I wandered for what felt like hours, no food in sight. It was getting too hard to walk while hungry, my legs barely carrying me to the next block ahead. I was exhausted and angry, deciding that I couldn't continue.

"Sapnap! Sapnap, are you here?" I yelled. I got no response, but I heard a rustling to my right.

"Sapnap! I'm here!" I screamed as I raised my head in the direction of the noise. I saw a flash of black and grinned. My smile quickly faded as a spider charged right for me.

"Aw shit!" I said as I had to fight off the spider with only my fists. It was a long battle, but I won. I picked up the three pieces of string it dropped and sighed. Time to start from scratch.

I punched trees for awhile before getting bored and making sticks so I could craft a bow and sword. I decided that I would stick to basics and try not to advance too high because I would be receiving some of my old armour from Dream and Illumina. The entire night, I slain zombies and skeletons, collecting XP and arrows while hunting for something to eat.

I came across an ocean and smiled, taking off Sapnap's bandana and scrubbing it clean. Once I was satisfied, I placed down a crafting table and laid the bandana out to dry on top of it. I then stripped down to my underclothes and jumped into the cold ocean, swinging at fish with my sword.

Once I built up half a stack, I climbed out and wrung my hair out, eating the fish raw as I didn't have the right materials to craft a furnace or smoker. I felt a little sick but energized nonetheless. Once I finished eating, I laid on the sand and curled up, waiting for everyone else to go to sleep so I could drift off as well.

When the morning hit, I stretched and smiled. I picked up my clothes and got dressed, taking Sapnap's bandana and wrapping it around left hand so it hurt less when I used my bow. I collected all my items and set off to find the boys, the whole time I yelled their names.

I tried to use the same route I used to find the desert village where I first met Sapnap but it seemed like some of the terrain had changed. Speaking of change, it was so weird how that gust of wind kept me from jumping into Dream's arms. It was so abnormal. Like a person controlled it...

I looked up and saw some spiders that were roaming and decided to get some target practice in, shooting them dead and then picking up the arrows and XP. I was getting really good, and I knew I could utilize my bow skills in The End.

I had seen the desert village and smiled, knowing I just had to find the cave across the river and then head northeast to where Night would be waiting for us.

As I passed through the village, I realized everyone was inside, which was unusual. I tried to open one of the doors to ask what was going on, but they held it shut tightly. I raised a brow and turned around, seeing ravagers and what seemed to be vindicators and evokers in their way to start a raid. My jaw dropped. I was underprepared, clad in a chestplate and boots, stone sword held tightly in my right hand.

I scaled one of the larger houses in the village and steadied my bow, getting in a few hits before they reached the village. I took out all of the Illagers, leaving the ravager to be the last raider standing.

I jumped off of the large house and stared the ravager down, trying to intimidate it. The large beast made a dash straight for me and I pulled out raw beef, holding it out in front of me, closing my eyes tightly in a way of bracing myself for possible impact.

The creature stopped in front of me and ate the beef, staying calm. I smiled and fed it more beef, causing the large animal to nuzzle its head against my small frame. I giggled and climbed on top of the beast, getting ready to set off and find my friends.

I heard someone call out from behind me and I swivelled around to see who it was. A villager made its way over to me and offered food and arrows. I smiled and thanked them before setting off to find my boys. As the large creature and I ventured in silence, I took note of the orange sky. The stars were setting early and they looked so pretty.

I smiled and thought of my new friends; how much fun we had been having although our circumstances weren't the best. I hope we can still stay friends after we beat the game and go home. It would be cool to stream and make videos together.

I had seen the familiar stream with the cave across it and patted the ravager lightly, telling him to swim across. Thanks to my new friend, I don't have to get wet again. I've gotten rather tired of it. As I felt my new pet climb back on land, I kept him walking in the same direction that we found Night.

"I'm going to name you Solace. It means comfort. You've been a really big help. I haven't been alone in this world for so long before." I smiled as I rubbed his head lovingly.

I had seen light up ahead and got excited. Solace must have sensed it and started sprinting unexpectedly. I held onto him tightly as he charged the area of light.

"It's a ravager!" I heard George yell in our direction.

"How did that muffinhead get over here!" Bad squeaked.

"And why is it all alone?" Sapnap questioned. I heard two swords being drawn, most likely Dream and Illumina.

"He's not alone! He's come with company!" I squealed as I pulled on Solace's reigns to get him to stop. I hopped off once the creature halted and grinned in delight.

"MARE!" Dream yelled and laughed.

"What the hell- I didn't know you could tame ravagers..." Illumina said as I walked over to the group.

"You can't. Not in traditional minecraft, anyway. But I think some of the rules can be bent here and there. We just gotta find out which ones are flexible." I grinned.

"You're amazing! Without you we'd probably be all over the place!" Bad ran over and hugged me. I hugged him back and laughed, thanking him for his kind words.

I handed Sapnap his bandana and grinned, but he asked me to help him tie it around his head. I assisted him and adjusted it accordingly, giving him a thumbs up after I was done.

"It's dark so I say we build a small wood house and catch some rest before we make a portal tomorrow," I suggested and everyone agreed.

We all worked together to put the house up and made a pen for Night and Solace. We all entered the house and started cooking our food and rationing out armour and tools.

"So, I get to ride the horse tomorrow, right?" Sapnap said with a cheeky grin.

"NO!" Everyone yelled in unison.

"Fine. I'll walk. You guys are mean," he pouted.
