Hi this is my first story and I hope you like it. Flames will be used to cook marshmallows. :] I do not own minecraft.

Prolog: trees.

Vanessa sighed. She was cutting a tree down with an iron axe'just a couple more blocks' she thought. She had been gathering supplies since dawn; the trees weren't as dangerous then. This started a few weeks ago, everything was fine until then, and none of the 'smart' villagers could find out why. They could only tell everyone it came from the trees and it was less effective at night. At first you're just tired and have a head ache, then it gets worse and worse until you die. It was affecting Vanessa worse now and she could feel her strength leaving her. Finally she was done cutting down the tree and she could leave. She had decided to leave yesterday and had been gathering supplies since then. She knew she couldn't just go to a different village across mincraftia, everywhere with trees was unsafe, so she decided to go to the nether. Health potions helped with the sickness and there were no trees in the nether, so she saved all her potions for the nether and gathered obsidian to make a portal. She had thought that if she ran out of supplies she could just come back at night. Vanessa entered the cave she had cleared out earlier and got out her flint and steel. If she was going to light the portal she had to do it now. She walked over to the obsidian structure and hit the flint onto the steel. The portal lit easily, Vanessa sighed and with one more glance outside she walked through the portal, almost regretting not staying in the overworld.

Sorry the chapter is so short I'll try to make the other chapters longer. Please put Constructed criticism in the comments.
