  “What if he never comes?” I asked. I needed to know that the other monsters would be helped. I needed to be certain that the hero would come, that he would save the day, defend the weak, teach the adventurers to live in harmony. How could I be certain?

  “Then you must find him and remind him of his mission,” my father said with a smile. “That is a task fit for a young zombie. That is the way that you can help the world, my son.”

  “But I do not know where to even begin looking for him,” I groaned.

  “I’ve heard rumors that he lives in the Nether.” Father smiled.

  “Where did you learn that?” I asked.

  My father laughed with a slow rhythm. “I may have asked the Enderman that I met the other day. Just in case,” he smiled.
