Deep Purple - Chapter 4

Chapter 4-Friendship can bring you through hell and back but it's worth it.
I look at the figure standing in front of a village, I was on high alert, not everyone was friendly. The village looked somewhat familiar to my own but seemed more vibrant and friendly. I continued to observe but I realised very quickly I was in friendly territory. I slowly approached the figure but he saw me first, he game me a friendly wave so I picked up my pace. 'Hello there stranger', he said, 'Hello', I replied. 'Your not from these parts are you', I shook my head in response, we stood there awkwardly for a couple of minutes, I broke the silence with a question, 'um.. what's your name', 'Patrick' he replied in a friendly manner. 'Well Patrick, how did you get that hat?', I asked trying to be as causal and polite as possible, 'well you see those rabbits, wolves and spiders', I nodded my head, 'well if you kill them with you shiny gold sword -', 'Is that what the shiny yellow stuff is called', I exclaimed to loudly.'Yes that's what it's called', he said, trying to not make me look like an idiot, 'if you do kill them with your golden sword you can take their fur, string and meat'. Once Patrick finished his talk the cold returned and the sun begun to set, 'night is approaching do you wish to stay at my home for the night?' he asked, I replied with a steady nod.
 
Patrick's house was a small wood cottage on the edge of the village, 'you can sleep on the bed, you are my visitor' he said, 'but you don't deserve to sleep on the floorboards'
 
I woke up to the smell of delicious rabbit meat, 'that smells delicious', I said, 'I can agree on that one, for sure also do you want some', 'of course, thanks'. Both me and Patrick demolished the rabbit meat, 'so Patrick could you help me get a hat', 'sure, I haven't got much else to do', he replied. We grabbed some extra food and supplies for the road, when we stepped out Patrick said, 'see that black wolf over there', he pointed his finger towards the black shadow,'grab your golden sword and stab it, right through the eyes, I looked at the wolf for a couple of seconds and said,'ok-kk'. I slowly walked towards the wolf, it attacked first, I stood still and aimed my sword whilst the wolf charged. I heard the wolf bark in pain, I turned my head to the corpse, the sword went straight through the middle of the wolf's head, I turned to Patrick,'nice job rookie your only going to need to kill about twenty more if we are going to make everything. I looked at him with disbelief but he only nodded back at me.
 
We continued to walk around, I killed a couple more wolves. 'LOOK OUT', Patrick shouted, I looked up only to see a massive spider above me, I quickly ran back to Patrick. 'See those spiders', Patrick said as he pointed at another one of my fears,'we will need to kill the spider to get it's silk, so we may refine it into string, you will need to cut the head of the spider to kill it'. I looked at the spider hanging from the tree, it looked back at me, I edged myself forward towards the spider. I felt a massive web fall on me, I saw the spider crawl towards me, I swung my sword at the spider's head hoping to at least to push it away. I heard the scream of the spider, I already knew what had happened. We continued our adventure, I saw a pink rabbit in the distance and pointed it out to Patrick, 'we will need to kill this too', 'but why, it's just a cute rabbit' I said, 'do you want your hat or not'. I walked slowly to the rabbit and swiftly killed it.
 
Patrick and I spent the rest of the day killing animals to create my hat and eventually headed home. 'Patrick can you craft me a hat?', I asked, 'sure' replied Patrick. After 10 minutes Patrick came into my room and placed the hat on my bed, 'thanks Patrick', 'no problem, but you know what else we can create, a backpack and a book. 'What does the book do?', I questioned, 'We can write our recipes in it so we don't have to spend as much time crafting them'. Patrick and I spent another 10 minutes crafting two books and two backpacks and decided to sleep.
 
I woke myself up so I could say my thanks to Patrick and continue my adventure.'Patrick, thanks for all the help I'll be heading my way and you may head my way', I said as I was about to leave the cottage,'wait, I want you to go with me', replied Patrick,'Where and why'. 'My father went to the arctic on an adventure when I was young, he never returned', tears started to swell from Patrick's eyes,'I want you to come with me so that I may find my father or at least bury him', 'I will come with you Patrick', I replied, I decided not mention my own parents as it might sadden him furthermore.
 
Patrick and I walked our way over to the edge of the arctic, I placed my foot on the snowy edge and felt my temperature drop...
