Why and What I'm Doing:
Hello Minecraft Forum! I am tafdsga1, and I am going to write a story. This story will be titled "Building It Up" and will be a continuous fan fiction about character(s) in a Minecraftian world. I will write a chapter a day in a word doc, and copy it over for sake of saving. On weekends (Fri. night, Sat., Sun.) I will write up to 3 chapters, but still only post one a day, depending on my workload during my week. If you think that I should put this in a different section, have ideas for character names or story ideas, send me a message, and I will take your suggestions into consideration. Thanks! A little about me:
I have written a previous minecraft fanfic and decided it was time to give it a second go. I usually only play weekends on either Dowseworld (mc.dowseworld.co.uk:2147) or SkitScapes Server (play.skitscape.com). I really like minecraft and have been playing since Beta 1.2, and never have fully stopped, only ever temporarily. I like to write in free time and with lack of real ideas decided to do this. Now on to the story!
Building It Up
Chapter One:
First Day in a New World
It was a rather sunny morning when Zem woke up in the middle of a forest. He looked around at the trees and wondered to himself, “Where am I? When I fell asleep I was just laying in my bed at home. Why am I in a freaking forest?” Zem stood up, dusted off his back, and walked up to a tree. Looking up into the leaves, he saw a small red apple. Zem reached for the apple, and while doing so punched the leaves of the tree. They fell down around him, and a sapling fell to the ground. Zem stared at his hand, physically unharmed by the accidental punching of leaves and branched, and then looked down at the sapling. It had gone from about the size of his knee to fitting in his palm. Zem picked the sapling up off the ground, and put it into his pocket. When he did this, he realized his pockets were huge, despite being pant-sized.
From behind a far-off tree, Flynn and Sora watched the new guy learn how to punch leaves and get his first apple. “Do you think he’ll survive out here, when it turns night?” Sora asked Flynn. “If he can find our house, sure. But if he gets lost, the zombies might get him.” Flynn made a playful lunge at Sora to scare her a little, but instead of the usual flinch she grabbed his arm and twisted it, hard. “Look who’s smart now.” said Sora, laughing quietly to herself.
Chapter 2:
The Darkness
Zem looked up at the sky, and took a bite from his apple. The stars were starting to come out, and he began to feel tired. “I guess I have to find somewhere to sleep tonight.” Zem thought to himself. As he looked out into the dark woods, he noticed a small glow coming from in between some trees. He started walking towards it, when out of nowhere, an arrow flew right over his head. Zem quickly looked around and saw a skeleton figure standing there, holding a bow. It drew its string back, and fired an arrow straight at Zem. He moved to duck down, but it struck him squarely in the shoulder. “OW GOD DAMMIT!” screamed Zem, as he clutched his shoulder.
Sora looked out the window when she heard the yell coming from the woods. “Looks like something got ‘im.” she said to Flynn. “I hope it was just an arrow and not an explosion or a flesh eating creep.” Flynn looked at Sora and laughed, “and what if it was?” he said, taunting her. “Then I’d go and find his body and bury it.” Sora said promptly, crossing her arms. “He doesn’t deserve to die on his first night, can we please go help him? please!” “Fine fine, I’ll go get him and bring him back. Don’t you go anywhere, its dangerous out there.
Flynn ran out the door with an iron sword in one hand and a torch in the other. He spotted the skeleton standing over the boy from ten feet away. When Flynn charged the skeleton, it turned to him with an already draw arrow and fired, the arrow barely missing his head. Flynn slashed the skeleton open, kicked it back, and watched its remains fall to the ground. As Flynn helped the kid up, he said, “The names Flynn. No need to thank me just helping the new guy.” Zem replied, “I’m Zem. Thanks anyways though, and what IS this place? I fell asleep last night in my bed and woke up this morning in the middle of nowhere.” Flynn told Zem, “This is Minecraftia. It is a land filled with new things and different ways of doing things than you’re used to. Soon enough you’ll feel at home. Also, don’t try and fight skeletons without a weapon. We don’t want you dying on the first day.”
“We?” Zem thought to himself as he walked with Flynn to a house.
