"Ok Puar we have all the items we needed to create a Nether Portal to enter the nether, are you ready for this?" Melvin asked.
"Well it felt a bit annoying and repetitive when I had to go back into the cave to get enough Iron to make the flint and steel you wanted but sure i'm ready, how do we build one?"
Melvin explained the process of building a Nether Portal to Puar step by step. "To create a Nether Portal, you'll need to arrange your obsidian blocks in a rectangular frame. The frame should be 4 blocks tall and 5 blocks wide. Leave the center of the frame empty."
Puar nodded, visualizing the structure in his mind. "So, it's like a tall rectangle with an empty space in the middle?"
"That's right," Melvin confirmed. "Once you've constructed the frame, take your flint and steel, and right-click on one of the interior blocks. This will ignite the portal, and you'll be able to step through it into the Nether."
Puar took a deep breath, feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation. "Okay, let's do this."
With Melvin's guidance, Puar carefully placed the obsidian blocks in the correct configuration, forming the rectangular frame. He then took out the flint and steel, struck it against the obsidian block, and watched as a swirling, purple portal began to form in front of him.
"It's working!" Puar exclaimed, the portal's eerie glow reflecting in his pixelated eyes.
Melvin cautioned, "Remember, the Nether is a dangerous place filled with different creatures and hazards. Be prepared for anything"
As Puar nodded he stepped through the Nether Portal, he was immediately engulfed in a whirlwind of swirling purple and black particles. The sound was a disorienting mix of otherworldly chimes and eerie echoes. It felt like being pulled through a vortex of magic and darkness.
When the chaos subsided, Puar found himself in an entirely different dimension. The Nether greeted him with a stark, unsettling landscape. The air was thick with an acrid, burning scent, and the sky above was a fiery, reddish hue. Lava flowed in streams, casting a sinister glow, and the ground was made up of coarse, red blocks of Netherrack.
Puar glanced around, taking in his surroundings. He could see strange mushrooms growing in the distance, and ominous, floating creatures hovered in the air, their eerie cries filling the Nether.
The Nether was a place with its harsh terrain, fiery dangers, and eerie inhabitants. Honestly it felt somewhat a bit…hellish? No it was not hell but its aesthetic made sure to prove its point in being less friendly.
*The Nether*
"This place is unlike anything I've ever seen," Puar muttered to himself, his pixelated eyes darting around as he kept a vigilant watch for any threats.
Melvin's voice echoed in Puar's mind, providing insight into the Nether's nature. "The Nether is a dimension in Minecraft that is known for its hostile and treacherous environment. It's often referred to as the 'Hell' dimension due to its fiery landscapes and dangerous creatures. The Nether is filled with unique resources like Nether Quartz and Blaze Rods, but it also holds many challenges."
Puar nodded, absorbing the information. "So, it's a place with valuable resources but also a lot of risks."
"Exactly," Melvin confirmed "Now what we need to do is get ourselves some blaze rods which can only be acquired by beating the Blaze mobs, usually they are in Nether fortresses but they are not the only ones around"
Puar looked around the Nether, trying to spot any nearby fortresses. "Do you have any idea which way we should head?"
Melvin paused for a moment, considering their options. "Nether fortresses are usually spread out across the Nether, so we'll need to explore a bit. Look for any signs of a dark, castle-like structure with bridges and walkways. That's typically where you'll find Blaze mobs."
Puar nodded and began to cautiously traverse the Nether's unforgiving terrain. As he moved, he couldn't help but notice the floating, ghostly creatures with giant mouths, lurking in the distance.
"Geez, what are those things?"
Melvin noticed Puar's curiosity and concern about the floating creatures. "Those are Ghasts," he explained. "They are one of the hostile mobs native to the Nether. Ghasts are large, ghostly beings with tentacle-like appendages and giant mouths. They're known for their eerie crying sounds."
Just as Melvin finished his explanation, one of the Ghasts spotted Puar and let out a deafening wail. The creature's mouth opened wide, and it launched a massive fireball towards him.
Puar's instincts kicked in, and he quickly jumped up high in the air as the fire ball hit the floor and then he landed on his feet.
"Hey! What was that for? Is everything around me just trying to kill me?"
Melvin's voice came through with urgency, "Ghasts are hostile creatures that will attack on sight. We need to take it down before it causes more trouble."
Puar tried to attack it by using Lapillus, the projectile streaked through the Nether's fiery air, but upon impact against the creature, it seemed as though it hadn't done much damage. The Ghast let out another wail, undeterred by Puar's feeble attack, and it prepared to launch another fireball.
Melvin called out, "You're gonna need something stronger than that dude"
Puar dodges more incoming fire "Apparently" With swift hand motion, he chanted his next spell, "Magna Testa!" As he did, a brilliant burst of energy gathered in front of him, forming a large, shard-like projectile that crackled with magical energy.
Quickly then sending it hurtling towards the Ghast. The shard pierced through the Nether's fiery atmosphere like a shooting star, heading straight for the floating monstrosity. The Ghast let out a final, ear-piercing cry as the shard struck it dead center. There was a blinding explosion of fiery energy, and when the smoke cleared, the Ghast was nowhere to be seen.
Puar let out a triumphant cheer, "I knew training would pay off"
Melvin congratulated him, "Nice shot, Puar! That's one less threat to worry about. Just remember, the Nether is full of dangers like that, so stay on your guard."
Puar nodded, feeling a surge of confidence after his successful spell. He continued his journey through the Nether, keeping an eye out for any signs of a fortress. After what felt like hours of traversing the Nether terrain, Puar's determination began to waver. The fiery landscape seemed to stretch endlessly in all directions, and the eerie cries of the Ghasts continued to echo through the air. It felt like he was wandering through an otherworldly maze with no end in sight.
"Uuugh…where is it? I have walked around
But just when Puar was beginning to lose hope, a faint silhouette appeared on the horizon. It was a dark, imposing structure that seemed to materialize out of the fiery haze. The fortress!
