Legend tells of a mysterious amulet, one of purple and black. It awaits it's finder (or finders) deep in a cave, protected by puzzles and booby traps.

At the entrance of the cave, there are told to be four tunnels leading to it. Each entrance is hidden in one of the four elements (one is hidden in the earth, one in the air, one underwater and one where there is (or was) fire).

Legend says that one Minecraftian will come through each tunnel. Whichever element tunnel they each go through, that will be their element. I'm not saying they'll get "magic powers" or anything cheesy like that, that will just, uh, be their element, I guess.

Josie respawned at the top of a spruce tree. "Whoa whoa whoooaaaa!!!" He almost immediately fell backwards, loosing half his health as he hit the ground.

He picked himself up, brushing the dust off his clothes. He got up and looked around. Then he started to walk. He wasn't going anywhere in particular, he was just walking around aimlessly.

As he walked, the sun began to set. Josie was lost in thought, and was too zoned out to notice the darkening sky.

He was snapped back to reality when a skeleton shot him in the shoulder. "Oooooowwwwwww!" he complained, pulling the arrow out of his shoulder. He made a sad attempt to throw it at the skeleton, but missed.

He stared at the skeleton, and it stared back (with the eyes it didn't have). The skelly began to load another arrow, causing Josie to scream and run the other way.

And crash into a zombie.

Running the other way wouldn't have even helped if the zombie wasn't there, cause he ended up getting shot in the back anyway.

Josie screamed at the zombie, and ran to his right, instead of behind him, right back to the skeleton.

But, once again, he made the wrong decision as he ran right into a creeper, which exploded, of course, sending him the other direction.

Knowing Josie's luck, he flew right into another creeper, which also exploded.

Josie finally got up and ran away from the mobs, towards a dark cave. Yeah, not the best idea, but honestly, what else could he have done? I guess he could've dug a hole in the ground and hid in it, but we all know Josie isn't smart enough to think of that.

He walked into the cave to be greeted by a red-eyed spider, who leaped at him. And to think his night couldn't get any worse. Anyway, Josie leaned backwards in attempt to duck under the spider, but failed. The spider knocked him backwards. Josie was expecting to be thrown against the cave wall, but instead felt himself falling.

Cassie was heading back to nowhere (similar to Josie), hands over her rumbling stomach. She was really upset that she didn't kill the pig, and was muttering about pigs being selfish, mean mobs for running away instead of feeding hungry Minecrafters like herself.

Cassie found herself climbing up a big mountain overlooking a forest. She sat at the top, looking out in the forest as the sun set. She directed her attention to the sun as it shone the last few rays of sun for the day over the forest. Cassie's stomach grumbled again. "Stupid pig..." she mumbled.

She watched the last little bit of the square sun fall behind the horizon. Not long after it disappeared, Cassie saw a faint light where the sun had just been. She squinted her eyes to look at it. "I wonder what that is... Maybe it's- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
