Heavily referenced off Minecraft's 'End' Poem (Which I am in love with)


Two creators spoke in a voice lower than a whisper, yet loud enough to be heard as shouting.

"I see the player you mean," One spoke. 

"(Y/N)?" The other asked. They seemed to be floating yet remained seated on the ground. The laws of Gravity did not stop them.

"Yes. Be cautious. It can read our thoughts.

The first worded, "So it has reached that level of intelligence already?

"Yes, in a short amount of time. It is surprising. Not many players get here this quickly."

"It already has a library filled up with many thoughts from different creators."

"Does it?

"Yes. It's reading our thoughts as if it was on a screen."

"I like this player."

"In what way?"

"It's unique. Not like any other."

"Other players are unique, too."

"Yes, but you can say everybody is unique because the definition of unique is being one of it's kind. Calling everybody unique is just stating that they're one of their kind, and they cannot be the same."

"Because they're unique?"

"Precisely."

They continued to float in nothingness, sitting cross-legged with no identity at all. 

"They appear to be watching us."

"They must have already reached a higher level of intelligence."

"Not higher than ours, however."

"It appears to be dreaming."

"About what?"

"Many things. It's future and the impossible and possible things that could and might happen. It's dreaming about how fictional things could come true and how plausible things could happen to them and what the outcome could be."

"Dreams are very flexible. Very flexible indeed. It's better to dream than know about the reality behind the dreams."

"What else did this player dream about?"

"How it created the trees, mountains and rivers. How it had powers of the elements and how it could yield a sword and swing it around."

"Very interesting."

"It thought about how life revolved around $#(*%*(& and $&(#@ and )$*#%^."

"It cannot read that thought."

"No. They haven't reached the highest level of intelligence. One must understand certain things through the long dream and the short dream."

"They must understand many things. About it's surroundings and itself."

"Does it understand that we care about it? That the universe needs it and loves it?"

"That's for the player to decide."

"The universe has shown it many different things, allowing it to learn and change."

"The universe also allows it to feel. To decide. The player shall decide how it feels towards the universe."
