lips: where Steve’s shoulder collided with him. By this time he’d lost track of Shelby. He only hoped that his friend was safe.
They were both out of breath, panting even. Yet things were far from over. Herobrine gripped his sword tighter and came after Steve. Steve brought up his sword in a defensive posture and braced himself for the shock of impact.
Their sword pushed against each other. The sound of metal grinding echoed throughout the village as they pushed their blades together, each trying to gain advantage over the other. Steve was losing his footing. The ground was wet and the mud was making it difficult to hold his ground.
His feet kept slipping. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could hold out. Herobrine smirked as he continued to lay into Steve.
Then Steve heard a howl and smiled. Shelby had appeared in front of him and started growling at Herobrine. He charged Herobrine, teleporting just before he crashed into him.
Seconds later Shelby appeared right behind Herobrine and bit him with his sharp teeth. Herobrine let out a cry of pain and fell face down in the mud. Steve resisted the urge to laugh at him now. Steve stood up.
“Enough.” He said, holding his sword at Herobrine. “You’ve lost. Just take it and leave. There’s nothing left for you here.”
Herobrine smirked at him again. “You know nothing, child. You will never accomplish what I have. You’ll amount to nothing!”
Then he lunged at Steve. Steve sidestepped the blow and pushed his sword through Herobrine. Herobrine coughed, and made strange wheezing noise. Then he fell over.
Steve sighed with relief and dropped the sword. It was over. He’d saved the village.
Now it was time to rebuild. He would repair all the damage that Shelby had done and do his best to help the villagers with any troubles that were caused during this whole mess.
As for Shelby and Steve, the pair would continue on as they always had; - the best of friends and forever partners.
About the Author
Mark Mulle is a passionate Minecraft gamer who writes game guides, short stories, and novels about the Minecraft universe. He has been exploring, building, and fighting in the game ever since its launch, and he often uses in-game experiences for inspiration on creating the best fiction for fellow fans of the game. He works as a professional writer and splits his time between gaming, reading, and storytelling, three hobbies and lifelong passions that he attributes to a love of roleplaying, a pursuit of challenging new perspectives, and a visceral enjoyment the vast worlds that imagination has to offer. His favorite thing to do, after a long day of creating worlds both on and off the online gaming community, is to relax with his dog, Herobrine, and to unwind with a good book. His favorite authors include Stephen King, Richard A. Knaak, George R. R. Martin, and R. A. Salvatore, whose fantasy works he grew up reading or is currently reading. Just like in Minecraft, Mark always strives to level up, so to speak, so that he can improve his skills and continue to surprise his audience. He prefers to play massive multiplayer online games but often spends time in those games fighting monsters one on one and going solo against the toughest mobs and bosses he can manage to topple. In every game, his signature character build is a male who focuses mostly on crafting weapons and enchanting, and in every battle, he always brings a one hander sword and a shield with as much magical attributes as he can pour into them. Because he always plays alone, he likes to use his game guides to share all the secrets and knowledge he gains, and who know—he may have snuck some information into his fiction as well. Keep an eye out for his next book!
