War of the Crimson Rose: A Minecraft Fanfiction
By: Captain Spectre
Chapter 1: In the Beginning
I walked home after a long day in the fields. The amount of wheat I collected would make many loaves of bread. By the time I made it back to my house, a small cobblestone house ten blocks in length by ten blocks wide by four blocks high, night had fallen and the moon was starting to rise in the sky. I opened my door and walked in. Then I went to my crafting table and placed the wheat in. After that I laid down in my bed and slept. In the morning I grabbed my iron pickaxe and walked to mineshaft and headed down. After yet another day without finding diamonds and only redstone and more iron. On my way home it turned night and the mobs came out. I started running through the woods that surrounded my house and soon became lost. I began wandering within that forest of oak trees. I had eaten most of my bread and was starting to lose hope of ever finding my house when I came across a tall mountain. I began climbing the mountain and finally after many days and many nights I reached the summit. There in a small valley stood thousands of flowers. They were the color of crimson fire . I picked one of the Crimson Roses and left. After wandering for more days I found my house after eating my last piece of bread. I planted my rose in the dirt in front of my door. After a week of having the crimson rose life seemed better the days in the field and mines were still tiring but the light of that rose swept away my exhaustion. However who ever said all good things must come to an end was correct. One day when I came home I found that my rose was no longer in its usual location instead in front of my door stood an Enderman holding in one hand a book and in the other my precious crimson rose. The Enderman dropped the book and teleported away. I picked up the book and started reading.
"Dear Captain Spectre,
I have been watching you for quite some time. The rose that was previously in your possession will look lovely in my realm.
Sincerely,
Enderdragon"
I swore to kill the Enderdragon and retrieve my rose. I set out to the nearest village to find help. Though the villagers there were helpful and offered supplies and good for green gemstones, none would come with me on my quest simply claiming that all that opposed the Enderdragon had died. They said that those who try must build a portal to hell and kill flying creatures that spat fire balls that live in giant fortresses. After collecting eleven rods and turning them into a fine powder, I would have to collect eleven ender pearls I must combine them together to make eyes of ender. After that I would have to set out to find a stronghold and then find the ender portal and then I would put the eyes of ender in to the portal and then and only then would I be able to travel to the end. And so I set out to find lava because I would be doing the 'bucket method' by collecting ten buckets of lava and creating a mold and creating a portal by those means.
