Once upon a time Babs the Aerbunny was taking a little stroll across the Island where he lived. It was a very large and nice island. Even though at night all the mean monsters would come out and harass anything that they could. Still Babs loved his home, but he wondered if there was anything more to it.
Each night before he went to bed, he would think about all the legends he had heard of. From the fierce Sun God, whose wraith could stop the sun in its tracks. To the Solemn Cube, who lives underground in tunnels that are guarded by strange blocks. Even the heavenly Valkyrie left him in awe. But his favorite legend was that of a mysterious traveler, with the ability to travel to a world below their own.
But everyone in the Aether knew that there was no "World under their own" Many have left the Aether, floated down on clouds made into cloth. But none have ever returned. Still Babs believed the legends! For unbeknownst to him, the day where his world would be turned on its head was soon to arise.
Let us now turn our attentions from the mystical Aether, and return to Minecraftia for a time. Down on a little island in the middle of the ocean, Steve awoke early in the morning; he tended to his animals and his crops. Once done his morning routine, Steve stopped, for instead of mining, like he usually did, he had other plans. Steve had found a strange piece of paper one day. On it was a riddle.
In order to get to the sea of the sky,
One must journey through the pits of lava.
In order to find the stone of light,
Of which was place by fallen Valkyries.
The stones must be placed in the order of the way to hell.
Only then with pure water may the gateway open.
Steve wondered over the riddle for a while. He had no idea what a "sea of the sky" was, but he wanted to find out. So, being done with his chores, he went inside to his study. He went though many books, but none even mentioned a "Sea of the sky", until he found and old decrepit book under the bookcase. It was very dusty, and when he went to blow it off dust flew everywhere! But for a split second, Steve thought he saw an island with no water around it.
Awed at the sight, he looked again at the cover. And do you all know what that book read? The title of the book said "Aether" Aether? Wondered Steve, interested by the book, he set it on the table and when he opened the book, He found the same riddle that he had found on the ground the day earlier. "The Aether! The Sea of the sky must be the Aether" shouted Steve. Impressed with himself, he read on. And saw pictures of Strange fluffy rabbit looking things, and cows with golden wings!
With a new vigor, Steve took to deciphering the riddle! "Journey to the pits of lava" Easy thought Steve that must be the Nether! "Find the stones of light" “Glowstone!” Thought Steve, "I have some in my storage!" "The stones must be placed in the order of the way to hell." But what did the riddle mean by this? Thought Steve. Suddenly it hit him!
"The portal, it meant put the Glowstone in the same order as the obsidian!" excited by his new discovery he ran to his storage. Checking where he keeps his stranger blocks, he found 12 Glowstone. "Hmm" Thought Steve, "I don't have enough for a full portal." "Maybe i can cheat it and exclude the corners? Then i only need 10" thought Steve. Walking back into his study he checked the book. "Darn" thought Steve "I will need the 2 extra Glowstone" Walking down into his basement he went to his nether portal. But now we visit Babs.
Babs has been busy himself too, along with Steve he has gone to all the older Aerbunnies and asked about "The world below our own" They mocked and laughed at him for being a fool, that no such thing could ever exist. But Babs would not be deterred. He was hopping home when suddenly there was a large flash of light!
Steve turned away, blinded by the glowstone, He had not expected to find it so soon, but none the less. He got the last 2 blocks that he needed then returned home. Back in his house in Minecraftia, he gathered up the Glowstone, and went outside. He then built a portal out of glowstone, but Steve in his rush forgot the last part the riddle. "Only then with pure water may the gateway open." was the last line, but Steve held in his hand not a bucket of water but his trusted Flint and Steel. Now you have to give him a bit of credit for Steve was out there for the better part of the day, trying to light a portal of glowstone.
Finally infuriated enough to give up, He stormed back inside to his study to rip the riddle apart for being nothing but garbage, When he saw it. "Only then with pure water may the gateway open." "Water" Said Steve, "Water" saying it again, as if it was a foreign word in his mouth. He grabbed his bucket with which he milked the cows, ran down the beach, rinsed it out a bit, and then filled it up again. "Pure water" thought Steve, "What more pure then water taken directly from the oceans?" He said out of breath from the run.
He walked up to the portal and threw the water at the portal! But the water didn't just keep going through like Steve thought, It stopped in the middle of the portal and slowly spread to encompass the entire inner portal. Then all of a sudden Steve was staring at a glowstone portal with water filling the inside. Tentatively, Steve approached the portal.
He stuck out his hand, and felt the cool water move aside and wrap around his hand like a perfect fitting glove. Shocked by the feeling he pulled back his hand. Then slowly he stepped into the portal, and once it has encased him completely, something changed. The portal was dissolving him!! But... it didn't hurt, and for some reason he was completely calm. It was nearly done, he could see right through his own hand! But suddenly his vision got blurry! Instead of his home he was looking at some strange blue-green grass. And there was one the fluffy rabbit he had seen in the book.
Babs, after seeing what had blinded him, stared, stunned. One second he was walking home, the next, the thing appeared, with some creature in it! The creature!!
Babs dove off the side to try hiding! The creature stumbled out of the light-thing, he looked around, it’s like he had never seen the Aether before. "What in the name of notch did I get myself into" Said Steve staring around at what looking like giant floating islands of land.