Puar's pixelated eyes widened with excitement as he hurriedly made his way toward the fortress. The closer he got, the more details came into view. It was a massive, foreboding structure made of dark, cracked bricks, with towering walls and ominous spires that reached into the crimson sky of the Nether.
As he approached, Puar could see narrow bridges and walkways connecting different parts of the fortress, creating a complex network of paths. Lava flowed beneath some of the bridges.
Puar cautiously crossed one of the bridges, the air was filled with the acrid scent of burning Netherrack, and the distant cries of Blaze mobs echoed through the fortress. As Puar ventured deeper into the Nether fortress, he spotted a group of Blaze mobs in one of the fortress's chambers. They have a unique appearance characterized by their elongated, floating, and somewhat skeletal form, primarily orange with fiery particle effects emanating from their body. Puar noticed that he wasn't alone in this chamber,the Nether fortress was home to a variety of hostile creatures, and two more formidable foes emerged from the shadows.
First there were two skeletons whose bones were pitch black, their skulls glowing, empty eye sockets emitting a faint blue. Their body is slender and skeletal, with long, bony limbs, bony arms with bony fingers, their arms hang down at their sides when they are their hand was a stone sword, black and jagged.
The next one resembled a cube shaped magma with a vivid reddish-orange coloration, akin to a molten lava block with a somewhat yielding, gel-like texture. Featuring two diminutive, luminous red eyes adorning their frontal surface. It was emitting bubbling and sizzling sounds each time it moved.
"What are those things?"
Melvin's voice came through, providing information about the creatures that Puar had encountered in the Nether fortress.
"Those black skeletons you're facing are Wither Skeletons," Melvin explained. "They're a variant of the regular skeletons you encounter in the Overworld. Wither Skeletons are known for their dark appearance and have a chance to inflict the 'Wither' effect on you when they hit you. The Wither effect is a status ailment that gradually reduces your health over time, so be careful when fighting them."
Puar took note of this information, his focus shifting to the cube-shaped creature. "And what about that cube-like thing?"
"That's a Magma Cube," Melvin continued. "Magma Cubes are unique to the Nether. They come in different sizes, and when you defeat them, they drop Magma Cream, which is a useful crafting ingredient. Be cautious, though, as the larger Magma Cubes can split into smaller ones when defeated, so you may need to deal with multiple of them."
Puar nodded, his attention returning to the Blaze mobs. "And what about the Blaze mobs? What do they do?"
Melvin replied, "Blaze mobs are known for their fiery attacks. They can shoot fireballs at you from a distance, which can be quite dangerous. When they attack up close, they use a melee attack with their long, fiery limbs.
Puar hesitated for a moment as he sized up the formidable foes before him. The Wither Skeletons, with their dark, skeletal visage, and the Magma Cube, a molten menace, seemed like formidable adversaries. He wondered if there was a way to avoid direct combat, not only to spare himself from the risks but also to conserve his energy for the Blaze mobs ahead.
Then, a realization struck him. He had just the spell for this situation. With a swift motion and a confident incantation.
"Defodio!"
A surge of magical energy enveloped him, and with newfound power, he directed his spell towards the ground beneath the Wither Skeletons and Magma Cube. As the spell took effect, the ground crumbled and gave way beneath the creatures. They plummeted into a dark abyss below, their eerie cries fading as they descended. Puar had used his spell to create a passageway through the solid rock, effectively bypassing the confrontation.
Melvin just looks at this as if he can't believe it "That's cheating"
"Or is it genius? Work smarter not harder, they don't seem to have the intelligence to understand what i'm doing anyway"
The next scene cuts now into a montage of Puar hunting for Blaze rods, not giving them the time to attack, the first one he attacks without hesitation, chanting "Didymus Spiralis!" Firing a pair of magical projectiles that travel in a spiral trajectory,passing through it rather than explode upon contact. The bolts continue to inflict damage as they traverse through the target to the other side, until it dissipates, leaving a blaze rod.
In a larger chamber, three Blaze mobs materialize, their fiery forms flickering menacingly. Puar remains calm, invoking the spell, "Stellae Trio!" Three magical projectiles resembling shooting stars streak from his fingertips, relentlessly pursuing the closest Blaze mobs. One by one, the Blazes are engulfed by the fiery magic, and Blaze Rods scatter on the ground.
Moving deeper into the fortress, Puar encounters a group of Blaze mobs clustered together. This time, he employs a different strategy, casting "Arcus." An expanding arc of magic surges forward, spreading horizontally as it travels. It engulfs the group of Blazes, causing them to shriek and dissipate after casting it a few more times leaving behind Blaze Rods.
The montage continues as Puar deftly employs his spells to collect Blaze Rods from each encounter and if someone who is not a Blaze shows up he uses Defodio to make them fall into a pit.
As Puar collected the last Blaze Rod he needed, he paused to take a deep breath. The adrenaline from his battles still coursed through him, but he felt a sense of accomplishment. He had enough Blaze Rods to complete his mission, and it was time to head back to the Nether portal.
However, as he turned around to retrace his steps, a feeling of unease washed over him. The labyrinthine passages of the Nether fortress seemed to twist and turn in all directions, and the harsh, red terrain outside offered no familiar landmarks.
Puar's pixelated eyes darted around, his anxiety growing. "Wait, which way did I come from? Where's the portal?"
He started to walk in what he thought was the right direction, but the corridors of the fortress all looked eerily similar, and it wasn't long before he realized that he was lost.
Melvin's voice echoed in Puar's mind, offering reassurance, "Don't worry, Puar. Getting lost in the Nether is a common experience, even for experienced players. We just need to stay calm and methodically retrace our steps. Look for any distinctive features in the fortress that might help you remember where you've been.
"Great…Looks like I wasn't paying attention. I'm gonna have to first move out of this fortress before I can recall my steps"
Puat would have to use all his senses to find a way to return, his eyes, ears, whiskers and especially his nose. A cat's nose had around 45 to 80 million scent receptors in their nasal cavity, compared to humans who had 5 million.
