Minecraft: The Story of Steven Cubex

Chapter 9: A Far Away Journey Begins!

Beta: XxAlty_KingxX

After spending the night in one of Paige's tree huts, the duo quickly made their way back to the village. The first thing they did was report back to Blake with all the supplies.

"I see you've taken your sweet time getting the supplies back." Blake said while sitting on his bed. His legs leaning off of it.

"Yeah, your welcome. Now where do we drop this off? I have something important to do." Steve said trying not to show any wavering in his voice.

"Hm? What's the rush? What is so important?"

"He wants me to take him to Castle Mojang to ask the 6 Kings to enter the Archives and learn more about the true Legend of the Ender Dragon." Paige said.

"Now why would you want to waste your time with a stupid myth like that?" Blake asked.

"Because there is a chance that my wife isn't dead. And maybe....either is yours. And everyone else who fell victim by the Ender Dragon."

"How dare you! How dare you belittle my wife with your stupid assumptions!! There is no way that that can be true! And I will not allow you to give me hope when there is no possible way of being any!" Blake said shooting up from where he sat on the bed.

"Are you that dull?! Are you so broken that you won't even try to believe in a chance that even your wife and everyone else can be brought back?!"

"NO!! I saw her die! She was set ablaze just like everyone else by the Ender Dragon! No one can just come back after something like that. They didn't have Toolbars like you do! They can't come back! Once they die! They can't and won't ever come back!"

A slap brought from Paige caused Blake to stop yelling.

"We don't know for sure if there is a way to bring them back. I know very well that it is just a legend. A myth. But this man has something you will never have. The strength, courage and hope to stop trying to live this dangerous lie of a life. And hey, if Steve is wrong, then that'll be it. But, if he's right. Everything can come back to normal." Paige said with a stern look on her face.

"Paige...." Blake said.

"Now please Blake....just tell us where to drop these supplies and we'll be on our way." Steve said.

"Right.....Go see Margaret. She handles all of the food and such there. When your finished; come back, both of you. I'll have the necessary supplies ready for you to go on your journey." Blake said.

"Blake. I was thinking if there was any way Steve could enchant his diamond sword. It'll help." Paige asked.

"Well we haven't had a Enchantment Table here in the village. You can only repair and slightly upgrade your tools and weapons at the Blacksmith."

"Okay, we'll do that before we return home. Let's go Steve."

"Right." Steve responded.

Steve followed Paige to the farmer lady Margaret. Steve emptied all the supplies into a few chests. Margaret thanked them and gave them both a few apples as a gift of thanks. The duo now went to the Blacksmith and had all their gear repaired and slightly strengthened to last a bit longer. They had to give the Blacksmith a few of there own supplies for the job as payment. Once that was finished, they made their way back to Blake's home where he was found standing behind two chests.

"In here is everything you'll need. Food, some building supplies. Axes, shovels, pick axes. Extra arrows for your bow Paige. And your own bow and arrows Steve. I'm sure Paige will teach you how to use one." Blake said. "There's also a Crafting Table and a Smelting Table in here too. Now, Steve you'll have to carry most of these items as far as you already know. Also, take two of these beds as well."
