Brick houses with black stained windows with white edges stood on Dennerheim's fine streets. Fence posts with redstone lamps and inverted daylight sensors on top dotted the streets. Bushes and shrubs coexisted and served as decoration of the city. The sun glowed in its afternoon glory. Canals and old bridges crossed the city. Despite its age, people of all ages did their own thing on the city.

(Imagine Dennerheim like the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands)

Inside an old but fine-quality brick house, sat a young girl, aged seven. She walked up to another woman who was older.

"Mom, can I play with my friends outside?" the young girl asked.

"Sure, my child! You can play outside."

"Yay!" the girl squealed as she dashed towards the door.

"Be careful, Fenne!" the older woman called back to her daughter.

The young girl stood on the porch, lit by a small, wall lamp often recognizable inside Dennerheim. She inhaled, registering the scent of both the fresh air of the shrubbery at the facade of their house, the scent of the canal, which looked as clear as ever, and some smoke that came from cars. Ew, smoke!

Stepping down the porch, she ran, passing through unrecognizable Minecraftians, not even acknowledging the existence of a figure that lurked behind the bushes.

The figure held a blowpipe and a dart injected with a chemical. He inserted the dart into the blowpipe, and aimed.

The dart sailed across the wind and passed by a few people. Alas! Dear Fenne felt something pierce her arm. A dart was the last thing she saw before she faded into oblivion.

Noticing a fainting child, other Minecraftians circled around Fenne. The figure jumped out of a bush and sprinted towards Fenne.

"I'm gonna get her to a hospital!" the figure exclaimed as he cradled Fenne in his arms. He bolted off, an intention that was very unclear in his mind.

Her eyes felt like the heaviest things ever. It took a while, but Fenne opened her eyes. Oh no. I'm not in a hospital. Mommy!

Then everything registered to her mind, as if a USB plugged in her mind.

Around her, that moist sensation really covered her entire body. Fenne looked down, and saw her feet floating a few blocks off the floor.

Scanning her entire body, she noticed some sort of gadget covering her nose and mouth.

She pried it off, but the second she pulled it, a great amount of pain seared in her cheeks and jaw. She released the gadget.

Wires also connected her hands and feet through a wall towards nowhere.

Fenne tried to scream, but no voice nor vibration in her throat came out. Oh no, I'm in water! Mom! Where are you?!