Remembering the rabbit-thing Steve set off in that direction. Though, something felt odd. His armor! His armor felt light as a feather! Whatever this place was, it had quite a lot less gravity thought Steve. Enlighten by the thought, Steve dove forward expecting to soar off. He came right back down to the ground the as if he where home. "Herobrine be cursed!" swore Steve. But when he got back up he saw his diamond armor that took him weeks to make, lying on the ground, in a jigsaw amount of pieces. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF NOTCH!" shouted Steve in a fit of rage. He then took his diamond pickaxe over to a bit of exposed of some strange light grey stone, and hit it as hard as he could. It was if he had wooden tools all over again!
Steve sat on the ground and leaned against the stone. "What is this place!!" said Steve in awe. "This is the Aether young one" said a voice above. Shocked by the sudden voice Steve jumped up, unsheathing his sword and looking up. But what he saw, left him stunned. He saw what looked like an angel! It had the body of a human, but wings like an angel. "That thing will do you no good" It said gesturing at the sword. Steve, Hearing that griped it tighter and shouted "How would you know angel!" The angel chuckled, "I am no angel my dear" Then in the blink of an eye she was in front of him, then like an Enderman she was back to her original position. But she had his sword! Steve looked down and he was holding nothing but air!
Then slumping to his knees Steve just looked at her, and crooked out "What are you?” "I am a Valkyrie!" said the thing. "And my name is Svipul". "It means Changeable in our language." said the Valkyrie. Trying and failing many times to pronounce the ancient name, Steve said "I can’t possibly say that, how about just Swift?” "Swift?" said the Valkyrie, as if testing the name. "Very well, you may call me swift" said Swift, and with that Steve fell to his back let his body go limp. Swift floated down to his side "Are you ok traveler?", "Steve" Said Steve, "are you alright Steve?" Asked Swift, "Just gimmie a bit" said Steve sitting up. "What is this place?" Asked Steve, "This is the Aether of course" Swift said, as if it was common knowledge. "Where are you from?" asked Swift "Minecraftia" Said Steve "Where is that?" asked Swift, with a questioning gaze. "Uh…Well… I guess through there" said Steve pointing at the portal. "What is that i have never seen such a thing" exclaimed Swift.
"Come on then" Said Steve grabbing her hand, "I'll show you". Then Steve was on his back with a shiny pink spear aimed around his throat. "You will not touch me" Said Swift with an acid look. "Right, gotcha" said Steve wondering if he was going to die at the hands of a strange creature and pink Spear. Slowly Steve got up, made his way to the portal, Swift following with her spear leveled at his chest.
Babs ran up to the goddess who was walking the creature back to the light. He told her what he saw and she looked on with interest.
Swift looked down to see the Aerbunny bounce over to her "what is it little one?" she said kneeling down. Steve turned to see what had made the Valkyrie act so caring, and saw the little fluffy ball that ran off when he first got there. "Is that so said" said Swift as she gave Steve a Sideways glance. "What" said Steve? "This little guy says you came out a burst of light like a god" said Swift. The fluff-ball just stared. "uhh well i guess you could say that" Said Steve. "What does that mean" Asked Swift. "Well watch this" Said Steve, as he walk into the portal and dissolved.
"What is this!!" said Swift in alarm. Then suddenly the surface of the portal glowed and suddenly, Steve was standing in it, like nothing happened. Swift recovered from her shock quickly "What is that and how does it work?!" asked Swift sternly. "It’s a portal and i have no idea" said Steve stepping out of the portal. "Here you try" said Steve gesturing towards the portal. Carefully Swift stepped into the portal felt her body dissolve, but yet was completely calm, just like her counterpart. Then she was at some house of sorts with enormous amounts of water all around her. Just as she stepped out of the portal, there was a flash of light behind her. And there stood Steve with a big goofy smile on his face.
And for the better part of their time in Minecraftia Steve spent his time showing Swift his world. Once they were done the two returned through the portal to the Aether.
Suddenly Swift turned her head in a direction "What’s up?" asked Steve
"I must leave, NOW." And in the blink of an eye she was gone. Steve stood there a bit stunned then recovered. "Right then!" said Steve with renewed vigor and enthusiasm; he set off to explore this new world. Then proceeded to walk through the portal and off the island.
But as he fell he fell right through a cloud. But he felt this cloud was oddly solid, so as fast as he could he collected as much of the cloud as he could. And for some reason the cloud slowed his fall, but then he saw something very strange. Was it? No it couldn't be! It was! He was floating down a bit from his house,
With a splash he landed in the water not far from his house, but the cloud was gone. After he had swum back to land he headed inside for some new clothe. After that was done, he went back through the portal only to see the little fluff-ball waiting for him. With a great leap, it jumped up on his head and settled down. Steve stepped out of the portal and stood there confused. Steve saw no harm in having the little guy around so he figured, "what’s the worse that could happen." Babs knew that his one chance to have an adventure in his boring home was with the strange creature, so he hopped on top of it and claimed the creature.
And with that the new Duo set off for the new adventure that would spread like wild fire.
Each night before he went to bed, he would think about all the legends he had heard of. From the fierce Sun God, whose wraith could stop the sun in its tracks. To the Solemn Cube, who lives underground in tunnels that are guarded by strange blocks. Even the heavenly Valkyrie left him in awe.
