"Honey, eat first, then you can do your research or whatever," Alex said.

Steve and Alex, a young couple, lived in a little house in a forest called Swamplands.

"Okay. I just want to see what is out there. I don't like it here. If we find a village, we'll live there," Steve said hopefully.

"If we don't, than we can upgrade this house," Alex said.

After Steve finished his dinner, he grabbed his coat and went out the door. Alex looked out the window and saw Steve hustle into the trees.

******

In the dark forest, Steve was walking with hands in pocket. This is his 3rd day searching for a village.

He came to a spot where there were three paths. He already searched two of the paths, so today he was going down the other one.

Then he heard something.

Steve immediately froze. He looked left, nothing, then right. There he saw a flash of white. (Heh, rhyme.) Steve was about to bolt back when he heard another sound.

It sounded like panting.

Right after he thought that, a wolf came on the path.

"Oh, hello wolf, how is your day?" Steve joked.

"Oh, its fine."

"WHAT THE NETHER!" Steve shrieked.

That voice came from the dog. But then Steve realized that the dog was longer than usual. The dog stood up and Steve realized it was a human dressed as a wolf.

" 'Ello. I am a villager." Said the villager. He had a voice that sounded like Patrick the Starfish.

"You seem lost," he said.

"Oh, I'm not lost. Do you live in a village?"

"Well, duh. I'm a villager."

"Can you take us there?" Steve asked eagerly.

The villager looked behind him. "There is only one of you. Are there more?"

"Oh, yeah. I need to get to Alex."

BOOM!

Steve and the villager fell to the ground. "Run!" Steve yelled.

They were sprinting through the forest. Steve looked up and saw some circles in the sky.

UFOs.

Steve and the villager arrived at the hut.

But it was in ruins

"Alex! Alex!" A UFO was coming down to the ground.

BAM!

This wasn't the UFO. It sounded like a gunshot. The flying ship jolted.

BAM!

Another shot. Then another. After a 4th shot, the UFO was retreating.

Steve looked around and saw Alex with a hunting rifle. He sighed with relief.

"You alright?" Steve and Alex said in unison.

"Who's the villager?" Alex asked.

Steve looked at him. "Who are you?"

"Oh, my name is Seth. Seth Harding. I'll take you to my village and see what we can do."

"Yeah, let's get the nether out of here," said Alex.

******

"Here it is!" Seth exclaimed. "Welcome to Dullsville."

They saw a village with a lot of houses and buildings. Three watchtowers were looming over the village with up to 4 stories. A crowd of villagers were standing around. The one in front hustled over to them.

"Are you okay?" The man asked with concern. He had a crisp voice. "Something was attacking the forest."

"We're fine, Ted. I found these two when I was hunting. Their house was destroyed. They can live with us right?"

Ted looked over Steve and Alex. "I'll tell the construction crew. Come along."
