I was just 12 when they came. People say they came from deep within the earth. They destroyed our homes, killed our people, and burned our cities to the ground. I watched as they came from the earth and murdered everyone I grew up with. All lead by a man who calls himself "Herobrine". I swore vengeance on him as I was carried away from our burning city into the wilderness. Not knowing what lied ahead. My name is Steve and this is my story.

It all started at my hometown Rose City. Life was simple I had my two best friends Alex and Markus. It started in the market place in the center of town. "So tell me Markus" I said "Are you sure about these villagers deals, they don't seem to be very trust worthy"

"Trust me" He declared, "These villagers are the real deal. You bring the Emeralds?" I looked into my bag, to see dozens of bright green gems.

"Tell me why we need to buy diamonds swords again?" I asked him, "Why not just mine diamonds like the normal kids?"

"Because mining is boring also there are no diamonds left to mine everyone's already taken them all" He explained.

Suddenly we got pushed over by a crowd of people rushing by. "Hey what's the big deal?" I said in an angry tone.

"There's a giant hole in the east side of town and no one knows and it swallowed some old dude's house" They said quickly before running away. Markus and I ran after them toward the cliff that separates the east side from the west side.

"Guys thank goodness I found you two" said a voice from behind. I look around to see Alex my long time best friend since we were kids. "Your mom wants you it's getting dark, and she doesn't like you out after dark."

"But look at what's happing down there" Markus said, "don't tell me that's not the coolest thing you've ever seen"

"Don't worry" I said to Alex, "Nothing bad is going to happen"

Then the ground started to shake and the stone buildings began to crumble and shake. The dogs were barking loudly as there running off into cover. I tripped onto the railing hitting my chest against the iron fence. As I was standing in pain I looked over to Markus on the ground and Alex pulling him up. Then it stopped. Everyone was looking around trying to see what damage has been caused. I then looked over from the fence to the hole. Smoke has risen from it so it's not visible. I continued to look toward it when then a figured slowly stepped out of it. When he was fully visible he looked around. Alex and Markus both were up in looking in fright at the hole and the man who emerged from it. Then he spoke.

"Hello Rose City, It seems I have made quite a mess" his voice boomed throughout the city shaking the buildings. "You're all probably wondering who I am, but that's not important" he said with a grin. "You all hide up here in the light, on the surface. But have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface, beneath your world? While your all living the life of eternal blessing, we have had to live under the ground waiting. But no longer stay under your earth while you live in luxury. I am Herobrine" He turned his head almost to look like he was staring right at us "And I am your savior"
