The Journal

Author's Note: Decided to make this cause I don't have any ideas for my other fic at the moment. This fic is a somewhat Robinson Crusoe-ish type.

Disclaimer: I don't own Minecraft, Mojang does. I didn't write Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe did. I don't make money from this, just so you know. It's FREE!

Chapter 1: Awake

Day 1

I awoke on a land I am unfamiliar of. I don't remember who I am nor how I got here. I take a full 360 degree view of my surroundings. It is all a blur in my head. I felt a brush of cold air hit me, I realised I'm naked. Not even a single piece of clothing on me. I need to get some clothes before I die of hypothermia.

I managed to kill a few cows using my bare hands. I carefully tied the leathers I collected to make a tunic and some pants. It wasn't much, but atleast I'm not shivering anymore. Now I need a fire to cook the beef I collected from my kills.

It took me a few tries, but I finally built my fire. I roasted my beef and had a wonderful dinner. I saved a few pieces of beef for tommorow. My bed for the night was high up in the tree. I don't wanna get a huge cut in the forehead by some bear or something. Well, good night.

I just heard some moaning below me. I don't wanna look. Honestly, I'm scared for my life right now.

That's it. I've had enough. I'm gonna climb down and see what is causing the moans.

Oh my, it appears to be an undead person. How is that possible? Who even cares? I'm gonna have to find a way to kill it. In the horizon, I see a lot of large spiders, green things and skeletons? One of the spiders seems to have heard to moans and is approaching my location. I have to kill the 'thing' before they kill me.

I've disposed of the undead man by stabbing him in the head using a stick. I was too late though, the spider had already reached the tree. i quickly hid behind the bushes and when it searching for the source of the noise in another location, I silently ran up behind it poked all of its eyes. Next thing I knew, I was on the back of this huge beast riding it like a bull. I held on the spider's thick hairs tightly so I didn't fall off.

It brought me far from the tree and into the field that was filled with these things. I just held on until I could think of something. But before I could even think, an arrow travelled just inches away from my face.

"Brethren, kill him. We have feast tonight. We have roast HUMAN!" the skeleton said grimly.

'Dammit!' I thought. I was gonna be dinner for the undead if I didn't think of something.

A few more arrows missed me, but one hit the spider in the abdomen. It stopped jumping and turned to hunt the skeleton who shot it. That's when I got the idea.

"Hey spidey." I whispered to the spider. Hoping it would understand me.

Surprisingly, it looked up and made a slurping sound. I guess it understood me.

"Do you want to fight alongside these foul skeletons?" I asked. He slurped twice.

"Guess that means no, huh? Ok, here's the plan. Call some of your friends here to join you and we'll fight them together. Deal?" the spider nodded and made a loud hissing sound. Suddenly, spiders started pouring out from the cave nearby and from the trees. The skeletons and a few green things stopped dead in their tracks.

"Fellow spiders! Tonight we shall no longer fight with these wretched skeletons. They are evil. Look at what one of them did to your brother." I said pointing at the arrow still sticking out of Spidey's abdomen. They all hissed in anger, some shooting webs from their abdomens, some wiping their fangs with a liquidy substance. I knew they were angry and ready to kill. So I said the word that they've all been waiting for, "CHARGE!"

The spiders rammed the skeletons into pieces. Some even spinned them in webs and hung them upside down. Then suddenly a loud 'BOOM' was heard it silenced the battlefield. Apparently the green things exploded upon contact. So, I had to be vigilant. A few feet away I could see a bow and some arrows laying vacant, perhaps the skeletons must have drop them. I took the bow and collected the arrows laying around.

One of the green things were about to explode at one of the spiders, but thanks to my fast reflexes I shot an arrow straight to it's head, killing it instantly. The spider slurped as a sign of thanks and threw me a bag. I wondered what was in it. But I had no time to check now, I just tied it to the side of my pants.

The sound of bones breaking, explosions and hissing filled the air. I hope it'll be over soon.

The battle continued until the break of dawn. I managed to kill at least 15 of those monsters even though I was tired. But then a miracle happened, the skeletons suddenly were burning non-stop. Most fell to the ground immediately. As I was walking in the bone scattered field, I heard a cracking sound and looked down. I accidentally stepped on a bone fragment of a former skeleton, it turned to dust and something magical happened. Grass and flowers started growing around it. 'Hmm. Interesting. 'I should collect some later on.' I thought to myself. A few of the spiders gave me some silk bags. The smell of sulphur was strong.

"Gunpowder?" I asked them. They all slurped in unison.

"Uh huh." I nodded.

Spidey came up to me and slurped and hissed as a sign of thanks.

"Your welcome buddy." I said patting him on the head.

Suddenly a skeleton was thrown out of the cave by a few spiders.

"OOF! Please don't hurt me, sir. OW! Er, human.. Whoever you are. I beg you!" The skeleton said clearly as he was burning and kneeling in front of me.

I wasn't really surprised to see a talking skeleton because of last night's event. But this one was talking clearly. Not like last night's skeleton. I thought he could help me later on.

"Spidey, bring him to the river." Spidey just slurped and spinned the skeleton in a cocoon.

Once we reached the river, Spidey threw the colored skeleton into the water. He look relieved. He was slowly turning back to his original color. I just stood there and looked at him.

"I am ever so grateful to you! O' kind one! I am forever in your debt" the skeleton said as he bowed down towards me.

"Good. Now tell me, what is your name?" I asked as I cleared my throat.

"Brodun, your highness." He replied looking up at me.

"I see. So, Brodun, do you understand the language of these spiders?" I asked him pointing towards the Spidey.

"Indeed. I understand 20 different languages." He informed me.

'Good, perhaps I could ask him to teach me.' I thought. I gave him my helmet and motioned for him to follow me back to the field. He nodded in agreement and wore the helmet and got out of the water. He walked beneath the shade of the trees as he followed.

We arrived and all the spiders lowered their front legs and bowed towards me.

"Rise! You are not my servants. You are my friends." I said as they all rose. They all shot their webs out and slurped at me. Moments later, they all left. Some went back in the caves, some swung up at the trees and dissappeared. Only me, Spidey and Brodun were left.

Spidey slurped at me, Brodun translated. "Well, I guess it's time we go our on ways. I have to get back to my wife and kids." Spidey hit his leg on mine playfully. I nodded and he shot a web towards the branches and dissapeared. I just sighed. I'm damn tired. I collapsed on the ground. I heard Brodun say something, but it was too muffled for my ears. I just dozed off.

Note: I'm thinking of making a good/bad guy for the next chapter. New companion? New foe? Suggestions?