Closing his eyes, he tried to recall the moment he had stepped through the swirling Nether portal. The shift in scent had been distinct from a sudden transition from the earthly, natural scents of the Overworld to the Nether, a mix of acrid, smoky, and charred notes, reminiscent of burning sulfur and brimstone. There could also be an underlying hint of something metallic, like the scent of hot iron or molten rock. But the whole place smelled like that so it would take some time.
*A few moments…much later…*

After what felt like an eternity of wandering through the twisting passages of the Nether fortress, Puar's persistence finally paid off. He rounded a corner and saw a faint, eerie glow in the distance. His pixelated eyes widened with hope as he recognized the telltale shimmer of the Nether portal.
Exhausted, sweaty, and with his supply of cooked salmon long gone, Puar hurried toward the portal. Every step felt like a struggle as fatigue weighed him down, but the sight of his way home motivated him to press on.
As he reached the portal, the swirling purple and black particles greeted him once more. The transition back to the Overworld was just as disorienting as when he first entered the Nether, but this time, Puar was prepared for it.
When the chaos subsided, Puar found himself back in the Overworld, standing before the Nether portal. He let out a sigh of relief, his whiskers twitching with weariness.
"I don't think I'd like to go back to that place anytime soon" He said fawning himself.
"Nonsense! You just gotta get used to it but you did well"
"Yeah? Well! I'm gonna drink some water, wash off and then sleep. I deserved after all that"
Melvin chuckled, understanding Puar's need for some well-deserved rest. "You absolutely deserve it, Puar. You faced the challenges of the Nether with determination and skill. Take your time to recuperate, and we can plan our next adventure together when you're ready."
Puar nodded, already daydreaming about a peaceful nap. With a final glance at the Nether portal, he took off one of the obsidian blocks turning off the portal and then turned back to his base.
*A Few Minecraft Days later*
The sun began to peek over the horizon, casting a warm, pixelated glow across the landscape. It was a new day, and Puar was already awake, sitting at the kitchen table in their cozy home. He had a plate of cooked Mutton in front of him, savoring the delicious aroma as he took the first bite. The tender meat filled his pixelated mouth, and he couldn't help but smile.
The previous adventure in the Nether felt like a distant memory now, replaced by the simple joys of a hearty breakfast that he relished.
"Good morning sleepyhead, looks like you already made this world your temporary home huh? Feeling relaxed and well fed?"
"I just had to hit a sheep a few times and it dropped it raw, I would not call this hunting but yeah. But I know you're not here to just wish me a good day, so spilly it, what shall we do now? Are we any closer to ending this?" Puar asked, knowing well how he functions.
"We are almost there Puar…we just need a few more items. But for that to happen we gotta hunt a few Enderman for that"
Melvin's voice resonated in Puar's ears as he began to explain the next step in their Minecraft journey. "You're right, Puar. We're getting closer to our ultimate goal, but there's one more crucial step we need to take, and that involves hunting Endermen."
"Endermen?" Puar raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Tell me more."
Melvin cleared his virtual throat and continued, "Endermen are tall, slender mobs that have a distinct appearance. They stand about three blocks tall and have long, spindly limbs. Their skin is dark purplish-black, and their most distinctive feature is their large, eerie, purple eyes."
Puar nodded, visualizing the description. "Okay, I think I can picture them. What makes Endermen special, though?"
"Well," Melvin explained, "Endermen have a unique set of abilities and behaviors that set them apart from other mobs in Minecraft. One of the most notable things about Endermen is their teleportation ability. They can teleport both randomly and when provoked, making them elusive and unpredictable."
Puar furrowed his pixelated brow, realizing the challenge ahead. "So, they can just disappear and reappear at will?"
"Exactly," Melvin confirmed. "That makes them a bit tricky to deal with. Additionally, Endermen are known for being sensitive to eye contact. If you look directly into their eyes, they become aggressive and will attack you."
Puar nodded, taking mental notes. "So, I need to avoid eye contact. Anything else I should know?"
"Indeed," Melvin continued. "When you defeat an Enderman, they have a chance to drop an Ender Pearl, which is a valuable item. We'll need these Ender Pearls to eventually access the End dimension and confront the Ender Dragon."
Puar absorbed the information, understanding the significance of their mission. "Got it. So, where can we find Endermen?"
Melvin's voice took on a thoughtful tone as he explained, "Endermen typically spawn in the Overworld at night and in darker areas like caves. They are more common in desert biomes and plains, but you can also encounter them in forests and other biomes. They tend to be solitary, so you won't usually find them in large groups."
As night fell over the pixelated world of Minecraft, Puar prepared himself for the hunt. Stepping outside of his cozy home, he glanced up at the moon, its pixelated glow casting long shadows across the landscape. The night was clear, and the stars twinkled overhead. It was the perfect setting for his Enderman hunt.
Puar ventured into the nearby desert biome and try his luck there. He could feel the sand beneath his paws and the cool desert breeze ruffling his pixelated fur. He knew he needed to be cautious, as the desert held its own set of dangers, from hostile mobs to treacherous terrain.
Scanning the horizon for any signs of movement, the desert was quiet, with only the sound of the wind whispering through the sand dunes. Hours passed, and Puar had yet to encounter an Enderman. Until he finally then saw one, it was a lone Enderman wandering through the desert, maybe looking for some blocks to pick? He remembered Melvin's advice to avoid direct eye contact, so he made sure to keep his gaze fixed on the Enderman's spindly legs and not its piercing purple eyes.
Slowly, Puar approached the Enderman, being careful not to startle it. His heart pounded in his pixelated chest as he drew closer, his every step deliberate and silent. The Enderman seemed oblivious to his presence.
With a deep breath, Puar summoned his courage and raised his pixelated arm, aiming his weapon. "Here goes nothing."
