Are You Ready To Get into the Adventure of Steve Jones: Secret of the Red Emerald

Here is the Prologue

"Steve Joans-daring, bold, and a kick with the ladies." The horse whinnied unintelligently. "I quite like it Blackie," Jones patted his horse. "It really highlights the best of me." Blackie snorted his disapproval. Steve lowered his brow, "Well what do you know? You're just a horse, not a brave adventurer like me: Steve Joans-daring, bold, and a ahhhh!" Steve cried as Blackie buckled. "I hate horseback," Jones groaned under his breath. It's been four days since he received a mysterious letter urging him to travel to a village east of the Desert of No Name, and today he'll finally be arriving. "What an awful name," Jones first thought on reading the letter. "Why name a place no name? It gives me a headache just thinking about it." That thought diminished as he read on, "Treasure hidden among the sands huh? Sounds like a job for…" he paused dramatically, "Steve Jones!"…

Chapter 1: An Adventure Awaits!

Steve Joans-daring, bold, and a kick with the ladies.

The horse whinnied unintelligently.

I quite like it Blackie, Jones patted his horse. It really highlights the best of me.

Blackie snorted his disapproval.

Steve lowered his brow, Well what do you know? You’re just a horse, not a brave adventurer like me: Steve Joans-daring, bold, and a ahhhh! Steve cried as Blackie buckled. 

I hate horseback, Jones groaned under his breath. It’s been four days since he received a mysterious letter urging him to travel to a village east of the Desert of No Name, and today he’ll finally be arriving.

What an awful name, Jones first thought on reading the letter. Why name a place no name? It gives me a headache just thinking about it. That thought diminished as he read on, Treasure hidden among the sands huh? Sounds like a job for... he paused dramatically, Steve Jones!

That must be the village now, Jones said as sandstone structures began to take shape. He pouted his lip unimpressed, At least it’ll be easy finding the one who sent the letter, counting the five buildings that surrounded a not particularly interesting well.

He chuckled to himself, WELL it’s something right?

The horse snorted and made a bold attempt to roll its eyes; however, upon realizing it was unable to do so because it was a horse, it decided to buckle Steve off once again for old time’s sake.

Steve landed on the ground with an audible thump. He pointed angrily at his steed, I swear, do that again and I’ll...I’ll... Steve paused not having any horse-threatening threats, I’ll do something very unpleasant.

The horse stomped his hooves in what can only be a sign of pure delight. It was loving seeing Steve so flustered.

Steve quickly took out his journal. He found a blank spot and began writing, Note to self: find what horses find threatening and threaten Blackie. He closed the book shut and climbed back onto the horse. After a few bickering moments later, they arrived at the village.

Chapter 2: A Strange Greetings

Steve quickly found himself being rushed by a villager with a smile filled with so much joy; you must wonder where he keeps his teeth and tongue.

Hello and welcome to our village, the villager said excitedly.
