Chapter One - Finding Out
Alex's POV
Alex stretched and woke up. She grabbed her bow. It was another normal day in Minecraftia. I hope I find a village. She thought. Alex rolled up her bedroll and put it into her silver backpack. Earth kids had something called 'inventories' but all she had was a pack. She started heading west, toward a forest.
Bad news: The forest was just a little gathering of trees. Good news: It belonged to a village! This was a large village, surrounded by a wall. There were iron doors on the wall, with no apparent lever or pressure plate. So Alex did the polite thing. She knocked.
A villager came to the door. "I come in peace." Alex said, putting her bow away. The villager nodded and pulled a lever. "Welcome to North Pinecone Village. Otherwise known as NPC Village." Alex nodded a thanks and set off wandering the streets.
She found a nice patch of grass to sit in and took off her pack. She had one piece of iron leftover from making her sword and iron tipped arrows, a few ink sacks and some fish. Someone might trade. She went to the library first. The Librarian gave her two books for five ink sacks. The books were Minecraftia History and Notch: The First Miner.
When she stepped outside, someone took one look at her, and gasped. "Y-you!" He gapped. "Your th-the one!" "Excuse me?" Alex replied, thinking the villager was crazy. "The one of the prophecy!" He cried. "What?" Alex said. "What prophecy?!"
Steve's POV
Steve came out of the mine dirty, dusty, and loaded with cobblestone. His house was right over the hill, halfway in expansion. He had fenced off all the mobs and put in water defense for endermen. His blue backpack was loaded with cobble for his new room. He quickly built the needed expansions and went into his house. It was steak for dinner.
After a good night's rest, Steve went back into his mine. There was a villager in his mine. "What are you doing here?" Steve asked the villager. "This is a private mine." "I know." The villager said. "Get out." Steve said. "Ok." Said the villager.
That's odd. Steve thought. There's not a village for miles around. And if that villager knew this mine was, well, mine, why'd he come in? Steve pondered on these thoughts as he mined. Suddenly, He caught a glimpse of shining blue. "DIAMONDS!" He yelled. When he mined all of them out, there were seven in all. It must've been a big vein.
When he got back up to his house, he made a diamond sword and a diamond cap. He looked at himself in some iron, and smiled. He looked awesome! He went into his room for some food. There was a surprise for him. "You!" He yelled. "What are you doing in my house?!" The villager was back again.
"You're the one." The strange visitor said. "The one?" Steve said. "Yes" The villager said. "The one of the prophecy."
Mike's POV
Mike had just finished repairing his house from a group of endermen. They had taken blocks from all over. Once he was finished, Mike stepped back to look at his large house. I think I'm going to build a pool now. He would need more cobble for the bottom and sides. Glowstone for lights.
If there was one thing Mike hated, it was gathering. Mining. He hated that there weren't just blocks at his service. He'd seen some Earth players. They had done something to get unlimited blocks. And they could fly. If he could have those abilities, it would be great.
Mike set off to the local mine. He had built a rail road to it from his house. Once Mike was down to the first level, he went into the shortest shaft he saw and started digging.
Mike's mind always wondered while he was mining. There was nothing to think about as you dug out blocks. Miners probably think about blocks Mike thought. 'What is around the corner?' one might think. I just don't care.
Mike came back to his house with a lot of cobblestone. As much as his green backpack could hold. Mike walked out to the back of his house and found a large space in his backyard. Perfect for a pool. He started digging. This is what Mike loved best. Building, thinking, creating new things.
Then he saw a flash of tan. There was a sign in his swimming pool. He picked it up. What it said was even weirder than where it was.
You are the one.
Follow the path of the setting sun.
You will find two to call a friend.
And bring the prophecy to an end.
"What the heck?" Mike said after he read it. But for some reason, Mike believed the sign. He would go west! He would find two friends, and bring 'the prophecy' to an end!
