Day 1... My spawn

Upon spawning onto this new spawn world I was amazed by the light, I had spawned dead center of a desert. As I looked around I found a small river before me and a sandy ledge behind me. Figuring I needed a good look around I decide to go up this ledge and get a better view.

I was astounded by what I seen right there near my spawn was a village, not a large one but still a village. With how many seeds I've been warped to very rarely have I spawned in walking distance to a village, a quick look was in order.

The village had many villagers but no blacksmith or temple. A few farms however where around this simple desert village but to my surprise there were no trees. Realizing that without trees I wouldn't be able to build even the simplest tools needed to survive I knew I had to venture out from this village but I had spent too much time here the sun was already setting.

I knew without a sword, or any tool, I could not defend myself let alone the village from the "E-Spawner" and my presence within the village would alert the E-spawner. I had to leave before sundown if this village were to survive, but to where?

All I could see from the highest point was desert, I had no food and very little sand blocks to protect me, but I had to leave to save the village. So I set out into the desert.

Night of day 1... The E-Spawners are coming

Out into the desert I went, with no idea where I was going. All I knew was I need 2 things, a shelter for the night and trees for building. I set my eyes on the largest sand dune I could see, but night was coming a shelter had to be made.

Quickly I pulled out what supplies I had, small portion of food, a few Sand blocks, a little dirt and a few sticks. I wasn't going to last long like this. As fast as I could I ran to the top of a sand dune and placed the sand blocks 2 high around me. But just as I did the E-Spawners found me!

All around me they started spawning MOBS. Monsters of all shapes luckily my shelter protected me from there sight except 1. A Baby Zombie MOB had spawned near enough to me to see me. I was in big trouble, unlike normal zombies babies won't die in the light when the sun rises again and because he had seen me he might not spawn out like the others would. I was in trouble!

Thinking fast I realized I had but one chance I had to lure him into a trap but how. Looking around all I had was a stick and some food. Nothing I could trap and kill this baby zombie with, so how could I stop its assault?

Then it occurred to me I was standing on sand., 4x4 blocks if I dug out 3 of the 4 blocks and made them 2 deep then I could let the baby into my shelter and he would fall. It was risky but something had to be done. Quickly I started digging 1 down, then 2, all the way around. I was ready, now hope that it works.

I started with one square of the wall. Something low enough he could get in but not enough something else could, nothing. So I took out another block, nothing then the 3rd block, now risking it jumping at me I was getting scared. I removed 1 more block, his lifeless eyes locked onto mine as he charged me. Will my trap work or fell? My life was now on the line.

SWOOOOSH RWAWR

It worked! As he entered he fell all the way down, quickly I sealed the walls so nothing else could come in, but now what? As I stared into his eyes I knew he would kill me if given a chance. He was to low to hit with a stick and other then my food all I have where the sand blocks I dug out of the hole.

Wait I wondered, sand falls when placed, I could bury him like the dead should be. I quickly began placing the sand blocks and burying the hole I had dug up moments before. While doing so I was continuing hoping he wouldn't simply set up them. 1, 2, 3 block, it worked the MOB Baby had been buried; he now could finally rest in peace.

With the threat gone I was now finally able to rest at least a little till the sun starts to rise,

I hope I can find some Wood soon.

Morning of DAY 2... Our eyes Locked

I woke up early today, just before sun rose into the sky so I could look around. I had a long day ahead of me and the desert was going to get hot fast.

As I looked out of my walled enclosure I could see the MOBS as they started to burn in the sun, soon it would be safe to leave and get on my way again, I thought. That's when I saw it, a MOB like no other; it had a tall black slender body with purple glowing eyes, and this creature whatever it was, was walking round my enclosure! What was this thing and a better question did it know I was here?

As I pondered these things and the likely hood I could simply run for it and hope it wouldn't follow, it happened!

Our EYES locked.

The creature gave off a sound which deafened me for a time as it ran to the edge of my shelter. Would these walls of sand hold? All I could do was hope!

Moments past that seemed like hours as the sound faded into nothing. Was it gone or was it still outside my walls. All I could do was look. I peeked over the walls of my small shelter and again I could see him. Standing there mouth wide open and eyes peering into my soul. Was I doomed to die today?

"No" I said to myself "I must survive… I will survive"

All I had in my pack left, I could use, was a few sticks. But if it's all I have, it's what I must use. With stick in hand I readied myself to attack.

