Ok, this fanfic is basically my take on the amazing "Shadow of Israphel" Minecraft Youtube series by the Yogscast. I don't own any of the characters or story, they belong to the Yogscast. Some of this will be different from the series, but it's my story so live with it.

It starts from the very first time they played Minecraft together, so enjoy.

Warning: Contains strong language.

Shadow of Israphel

Part one: The adventures of Xephos and Honeydew

Chapter one: Where the hell are we

The sounds of the water were very relaxing. The two men lay there, lying on the snow, fast asleep. As the sun rose bright and warm, the first man opened an eye, very sleepily, and after seeing his surroundings, jerked awake and stood up. He looked down quickly at the other man, who was still snoring very loudly. He seemed to be wearing armour made of iron, or some other metal, however it looked severely damaged. From underneath his iron helmet, a large amount of ginger hair flowed, the man also noticed a large amount sprouting from the, eh, well the impolite region shall we say. The man knew that this sleepy little guy must be a dwarf, and from all the stories he'd heard they were the best, and the worst people to be with when stranded in a strange place. As the man looked, again, around him, he realized just how lost he was. He had never seen any place like this. All around them snow was lying on the ground. There seemed to be a small desert fairly close. Ahead of him was the sea. And there seemed to be a small dark cave behind the man. He sat down on the snow and thought. The last he could remember he had been on the ship. The ship. His ship. But he couldn't remember what happened after. There was no attack, no nothing, so what happened? His crew must be worried sick. Then he thought what if they are trapped here as well.

He sat for a while, before he checked his pockets. Empty. He had his commander uniform on, but all his possessions were gone. It was nearing midday now, and the other man leapt up yelling

"It's cold! It's bloody cold!"

He too looked around and the first man knew he was thinking the same thing. Where the hell are we?

The dwarf saw the first man, walked over and stood next to him. Neither of them spoke for a while until the dwarf finally said, in a gruff voice

"I don't suppose you have any idea of how we got here"

The other man sat quietly, staring ahead of him. The dwarf sighed loudly, and didn't speak again for several minutes.

"I'm Honeydew, Dwarf of Khaz Modan. And you are?" He asked the silent man. The man was pulled from his thoughts, and he muttered for the first time

"Er, Xephos, my name is, Xephos, captain of the Starfleet Atlantic."

"Well, blimey that is impressive. Em I don't mean to be rude, but erm where is your ship, did you lose it?

He chuckled at his own joke. Xephos however seemed annoyed. Honeydew seemed to sense this, as he just went back to standing. They watched the sun rise a bit for about ten minutes, before Honeydew turned back, and spoke

"Well seen as we're here, and no one else is around, and it's not gonna be day forever, why don't we explore a bit?"

"What do you mean? What's wrong with the night?"

"You don't want to know" Replied Honeydew. Wondering how he knew so much, he followed as the dwarf took the lead.

The snow seemed to go on forever. In Xephos' mind it was beautiful, Honeydew gave no opinion, but Xephos supposed he preferred mines and the underground. There were a few trees that Honeydew suggested cutting down for wood. "We're going to need a lot of materials." He pointed out helpfully. He spotted the dark cave that Xephos had seen earlier. He seemed to be heading towards it, when he slipped and fell. Xephos rushed forward and saw the ice cracking. It split, and Xephos fell backwards. Honeydew was sliding further and further, any second now he would fall. Xephos pushed himself forward, grabbed the dwarf's hand and pulled him back up. As more ice cracked, they ran, jumped and went skidding through the mud. Honeydew sat there breathing heavily, before he held out his hand.

"You saved me. Thank you friend"
