That was Easy
Jason's POV
Holy Notch. That's the one thought coursing through my head as we drive closer and closer to the Butter Kingdom.
The place is absolutely huge. The Snow Kingdom pales in comparison (Sorry, Olivia :P).
Instead of snow golems, we can just spot players completely decked out in butter armor, swords at the ready, stationed around the walls that enclose the kingdom.
The whole thing must be at least ten chunks, width and length.
That's twenty chunks of ground, the nerd inside me says.
Shut up, I tell it.
We pull up to the gates, and two players in enchanted butter armor stop us.
"Who goes there?" one asks, his grip tightening on his sword.
Sky gulps. "Umm, I'm Sky, and this is-"
"Hold it." The soldier interrupts. "Did you say you were....Sky?" Sky looks confused. "Yeah, why?"
The soldier's eyes widen. "They...they said it would happen, they said it...."
"Excuse me, erm, sir," I raise my hand tentatively. "What's going on?"
The soldier stops mumbling to himself, and looks straight at me. "Why, don't you know?" He looks at me sharply. "This guy is the next King."
*****************************************
Sky's POV
We get into the kingdom with no problem after that.
It's strange, riding through the kingdom like this. People stare, point, and whisper. One is so close I can hear him: "That's him."
I smile, but mostly I ignore them. I'm here for a reason.
I notice a lot about the kingdom. Everyone has a sword by their side. We pass a training ground, which is at least two chunks big. All types of people, from age four to age seventy are training.
Another thing I notice is that not many people are here. I see around thirty grown ups, and about sixty kids, older and younger than me, running around. Why is the place so underpopulated?
We pull into the castle, and I jump out of the wagon, as my friends pile out of the back.
"We made it!" Ty yells, and grins. Macey, oops, Red keeps Lily and Josh close to her, and they're all looking around in awe.
"So, this is the Kingdom. You think they got any Betties?" Jerome mused.
"Woot! Biggums, did you see the training grounds? We're gonna kick some squid butt!" Mitch yelled triumphantly, and accidentally knocked Jerome down.
"Come on, guys." I said, and slowly walked toward the doors, scared to death of what was waiting for me on the other side. What if it was my dad?
My mom never talked about my dad. The only thing she ever told me was that she had never met someone like him.
"He was an important man, Sky." She would tell me. "I loved him very much." "Then why is he gone?" I would ask. "You shouldn't ask questions that have no answers, Sky."
I shake my head, pushing the memory out of my mind. I needed to concentrate.
Two soldiers blocked our path. One tightened his grip on his sword. "Who in the Nether are you, and what do you want?"
The other soldier looked up. "Let him pass." Soldier Number One looked surprised. "What? But-"
"He-" Soldier Number Two pointed straight at me, and I became very interested in the ground. Look at that, the floor is chiseled stone!
"-is supposed to be here."
Soldier Number One looked bewildered. "But, sir, he's like, six!"
"Seven, actually." Jerome corrected.
"Let. Them. Pass."
Soldier Number One reluctantly opened up the gates, and we walked inside the castle walls.
The place was huge, and made completely out of butter. Butter stairs, butter doors, butter walls, butter floors, you name it.
Mitch whistled. "Something about this place screams: Sky."
Red snorted a laugh, and I smiled. "No kidding."
I spotted a soldier run up a butter staircase, and I got a bad feeling in my stomach that I couldn't explain.
"So, what should we do now?" Ty asked, confused.
"We warn them about the squids." Ssundee said, shaking slightly. I nodded. "And ask if we can help to recruit people to the army."
Suddenly, I spotted a player descending the staircase. Actually, I didn't notice him by myself. Red elbowed me in the ribs.
"Ow!" I yelped.
The only thing I could focus on was the fact that he looked a lot like me. Except I didn't have blue eyes that stared into my soul.
I shuddered. This guy was creeping me out.
He stopped at the bottom of the staircase, and smiled. "What is the news to need to warn this kingdom about? Someone start talking, please."
I nudged Jason forward. What? I wasn't that great with words. He gave me a dirty look, but started to talk.
*****one really long explanation later****
"So, sir, we need some help with the squid issue." Jason finished.
I was busy looking at my shoes. Jason hadn't left out the part where I was supposed to be king or whatever, and I didn't want to offend this guy.
If this guy was king right now, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want some seven year old barging in saying that he was king.
I looked up slightly, scared of his reaction.
Instead of looking angry, confused, or ready to throw us in a mental hospital, he was nodding.
"Yes, you can definitely help the army here. We have plenty of space."
He turned and looked at me, and the floor became fascinating again. "I can't let you be king right now, because you're seven and all, but I can let you be General of the army, if you want."
I looked up, surprised. "Really, sir?"
He smiled. "Why not? You're obviously capable, if what this guy tells me is true."
Passing out at the sight of zombies and almost getting killed by a bacca. I don't think that's very "capable", but I don't want to argue with this guy.
"O-ok." I stuttered, still in shock.
"Then it's settled. We'll give you some land for the base. Good luck with the recruiting!" He walked back up the stairs, and was gone.
Mitch sighed. "Well, that was easy."
"Yeah, does someone have an Easy button?" Jerome muttered. I looked at him, confused. "What do you mean?"
Jerome looked at the ground. "That guy creeps me out."
I laughed. "Yeah, he kinda creeps me out too. Come on, guys, we've got people to recruit."