He didn't know exactly how tough Enderman where or how strong, and while he was a careful mage, wanting to keep his energy in store even after replenishing it. Maybe using a more powerful spell to test things out would be worth the trouble.
'Cometa Testa' He said his mind.
There was no actual need to scream the name of the move but he thought it was cool, so after charging it up he let it go wild. A surge of magical energy coalesced in front of him, forming a radiant miniature comet. The shimmering shard crackled with potent power, its core glowing brilliantly with a bluish light Puar aimed the spell with precision, targeting the lone Enderman wandering through the desert.
When turning its spindly form toward Puar, sensing the presence of the incoming magical projectile. Its purple eyes widened in surprise, but it was too late to evade the incoming attack. The projectile streaked through the night sky, leaving a trail of shimmering stardust in its wake, striking the Enderman with a resounding impact before it could even think about teleporting, causing the mob to emit a distorted, eerie cry as it writhed in pain as the outer dust of the spell caused collateral damage for good measure.
To make sure he didn't lose his advantage, Puar shot a few Lapillus spells while the Enderman's health rapidly diminished, and moments later, it dissipated into a flurry of dark as he approached the spot where the Enderman had stood. Among the scattered pixels, he found an Ender Pearl, shimmering with an otherworldly glow. He carefully picked it up and examined it, knowing that this valuable item would bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal.
"I did it!" Puar exclaimed with a triumphant grin. "One down, and a few more to go."
Melvin's voice echoed in his mind, offering encouragement. "Well done, Puar! Keep your focus, and let's continue hunting for Ender Pearls."
As Puar continued his search for Endermen in the vast desert biome, he spotted another lone Enderman in the distance. This time, he decided to approach cautiously, just as he had before. The desert's sands shifted beneath his paws as he drew nearer, and the Enderman seemed to remain focused on its own business, not yet noticing his presence.
With a deep breath, Puar prepared to launch his attack. He aimed his trusty Lapillus spell, ready to strike the Enderman. However, just as he was about to release the spell, he noticed something peculiar out of the corner of his pixelated eye.
From the shadows of the desert, more Endermen began to emerge, their tall, slender forms materializing one by one. They appeared as if out of thin air, their eerie purple eyes fixed on Puar. It was as though they had been drawn to the disturbance caused by the first Enderman.
Puar's whiskers twitched with surprise and a touch of unease as he realized he was no longer facing just one Enderman, but a gathering of them. The desert was now filled with these otherworldly beings, their presence felt overwhelming.
"Uh-oh," Puar muttered to himself, his confidence wavering for a moment. "This just got a lot more complicated."
As Puar stood in the midst of the gathering Endermen, their eerie purple eyes fixated on him, he knew that he needed to stay calm and collected. Melvin's guidance echoed in his mind, reminding him of the importance of not making direct eye contact with the Endermen. They were sensitive to gaze, and any misstep could trigger their aggression.
With a deep breath, Puar averted his gaze from their eyes, focusing instead on their spindly legs and the desert landscape around them. He made sure to keep his movements deliberate and non-threatening, slowly backing away from the group of Endermen.
However, the Endermen seemed to sense his presence and began to inch closer, their tall forms towering over him.
'Well…so much for being covert' With a flick of his paw, Puar unleashed his first spell, "Stella Imbrem!"
Six magical projectiles resembling shooting stars streaked forward, each one relentlessly pursuing a different Enderman. The projectiles zigzagged through the night sky, leaving a trail of shimmering stardust in their wake. The Endermen, caught off guard by the sudden barrage, tried to teleport to evade the incoming attack, but the shooting stars were relentless. The projectiles struck their targets with resounding impacts, causing the Endermen to emit distorted, eerie cries as they writhed in pain.
Puar's tactic had paid off, and several Endermen had been incapacitated. But the battle was far from over. The remaining Endermen, their eyes filled with rage, began to teleport closer to Puar.
Seeing the Endermen closing in, Puar decided to use his defensive spell, "Fumos!"
He waved his paw, creating a defensive cloud of smoke that enveloped the area. Visibility plummeted as the thick smoke swirled around, disorienting the Endermen. They let out frustrated cries, unable to see their target clearly.
Puar used the cover of the smoke to reposition himself, stepping lightly on the desert sands. He knew he had to be cautious, for the Endermen could still sense his presence. The cloud of smoke hindered their accuracy, buying Puar precious moments.
As the smoke began to dissipate, Puar focused his magic once more, this time using "Everte Statum." He targeted the closest Enderman and propelled it forcefully backward. The Enderman was sent several feet away, its teleportation attempts thwarted by the spell's potency. It let out a pained cry as it crashed into the sandy dunes.
But the remaining Endermen were closing in, and Puar knew he had to act quickly. He used "Locomotor Mortis" to bond the legs of another Enderman together, impeding its movement. The Enderman struggled to free its legs, but it was temporarily immobilized.
Puar's heart pounded in his pixelated chest as he faced the relentless group of Endermen. The battle raged on under the moonlit desert sky, a clash of magic and otherworldly powers. With each spell he cast, Puar gained an upper hand, but the Endermen were not to be underestimated.
Feeling frustrated at their lack to hit their enemy, one of the endermans whose legs were still stuck started teleporting around sporadically and managed to get close to Puar, his long, spindly fingers closed around Puar's pixelated neck, a surge of panic welled up within him. He struggled to break free, but the Enderman's grip was firm. Its eerie, purple eyes bore into Puar's, and he could feel the hostile intent emanating from the creature.
"Y-You have anger issues"
Puar's quick thinking allowed him to transform into a snake, his body shifting and contorting into the form of a slithering reptile. With a swift, venomous strike, he sank his fangs into the Enderman's arm. The Enderman let out a distorted cry of pain, releasing its grip on Puar.
Taking the chance given to him, the mage cat quickly went back to his humanoid form and performed one final spell to get rid of the remaining enderman, making sure to charge it up a notch.
"Gravibus Tormenti!"
