I wasn't always like this. I wasn't always constantly watching my back for monsters, or constantly swinging my sword at an enemy. I used to live a very normal and peaceful life. Hi, my name is Steve, and I've been on one hell of an adventure.

This is my house.

This is where I was when my life changed forever.

    I was sitting around in my front yard, like you do, and then suddenly, this odd fairy-like creature came up to me.

    "Hey!" It called. "Please, I need your help!"

    I had never seen one of these creatures before, so I was startled.

    "Ah!" I yelped. "Who are you!"

    "I'm an allay," it said to me. "And I need your help. A great evil has arrived in the Overworld."

    "I-I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about."

    The allay fluttered around frantically. I could tell it was stressed. "Please," it pleaded. "Do you have any weapons, any at all? I need your help, otherwise you and everyone else will die."

    Now, this got me going. While I did not have much experience in combat, I did own an iron sword.

    "Very good!" the allay exclaimed. "Now, we must stay here for now, as I believe the Alter is following me."

   "Hold on," I said. "Who the hell is the "Alter?" and why is he following you?"

    "You see," the allay began. "The Alter is a most dangerous being, capable of annihilating entire continents. I was sent by the Resistance; an alliance dedicated to the eradication of this most heinous monster."

    "My mission was to infiltrate the Alter's fortress and steal his map... that I did do. However, I did not escape unnoticed. One of the Alter's minions spotted me, and now they are on my trail. I am sorry I have dragged you into this, but I had no other choice. The Resistance base is far away, and I cannot defend myself."

    Before I could even react, a bellowing voice boomed in the distance.

    "I believe you have something of mine." it said.

    "Oh no," said the Allay. "He has found me."

    I turned to the voice. As soon as I saw the figure, I was immediately terrified. It was tall and mean-looking. Its skin was made of obsidian, and it has two endermen at its side.

    "You want me to fight that thing?" I asked the allay.

    "We could always run." it responed.

    "I like that idea." And with that, I shot away like a bullet, the allay following from behind.
