End

Chapter 10

  Steph and End had been mining for a few days, they cleared out the mineshaft, no sphere. They had moved onto the next mineshaft, which wasn't too far away. They hadn't come across anything out of the ordinary, until now.

Steph looked back at End, who was mining the wall opposite of her, then back to the long, dark corridor. She squinted, was that a wood block?

She went closer to it, placing torches. End turned around and said, "What?"

"I think I see a....." Steph said, nearing it, "No way! A chest?"

"What?" said End, teleporting. The distance was so short, so he barely felt it.

Steph opened the chest, and gasped.

"What's in it?" End said, looking over Steph's head.

They looked inside, there lay two diamonds, three pieces of bread, two globs of Redstone dust, and five pieces of coal.

"Diamonds!" exclaimed Steph, reaching for them instantally.

"Wow, a chest. But, who from?" End said.

Steph stopped. Who from.....?

"I-I don't know. "

"Maybe from the people who built the mineshaft?" End said in a sarcastic tone, "Maybe, I don't know!"

"Oh. Um, okay."

End laughed, "You really didn't know? Jeez, You don't know too much about Minecraft, do you?"

"I guess not..." Steph said, a smile playing on her lips.

They continued mining, Steph feeling encouraged about the chest, and alert for more. Another night passed, well, it might've been night. They went to bed after Steph felt tired, which could have been any time. They mined for awhile, when End gasped and said,

"Whoa! Steph come look at this!"

Steph looked over her shoulder and to where End was. She gasped too and ran over.

The outside of his missing block was lava and water, on the bottom of a ravine, but that's not what made them amazed, the ravine intersected the mineshaft, which intersected a Stronghold.

"Wow..... This is amazing." Steph said, gazing at the ravine, mineshaft, and Stronghold.

"It's just amazing standing where my ancestors came from..." said End, looking at the Stronghold.

"Shall we explore?" Steph looked at End eagerly.

"Okay, but not too far, we are here for the mineshaft, not the ravine." End replied.

And so, they stepped into the ravine.
