Chapter 2
Exploring
"Cool! That's a nice name." I said. "So what other things should I know about this world, it looks like it's got a lot of mysteries" "Well, the mysteries are up to you to find out. So I must go now, but I will be there when you need me the most" he said. "Wait! You can't leave me now, I just got here!" but it was too late, he had already gone. "Well this is going to be more difficult than I thought" I said to myself. "Well I guess I can go and explore since that shelter was kinda temporary" I said as I started walking across the grassy plains. Soon enough, it started getting dark and I was a long way from my old shelter, so I thought, "Where am I going to stay for the night?" So I wondered a little farther and found myself heading straight to a good spot to stay. I got down to it and made myself comfortable there.
It then got really dark and with no one around to comfort me I sat in the corner hoping that mobs and creatures wouldn't kill me. I sat, sat, and sat. I became bored, but no longer scared and decided to go out in the wild. I ran so fast that I burst into a sprint, out of my shelter… and out into the wild. The first thing I saw was a white figure, "It looks like…a…skeleton!" I said to myself. I ran after it and started yelling as I slashed it left right and with the final blow from above. It dropped two arrows, a bone, and a bow. "Yes! I got a bow!" I then started shooting them in the sky as the sun came up. When the sun was fully up I decided to go mining for coal and other essential materials. I then came to a cave and thought that I should mine there. On my way though I saw coal, but it was hard to tell for sure so I assumed that it was since it was the only black thing there. I then used it to craft a torch since it was dark in the cave and monsters could spawn there. As I came around a corner I saw another creepy green and it blew up, but I moved around the corner of the cave just in the nick of time. I poked my head out around the corner and saw it had blown up the stone and coal nearby. As I was collecting the stuff that was blown up I heard a groaning noise and quickly turned my head and saw a zombie. I pulled out my sword and hit it as it flew back; I hit it again and then drove my sword into its heart. I wiped the sweat off of my head and went back to mining. As I got deeper I started to see something glow down in a hole. "Lava." I said to myself, "Lava means that there could be diamonds and other rare minerals, but first I need an iron pickaxe" so I made a stone pickaxe, then I found iron ore and mined it. I took my cobblestone and crafted into a furnace. I started smelting my iron ore into iron ingots and made an iron pickaxe. I took a big breath and jumped into the hole.