With a flick of his pixelated paw, he launched the explosive projectile high into the night sky. The Endermen, momentarily distracted by the sudden burst of magic, turned their attention toward the shimmering projectile as it arched gracefully through the air and then began its descent back to the ground. Just as the projectile struck the desert sands, it exploded with a deafening roar and a brilliant burst of light. The explosion was powerful enough to create a massive crater in the desert.
The Endermen were overwhelmed by the explosion, their forms disintegrating into dark pixels as they were defeated. The night sky was once again calm, and the desert sands settled in the aftermath of the powerful spell.
Puar stood panting, his heart racing as he looked around at the scattered pixels that were once Endermen. The battle had been intense, and he had faced a formidable challenge, but he had emerged victorious.
"Well, that was... something," Puar muttered to himself, catching his breath. He knew that he had successfully defeated the Endermen, but he also realized that the desert was now a massive crater, evidence of the powerful magic he had unleashed.
Melvin's voice echoed in Puar's mind, filled with admiration. "You did it, Puar! You faced the Endermen head-on and came out on top. Your skill and quick thinking saved the day."
Puar nodded, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he had collected valuable Ender Pearls from the defeated Endermen, and he carefully stored them in his inventory.
"Now, we have the Ender Pearls we need"
"It's time to prepare for the next phase of our journey"
*One Trip back to the Base Later…*
"Ok Puar, we got the Ender Pearls and Blaze Rods, it's time to craft some more, are you ready?" Melvin asked
"Yeah sure" Puar said nonchalantly.
"Well right now we need to make Blaze Powder, it's a very straightforward process, just place the Blaze Rods in the crafting table. When you do that, you'll get Blaze Powder as a result"
Puar followed Melvin's instructions, placing the Blaze Rods in the crafting table and obtaining the Blaze Powder. He examined it, noting its vibrant orange color.
"Now that you have Blaze Powder, it's time to combine it with the Ender Pearls to create Ender Eyes," Melvin continued. "To do this, open your crafting table and place the Blaze Powder and Ender Pearls in the crafting grid. Each combination will yield one Ender Eye."
Puar nodded and proceeded to craft the Ender Eyes. He carefully combined the Blaze Powder and Ender Pearls in the crafting table, watching as they transformed into Ender Eyes. It was a meticulous process, but soon enough, he had a stack of Eye of Ender ready for their journey.
Melvin explained, "The Eye of Ender is a magical item that can help us locate the stronghold. When activated it will float into the air and point in the direction of the nearest stronghold. It's like a compass leading us to our destination."
Puar nodded in understanding, his pixelated eyes focused on the Eye of Ender in his hand. "Got it. So, I just need to use the Eye of Ender, and it will guide us to the stronghold."
"That's correct," Melvin confirmed. "But be prepared, Puar. Strongholds are often buried deep underground, so you'll need to dig and explore to find the entrance."
"Sounds like just another cave exploration if you ask me"
Once outside Puar threw the Eye of Ender as it soared upward as it hovered for a moment. Then, it started moving in a specific direction, pulling Puar along with it.
He followed the Eye of Ender as it floated above the ground, its trajectory leading him across the landscape.
Melvin continued to provide guidance, "Keep following the Eye of Ender, Puar. It will lead you to the stronghold, it won't be floating like that forever, sometimes it will fall so you need to grab it and do it again"
"Ok then"
Hours passed as Puar trekked across mountains, forests, and rivers, always keeping a keen eye on the Eye of Ender as it guided him. He encountered various biomes and faced the occasional hostile mob, but he pressed on, driven by his determination to reach the stronghold.
Finally, after a long and arduous journey, the Eye of Ender led Puar to their destination: the entrance to the stronghold. The landscape had gradually changed as they approached, and the surroundings took on a mysterious and ancient aura.
The entrance to the stronghold was hidden beneath the dense canopy of a dark forest, surrounded by towering oak trees. The forest seemed to hush in reverence as Puar approached, sensing the significance of the place. He could feel a sense of foreboding and excitement in equal measure. The stronghold's entrance was marked by a stone archway, weathered and covered in ivy. Stone bricks lined the path leading deeper into the underground complex. Torchlight flickered within, hinting at the secrets that lay hidden below.
Puar stepped cautiously through the stone archway, his pixelated footsteps echoing in the dimly lit corridor. The air was cool and damp, and the sound of dripping water echoed from the unseen depths. The walls of the stronghold were made of mossy stone bricks, their surfaces worn with age.
As Puar ventured deeper into the stronghold, he could see that the corridor branched out into several directions. The layout of the stronghold was intricate and maze-like, a testament to the ancient civilization that had once inhabited this place.
Melvin's voice whispered in Puar's mind, "We're in, Puar. Now, we need to explore the stronghold, find the End Portal room, and activate it with the Eyes of Ender. Our journey is about to reach its climax."
"Oh yeah! Hopefully nothing bad will happen"
Puar proceeded deeper into the stronghold, carefully navigating the maze-like corridors and keeping an eye on the Eye of Ender's guidance. As he ventured further, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie. The damp stone walls seemed to close in around him, and the faint echoes of his footsteps were his only company.
Occasionally, he encountered hostile mobs lurking in the shadows. With a swipe of his paw and the incantation of spells, he dispatched the threats efficiently. The echoes of his magical battles reverberated through the stronghold's cold, stone halls.
As he pressed on, Puar's pixelated heart raced with anticipation. The Eye of Ender continued to lead him deeper into the stronghold, occasionally falling to the ground, signaling that he needed to retrieve it and use it again. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of exploration, Puar found himself standing before a heavy iron door.
"This must be it," Puar whispered to himself.
With a satisfying click, the door began to grind open slowly, revealing a hidden chamber beyond. The chamber was dimly lit, with an aura of ancient mystique. In the center of the room stood the End Portal, a circular frame made of ornate End Portal Frames.
Puar approached the portal, his excitement growing. He had come so far, overcome countless challenges, and now he stood before the gateway to the End dimension. With a sense of determination, he placed the remaining Eyes of Ender into the empty frames, one by one.
