Minecraft - 4

Traveling through the portal felt funny, like walking through a door underwater. The other side, the Nether, was hot as hell, no pun intended. I walked over the warped nylium, looking around. Since endermen spawn in this area, I should be careful not to look up and anger one.

I walked through the biome, mining some gold I found and turning them into ingots. I should prioritise looking for a fortress however... So a stack of gold later I did just that. I made sure to stay close to the edge of the lands, looking over at the far ends of the lava ocean.

After a while of no luck, I find a bastion. I'm actually scared to go in, as I know how much the brutes damage me. I decided it was not worth the struggle. Besides, what do I do when I die? Go back? How? Where do I go?

I wandered endlessly through the hot biomes until I finally crossed a fortress. It was bigger than I thought it would be, the walls being twice the height I was. I saw some wither skeletons and a few blazes and I ran over to them. I tried to avoid the wither skeletons by blocking their ways and killed the blazes. The three rods I got is far from the amount I needed, but it was a nice start indeed.

Another few 'days' in the nether later, and I fell out of the portal back to the overworld with all the blaze rods and ender pearls I needed. I was so tired... But it was day so I couldn't sleep yet. I made the eyes of ender as I tried to figure out what to do with them. Do I just throw them? Let them go? I'll see.

I yeeted one into the air as hard as I could, hoping it was the right thing I had to do. Surprisingly enough, it was attracted to the stronghold exactly like I imagined it to be.

So after another few days of searching I dug my way into the stronghold and started searching my way to the portal. Yet another day later after a visit to the library and almost being exploded by a creeper or two... Or three... Maybe four...? Anyway, I arrived at the portal. I powered the thing up and made some final preparations.

Bed... Spawnpoint set. Got some extra to blow up the dragon.
Food... Some spare food in a chest.
Weapons... Got them.

I was lucky to get a power 1 bow from a skeleton and repair it. A few arrows and a spare bow later I was ready for the fight.

I sighed, and thought of my friends one last time. I really didn't know what happened, but I was... Determined to continue. I would be brave and fight that dragon, and hopefully come back to normal.
Maybe all this was a dream?

I shook my head and ignored any thoughts as they might distract me from my goal.

I jumped through the portal.
