(Steve's FoV)
I was walking on the grass in the forest, whistling a tune and swinging my iron pickaxe. Everything was completely relaxed and I was sure that nothing would happen, so I thought it was a perfect day to go mining. The sun was shining, I was running low on materials and there were no hostile mobs around. Yet.
Not that I want to run into a mob, but a few more XP definitely can't be so bad. Just incase I had taken my sword with me. I know how dangerous it is to go out without one, but somehow I wanted to feel the danger once.
Little did I know that a sword will be extremly useful today.
Anyway, I walked over the dirt and grass, careful to not scare any animals. But I didn't need to be careful since there was no mob around here. Kinda weird, but I liked it. It was very silent and pleasant due to this fact.
After good thirty miutes of just walking through the forest, I started to feel uncomfortable. I was many times in this part of the forest, but it was never that silent, that empty.
Maybe it had something to do with the fight of the two creators a few years ago, Notch and someone called Herobrine. Honestly, I never want to meet that Herobrine, because the way Notch told us how he is just makes him seem...

Aggressive as all fuck.
Notch told us that he was a bloodthirsty demigod once, but he himself made that guy a demon. But he couldn't kill that guy because Herobrine seems to be his brother. Not that I'd care tho.
I was just wondering about the mobs. Maybe that was a good part tho because that means there aren't any evil mobs around which means I won't be attacked so soon.
One word: Nice.
I didn't quite care about my surroundings too much since I could bet a thousand bucks I know that place better than my pockets. And before I could react, it happened: I slipped and fell into a deep ravine. A loud yell escaped my mouth as I desperately tried to cling to something, but I barely missed a rock. My only chance.
Then I hit the ground and immediately lost my consciousness. A thick black smoke was setting above me and I only saw two white eyes above me before everything went dark.

(??? FoV)
I tilted my head and looked at the mortal which was lying on the ground. That guy just fell from the sky like a bird someone just shot down!!! I'm so glad that I wasn't under him. He barely missed me!!! I took a deep breath to calm myself down and looked at the boy. He possibly wasn't older than 16, yet he looked like he was already 23.
Pretty impressive. For a mortal.
I eyed that guy from head to toe. He was definitely pretty well built and strong. His light brown hair was lying messily over his face and made him look a bit like me when I just came out of bed. He was wearing a light blue shirt and dark blue jeans like me once. His skin was light, but well-toned from the sun. I kneeled down next to him, careful to not step on my cape and the chain around my ankle, and opened one of his eyes really carefully.
Who knows what kind of bodystrenght mortals have and how much they could handle?
His eyes had a soft purplish-blue color, causing me to flinch and jump back in shock.
NO. WAY. I ALMOST GOT MURDERED BY A FALLING STEVE!!!
My heartrate was unusual high, causing me to pant heavily. I never felt so freaking scared of a mortal, but for what HE told me, this mortal is one that should be handled with care. And considering the fact that he was such an idiot to tell lies about me, I really didn't want to know how he will react on seeing a "Bloodthirsty Demigod which was turned into a Demon".
I made myself take a deep breath and went back to Steve, inspecting him some more. No ropes, only a none-sharp sword and a pickaxe which already saw better days. But even with that, this guy would be able to murder me within a few heartbeats, just because I'm in my weakest state right now. Heck, I bet I won't even be able to bring him to my base!
I sighed and looked at the chain around my ankle. It didn't help that I was tied to a massive pillar and that the way I'm able to go is only fifthy meters. But I somehow had to get him to my base or else he'd die here. His left arm seemed to be broken because it was slightly disfigured. I looked at the leftovers of a broken suspension bridge. It was mostly just ropes and wood, but I knew I could at least try to somehow stabilize the fracture.
Bad was only that the bridge was more than fifthy meters away from the pillar.
"Oh come on!", I groaned and stared at the wood and the ropes. Then I had an idea. I went over to the wood, but had to stop a meter before it because of the chain. So I kneeled down and grabbed a rope which was lying a bit closer. I pulled it. Some wood and ropes came over to me, causing me to smile. At least that worked. The rope wasn't too long, but it was made out of five thinner strings which were just tied together.
I opened the knots and put two straight wooden bars on his arm, tying a rope around the upper part and the lower part so it would be stabilized. Then I carefully tried to lift him up. I was somewhat able to do it, but he was quite heavy.
I clenched my teeth and carried him to my base which was sadly right next to the pillar.
The way was normally taking me 3 minutes, but it took longer than usual now, now 15. Just because of that damn chain.
With many loud huffs and growls I FINALLY arrived at the little house I made. With my foot I pushed the door open and went inside, placing the man on the sofa. A bit hesitant I went to the kitchen and took a bowl of water and cloth. Then I went back to him and began to dab his forehead gently with the wet cloth.
A few minutes later he slowly woke up, but I continued doing my stuff. He looked at me pretty confused, his purple eyes focused on mine. I stopped and swallowed heavily.
I should've worn my mask...
