The blood moon was something everyone feared. When the blood turned blood red mob spawning would increase five times and they didn't care if there was light. The mobs were stronger and faster, basically the only way to survive one of these would be to dig yourself a little cave or be in a heavily guarded city which Steve was not in either. Steve ran as fast as he possibly could; he was on the main road headed to Kvatch, the closest city to where his house was. As they were running an arrow from a skeleton hit Steve in his chest luckily the leather deflected most of the damage but Steve still felt it. "Ah" Steve yelled. In Front of them was a horde of zombies and spiders. The spiders started shooting webs at Steve and dodged three of them until one hit his right hand, then his left, then his feet. "Meat run!" Steve yelled before the web hit his mouth. "This is it." Steve thoughted. Meat wouldn't listen; he stood in front of Steve and started barking. Steve then heard distant footsteps from behind him. He couldn't turn around and see where they were coming from. Just then horses ran past Steve and Meat. The riders were fitted with iron armor and swords. They charged into the pack of mobs and killed half of them. These must be guards of Kvatch, Steve thought. The guards ran past the mobs then looped back around and finished off the horde with their spears. Someone came from behind Steve and sliced the cobweb off of Steve. "Thank you" Steve said as he got up. "No need to thank me, it's the right thing to do." The man said. "Come on, get on my horse, we have to get out of here." The man said. Steve grabbed Meat and got on the man's horse. The 2 guards, Steve, The man, and Meat rode to Kvatch. This is the first blood moon I've experienced Steve thought. The last blood moon was 30 years the group rode they dodged arrows and decapitated zombies and skeletons on their way to Kvatch. "Look! The gates are up ahead." One of the guards stated. Steve looked up ahead to see the walls of Kvatch were under attack by a giant horde of mobs. At the top of the walls all of the guards were firing arrows at the mobs below. It was barely helping. " We have to open that gate." The man said, "I have some TNT." one of the guards said. "Use it" the man said. The guard got off his horse and had TNT in one hand and flint/steel in the other. He set 5 blocks of TNT behind the horde. "Come and get some!" the guard yelled. The horde turned away from the walls and headed towards the guards. The guard waited nervously for the horde to close in. As soon as they got close enough he lit the TNT and ran away."Get back!" The guard shouted as he ran at Steve and the others. The TNT flashed one last time then blew up.
