Icebound

Chapter 1

In the Minecraft world, in a snowy biome, a young girl was busy helping out some people who were collecting ice. She was the youngest member of the crew, and she was only a child. But since she had nowhere to go and had no family, she had to learn to take care of herself. The only company she had was her small horse, a grey one with blue eyes.

While all the other crew members were working faster and more efficiently, the girl was working at a slower pace. It wasn't her fault, since the tools she had weren't the best. But they were good enough since they had an unbreaking enchantment with her. As she did her best to mine the ice, her horse walked alongside her.

The sun went down quickly, and before she knew it, the girl had to turn around and go back to the spot to drop off the ice. She didn't gather as much as the other workers did, but every ice block counted for some money.

"Come on, Ashlie!" the girl said to her horse.

She got on her horse, and they took off, leaving the snow biome.

Somewhere near the snow biome, there was a kingdom called Minetopia. The kingdom was ruled by a kind king and his queen, and they had two sons. One of their sons was adopted, but the two brothers were still close as siblings.

The younger son was named Aiden. He was normally a shy type, but he was a talented writer. He loved to read, and it lead him to want to be a writer after he discovered how much he enjoyed writing his own stories. He was always looking for a new source of inspiration.

The older son was named Reginald, and he was actually related to the king and queen. But despite how he and Aiden weren't actually related, Reginald still treated Aiden like he was his brother. Reginald possessed a talent of his own, but he rarely shared it with anyone outside of his family.

And the one he shared it the most was with his little brother Aiden.

That night, it was quiet in the castle. The moon was out shining brightly over Minetopia, so everyone was asleep. Reginald was fast asleep in his room.

"Reggie!" a voice whispered.

Reginald woke up, but he didn't open his eyes. He couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice. It was Aiden, and Aiden often called him by his nickname.

"Reggie!" said Aiden.

He jumped up on the bed and began to shake Reginald to wake him up.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" he said excitedly.

"Aiden... go back to sleep..." Reginald said. He did his best to sound tired.

"But I just can't!" said Aiden. He jumped on Reginald and tried to shake him some more. "The sky's awake, so I'm awake. And I have to play!" he said with a loud sigh.

Reginald smirked at his little brother.

"Go play by yourself then," he said.

He gently pushed Aiden off of his bed. Aiden landed on the floor, forming an unamused look. Reginald laid back down and did his best to go back to sleep.

Aiden formed a grin on his face. He knew how to bribe Reginald. He climbed back up on the bed and whispered to Reginald, "Do you want to build a snowman?"

Reginald didn't say anything. Instead, he opened his eyes and smiled at Aiden. Aiden grinned. He got Reginald on board to play with him.

The two brothers snuck out of their bedroom and quickly ran down the stairs and into the throne room.