As each Eye settled into its place, the portal began to shimmer and come to life. A low, resonant hum filled the chamber, and the air seemed to crackle with energy. The Eye of Ender in front of the portal spun faster and faster, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of light and magic as the portal activated, its swirling vortex beckoning him forward.
"It looks like the dark starry sky," He said.
Melvin's voice echoed in Puar's mind, filled with pride and anticipation. "You've done it, Puar. You've activated the End Portal. Now, step through and embrace your destiny. The End dimension awaits."
"Dramatic much?" Puar chuckles.
"Just get in before the silverfish spawn you fool"
Puar took a deep breath, his pixelated form bathed in the ethereal glow of the activated End Portal. With a final glance back at the stronghold's chamber, he stepped forward and crossed the threshold of the portal.
The sensation of transition was disorienting. Colors and shapes blurred and shifted around him as if he were passing through a cosmic whirlwind. The world as he knew it seemed to warp and twist, and for a moment, he felt weightless and adrift in a surreal dreamscape.
And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the tumultuous journey came to an end. Puar found himself standing on a desolate, otherworldly landscape.
Looking around the dimension or at least the stuff he could see around, it seemed to be a massive, floating island surrounded by smaller islands, all composed of endstone There was nothing but the void beyond the outer islands, stretching endlessly into the distance.
The sky in the End was starless and static, casting a constant dim light over the desolate terrain. There was no sign of a sun or moon. Puar felt a sense of isolation and unease as he took in his surroundings. The obsidian platform he stood on was only 5x5 in size, with three layers of air blocks above it.
*The End-(Realm)*
Melvin's voice echoed in his mind, offering guidance and encouragement. "You're at the End now, Puar. Your journey has led you to this moment. The path to the Ender Dragon lies ahead."
Melvin's voice responded, "The End dimension is a mysterious and desolate place, Puar. It's the home of the Ender Dragon, a powerful and ancient creature. The landscape you see is composed of endstone and obsidian, with floating islands suspended in the void. It's a stark and barren world, quite different from the Overworld or the Nether."
Puar couldn't help but shiver as he gazed at the eerie, starless sky and the void that seemed to stretch endlessly beyond the islands. The emptiness of the End weighed on him.
"It's a place of challenges and danger," Melvin continued. "But it's also where we'll find the Ender Dragon, our ultimate goal. We need to be cautious and prepared as we explore this dimension."
Looking around the obsidian platform where he had arrived, Puar realized that there was no clear path leading to the mainland. The islands in the distance seemed like distant specks, floating in the void. He needed a way to bridge the gap and reach one of those islands.
"Melvin," Puar began, "how do we get to the mainland? It looks like quite a jump from here."
Melvin's voice offered guidance, "To reach the mainland, Puar, you'll need to build a bridge using blocks. Do you have any building materials with you?"
Puar quickly checked his inventory and found that he had brought along a stack of cobblestone blocks. "I've got some cobblestone. Will that work?"
"That should do the trick," Melvin replied. "Start by placing a block at the edge of this platform, and then continue placing blocks in the direction of the nearest island. Be cautious while building, as the void below is unforgiving."
Puar nodded and approached the edge of the obsidian platform. With a careful placement, he set the first cobblestone block down, extending it towards the nearest floating island. He repeated the process, creating a narrow bridge that stretched out into the void.
As he built the bridge, Puar couldn't shake the feeling of unease. The empty void below was a constant reminder of the perilous nature of the End dimension. He moved slowly and deliberately, making sure each block was firmly in place.
Minutes turned into hours as Puar continued to build the bridge, steadily approaching the nearest island. The cobblestone pathway seemed to stretch endlessly, and the distant island remained just out of reach but eventually his bridge reached the nearest island. He stepped onto solid ground, feeling a sense of relief and accomplishment. The main land of the End stretched out before him, with more floating islands in the distance and a sense of mystery in the air.
As Puar stood on the newly reached island in the End, catching his breath after the arduous task of building the bridge, Melvin's voice came through in his mind, about to convey something important. "Puar, there's something crucial I need to—"
Before Melvin could finish his sentence, a sudden change in the air caught their attention. Puar's pixelated fur stood on end as he felt a powerful presence approaching. A deep, echoing roar filled the End, shaking the very ground beneath him. A colossal, black-scaled creature soared into view. It was the one and only Ender Dragon, a massive and fearsome beast. Its wings beat with thunderous force, and it's purple eyes glowed with malevolent intent.
Puar's heart pounded as he stared at the Ender Dragon, realizing that the moment of their confrontation had arrived. The dragon circled above, surveying its domain with an air of dominance "Oh boy, it really is a dragon…"
As Puar prepared to face the looming Ender Dragon, he couldn't help but notice that Endermen were beginning to materialize on the floating islands around him. Their tall, slender forms emerged from the shadows, their eerie purple eyes fixated on him.
Puar couldn't contain his confusion and frustration. "Why are there so many Endermen here? What's going on, Melvin?"
Melvin's voice echoed in Puar's mind, conveying a sense of urgency. "Puar, this is what I was trying to tell you. The End is the natural habitat of the Endermen. It's their home turf. As we confront the Ender Dragon, the Endermen will be drawn to the battle, and they'll be relentless in their attempts to thwart us."
Puar's pixelated eyes widened with realization. "Wait what?!"
"The Endermen consider the End their domain, and they won't take kindly to our presence. They'll try to disrupt our focus, steal blocks from the environment, and even attack us. We'll need to be on guard and handle them while dealing with the Ender Dragon."
As if on cue, an Enderman on a nearby island let out a distorted, eerie cry and teleported closer to Puar, its hostile intent clear. It raised its long, spindly arms menacingly.
Puar took a step back, readying himself for a battle on multiple fronts "You know what?" Starts floating in the air "Not dealing with this, forget about saving my energy, I have a true battle to face"
Melvin's voice sounded both surprised and intrigued as he asked, "Puar, what are you planning?"
