man blinked.
"OK! I'm in." Redconer exclaimed, clapping his hands. "When do we start?" The old man blinked.
"Do I really have to take
him?" Pecon said, rolling her eyes. "He can't even save himself from guys in yellow suits."
"Well Princess Pecon, today's your lucky day."
Thanks guys! Sorry Chapter 3 took so long. Still planning on what to do for the story.
