Episode 1: The Awakening

Part 3

Steve looked at the fireworks and remembered what Lance told him, he rushed to get them,he looked in his pocket for a lighter Lance gave him along with the fireworks "Come on i'm sure it was somewhere around here" He looked on the ground next to the monster, the lighter was there, he tried to grab it but the monster threw him against a tree, a little stunned, he ran towards the lighter and rolled in the ground to avoid the monster's attack, he managed to grab the lighter and lit the firework as soon as he could, he launched it and as the fireworks reached a certain height it exploded into a cloud of black smoke, Steve was looking at the sky and didn't notice the attack of the creature coming towards him, he fell on the floor knocked out, he could barely see the monster approaching him, he closed his eyes preparing for his death when he heard familiar voices, "Dad?!" He exclaimed with relief, suddenly his dad along with Lance and Mr. Derrick appeared with swords in their hands, Lance hurried to attack the creature but ot blocked his attack, "What kind of monsters is this? " Lance was surprised by the creature's strength,"It can't be possible" Mr. Derrick was shocked by the monster, he casted a spell and used it on the creature, it screamed in pain and proceeded to attack him back, Mr. Derrick launched another spell and the creature backed off,"Go away Ender abomination" He yelled at the monster, launching a third spell, and just as fast at it had appeared the monster vanished in the air, Mr. Derrick was out of breath.

"Steve! Son! Are you alright?" Richard hurried to help his son,

"Don't worry he'll be fine" Mr. Derrick said

"You said nothing could hurt him with that spell"

"Yes but i wasn't expecting an Enderman to appear"

"Wait a sec? An Enderman? Like in the legends?" Lance asked confused

"Yes! I fear this is another signal that the Ender Dragon has awaken"

"But why attack my son then?"

"There's only one possible explanation, Steve is the chosen one, the only person capable of destroying the Ender Dragon "

"Wait what? My son can't be the chosen one"

"He is Richard and there's nothing you can do to deny it"

"What should we do then?" Lance asked

"Call the king,he'll know what to do, but for now let's take Steve and the other kids back to the village" "Are you still alive?" A voice woke up Steve, he opened his eyes to see Mira, Lance's daughter staring at him, "Dad, he's not dead" She shouted. "Wha-what happened?" Steve was confused, "Dad says that an Endermom attacked you" "Endermom?" "It's Enderman" Lance corrected Mira "Steve,in a few days the king will come" Lance explained

"Really?! I've heard he's an awesome man!"

"Yes and he'll be here to see you "

"Me why?"

"Because you have to beat the Endermoms" Miras said

"Me but i'm just a kid, why me?"

"I don't know but Derrick says you're special, so it must be true, be happy Steve, you'll be a warrior you'll have a sword, a horse and you might know a beautiful girl, but for now you should rest the king is coming in two days"

Days went by really fast, the next thing Steve knew is that he was waiting for the king in the main road of the village."Stand straight Steve, we have to show respect to the king" Richard said,they could see the carriages approaching, the king was accompanied by hundreds of knights, all of them with the best diamond armors and enchanted king's carriage stopped in front of Steve, the king went out of the carriage helped by two of his personal guards.

"Your majesty" Richard kneeled "Steve show respect"He whispered

"The pleasure is all mine Sir Richard and who do we got here, is this the chosen one? Steve?"

"Yes your majesty" Richard answered.

"You can get up boy, i am the one who has to kneel, you're the one that will save us after all"

Steve stood up.

"How will i defeat the dragon?" Steve asked

"According to the legend the chosen one will be a skilled warrior who will defeat the Ender Dragon in an epic fight, Steve it's time to choose the weapon that will kill the dragon, bring the weapon!" The king ordered to his servants.

Two men approached Steve, one had a diamond sword in his hand and the other one and enchanted bow.

"These are some of the best weapons in the realm, choose wisely, because this weapon will be the one to slay the dragon"
