"We're lost, aren't we?"

"Well, at least we know what world we're in."

Sky looked around at the trees. "True, can't deny it."

"Uh question."

"Yeah Jerome?" Bajan said.

"If the Minecraft world is infinite, we can walk in one direction for eternity and not know."

We all stopped instantly.

"Crap, he's right," Bajan said.

"Well there's our happy thought for the day," I agreed.

Bajan sighed. "We don't really have any other choice but to keep walking in the same direction."

"If anyone sees a large castle on the horizon, just shout," Sky joked.

We kept walking, watching the sun and our tracks to make sure we were heading straight. The day wore on and the sun reached its highest point and started to set. When it was halfway through its downward curve, I started to admit defeat. We had missed Entity's castle. We had no idea where we are or where we had come from or where the heck Herobrine was. We were, for lack of a better word, screwed.

The boys stopped in front of me, forcing me to stop too. I peeked over their shoulders, trying to see why we had stopped. In front of us was a man with a horse. They seemed to be camping, the horse tied to a tree and the man sitting down next to it, eating an apple. He was talking quietly to the horse, although the horse didn't respond. I looked closer at the man. He wore a blue shirt, purple pants, had brown hair, and he looked a lot like...

"Herobrine?" Bajan asked.

The man looked around, standing up. He saw us and was instantly confused. His eyes were not glowing white like Herobrine's. Instead, they were the same purple-blue as his pants.

"Steve?" Jerome asked.

The man looked even more shocked. "Uhhh...... hi."

"Can't do this, I'm out," Sky said in a sarcastic tone, walking off. "Bye guys, I'll see you later, bye Steve!"

"Sky, come back here!" Sub said, grinning.

Steve did a double take as Sky came back, obviously hearing Sub's voice but he decided not to question it. "Uh, few questions. Who are you, how do you know who I am, how have I not seen you before and where did you come from?"

"Oh, right," Bajan said. "Well, I'm Bajan, that's Jerome, the dude who walked off is Sky, Sub does mind-speech and Riley's at the back there. We kinda come from a different world, so that's why you haven't seen us before and we know you from that world."

"You're kind of a celebrity," Sky added.

Steve looked shocked but let it slide. "So... how did you come here?"

"This is actually the third time we've come here," Jerome said. "The first time, Herobrine brought us and this time and the last time, we brought ourselves here."

"Wait, Herobrine brought you here?"

"Yeah. Well, the first time at least."

Steve looked excited now. "Do you know where he is?"

We looked at each other. Sky answered for us. "Well, we assume that he's at Entity's castle but..."

"Entity's castle? Why?!"

Jerome sighed. "We need to fill you in on some stuff."

We sat down at Steve's temporary camp and Bajan and Jerome filled Steve in on what had happened, with Sky adding details every now and then. Steve looked more and more troubled the longer Bajan talked.

"So we have a problem," he summed up when Bajan finished.

"In essence, yes."

"The only thing I'm struggling with is why Herobrine lost his memory but Entity didn't," Sky said.

"I might be able to help with that one," Steve said. "Herobrine was generated by the game itself. His code is like the code of everything else. And like all the other code, his code doesn't possess a memory storage. So when the game was recreated, his memory storage must have been wiped clean."

"Then how do you still remember?" I asked.

"Well I was created by Notch, so my code is slightly different to everything else. My code does have a memory storage. Same with my kids."

"You have kids?!" Bajan asked.

"Yeah. Don't ask how."

"How do you know all that?"

"I have no idea," Steve answered honestly. "It might be because Notch created me, so I just know a bit more about how the world works."

"Okay then, how does Entity remember?" Jerome asked.

"Oh, that's easy. Entity hacked himself into the game originally, and I bet that's what he did this time too. His code doesn't even remotely resemble the game's code, so when the world code was erased, he just lost his access to the game."

"But Herobrine said it would erase Entity," I said quietly.

"You can't erase Entity unless you erase the place where he came from. And I have no idea where that is."

"So Herobrine won't remember anything? Ever?" I asked.

Steve considered this. "He might. His code has to be slightly different to the game's code after all. Maybe his memory could be triggered somehow."

"It would be easier if we knew where his castle was," Sky said.

"I know where it is!" Steve exclaimed. "I accidentally found it while I was finding my way home."

"Could you take us there?" Bajan asked.

"Sure! If we get moving now, we'll just make it before dark."

Hey everyone! Before you start raging, I can promise that in the next chapter, we'll see what Herobrine's up to. And we may be seeing something that was mentioned way back in the first book >:3
