Ch. 1: Getting to Know Me
"Where am I?" , I said to him."Who am I?" , I took a long pause as I looked at my reflection , "What am I?"
"I'll explain everything to you later." , he said , "We don't have much time till they arrive".
"They?"
"I said I will answer all of your questions later. We don't have much time till they come to take you away. Follow me." , he said to me. So I followed him.
He took me into a hidden room behind a painting on the wall. It was a small room lit with torches and a glowstone lamp that was sitting on a handcrafted wooden sidetable. The room's walls, ceiling, and floor were all cobblestone. We sat down on two beds in th front of the room. He walked over to a small bookcase sitting on the corner of the room and pulled out a journal. He sat down beside me with the book in his hand. I looked up at him and really looked at him for the first time. I noticed that he looked a lot like me. he had my hair, skin color, and even my clothes.
"This should answer some of your questions." , he said, opening the book.
I look at the journal. It contains sketches, blueprints, and journal entries. I see a sketch of a minecrftian... it looks just like me. The entries in the book talk about some sort of a creation he was making. The book was about me.
I looked up at him and asked him, "Why did you make me?"
He replied, "To serve a specific and much needed purpose."
"What purpose?"
"We are plauged with horrible creatures, some more hostile than others. I started planning to make a creation, a creation that could help to keep us safe in this cursed world. Somehow, my plans were discovered and now there are people wanting to abuse your power for their own selfish and evil purposes. You see, that is why we have to run now, because now there has been some conspiring and if they get a hold on you they could get into your inner coding, change it into something evil and dark, and then use you to serve a very evil purpose.
"So what do I do now, I mean where do I go? I can't spend my whole life hiding and running, how will I fill my intended purpose?"
"That is what I haven't figured out yet. I have some ideas but we can discuss that tomorrow, you should get some sleep."
"I can sleep?"
"I made you like a mincraftian, not a robot. You have normal attributes like emotions, hunger, and you even have a heart."
"So does that mean I can die too?"
"Yes and no. You can but there would have to be much damage aflicted upon you. You have a very quick regeneration process and much health and strength. Now lets rest, I will answer much more in the morning."
"Ok, but just one more thing. What's your name?"
"Steve"
I paused for a brief moment, "What's mine?"
He looked at me deeply for a brief moment as if trying to read my mind and then he answered, "Herobrine".
