Minecraft - The Enderman

It has been 12 days since the great apocalypse began. It turned what was once a peaceful and strong kingdom into a ravaged wasteland covered in ashes and terror. We had escaped our kingdom with only a few amount of resources and food with us. We looked for other survivors. There was only 10 of us left and some were badly wounded and might not make it through the night.

We had journeyed deep into the forest to escape the monsters of the night that had attacked our kingdom. I looked around, there was nothing but trees and darkness. It was freezing cold and my hands were shivering. Luckily one of us had a flint lighter so we made a camp and started making weapons to prepare ourselves for what lies waiting in the woods for us the next day.

As the moon shined brightly in the dark night sky as we sat in front of the warm and cosy fire, ate some food and shared stories of our lives before the war. Gandolf, a wise old mage from the village told us a story about how and why the war began. "Our king, Notch also has a brother now known as "The Herobrine". 10 years ago Herobrine was kidnapped by a group of evil scientists. These scientists were responsible for unleashing the zombie plague and the walking skeletons and other creatures. They had experimented on him and turned him into a monster. He was no soul any more, no heart, no mercy and no feelings. Very few people who have faced Herobrine have lived to tell the story. He is described as a tall man with white glowing eyes. Herobrine is also able to summon creatures and monsters at his own will and control them. It is said that Herobrine is able to wipe an entire city of the map like what he is trying to do to our kingdom."

The sun rises up again, we watched as our enemies burned to ashes.

"We are safe now!" they cheered in relief. We helped bring the wounded back into the house so that Gandolf can heal them. After all the repairing and healing is done. We spent most of the day making armour from the leather and iron we collected.

Michael call out to everyone at the camp, "Everyone! There are some diamonds back in our village if we can get back there before nightfalls we might still have a chance at defeating Herobrine!"

"Then let's hurry! We'll need all of our weapons just in case we don't make it back in time", one of the men replied. Just as we were about to head off I asked the group, "Does anyone still remember where our village is anymore?".

"Don't worry, I left a trail of crosses on the trees we walked past.", Michael replied. "So we'll have no proplem finding our way there and back". We packed our bags and got going. It was midday and we're almost there. There were no signs of monsters or hostiles anywhere. We searched the castle because we knew that our king, Notch has lots of diamonds in his chests that he usually shares with us. "I found it!", one of the villagers call out. "Great! let's open it and see!", another replied as we were rushing towards him. As he opened it we saw a bright blue light glowing from inside the chest.

"We've hit the jackpot!" he cheered. 64 diamond gems were inside the chest. We carried the chest back to our camp area and made it just in time before dark.

Back at the camp we all gathered around the chest as Gandolf examined the diamonds.

"Here I've made you some diamond pickaxes, armour and most importantly some diamond swords.", he said.

"Great! We'll be able to beat Herobrine for sure now!", Michael cheered.

"I'm afraid it is not possible even with these swords made of diamonds.", Gandolf replied in a sorrow voice, "Herobrine is just too powerful he'll heal straight away plus he has an army of over 10,000 monsters that he could spawn at any time. The only way to defeat him is to aquire a Blaze rod, Ambrosium Shard, Ender pearl, Eye of Ender, Healing Stone and most importantly a dragon egg so that I can use it to enchant your swords. The Aether, the Overworld, the Nether and the End are the four realms of the world we call home. Each realm has incredible secrets and mysteries. Each of these items are split up and scattered throughout these realms. Find them and bring them to me so that I can transmute and enchant your weapons so that you can defeat Herobrine and his army."

"Right now we are in the overworld", Gandolf added. "I suggest finding the Enderpearl first because it is located in this realm."

"But where are we able to find it here in this world?", Michael asked.

"You must defeat the Enderman, a tall black figure with purple eyes. It only comes out at night", Gandolf replied.

"Since we are all healed and now we have these new weapons and armour I say we go hunt down the Enderman tonight!" one of the villagers called out.

"Wait! You must be carefull, the Enderman is a very dangerous creature and is able to teleport. Never look at him straight in the eye or it will kill you", Gandolf warned us before we left to go hunting for the Enderman. It has been 4 hours of wandering around in the dark and creepy woods and we were accompanied by some hostiles a couple of times but thanks to our new weapons we took care of them easily. We heard some groaning sounds in the forest and saw a tall black figure carrying a block of wood. The Enderman stopped in it's tracks and turned towards our direction. All of us closed our eyes and hoped that it wouldn't attack. It examined us for a while and walked away. As it was walking away one of us threw a sword at it and it stabbed it in the back. We heard a high pitched scream and it turned around and looked at all of us in the eye. It screamed again and disappeared in a puff of glowing purple particles. It teleported right behind us, grabbed one of the villagers, teleported high in the sky and dropped him. As it teleported to the ground we ambushed it and tried to hit it but it was no use. It kept teleporting around randomly. The fight lasted up to an hour and we were all very tired and the Enderman was too. The sun was rising back up and we saw the Enderman glow red and light up in flames. The sun's light was burning it and it was screaming in pain.

"Get it now!", the villagers shouted. We all ganged up on it and killed it. Three large dark greenish-blue pearls dropped onto the ground.

"Hey what's that?" one of the villagers asked. "I think it's the Enderpearl that Gandolf was talking about."

We brought the Ender Pearls and the unconscious villager back to Gandolf.
