Bytes: Dawn of the Apocalypse

The rays of the cubical sun creeped through the holes of the shelter, brightening the day and waking the people up.

Jeana stretched out her arms, yawning, then slowly rose from her "bed".

Hunter, on the other side, hadn't woken up since he was too tired after the chain of events that happened last nights.

"Rise and SHINE, Hunter!" Jeana yelled, pulling Hunter up and instantly waking him up.

Jeana released her grip, making Hunter - who just woke up - fall back down sitting. He wiped his half-open eyes, still not very eager to wake up.

"Ngrrrfhh.." Hunter mumbled some gibberish.

"We're going to my friend's house. She might be able to help," Jeana said. "It's not too far from here," she added.

"Alright, let's go," Alexis agreed.

The two destroyed a block and went outside the shelter with Murray, leaving Hunter behind.

They untied their horses and rode them, stopping by Hunter, who was getting ready.

"Wait up, guys! You can't be going without me!" Hunter exclaimed.

Hunter got on his feet quickly, then ran outside the shelter, his elbow bumping hardly onto the wall.

"Argh!" he grunted frustratedly, then jumped on his unleashed horse.

"Let's go!" Alexis chimed spiritedly.

"I'll lead the way!" Jeana shouted.

The Husks traversed the desert, again. North they headed (is that grammatically correct), still in the path to Milfay.

Finally, they reached the end of the desert, Jeana being the first to step out of the last block of sand. Her horse was the one who did, to be precise.

"We should be close," Jeana stated, looking at the vague figure of a city in the distance. She then turned back towards the desert, with a look that seemed to say "I'm glad we got away from there".

"Keep heading forwards, guys, her house is in the edge of the town," she added.

Their horses kept marching forwards fearlessly, never quivering from the heat of the desert or the hunger for food.

Several minutes later, they arrived at the small town amidst the wilderness of Minecraft, a town called Angosto.

Angosto was not quite modern or wealthy. Some houses were made of wood, cobblestone, or clay... Basic materials, uncomparable to the modern city of Starid.

But this town also had its own uniqueness. It had the most creative use of stairs, despite the limitations of the builds they could afford.

The distinct art of its traditional architecture could be seen anywhere in the town, from the decorative gateways to the fancy rooftops.

Sadly, because of the numerous use of wooden stairs, the number of trees nearby has been quite depressing.

The Husks had gotten down from their horses and stationed them in a place near the town, using the fences they had.

"Follow me," Jeana ordered.

The remaining three trailed from behind, Hunter rubbing the wound he got from the arrow last night.

Meanwhile, Alexis had immersed into his own world of wonders, only caring about the inspirative architecture and the creative use of wooden stairs.

I'd include some of those, and those... And that one over there... For my future house! he thought, taking inspiration from various builds that stood proudly in the town.

"Sky, are you there?" Jeana called, banging on the oaken doors of one of the houses.

"Coming!" a voice replied.

It can't be....

Sky...? But that can only be...

The doors burst open with a cheerful person welcoming her.

"Skylar!" Jeana gasped and chirped as she saw her friend, that she hadn't visited long ago, opening the door for her.

Trollface.

Plus, I already mentioned a "her" a few times before.

"Long time no see, Jean!" she greeted Jeana with an open-hearted smile.

Alexis was instantly mesmerized by her pretty smile, he then ignoring all the admiration of the builds.

"Where's your brother?" Jeana asked, not holding her smile after she saw an old friend.

"Oh, he works in Starid now. He designs really cool newspapers!" she explained.

Alexis had just felt attracted to this girl, but quickly felt a deep feeling of guilty. For the hundredth time, he remembered the incidents again, but tried his best to hide it.

What an unpleasant coincidence there.

[Author's Note]
Sorry I hadn't been uploading pictures for the story recently.

...Actually, I'm too lazy to do it, haha.

And I certainly had fun with my cousins. Sorry for not updating.

[Fun Fact]
I have a reason for naming every single name in this book. Does anyone speak Spanish here?

I wonder what the name of the small town means...

If you know, don't spoil it, since it's weird.
