The Hero's Prophecy Series - An Interview with the Heroes

Hello everyone,

As you might know, I mentioned yesterday doing a post that gives an update on The Hero's Prophecy Series possibly for today. Well, I decided to something a little more interesting. I remembered that in the past I did an "interview" with Steve, Hero, and Sadie - three of the characters from the Hero's Prophecy series. But two of those characters are not introduced until Book 3. And the real action with them is not until Book 4. So I want to do another character interview, but with more of the Heroes. Those Heroes include Steve, Sadie, Hero, Niamey, TheBest, Archer, Zalia, DragonSlayer, and Justin. Here is an Questions and Answers Interview with some of the well-known Heroes:

Steve, how do you feel being the Prophecy Child knowing that one day you must kill the King of Darkness?
I... I don't really know. I lived almost my whole life on a farm, and only recently started training in the Nether [In Book 4]. If my father, uncle, and great-uncle could not kill the Dragon, then what is the chance I can? I might be brave, and I would never admit this to anyone, but I don't think I can slay the King alone. I believe that every hero needs help in life from people who care.
Archer, what were your feelings after Zalia tried permanently killing you the first time?
At first I was just shocked to be alive. If it was not for DragonSlayer's skilled father, I would have died in the woods then devoured by Zombies or Wolves. But after that phase passed, I really just felt lost, gone. I guess that is why I took to such a violent but hidden fighting life. I needed something to cover up my lost and grief. I was not at all angry at Zalia, nor at myself or anyone else. The only thing to blame was her disease. But even now, I feel the pain. I love my sister more than anything, even with her disease. And to know that she is still out there and safe after what happened... well, it makes me feel more complete.
TheBest, why do you cover up your help-needing self as a cruel, lying, powerful kid?
First of all, I am not "help needing". Yeah, I lost my parents. But that does not mean I will go crying to Steve saying "help me, help me!". Also, I am not cruel. I am strong, powerful, and feared. I do lie about things too, but that is just necessary. If people knew I was fifteen and not sixteen as I claim, my status would fall. If I gave mercy to the new people of Mineville, my popularity would go to nothing. To have power, you have to have people's fear. And to have their fear, you have to be strong and be able to lie and bring a sword down on someone's head.
DragonSlayer, would you really do anything to save Steve? And if so, would you do it just because of Notch's law or because of your friendship?
I would do anything to save Steve, or anyone else close to me. I would not want to die and leave him behind, but I would if I needed to. And as to what I am, I am unsure. I believe in Notch's law to protect Steve with everything and do not doubt his power. But I also do not protect just because some immortal king tells me to. Even if it was against the law, I would still protect Steve with my life. So I guess it is because of our friendship because I know Steve would do the same for me.
Zalia, do you ever think about your brother, Archer? And if you do, what do you think about him?
My brother Archer is a... a rough topic. I love him, of course. But after what happened those many years ago, I feel that he is just a ghost in my memory. Even though we met again, I could only force myself to believe he was a ghost. Archer was supposed to be dead, whether I wanted it or not. But I do think about him. A lot. And I have mixed feelings and thoughts. I always think about what happened, what might have happened, our future if I was not what I am, and whether or not Archer still exists in the world. Part of me denies all I have seen in the past few months since the Zombie Appocalypse. But I can only keep myself from thinking the never ending "What if..." questions.
Niamey, why do you help Steve so much even though you seem to hate him?
Well, I don't hate Steve. But I don't like him much either. The thing is, before my mom went out to find my father, and before leaving me, she left me a note. The girl who rescued me had kept the letter, and I treat it now like a life because it is all I have left of my mother. That note told me all about the Prophecy and the importance to protect Steve. Even if I don't like Steve, my mom did. Or at least, she wanted to protect him. And because of that, I have no choice but to do the same. Yet, I tend to help Steve more in words. I give him parts of his past and future and give some advice. Either way, I am just doing what I believe is right.
Sadie, how was it being possessed by the King of Darkness [in Book 4]?
I do not remember much from then. I saw some parts of what I was doing, hearing, and saying, but I had no control over myself. I remembered when I called Steve a monster though... and I could hear the Dragon whispering in my head, forcing me to say and do things that I would never even think about. The Dragon is pure evil, and I cannot wait until he is destroyed for good. And one of the things I find so horrible now is that even though I have so much book knowledge, it was not enough to help me. That alone just proves how different and powerful the King is.
Hero, you are considered a cool kid. But why did most people not take you seriously when you went to the schools to warn them about the Dragon returning?
Sadly, it is because of who I am and the news I was delivering. First off, no matter how "cool" I look, I have white eyes. Most people still believe Herobrine as some evil ghost thing. And seeing me? Well... only one can imagine what went through those teens' heads. Secondly, who wants to believe that the King of Darkness has returned again? I sure would not. Not to mention I was not from any of the schools I warned. Just that alone is enough to make most people not believe me.
Justin, what made you sacrifice yourself for the remaining survivors, even after your whole family was dead [assuming ghosts can talk]?
I had a duty to complete. My mom basically sacrificed herself to find my father. That left Millie's life in my hands. And when that Zombie killed her... I knew nothing else mattered. My parents were dead. My sister was dead. What else was there to live for? But of course, there was something else to live for. Even before Steve came crashing through my back door I had a mission. I wanted to prove my worth to my family, even if it killed me. Once Steve came, that gave me a firm idea. I decided to do all I could to protect him and help the others if it meant proving I still cared to my lost family. If my family had not died, or even if just Millie had not died, I probably would not have sacrificed myself. I would be too afraid, and I would not want to abandon my family. But when everything is lost, the only option left is to take the role of a leader or hero. That is exactly what I did and I do not regret my option at all.
 
 
I hoped you enjoyed today's THP Heroes Interview, and I will probably bring you more. I am sorry for the lack of a picture for Justin; I have yet to make one. All the pictures I drew. I will, along with getting Justin's picture up, update Zalia's once I draw the background to hers. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this interview. Also, for a quick update, Book 1 is done. I am just waiting for my mom to finish reading it before I decide what to do next. As for the website that goes along with the series, it is nearly done. I just have to add some more pictures for the characters which I hope will be done by this weekend. Then I will quickly check the pages to make sure there are no typos/spelling errors and then I will post the link on  here. Also, I probably won't have posts - or at least any long ones - every week from Friday-Sunday because I am really busy those three days. Typically, I will post on Monday-Thursday. Thanks again for reading this!