WWWAACCKK

It was a solid hit but then he was gone! Where did he go? Behind me I heard its screech. I turn and again just on the other side of my wall was the creature, but how? Had it teleported to get out of danger, but why? I had no time to question, I quickly hit the creature again and again it was gone? As I turned I yet again seen this creature but this time he was farther away and running at me. The wall will hold I said to myself, the wall will hold. As the creature approached I swung my stick as hard as I could, as it impacted the creature yet again teleported away. This time I could see his full shape, he was a very tall humanoid, slender and black with slim slender arms and legs. His head with full mouth open was quite large, his eyes glowed purple and in his hands he held a single block. Why I have no idea and I had no time to figure it out for he was once again coming at me.

Swing after swing, hit after hit, he would teleport away and just as quickly he would run back. By this time only minutes had passed but it had felt like hours. The sun was still rising, would this man be the End of me? NO I must end this man… this ENDERMAN. I will not die here I will survive. I continued to fight him back with my little stick; over and over again I stopped his advance. Then something happened, as the sun finally rose above the horizon he stopped.

As I watched he teleported to another location this time he acted like nothing was wrong. Had he forgotten about me so quickly or had something else changed his mind. For this I couldn't say all I knew was he was gone and I still need to find a better shelter and wood if I was to survive another night.

Slowly I dug at my wall, my shelter that kept me safe from zombies and Enderman now must be dug up so I could move on. Would the Enderman attack again when my wall was down? There's no way to know for sure. So here goes, 1 block, 2 blocks, slowly I peeked around my wall. I stopped, in the distance I could see him, and his black figure was unmistakable on the dune in front of me. Then he was gone! Teleported out of sight,

Was I Finally safe?

The Daylight had finally come and the creature was nowhere in sight. I knew I needed wood, so my journey must continue. I stepped out into the desert once more. Hoping this day would be better.

Day 2... Loosing Hope

Upon looking around i could see my small sand village in the distance and using it as a marker I headed out and away.

Out and away I went deep into the desolate desert hoping to find wood, food and shelter. No needing to find wood. Even with food I couldn't cook it without a furnace and something to burn in. To make a furnace I need stone and to get stone I need a pickaxe. Without Wood or stone I cant make a pickaxe. Things were looking bleak.

After a few hours I was running low on food and water but I had been picking up any sticks I could find. If nothing else I might be able to use these to help protect myself, I thought. Its better than nothing, I think? I hope?

I managed to kill a rabbit just now, I can't cook its meat but since I'm now out of food, I must survive somehow. I'm going to eat it anyway.

Though I'm not for the texture it did help my strength enough to let me run for a little longer.

Hours have passed now and the sun is already starting to set, with no food left, and just above starving. Am I ever going to find wood? I changed directions a few times now and I'm hoping I'm not just walking in circles. I'm going to continue onward now towards the setting sun, maybe that will at least give me a little longer light. I don't have enough blocks for shelter, and now I'm out of food. I fear there is no hope but I continue anyway.

The sun is setting now, its light is but a glow on the horizon, soon night will be upon me. I doubt I will survive another night. I fear I'm losing hope. I will ever find wood?

Night of Day 2... Miracles are real

As the darkness starts to cover the land a flicker of light catches my eye. On the horizon right in front of me, I see it, a village and If nothing else…. SHELTER!

I make a dash using my last ounce of strength, and I made it by sundown. It may not be 100% safe but its shelter. As I approach I see a temple at the center of the town. It shall be my destination. Quickly I enter and just as quickly I pass the villagers and go up the ladder to the very top of the steeple. Here I feel safe. I place my last sand block on top of the stairs and hope for the villagers survival, for I know the E-Spawners might find out I'm here and send a siege of zombies to kill us all. All I can do it pray and sleep.

Dawn of the 3rd day... Hope for the future.

As I awake from my slumber on the top of the temples steeple the sunlight was just coming over the horizon and starting to cover the land. i looked over the edge of the steeple watching the sun rise over the desert. With the sun still as bright as always, I prayed Id find wood soon.

Turning around to unbury the ladder I saw it. On the other side of the village, where the sun had set the night before, TREES….

On the one side of the village was desert but, to my surprise, the other side was a savanna with trees. They were here and there, more then I have seen in this world so far, I finally had hope again. It brought a tear to my eyes. I would finally have wood.

When I finally came down the steeple and looked around the village. There I found a blacksmith who was willing to give me a few supplies like iron armor, iron, and even a iron pickaxe to help me on my journey. He was even willing to give me one of his furnaces. I was ready to start my journey. Into the savanna I went with new hope for the future.

Into the Savanna Day 1… Hope is here at last
