A Minecraft story: Forgotten Memories

Hey everyone, So its the new year, and I decided that this would be the best opportunity to step up my game and make better content! For a while now Ive been brainstorming up a new series called "Minecraft: The Hero's Journey" Which involves the same cast of characters from my comics but this time in a clear and focused story, this story is actually the prelude to this big series and will be the first part of a long adventure epic. I really hope you guys enjoy this, there will also be a comic at the end of this story that will be posted tomorrow! So stay tuned! Without further ado, Let's begin the story! (NOTE: This story is pretty long so Im sorry if I double post, if a Mod can merge the thread that would be greatly appreciated.) :)

ANOTHER NOTE: Yes, I know the story looks like one huge wall of text, But I have no idea how to space the words out on the forums, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Enjoy!


Minecraft: A Hero's Journey: Forgotten memories

It was a Blazing mid-summer day, A thick fog covered the lush jungle, The air was murky almost to the point where you could hardly breathe, and many sounds of creatures echoed through the trees. The Dragonflies buzzed around the ponds and the Birds perched themselves high above the lofty canopy. There sat a Lone Toucan, scanning its surroundings for any invaders or potential snacks, but amongst the bushes came a rustling sound, The Toucan then flew off as it sensed someone coming, out of the thick bushes came a young explorer, His hair was a soft brown, and he wore a normal T-shirt and jeans, but the most vibrant of his clothing was an orange and yellow coat that was designed to look like a Monk’s robe. “Okay, so that Jungle temple was said to be around here, but I haven’t found anything yet.” He said to himself as he tried to get around the Overgrown vines and bushes. “Maybe if I keep going Ill eventually find it.” He then continued across the grassy path to his alleged Destination. This boy was named John, He was a Resident of a small City in the world of Minecraft, today he was venturing out into the wilderness for some Treasure or better yet a new place that hasn’t been discovered yet.

The sound of rolling Thunder echoed across the land, John knew that there might be a storm coming and if he doesn’t find shelter things could take a turn for the worse. John hurried through the path as fast as he could to find a shelter in the trees, He then took a path into a thicker part of the jungle. There he sat at the end of a Tree stump and sighed in relief. “Man, I forgot how exhausting Exploring was, I haven’t done this in a long time.” He said to himself again, “This jungle is very nice, It’s not very often I come out into nature and just listen.” John then took a moment to look at his surroundings, there was something about it that was familiar to him, he then recalled a memory he had where he read about something in a book once, it spoke about how this land used to be a Regular forest back in the Beta Era of Minecraft, Many people made settlements here and it used to be home to many animals, but many years have passed and nature had practically overclaimed the area. It was peaceful, the air was deadly still and no man-made sound could be heard. John then noticed out of the corner of his eye, there happened to be another path that split from the one he was on! Where could this lead to? John was hesitant to find out but nonetheless persevered.

He stood up and ventured down this unknown path of dirt and mud. The Trees began to block out more of the sky and faint raindrops could be heard hitting the leaves. It wasn’t long until john came across what looked like wooden fencing, He wondered how something as old as this could still be standing. He then hopped over the fence and kept going. John was on edge due to this place being thicker and darker than before, Who knows what kind of animals could be hiding behind the trees waiting to attack? John walked for about 15 minutes until he came to a stop. The fog began to roll across the ground as he looked up. There in front of him sat a Wooden house. The one block wide windows were shattered, and vines covered the sides and grew into the wood. The doors were covered in moss and looked like they had been eaten up by termites. “Whoa…What happened here?” he said as he looked at the decaying home, “Are the doors still locked?” he thought as he grabbed the doorknob, it twisted indicating that the doors weren’t locked. “Huh, for a house this old looking it should have been locked.” He thought to himself, He then tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge, as if there was something blocking it. He then tried pushing again with a greater amount of force, this time it opened, but the door then disintegrated into a pile of wood and mush. A Foul stench radiated from the Inside making John almost puke, he held it in and covered his nose with his coat. He then slowly walked inside…


Part 2!

John entered the home and looked around, It had fallen into such disrepair, the wooden paneling indicated that this was indeed built in the beta age of Minecraft. A tree had grown into the floor and outside the large window in the back, and Vines hung from the ceiling and swayed back and forth from even the slightest wind gust. In the side of the house sat an almost broken anvil, Brewing stand and some chests. John went over to see if he could get the chests open, he pulled on the top, only for the lock to snap off on the front. He then opened the lid and looked inside, It was filled with assorted blocks and items, He thought to himself: “Maybe something in here could tell me who’s house this is?” he rummaged through all of the dusty items, one of which was a Golden Sword, a Clock and some Gunpowder bags, a Key ingredient to making Explosives. He then found at the bottom of the chest a Photo album. Bingo! John then opened the book and flipped through the pages, one of the photos he found was a Glowstone creation sitting in a Grassy terrain, it was built to look like the letter E. As if that wasn’t strange enough, he also found what seemed to be a photo of an old village, it looked primitive but teeming with activity. John thought that this wasn’t what he was searching for, and just as he was about to give up, a Small photo fell out of the scrapbook.

