It Spreads Chapter 6

[[FIRST]] [[PREV]] - [[NEXT]]  

There is only one mob left that retains the ability to build. To create. Endermen place their blocks haphazardly. Their actions appear random, but they can build all the same. They are the only living creature left that has the power to build. At least until you come along. You are also capable of living in all three dimensions. It hurts Endermen to be perceived by you. You are the only one that can hurt them in this way.

These creatures live in a place called the end, on tiny broken islands in an endless sea of void. Cities can be found on these broken islands. Cities and ships, littered with incredibly high level items. All built with purpose, a purpose that you might never get to understand. There are no people left here. There are no notes, no signs. Nothing left behind to tell the story of what happened but the buildings frozen in time.

The end is the only place survival players can obtain flight. The end is the only place creative players can easily die. The void can kill gods. It is the only thing that can kill gods. It cannot kill the Ender Dragon. You can kill the Ender Dragon. You can bring the Dragon back. You are not the first person to kill the Ender Dragon. You are not the first person to bring it back. Those who came and built cities, those who built ships in the void, those who figured out how to craft wings. They killed the Ender Dragon too. Every ship in the end has a dragon’s head. There are so many ships.

Those who came before you did everything you can do, and more. It did not save them. Yet here you are. You are not special in any singular ability, and yet, for some reason, you have made it here. You have survived. You are here, you are alive, and you are still creating. You are building, changing the world once more, taking apart the old and ushering in something new. Forming bonds in ways no other creatures can.

Those that came before you killed the Ender Dragon countless times. They brought the dragon back countless times.

And yet.

The Boogeyman’s Curse. 

Imagining a royal bowing to their love and kissing their hand, as they giggle and wipe dirt from their face from working

The royal looking up and muttering “I’m yours” into the fieldhand’s skin, something so different than how they act when they are ruling.

The commoner balancing the too big crown on their head as they order around their partner to do as they wish, with the other always complying willingly

It’s the only break they have from the roles their lives push on them. And they spend it together, lovingly.

AWWWWW Prince Grian and Farmer Scar!!!

He’s the og Minecrafter, he listens to metal music and punk rock, he never drives over the speed limit, he learned to code at age nine, one of his best qualities include sobbing “nooohohohooooo” while being chased by mobs, he’s a redstone master, he’s recently fired from his own made up cooking show, his biggest fan is a sentient moss man with massive eyes

the blockbench brainrot struck me and I did various hermit skins based on different artists designs <3
