down onto the dragon’s neck. The blade sliced through with one swift stroke and the beast’s screams were cut short as its body lay still in death.
Steve’s sword fell from his hands, exhaustion took him and the world around him faded to blackness.
Forgotten Legend
“Steve?” The familiar voice filled the darkness like a soothing breeze on a hot day. “Steve wake up.”
Slowly the hero began to open his eyes. Steve was lying in bed in his home and Scoundrel was lying at the foot of his bed smiling at him happily. Stephanie and Carl were standing on either side of him, both looking down at him worriedly.
“What…what happened?” Steve asked as his stomach growled.
“We don’t know,” Carl said, “Everything suddenly went dark, we didn’t know where we were and it felt like we were gone forever. But suddenly we saw you kill this massive dragon. When you did the world all went back the way it was and we found you near the village. We thought you were dead mate.”
Stephanie wiped a tear away. “You were so brave. We brought you and Scoundrel back here and fed you soup while you rested. You’ve been out of it for four days.”
Steve could only smile at his friends. “Thank you both. I didn’t think I was going to make it through this without you. But it isn’t over yet.”
Both Stephanie and Carl looked at one another in surprise.
“What are you talking about?” Carl asked.
“There is one threat still out there, a demon who seeks to destroy me and the peace of Overworld.” Steve sat up in bed and balled his hand into a fist as he saw the man in his mind.
“Herobrine must die.”
Book 3: Legend Of Swords Battle
Dark Break
Time slowed as the sword descended towards the neck of the mighty Ender Dragon. With his last remaining dredges of strength Steve pulled the heavy sword down with a heroic war cry that would chill the darkest of enemies to their core. The blade cut through the scaled flesh of the dragon with ease and rent the beast’s head from his body with one stroke.
The Ender Dragon’s body jerked in the last spasms of death before becoming utterly still, silent and powerless. Steve had done it; against all odds he had survived to find the End, challenge the all-powerful dragon and slew it in its own domain. But the victory was not without cost or sacrifice.
Drained of all energy, starved to the brink of death and bloody from his battle, the adventurer felt the darkness take him. Falling backwards, sword clattering to the ground, Steve landed hard on the ground beneath him with a blossom of dirt rising around him. The End was silent, even the Endermen had ceased their endless wandering about.
From the darkness behind one of the mighty obsidian pillars a man watched this all take place. The unblinking white eyes of Herobrine took in the scene before him, unbelieving. Had the mighty dragon truly fallen? Was Steve now dead himself?
Herobrine would not wait to find out. He rushed out from his hiding place and ran as fast as his legs would carry him towards the body of Steve. He would cut the adventurer’s head from his body just to make sure he was finished. Before Herobrine could reach him however, a dark portal opened up beneath Steve, slowly swallowing him whole. The body sank lower into the portal until he was completely vanished. Once Steve was gone the portal disappeared leaving Herobrine completely alone in the End.
A scream of rage ripped itself from the throat of Herobrine as once again he was unable to finish Steve for good. He looked around, hoping to find another of the dark portals but there was nothing. His eyes fell upon the fallen body of the Ender Dragon.
“Look at you, even a legendary beast locked away for eternity cannot withstand the might of this man. What is it that drives him? What is it that compels him to fight until there is nothing left
