Chapter 1: Finally, we meet

"[Sigh.] Mom, why do we have to leave home again?" Sora asked. "To hide from Pillagers and restore orders of iron, or gold from them, and we HAVE to paint wood to look like gold or iron then angle it to look like a ingot." Mom explained. "But my old blocky school was much better. I won't have any more friends." Sora complained back. "Relax, Honey, you can swim whenever you want, and you can't get in Detention like at your old school." Mom guessed. "But--" Sora paused when her Mom started talking. "There it is, our Aquatic Outpost." Mom said proudly.

"But why do we have to go again?" Sora asked. "I think this is why she ALWAYS gets in detention." Whispered Mom.  When we got there, a

blue haired girl with a pink sweatshirt,

and a red dyed dress and bright yellow

shoes, and lastly, glimmering orange

eyes. When she saw Sora, her mouth 

dropped open and she gasped. She then

squealed. "YYYYYYYESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A

new friend! I'm Lucy. What's your name?"

The girl asked. "Uh...I, I'm Sora." Sora 

replied in a shy and anxious voice. "HI, Sora!" Lucy

squealed. Sora giggled. Then, a strange voice came

directly down the hallway. "Um, hello." The shy voice said. "I...I'm Kalam." The voice said again. "Brother!" Lucy exclaimed. "What happened in the ocean swimming? Where you inked by a squid, or attacked by a drowned zombie?" Lucy questioned. "Neither, I was attacked by JUST a normal zombie." Kalam replied. "Hmm. Strange." Sora mumbled. "Come up with suggestions." Lucy declared. Later on: "Maybe feed them?" Sora sked. "No, they eat brains." Lucy told her. "MY suggestion is to lure them out and splash them with a healing potion, because harming has the opposite effect on the bloodthirsty undead." Lucy chuckled. "Dab!" I yelled at the same time dabbing.b

"Perhaps we can kill them and then lure the other zombies with rotten flesh and then they will

get spiced to death." Kalam suggested.

"Uh...good plan!" Sora and Lucy shouted at

the same time. "Let's do it. But RIGHT

after I tell my Dad, Mason where I'm 

going." Kalam punned. Even Later: 

"Absolutely not! With your age?" Kalam's

Dad, Mason, shouted. "But, Dad! I am 

almost twelve!" Kalam whined. "No! Look at

the chart! You skip counted! Your only four!"

Mason bragged. Kalam held up a 

age-changer invention. He blasted himself. He turned 9.

Chapter 2: Hostile Mob Bait

"Fine, you can go, but PROMISE to turn yourself back into a 4 year old when it is all over.'' Mason admitted. "Okay." Kalam promised politely. Back in their "Base", Lucy predicted, "We need water breathing potions." "Yes, we do." Sora agreed. "Let's go." Kalam declared determinedly. "Remember, be safe and don't run into trident wielding drowned!" Mason warned. "But first," Sora began. "We need a squad name, maybe with a acronym?" She continued. "Just a squad name, no acronyms." Lucy greeted. "Okay." Sora replied.

"Then let's do the "White Quill Force"!" Kalam bursts. "Yes! Good enough name!" Lucy jumps up. "At least that settles it," Sora whispers. "Good, let's get going." She continues. "I'll go ask my Mom for some potions." Lucy persists. "OK." 

Kalam says. Later,

Lucy comes back

with 19 bottles 

filled with a potion of water

breathing. "Here, take one." Lucy urges in a nice tone of voice. When the trio get to the front of their own little "Ravine", they gulp down their potions. Swimming to investigate,  "This has to work." Kalam grunts.

"Look! A drowned!