"The enderman can teleport but they can't fly but the Dragon can, i'm just making use of my abilities and focusing on the Ender Dragon"
With a renewed sense of purpose, Puar hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on the circling Ender Dragon. He knew that this would be a formidable and challenging confrontation, but he was determined to see it through to the end.
"Let's test that speed of yours" Puar, now floating in the air, channeled his magical energy into a spell "Celeri Testa."
This spell emphasized speed over power, enabling him to unleash magic projectiles with exceptional velocity but with little damage. The projectiles streaked through the air with incredible speed, leaving a trail of light and magic in their wake. They homed in on the dragon, forcing it to move swiftly to evade the incoming attacks.
The Ender Dragon, as massive and formidable as it was, proved to be surprisingly agile. It twisted and turned in the air, flapping its wings with precision to dodge the magical onslaught.
"Darn, it actually has some decent speed"
Having deftly dodged Puar's magical projectiles, let out a thunderous roar that sent shockwaves through the End dimension. With a powerful beat of its wings, it soared downward, its massive form descending towards Puar. His pixelated heart raced as he watched the dragon's approach. He knew that he had to stay nimble and evasive to avoid the impending attack.
But panic took over so he ended up betting on being reckless.
"Magnus Malleus!"
In an instant, a massive, magical hammer materialized above him that pulsated with power.
As the Ender Dragon descended upon Puar with a triumphant roar, it didn't anticipate the sudden appearance of the gigantic hammer. With a deafening impact, the ethereal hammer slammed into the dragon's face, causing it to let out an agonized, echoing cry.
The force of the blow was tremendous, sending the Ender Dragon spiralling backward through the air. It thrashed and roared in pain, its massive form temporarily disoriented by the unexpected attack.
Puar didn't waste a moment. He seized the opportunity and unleashed another spell "Cometa Contritione Pervalida"
That spell was an advanced and powerful version of Cometa Testa, it was capable of piercing through multiple enemies at once and it was a real threat when charged up. It struck the dragon with relentless force, causing it to let out anguished cries as it struggled to endure the magical onslaught.
Puar watched with astonishment as the dragon's health steadily dwindled under the relentless assault of his magic. The Ender Dragon, once a formidable and imposing foe, now showed signs of vulnerability, thinking that his gamble worked in his favor…until to his shock and disbelief, he watched as the dragon's wounds began to mend before his eyes.
The dragon's injuries seemed to be healing at an alarming rate, and its roars of pain were replaced with an eerie, triumphant hiss. Puar's heart sank as he realized that the Ender Dragon possessed a regenerative ability that was undoing the damage he had inflicted.
Melvin's voice echoed in his mind, filled with urgency. "Puar, the Ender Dragon has the power to regenerate its health! We need to find and destroy the Ender Crystals that are healing it. They're located on the obsidian pillars around the End."
Puar's gaze shifted to the obsidian pillars scattered throughout the End dimension. He could see the Ender Crystals atop them, glowing with a vibrant energy that pulsed with life. They were the source of the dragon's regeneration.
"Would have been really useful to know that before I wasted that much power!"
The dragon's rage grew apparent. With a deafening roar, it opened its gaping maw and unleashed a devastating breath attack. A swirling vortex of purple energy shot forth from its mouth, hurtling with deadly intent.
Puar's eyes widened in alarm as the corrosive attack bore down on him. In a split second, he summoned his magical abilities to defend himself "Protego!"
A shimmering, transparent dome of magical energy formed around Puar, just in the nick of time. The Ender Dragon's breath attack collided with the shield, causing a violent explosion of energy. The dome quivered and crackled under the immense pressure of the dragon's assault, but it held firm for a few precious moments.
Inside the protective barrier, Puar could feel the force of the dragon's breath attack pushing against him, threatening to break through. He struggled to maintain his focus and keep the shield intact, his magical energy straining under the relentless assault.
However, the dragon's breath attack proved to be too overwhelming. The Protego spell could only hold for so long against such a formidable force. With a final, explosive burst of energy, the protective dome shattered. Puar was sent tumbling backward through the air, his fur bristling with residual energy. He desperately tried to stabilize himself in the chaotic aftermath of the clash.
As he regained his composure and hovered in the air, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. The Ender Dragon's regenerative ability and devastating breath attack made it a formidable adversary. He needed to act quickly to locate and destroy the Ender Crystals that were responsible for the dragon's health regeneration.
"I'm gonna have to keep him out of commission for a little while then so I can have enough time to destroy the crystals"
"What do you have in mind?" Melvin asked.
"Pluvia Conditorium Stellarum"
That spell summoned a dark, magical cloud above the Ender Dragon, it crackled with energy, resembling a swirling vortex of stars. With a sudden release of magical energy, the cloud began to rain down torrents of shimmering, star-like projectiles upon the Ender Dragon. Each magical "star" struck the dragon with incredible force, causing it to roar in pain and frustration. The impact of the falling stars created dazzling explosions of light and magic as they struck their target.
The Ender Dragon, overwhelmed by the torrential downpour of magical stars, was forced to the ground, its wings unable to keep it aloft. It thrashed and writhed under the relentless assault, its form obscured by the brilliant bursts of light.
Puar seized the opportunity provided by the distraction and turned his attention to the obsidian pillars that held the Ender Crystals. With determined focus, he aimed his magical attacks at the nearest pillar, using his newfound aerial advantage to his advantage.
Puar started to sweat "I gotta make it count, I cant keep this forever"
Taking in some air into his body, Puar looked around, staring at all the Crystals that were in all the obsidian pillars, there was ten in total, being protected by iron cages, closing his eyes for a moment, almost like mapping the location in ih s mind and considering those things his enemies rather then the Ender Dragon.
"Stellae Ruina!"
It was a spell that unleashed twelve dark yet shining magical projectiles resembling falling stars that relentlessly pursued their designated foes.
