and still come out the victor?!”
The Saga Sword
Herobrine kicked the corpse before him in anger.
The body exploded with a force strong enough to throw Herobrine back several blocks. He landed on the ground and rolled a few more blocks before he looked up to see what had happened.
Purple and black smoke rose from the ground where the dragon had been. Heat washed over the area but there was something else Herobrine could just make out. There, beyond the heavy cloud of smoke was a chest. Standing, the white eyed man rushed through the curtain of smoke and found not a chest, but a large magnificent coffin; its exterior covered in scales just as the dragon had been. Was this the unclaimed reward for killing the dragon? Curious and desperate for another answer Herobrine lifted the lid and looked inside.
Inside of the coffin, resting atop a crimson pillow of silk and down was a sword. Its hilt was a deep purple, the pommel a roaring dragon’s head, the cross guard was dragon wings. The blade itself was a deep gold color but the metal was no such thing. Herobrine could hear it whispering, as if thousands of voices lifted from the blade, begging him to take it.
Reaching out slowly Herobrine lifted the sword from its resting place and immediately he smiled with an evil malice. He could feel the weapon hum with absolute power. He felt that power begin to spread through his own body as he gripped the sword firmly.
Checking his inventory, Herobrine found that the blade was called “Bane of Existence” Below the name he read a short description of the weapon.
“The Bane of Existence is a blade containing the souls of every living creature devoured by the Ender Dragon. This weapon uses the power from its fallen victims to grow even stronger. Woe to any who wield it, for only darkness will follow in their wake.”
The sound of stone grinding against stone filled the void of the End behind Herobrine. A dark portal leading back to Overworld has arisen from the ground.
Herborine looked to his new found weapon and back to the portal with a wicked grin.
“Ready yourself Steve…the end draws nigh unto you.”
Dream Evil
Stephanie reached out to take the hand of Steve as they walked through the town together. After the attack from the Ender Dragon a few days before things had gone back to normal for the most part. The people of the town rebuilt, salvaged what they could and started life anew. Everyone seemed to have moved on well enough, everyone but Steve. Stephanie was worried about him more than she could say.
Feeling his best friend in the world place her hand in his caused Steve to look over at her with a smile.
“I’m sorry sweetheart…I keep zoning out don’t I?”
Stephanie smiled back at him but the worry was evident in her beautiful blue eyes. “You went through some pretty traumatizing stuff Steve…you saved us all and made it through yourself. You just seem to still be…somewhere else.” She pulled herself to him and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked. “I’m just worried is all.”
Scoundrel, Steve’s trusty wolf companion, was on his other side. The three of them walked past open shops and vendors selling everything from seeds to weapons.
“I know. I just can’t shake the feeling that Herobrine will show himself soon, I’m not sure if I can defeat him when he does.”
Stephanie stopped in the middle of the road and held fast to his hand, causing Steve to stop and look back at her.
“You listen to me Steve…if that monster ever does show himself, you will defeat him with ease!”
A laugh washed over everyone in the market; a truly dark sound, full of malice and pain. Steve immediately knew who it was. He stepped in front of Stephanie as the laugh grew louder and louder. He equipped his armor and bow as fast as he could, turning to find where the demon was hiding.
