Steve watched as the demi-god pushed the creature to move faster and it's four hooved feet gladly obliged. The thundered on the ground as they moved quickly around the mansion and over the fences that had been set up for them. Herobrine was a natural though the human had found it funny watching the warrior try and tame the creature only to be thrown off several times. Finally the two seemed to get bore and slowed their pace to a trot, going over to the miner who was watching them.

The long legs made the creature better suited for riding then any pig, which also meant it, could run faster, farther and jump higher then a pig as well. Steve also found that the best part was you didn't have to hold a carrot in front of its face just for it to go in the direction you wanted it to. The miner was still nervous though about them and he was almost sure that they could sense his fear, that and it didn't help that Notch had told them that there were still bugs that needed to be worked out.

"Your turn." Steve looked up as Hero stopped the creature next to him, its pure white fur and mane blew in the wind. The Miner looked down at his own creature its dark brown fur and mane a contrast to Hero's. "Steve the horse is tame, it will more throw you off." The demi-god sighed and looked at the miner. "Just take him around the mansion, it is fun." Steve looked down at the reins in his hands and bit into his lip unsure if he should, though Hero had tamed the horse for him, he was still nervous. "Just go Steve."

The miner took a deep breath before he snapped the reins. The horse took off at full speed and Steve felt his hair whip around his face. The horse sped towards the first fence and the human found himself unsure as to what to do. The fence got closer and closer and the horse only seem to speed up making the miner a little more fearful. Steve closed his eyes tightly as they came upon the fence. There was a moment of silence before the thumping of the gallop continued. Steve opened his eyes and looked back to see that they had cleared the fence. He let out a laugh as he looked forward once more patting the side of the brown horse as all his fear faded.

Herobrine watched as Steve went around the mansion a few times quickly getting use to the creature he rode. No doubt the creatures would be popular with the mortals, even he could not complain about them; they held a promise of making a long journey more bearable. The demi-god climbed down off his horse placing a lead on the reins so the horse would not wonder away. The demi-god found his lower back pained as he was now on the ground, a pain his brother had described as 'Saddle sore'. "Steve!" the demi-god called out to the miner as he passed by. "It is starting to get dark, we should head in side."

The miner nodded and headed over to the demi-god, jumping down from the horses back. The two guided their animals into a stable that had been built for them the day before. Once the horses were stabled the human and warrior headed inside the mansion, taking a seat in the large living room.

"So did you two enjoy the new animals Jeb plans to add?" the two looked over and spotted Notch siting on the couch. Steve smiled and walked over to the god taking a seat next to him and sitting down, and Hero did the same. After the long stay in the Aether to escape the cold hands of winter Notch seemed of have declared that Steve was his new adopted brother and there for was Hero's brother as well. It was all a little weird for the miner but like all things he would learn to adapt quickly.

"It was really scary but fun once I got use to it." Steve rubbed the back of his head as he chuckled a bit. The idea of something faster then a pig had frightened him a bit but now he liked the idea.

Hero just seemed to nod still rubbing his lower back from the soreness that he had gotten from the saddle. "The side affect to sitting in the saddles for long periods of time, is rather painful." The demi-god's brother just chuckled and wrapped an arm around the younger.

"I'll see about making them a little more comfortable." Notch chuckled rubbing his brother's back.

"Jeb mentioned something about stuff going down at the 'Wall' what ever that is?" Steve looked at the god with a slightly tilt of the head, wanting to know more about it.

"The Wall Steve is a large structure in the far north, built between two extreme peaks." Hero started to explain. "It is almost as old as I am in this mortal world."

"Yeah, the disturbances are just spikes in energy and mobs." the god shrugged not seeming to worried "Jeb's not throwing up any alarm bells. So I'm not too worried." Notch looked over at his brother with a big goofy grin. "Unless you two want to look into it?"

"Nether no." The warrior shook his head and crossed his arms only making the God chuckle. "Winter just ended, and I am not going to the far north to visit the snow that I missed." The demi-god stood up and walked from the sitting room and into the kitchen, only leaving the words "I am getting something to drink" As he left.

Notch burst into laughter and Steve shook his head. "He's so abrupt sometimes." The miner chuckled as he relaxed into the couch.

"He knows I'm just messing with him." the God stood and stretched his arms and legs. "Well, I have to head back to the Aether. I'll leave the horses with you two." Steve smiled as the God disappeared into a breath of air. Just as the god disappeared the demi-god walked back in carrying two glasses of water, handing one to the miner.

The human took the glass taking a small sip. "Your not even a little bit curious about what's going on up north." Steve titled his head taking a gulp of the contents of the glass.

"I am." Hero to a seat in the place his brother had been sitting, leaning back and closing his eyes as he took a deep drink of the water. "But I dislike the ice and snow more then I am curios." The warrior opened his pure white eyes just a bit. "Though I do wonder what is going on over there." He trailed off.

"So there's no way we'll be going up there?"

"Not unless Jeb or Notch sees reason to." The warrior closed his eyes once more as he finished his drink and leans back into the couch. The miner could see the demi-god had no interest in moving.

A/N: I finally got Wall out, now that works calmed down. I promise it will get better, and It will be longer.
