Willow's PoV

This was weird. Last thing I remember was falling asleep, and now…where am I? There was nothing but blackness, all except the floor, which was glowing purple. The glow would increase and decrease rhythmically, as if it were pulsing.

''Is this really what I'm like now?" came a voice from behind me. I turned and saw a girl about two years younger than me, with pink hair and pink, lavender and black clothes. She also had pink eyes that seemed to sparkle slightly.

''Who are you? Where am I?"

''My name is Nova, and you're dreaming. Well, sort of. I found a way to talk to you through your subconscious mind.''

''You're Nova? I know you're very significant somehow, but to what, I don't know.''

''Your so-called father is pure evil. You think he adopted you? No, he created you. He took me from my home and overwrote my genetic code with some kind of magic spell. It made me into you.''

''We… we're the same person?'' I was shocked. I couldn't even comprehend this. We are the same person? She was turned into me?

''This must be pretty hard for you, but you know it's real, somewhere in there is a pure soul that my presence wouldn't have any positive effect on. That's you. I can't stay here long but just think, is what you're doing right?"

I woke up a few seconds later. I hadn't really taken it all in, but it must mean something bigger. Is it even possible for this to happen? The Ender Kingdom Archives might have something that I can use…

Steve's PoV

After the horrifying dream I had it was hard to think, but I decided to put it out of my mind by helping some of my friends with their mods. Whether it was mining up various new ores I had never seen before, or learning how to double the amount of metal you get from them, it was all so new to me. By the time I had finished I was covered in oil, had bruises from getting hit by one of Vanessa's minecarts, burns from falling into Crystal's smeltery, and lacerations from when I accidentally hooked up Stephanie's Industrial Sawmill to the wrong voltage and it blew up. Flying sawblades everywhere. It was time for dinner, so I just decided to eat something and regenerate a few hearts. When I got to the dining area, everyone was there. I sat down between Yaebi and Stephanie. It gave me a chance to apologize to her about the sawmill thing.

''No shweat, that shtuff happens to me all the time, you jusht gotta know when to get out of the way.'' she said with her mouth full of bread.

''And another thing, how did you get all this non-mod related technology? Telephones, TVs, skyscrapers, where did it all come from?

''Well, it may not be mods, but to be completely honest, we learned it all from players.''

''Players?''

''Yeah, it must have been after you were frozen, but apparently humans evolved according to the updates Minecraftia was given. They made all of this stuff because they needed it as they got more advanced and stuff. Apparently after the thing where the players got locked out of the world, mobs learned to copy their technology, that's one reason why we're so advanced, we sorta got a head start, thanks to your ancestors.

''Hey, you guys. I just finished working on some carts that place track in front of them then pick them up again. Means we can go anywhere really fast. The Ender kingdom will be no problem to get to.'' Sera told us, much to Vanessa's surprise.

''Awesome, we'll leave tomorrow. It was nice of you to let us stay, mister Fayruz.'' Cupa said.

''We might tag along for a while actually. It's more fun that we've ever had since our town burnt down and we had to move to this dump.'' Isabella said grumpily.

The rest of the humans agreed.

''Well, in that case, it'll be good to have you. We need a really huge team to fight back against Herobrine, this guy's the real deal. Tomorrow, we start to save the world…''
