(Steve woke up in a destroyed house.)

Steve: Where am I?

(Steve goes outside to see the destruction of oak village.)

Steve: Alex! Leo! What's going on?!

(Steve sees monsters an army of monsters cheering for  their leader, Erebus, king of the Endermen.)

Steve: Erebus? But I defeated him! 

(Erebus appears behind Steve.)

Erebus: You fool.

(Steve turns around, scared.)

Erebus: You think you can defeat me? I always come back!

Steve: Liar! 

(Erebus pins down Steve and tries to eat him. That is until a bright light was shun. Scaring off Erebus.)

???: Steve!

Steve: Who are you?

???: Come to me.

Steve: I'm trying I'm here!

???: Steve... 

(Then in that moment he saw a man with a beard and top hat.)

(Steve woke up from yet another bad dream.)

Steve: Phew. Everything is still normal. 

(He saw his wolf, Elias, sleeping soundly.)

Steve: At least you're okay.

(Steve pets his wolf and walks out of his room.)

(Transitions to Alex with a sketchboard and marker.)

Alex: Okay, now describe this man.

Steve: He's tall. Long black beard and top hat.

(Alex drew a well drawn picture of what Steve was talking about.)

Alex: Is this him?

Steve: Yes.

Leo: He looks familiar. Wait, it's Notch!

Steve: Who's Notch? 

Grandma Anna: Oh dear! You don't know who he is?

Alex: He's our God. He gave us life to this world.

Leo: You're telling us you had a dream and saw this guy?!

Steve: Yeah, I don't know why though. I must have a connection to him. 

Grandma Anna: Well, we can talk about it later, we have to get going.

Steve: Where to?

Alex: It's Shabbat. We go to church to worship our lord, Notch.

Grandma Anna: However, we do need someone to look after the pets while we're gone.

Steve: I'll do it.

Alex: But don't you wanna learn more about Notch at our church.

Steve: I'll be fine.

Grandma Anna: Alright, take care. And make sure to feed Alfred wheat and carrots.

Steve: Will do. 

(So while Alex, Leo and Grandma Anna went to church, Steve decides to head to the library.)

Steve: Alright, don't tell Alex, Leo or Anna where we are.

(Steve ties Elias and Alfred on a leash and goes inside the library.)

Steve: Excuse me, do you know where there are any Notch books?

Librarian: Sure. It's in the N section.

Steve: Ah, of course.

(Steve looks at all the books about Notch but not a single one had anything that would connect to him.)

(Transitions to the church where the choir finished singing. The priest came up to the podium.)

Priest: We have some unsettling news. Villages have been burned down for unknown reasons. I ask everyone to pray for any survivors.

Alex: (Whispered) We should investigate these villages.

Leo: (Whispered) Good idea.

Grandma Anna: (Whispered) After church you two.

(After church, Alex, Leo and Grandma Anna went home to see Steve, Elias and Alfred absent.)

Alex: Where's Steve?

Leo: I bet he was kidnapped!

Grandma Anna: Nonsense, he must've walked his wolf and Alfred. I'll go look for him. You two plan ahead for the expedition. 

Alex: Okay, Grandma. 

(Grandma Anna looked around and saw Elias and Alfred tied to a pole near the library.)

Grandma Anna: Oh my! You poor things! Where's Steve? 

(Grandma Anna goes inside to see Steve making a mess with lots of books.)

Grandma Anna: Steve? What are you doing here?

Steve: I was looking for books on Notch.

Grandma Anna: Well you were supposed to keep an eye on the pets.

Steve: I'm sorry. I've just been busy trying to figure out who I am, and why am I connected to Notch.

(Grandma Anna then puts a reassuring hand on Steve.)

Grandma Anna: I'm sure you'll one day figure it out.

Steve: I hope.

Grandma Anna: Anyways, you better head home. There have been reports of villages burned down and I think we need Team Steve to investigate. 

Steve: Thanks for telling me.

Grandma Anna: You're welcome.

(Steve left the library while Grandma Anna looked at the book he dropped.)

Grandma Anna: Hmm, Notch...

(Steve returned home.)

Alex: There you are!

Leo: I was worried about Alfred!

Steve: I'm sorry guys, I was just doing some reading at the library.

Alex: Okay, well, we need to get going.

Steve: Don't worry, your Grandma told me everything.

Alex: Good.

(The trio packed their things and were ready to head out with their pets.)

(Grandma Anna hugged her grandchildren.)

Grandma Anna: I pray to Notch that my children are okay.

Alex: Okay Grandma you can let go.

Grandma Anna: Sorry, anyways, good luck.

Alex: Will do.

(The trio and their pets begin their walk.)

(Soon sunset and decided to camp for the night and eat some steak.)

Alex: Hey Steve. You said you were doing some reading. Were you looking into Notch? 

Steve: Okay, yes. It's just weird. These dreams always happen all the time. I don't know why.

Leo: Well, how about we just rest and not think about these awful dreams.

Steve: I guess you're right.

(The next morning came. The faced off two spiders and headed straight to town.)

Alex: We're here!

(They looked around and saw the town in ruins.)