He looked down and picked it up off the floor and then examined it. The photo showed a group of people all sitting together, it looked very formal as 2 of the men were dressed in dapper outfits, Both of them wore Monocles and the same Top hat. There was something about these men that looked familiar to John, but he couldn’t quite remember who they were, he then glanced over at another person who was with them, It was a beautiful lady with Pink hair, and a Maids outfit, She seemed to be smiling and carrying the Golden sword that John found in that Chest. John then came to the realization, He Recognized that Lady! This house wasn’t just any run down home, this used to belong to the Prestigious Youtube duo Gamechap and Bertie! He looked around now remembering what he had stumbled upon, it seems that no one has lived there for a long time, a ton of questions began to circle around in his head, What happened to this place? Where have they gone? How long have they’ve been gone for? John then thought to himself again, “I have to figure out what happened, there has to be another clue around here that could tell me.” He then tried to make it to the other side of the house, he came across a few more chests and proceeded to try and open them, but before he could he heard a sound that almost made his heart stop. The wood creaked and he heard footsteps, he was definitely not alone.

part 3!

John then reached inside his coat and readied his Steel Katana. He then turned around to see what it was, and surely enough, there stood another person. It was someone that looked like the lady in the picture, but her hair was a dark maroon rather than pink, and she too was wearing a maids outfit. John recognized who it was and said her name, “…Anna? Is that you?” It clearly looked like she has aged, her hair was a grey mixed with her natural maroon color, and her clothes looked tattered. She then replied in a soft voice, “Who are you? I don’t remember you from around here…” She then walked over to him and continued “We rarely get visitors around here, Ever since Gamechap-kun left I was told to keep their home clean, However he hasn’t returned.” John said “I see that…what happened around here exactly?”

Anna then began to show John around the decaying home. “This house used to be beautiful, I loved cleaning every last inch of this home, Seeing Gamechap-kun and Bertie-kun happy made me happy, but now that they haven’t returned, day after day this home began to fall apart and decay, It was harder for me and Beverly to clean..” She then stopped in her tracks and had this blank horrified look in her eyes, she then muttered, “B-Beverly… She was my Sister, I loved her with all of my heart, but then she too has disappeared, and its only me now…” She then Lifted her head into the Air and Screamed at the top of her lungs. “WHERE DID YOU GO BEVERLY!?!?” John was beginning to feel uneasy since he began to figure out that Anna wasn’t feeling right in the head. He then asked nervously, “What happened to Beverly? If you don’t mind me asking….” Anna then turned

around and pointed to a Corner of the house. “She’s over there, she whispered. John turned and what he saw almost made him Puke again, there laid a decomposing corpse of Beverly, Her Bones were visible and most of her flesh was still there. But not only that there was Streaks of blood across the floor where her body laid. This time John knew something was wrong, He was ready to bolt out the door as fast as he could, He had to get out of there. It was then Anna spoke to him again “We barely had any food left, I didn’t know what to do, but it was then I saw Beverley looked..Tasty.” John was trembling in fear now that she said that, this was something that he hasn’t felt in a long time, Genuine terror. He has faced down many monsters in the hostile world of Minecraft, but this was a whole new type of monster. Anna then turned towards john and slowly started walking to him. “I cant stand what happened to poor Beverley, but It had to be done, This is Gamechap-kun’s house, this is HIS HOME! And this is my job to protect him with all of my life!!”

John began to Slowly back away to the door, Anna has clearly gone insane, and staying here longer could cost him his life, but there was something about Anna he didn’t see before, Her eyes were not a Blue color like what he remembered, instead they were a darkish red, No human on earth ever had an eye color like that, he thought to himself. Anna then Pulled out a Golden blood-soaked sword and Screamed “I WONT LET YOU TAKE GAMECHAP-KUN’S RICHES!!!!!!” She then Lunged at him ready for the kill, Out of panic, John used his airbending powers to create a blast of pressurized air that sent anna crashing into the wall. John then bolted out the door and into the thick jungle, The Rain had grown strong and a Flash of lightning illuminated his surroundings, As he ran, he could hear the Inaudible screeching coming from the Decaying home. John Ran across the muddy path as if he was a Cheetah, His heart was racing out of his chest as he jumped over tree roots and vines, Several minutes later he stopped at the edge of the jungle and slumped down at the end of a tree. The Rain had lightened and there was no more thunder.

John’s mind was racing over what he just witnessed, What was that? Why was she acting that way, and most importantly, Why was her eyes a Dark red instead of a clear ocean blue? Something wasn’t right, and that it wouldn’t be wise to go back into that jungle. He then dusted himself off and stared at the barely visible sunset through the clouds, He said to himself, “Okay, that’s enough exploring for today…or possibly for several months.” He then began to walk across the lush grass back to his home. It was night by the time he got home, he threw off his coat and sat down at the edge of his bed. He was still thinking about the incident in the Jungle, Many questions were still left unanswered. “What really did happen to gamechap and bertie? Maybe we wont ever know…”

 

Very nice story, John! Can't wait to see where it goes!
