Hey guys, this is my first fan fiction. Decided to do a Minecraft one since it doesn't have much of a story.

A few notes:

1. I'm taking a different take in the history of Minecraft than many others

2. English is not my first language

3. Yeah, this prologue's a bit long for, well, a prologue.

Prologue

The Testificate dodged a swipe before thrusting his sword in the monster's arm. A nearby Iron Golem lead the assault to break the black monster's lines. "Don't look at the eyes, don't look at the eyes" he thought as the black abomination attempted to snap his neck. The battle was turning in the favor of the Testificates thanks to a previous rain that drenched the battlefield the night before. These monsters – these "endermen", as they refer to themselves – were apparently vulnerable to water as Testificates and other Overworld creatures are to fire. The soldier dodged the Enderman's attack and slashed its head off with his iron sword, killing it. Ignoring the carnage around him, the soldier sat, tired from the battle. The Endermen were obviously superior to the Testificates in strength, and only the Iron Golems were matched in strength.

3 centuries before, the Testificate leaders declared war against these monsters, and both sides were locked in a perpetual stalemate, neither side gaining advantage. Entire mines were stripped of its ore veins, entire cities conscripted, and millions of golems manufactured, but they still came. Testificate scientists theorized that something is in control of the Endermen, something powerful enough to fabricate the entire race. Unfortunately for the scientists, the Endermen baffled them. They were so different in many ways from the Overworld creatures, neither their biology or behavior matched patterns already known in the Overworld and the Nether. All this meant one thing: They came from another dimension, one unknown to the rest of Minecraftia until now.

"They're retreating! Keep pushing!" The Testificate leader shouted to the army as the Endermen began teleporting back to whichever realm they came from. The soldier, hearing this, rose up and picked up his sword. An Enderman attempted to fight back, but the powerful arms of an Iron Golem smashed his skull against a wall, while another successfully killed a Testificate soldier by breaking his neck. Before he could do the same to a Snow Golem and another soldier, our hero slashed his legs, severing them. As the Enderman turned painfully to look at his assailant, the soldier impaled him on his sword. More and more Endermen fell as Snow and Iron Golems pushed them back while the Testificates retreat to recover. The soldier himself still stood at the front along with a handful of other Testificates, hacking and slashing the Endermen.

"Victory is upon us! For Notch!" The soldier shouted in an attempt to bolster the morals of the Testificates.

"For Notch!" The Endermen really didn't stand a chance.

The soldier walked through the blood soaked battlefield. At the insistence of the priests, they set camp in the nearby ravine for the sake of the wounded. The soldier kept walking away from the camp as the smell of rotten flesh was too much for him. A nearby Iron Golem, patrolling the camp, offered him a rose; a habit among Golems as a symbol of the mutual relationship between Testificates and Golems.

"No thanks, I need some time for myself". The soldier declined. The Golem nodded before continuing on its stroll.

Night fell, and soon creepers and spiders began to emerge from the dark caves. While they had never been the Testificate's friends, they weren't enemies either. The soldier took a glance at a nearby creeper. No one could figure out why creepers had a frown on their faces, though soldiers and common citizens often joked that they only desire a hug; most likely fatal for both creepers and Testificates, as creepers explode when touched or provoked.

While Testificates never had any problems with spiders or their poisonous cousins, it was said that the god Herobrine was slain by a large amount of spiders when he foolishly turned himself mortal and challenged them in a cave, believing his combat skills was more than enough to deal with the eight legged creatures. No one had seen him since, not even his brother Notch.

The soldier paused in his stroll. He noticed a vague figure running towards him.

"Who goes there?" he asked as he gripped his sword's hilt. The figure crashed into him. A Testificate priest, ragged and bloodied, and obviously traumatized.

"Save yourself while you can! He'll destroy us all!" He rambled, his eyes filled with fear.

"Pull yourself together!" The soldier shouted back at him. The priest grabbed his helmet and pulled the soldier's head closer to his face.

"We are hopelessly doomed. This war is lost! He's coming!"

"…..what in Notch's name are you talking about?" The soldier asked, puzzled.

"He breathes purple fire hotter than the Nether's oceans, destroys all blocks in a single strike! He's invincible!" The priest replied

"Who are you talking about? Herobrine?" The Fallen God was said to reside in the Nether, weakened, but rumored to be gathering power until he is powerful enough to escape.

Suddenly, a deep sound echoed through the valley, shaking leaves off the trees and frightening every mob around the two Testificates. The soundwave was followed by a thump on the ground, sounding as if it's coming closer to them. The soldier pulls out his sword and moved himself in front of the priest.

"Shush, they come"

First came one, then two, dozens, then hundreds, and suddenly the two Testificates were surrounded by Endermen. As they moved closer, the soldier hears an odd chant. The Endermen, carrying various blocks, began to hit the ground multiple times, their chant intensifying. As they came within 2 blocks of the soldier and the priest, they disappeared.

"That's all?" The soldier asked, but before the priest could answer, 2 massive purple eyes opened.

As the soldier watched in horror, a massive creature materializes from seemingly nothing, and began to walk - No, crawl – closer to them. The priest was obviously getting more and more terrified, and the soldier didn't even know if he can take this beast head on.

"Go to the camp. It's on the nearest surface ravine. Tell them to evacuate. NOW!" The soldier commanded.

The priest nervously nodded before disappearing in the dark. The soldier faces the two massive eyes, which seem to be playing with him.

"A mere Testificate dares to challenge the Lord of the End, pitiful weakling" The creature spoke in a deep voice, but his mouth doesn't seem to move.

"What are you?" The soldier asked in defiance. His arm was beginning to shake from fear, but he didn't show it.

"I? I am the Ender of Realms, one who is beyond the control of Notch"

The soldier began to shiver as the beast rears up and spewed flame.

He regretted that he never fulfilled his promise of returning to his daughter.

Yep, that's about it for the prologue.

Later parts will be much longer
