LOCATION: SPACE

TIME: 4.5 BILLION YEARS AGO

Notch looked out at the newborn star, an enormous cube of hot gas, constantly fusing hydrogen into helium and producing tons of light and heat. This place would do perfectly. He waved his hand, and trillions of tons of rocks began to circle the star. The stars great gravity began to force all the rocks to form a ring arouund it. This was all Notch needed to do. Now he wanted to watch his world come to life. Thousands of small rocks collided with larger ones, which collided with the largest ones. Pulled together by gravity, the asteroids coalesced into a cube, glowing, as its surface was all lava. The unused rocks formed other cubes-planets-in different places around the star. Notch didn't care about them, only the third planet from the star seemed worthy. Suddenly, he noticed some smaller asteroids, more ice than rock, crashing into the second, third and fourth planets. Notch waited for a billion years, watching as the lava on the third planet cooled and became rock, and the ice asteriods melted and filled up the planets surface. Then, suddenly, a rogue planet, one in the wrong place, crashed into the third planet. Being only a little bit bigger, the third planet survived the impact, and now had it's own moon, created by the rubble of the rogue planet. This moon, churned the oceans with it's gravity, and, along with mineral carrying meteors, created the perfect grounds for life to form. Notch watched as the seabed of the planet broke up, and were pushed to the surface, forming land. He watched as DNA molecules formed, and created genes, then cells, then became bacteria. The bacteria became tiny organisms,which became shelled predators-arthropods- which ate other creatures. He watched as some arthopods became fish, which became amphibians, and slowly took over the land. Eon after eon, species after species, extinction after extinction, Notch watched.

TIME:400 MILLION YEARS AGO (THE PERMIAN EXTINCTION)

(Herobrine) ''You have not changed, my brother. You still watch creation, yet never assist. Even now, your precious life dies, and you do not even lift a hand to save it.''

(Notch) ''I would if I could, Herobrine. Or should I address you by your former name, Brian.''

(Herobrine) ''I left that miserable life in the dust, along with you!''

(Notch) ''I will not allow you to interfere. You must follow the rules, as must I.''

(Herobrine) ''Then you will die, along with your world!''

The battle raged on for eons, ending just before the evolution of humans. Herobrine was defeated and locked in the impenetrable core of the planet, the Void, never to escape, to spend the rest of eternity alone and powerless. Notch went back to watching the planet, He took his brothers words to heart. Could he find a way to protect his creation without personally interfering? He thought for many centuries, and finally found the answer. He would have to leave this place soon, to create another world full of life, perhaps. Before he left, he blessed the next human born, that he or she would become the Chosen One, who will protect the planet, known to the inhabitants as Minecraftia, should Herobrine ever return. A human who would start life unaware of the world of adventure, drama, romance, or anything else, and become the greatest hero in all of history. The human was found. His name remembered by every citizen of Minecraftia.

Steve.
