PROLOGUE

Alex expertly maneuvered the blade straight into one of the Wither's necks. The creature was bewildered by the blow, and it's upper body began to spasm. Alex was filled with joy, watching the terrible creature suffer. However, the victory was short lived, and the creature quickly regained control of itself. Suddenly, a wither skull generated out of thin air in front of the Wither's third head. The skull propelled itself forward, leaving a trail of decay in its wake. Alex tried to dodge the attack, but she was too late. The skull made a direct hit on Alex's chest, sending her flying through the air. The skull's black cloud of decay quickly consumed her. Alex's head was spinning, unable to focus. She struggled to get back up, but she had been infected with the all well known wither sickness, obtained from the skull's devastating blow. Immediately she collapsed, and everything went black.