In this critical moment, Puar knew that precision and timing were crucial. With a wave of his pixelated paw, he released ten of the dark magical projectiles, each one targeting a different Ender Crystal atop the obsidian pillars. The projectiles streaked through the air with remarkable speed, homing in on their targets with unerring accuracy. The impact caused the iron cages surrounding the Ender Crystals to shatter, freeing the crystals from their protective enclosures. With brilliant bursts of energy, the Ender Crystals were obliterated, disintegrating into fragments of magical energy.
Puar watched with a sense of satisfaction as the obsidian pillars crumbled, their once-glowing crystals reduced to nothingness as the dragon's regenerative ability had been severed, the ender dragon, having narrowly avoided the majority of the dark magical projectiles from before let out a final, anguished cry as it realized the source of its regeneration had been eliminated.
"Puar!" Melvin called out mentally, "it's now or never. The Ender Dragon is vulnerable now that its source of regeneration is gone. We need to give it everything we've got."
He nodded, his pixelated eyes locked onto the dragon, which was still reeling from the destruction of the Ender Crystals. He knew that this was their chance to defeat the formidable creature once and for all.
Standing back on the ground he casted a spell before the Enderman could annoy him "Terra Magica!"
That was a spell that created a spherical zone centered on a sigil, augmenting the magical strength of those within its vicinity by 35% for 30 seconds, as long as they remain inside the sigil.
With newfound resolve, Puar conjured all his magical energy and channeled it into his most powerful offense spell "Comet Azur."
The spell summoned an immensely powerful magical projectile resembling a comet surrounded by a starry torrent. The comet blazed with otherworldly energy as it hurtled through the air, straight toward the Ender Dragon. The dragon, still disoriented from the recent attacks, had little time to react. With a deafening impact, the comet struck the dragon's massive form, causing a cataclysmic explosion of light and magic. The force of the explosion sent shockwaves through the End dimension, and the dragon let out one final, anguished roar as it was engulfed by the brilliant burst of energy.
As the dust and magical residue settled, Puar watched in awe and relief as the Ender Dragon's form disintegrated into purple pixels, dissipating into the void. The battle was over. They had emerged victorious.
Puar fell to his knees panting and exhausted, his pixelated fur ruffled and singed from the intense battle. He had faced the ultimate challenge and triumphed against the Ender Dragon. The End dimension, once a desolate and foreboding place, now felt strangely serene in the aftermath of the battle as the enderman disperse, no longer having a leader.
Melvin's voice conveyed admiration and pride. "You did it, Puar! You defeated the Ender Dragon"
Melvin's voice interrupted Puar's thoughts, "Now that the Ender Dragon is no more, the exit portal should have appeared nearby. Let's find it and head back."
Puar nodded, still catching his breath from the intense battle. He stood up and scanned the area, looking for any sign of the exit portal. After a few moments, he spotted a shimmering, obsidian gateway in the distance.
"I see it, Melvin," Puar replied, his voice filled with a mix of relief and satisfaction. "Let's go home."
Together, Puar made his way towards the exit portal, leaving behind the shattered obsidian pillars and the remnants of the defeated Ender Dragon. As he stepped through the exit portal, they were greeted by the familiar sight of not the minecraft world but his own world. The transition from the desolate and eerie End dimension to their home world was a welcome relief, and his body was no longer pixelated.
*The Real World*
He looks at his paws, before clenching it, to see if it was real "I'm back…whoa, that was a weird ride"
"Well done, Puar!"
Startled, he turned around to see none other than Melvin standing there, his avatar now taking on a more solid, lifelike appearance.
"You faced the Ender Dragon with incredible courage and skill," Melvin continued, "And your strategic use of magic was nothing short of impressive. You've grown stronger, smarter, and braver through this adventure, and I'm truly amazed by your progress."
Puar grinned, a sense of accomplishment swelling within him. "Thanks, Melvin. I couldn't have done it without your guidance and support. This journey has been quite the experience."
Melvin nodded, his expression serious but warm. "And now, as a reward for your bravery and success, I have something special for you."
With a wave of his hand, Melvin conjured a shimmering scroll, filled with intricate runes and symbols. He handed it to Puar, who took it with a mix of curiosity and excitement.
"What's this?" Puar asked.
Melvin explained, "This scroll contains the knowledge of 19 new spells, each more interesting and versatile than the last. They are a gift to you, Puar, to further enhance your magical abilities. With these spells, you'll be even more formidable and capable in your adventures."
Puar accepted the scroll with gratitude, his excitement building as he considered the possibilities of these new spells. He unrolled the scroll and began to study the intricate runes and symbols inscribed on it. As he did so, the information seemed to flow into his mind, as if the knowledge was being transferred directly into his consciousness.
"Wow… Puar said, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Thank you, Melvin. I can't wait to try them out and continue my adventures."
Melvin smiled, pleased with Puar's reaction. "You've earned them, Puar. I have no doubt that you'll put these spells to great use.
A/N:Greetings, everyone! There are a few things I'd like to share. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I'm not an expert when it comes to Minecraft. I do, however, possess enough knowledge and enthusiasm to be considered a fan.
Recently, I devised a challenge set in the world of Minecraft. Despite Puar having the advantage of magic and receiving tips from Melvin, the challenge got a significant length that i had to separate into two parts, so imagine how big it would be if i made him go through it like normal players bigger then any chapter i made, do you guys prefer big chapters or small chapters?
This challenge centered around Puar's mission to defeat the formidable Ender Dragon. It also provided an opportunity to showcase Puar's offensive spells and inject more excitement and intrigue into the whole thing. If I made any errors in the challenge or its execution, please feel free to correct me. I chose to stick with the vanilla version of Minecraft for simplicity, as the game has seen numerous updates and additions over time.
I sincerely hope you all found this challenge enjoyable and had a fantastic time participating in it. Also the offense focused spells used here are from Elden Ring, Glitnstone based but with new latin names because i think its cooler.
