The Enderdragon's Baker (A Minecraft Story)

Cookie Delivery

"H, what are we doing here?"
"You need chorus fruit, right?"
"Yes."
"There ya go."
"Okay, but what are the cookies for?"
"Entertainment."

I shivered and kept my eyes to the ground. I borrowed a green t-shirt and some jeans from Creeps, but that doesn't exactly help me in the cold void that is the End. I glanced up, careful not to meet the gaze of the enderman around us. A chuckle came from the man beside me and a hand lifted my head up.

"They won't hurt you around me, Anna."

"H, this wouldn't happen to be what Endie said 'no' to the other day, right?"

"Wow, you really are vigilant." He mumbled but his smug smirk wasn't gone long. "Yeah, it is."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Course, why wouldn't it be?"

"Have you seen how small I am?" I asked, pointing to my face. "I'd be even less than a snack to him. We're visiting a dragon." He laughed and patted my head reassuringly. I'm getting use to it, but it isn't helping right now. Creeps, Endie, and Bones left to gather more food and all I wanted was some Chorus fruit. Next time, I'm waiting for Endie.

"Don't worry, Anna. I wouldn't let him kill you. Endie would have my head for that."

"Nice to know you care." I replied, sarcastically. He's far too entertained with this.

"I'm serious, I won't let anyone here hurt you. Your too cute, my little pet human."

"I couldn't tell." I laughed, shaking his hand from my head.

He continued to tease me for a while as we made our way to wherever he's taking me. I can't say I mind, I'm use to it to some degree. Not with Endie, but with my old friends. About a half an hour later I looked ahead and my jaw dropped.

In the distance was a castle, made of enderstone bricks, obsidian, and adorned with purple accents everywhere. Once we got there, he opened the door for me and I continued looking around the well decorated place. Inside had black and purple rugs, bushes in the corners, and flower pots with various white and purple flowers.  I didn't hide my awe well and heard H laugh at me, but I couldn't care less. I've never seen a castle before, much less entered one. I never thought I'd get to!

"If your wondering, there's more." H explained. My attention was back on him. "Notch has a mansion, Wither has a castle in the nether, and this one belongs to Ed, the ender dragon."

"How does a dragon fit in here?" He smirked.

"You'll see."

"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Do you have one?"

"I have a lot of places, Ann. I've got a hideout in the underground caverns, a small mansion in the nether, and I stay at Notch's regularly, so I'ma count that one, too."

"Your just showing off now."
"If you've got it: flaunt it."

I rolled my eyes and waited to see what he did next. I jumped when he yelled for 'Ed' loudly. "Give a girl some warning!" I pouted, calming down. We heard something outside and he motioned for me to follow, leading me back outside. Up in the air was a large black and purple dragon with grey wings. I'll admit it, I hid behind H as soon as I saw him.

He landed on the ground with a loud thud. H seeming unfazed by the large amount of air that passed us from his wings. They seemed to glare at H, then spot me. I'm so fudged. My eyes widened as I watched the full sized, giant dragon shrink down to a tall man right in front of us. And he doesn't look happy to see us.

"Well someone's in a mood." H teased. Your going to make him kill me- us quicker! Ed rolled his eyes.

"There were too many people in the End today, you included. What do you want?" He glanced my way again and pointed directly at me. "And who is this?"

"We brought leftover cookies, that's all." He shrugged. He looked to me and I gave him a weary look back. "Why don't you introduce yourself, hun?" I hesitantly got out from behind H, trying and failing to hide my nervousness.

"H-Hi! I'm Anna, Endie's friend and former owner of a bakery." I smiled, nervously. I held the box out to him. "Want some lava cookies?" He looked from me to the box, than gave me a small smile.

"How am I suppose to deny someone so sweet?" My tension eased a bit, but I was still worried, seeing as this is the extra spicy version. He popped the box open and took a cookie, handing the box back. One sniff later and he smirked at H. "I'd suggest you start running, Brine."

"At least let me take the girl home." He chuckled, backing away some. I noticed him try to teleport away but it didn't work.

"She isn't the one in danger." He chuckled, handing me the cookie back. I honestly don't blame him. "How about you go back inside, Anna?"

"On it!"
"What?! Isn't that protection thing both ways?!"
"Sorry, can't help ya, see you at home!"

Brine booked it into the End. I saw dragon wings emerge from Ed's back and immediately closed the door.

Nope, not dealing with it.
