《Minecraft: A New Beginning》Episode 43: A Coming Disaster (1)

******* Ender Dragon's POV *******
What is happening?
The tight grip of the chains around me is starting to loosen up.
I tried stretching my body and somewhat can move around a few blocks.
Interesting.
Did something happen with the Goddess?
I closed my eyes and try to see the overworld through the eyes of my creations. Most of them are still trapped and being pushed back by the humans but I can see one who is now flying above a human village.
My newest and favorite creation is moving against the beings that chained me on my island.
I laughed and raised my head.
It is finally time to make the humans bow down before me.
I used my powers a little bit and tried seeing the future to see the foolish struggle of humans. I was surprised to see something else that makes my happiness go away.
Five people will stand before me.
A man wielding a spear.
A woman wielding a bow.
A man wielding a giant hammer.
A woman who fights with her fists.
All four of them will be leading by a man wielding all of those weapons and a sword.
I see. That is why the Goddess grip on me loosened is because she used a lot of power to break the curse that I placed upon the descendants of the heroes who fought me.
It seems the Goddess also brought another outsider in this world.
It doesn't matter. The Goddess just made a huge mistake. I know she is weakened now so it is a perfect time to rally my creations.
I opened my mouth and screamed so loud.
Multiple cracks appeared before me and I can feel the echoes of my voice traveling across the dimensions and all over the world.
******* Legendary Creeper's POV *******
I can hear a scream echoed in the air and I know whose voice it is.
The Ender Dragon.
'Kill them. Show them no mercy.' A whisper suddenly brushed my ears.
Don't worry, Ender Dragon. Even if you didn't tell me, I will still make them pay for what they have done.
I am flying on top of the human village near the forest and it looks like they are waking up because of the huge roar.
The sun is about to go down and looks like it is about time to make a move.
I kneel on my one knee and tap the top of the head of the ghast. The ghast know that this is a signal to attack. This is one of the things that I trained him to do.
The ghast started spitting black flaming balls to the houses below us.
Multiple explosions occurred and set most of the houses on fire.
Human screams are now can be heard and I can see some soldiers below frantically searching for the enemies who attack them.
Most of the humans are now running out of their houses and are quickly evacuating the village. Even with their panic screams, they are still organized and is now traveling towards the west. It seems this is not their first time being attack by a monster.

I can't let them escape.
I was about to order my ghast to start firing again when suddenly arrows started flying towards us.
I quickly steered the ghast away from the arrows.
It seems that human soldiers managed to find me.
It looks like I need to take care of this matter myself.
I jumped off the ghast and landed in the middle of the soldiers. They are about thirty of them but they are only equipped with leather armor and stone weapons.
What happened to the renowned diamond soldiers of Astikuviel?
Some of them started charging at me with their weapons held tight in their hands.
I didn't use my abilities for this battle and just started killing them by using my hands. I want the bodies intact so I can try to bury them to turn into a creeper or if that doesn't work because they don't bare enough hate towards mankind, I could try turning them into other monsters that I can use.
It didn't take long for ten of them to die.
I noticed that there is something different about the Astikuvilian soldiers. They are not as brave and tenacious than I could remember. I guess centuries has changed the people in this world. I have to give them my respect though since they are fighting me with everything they got.
Another arrow pierced my head. I just pulled the arrow out and threw it on the ground.
"Go, soldier. Will hold this monster off. Tell the queen about this."
I can hear the man in charge of this small army ordering one of the mounted soldiers to leave.
'No. I can't let them escape.' I said to myself while trying to see beyond the smoke.
Smoke is starting to fill the surroundings because of the burning wood and I can barely see any of my enemies.
I picked up one of the soldiers that are in front of me and threw him on the general direction of the messenger.
I didn't hear anything or anyone being hit.
I am getting mad about not being able to see my surroundings. I concentrated on my right hand and lift it to the sky.
An explosion occurred and the blast managed to clear up all the smoke. All of the soldiers also got blown away by the explosion and is on the ground coughing blood or not moving.
The mounted soldier managed to get away but it doesn't matter. There is now nothing left standing in my way.
I closed my eyes and focused on detecting the remaining humans around me.
It seems they are still about five of them nearby.
I quickly run towards them and see that they are mounted and was about to run away.
I concentrated on my legs and made them explode. I am now flying in the air towards them.
They managed to distance from me but I managed to land in between them and trapped an old man.
"Peyton!" The old woman suddenly screamed at the old man.
"Go on without me, Eleanor! I'll be fine I promise!" The old man screamed back at the old woman.

There are three horses that are now standing between me.
The other side has two women riding them and each of them has a child riding behind while the old man is now holding a stone spear in his hand.
The old man kicked his horse forward and pointed the spear at me.
I just grab the spear and toss the old man on the ground.
"Peyton!" The old woman screamed his name again and is now starting to go back.
"No! Go! Don't turn back!" The old man managed to shout back while coughing up blood.
I can see the old woman staring at me while stopping her horse. She slowly turned around and both of the horses are now galloping away.
I slowly walk towards the old man who is laying on the ground facing the dirt.
I kicked him to make him lie on his back.
I then stepped my foot on his chest.
Seeing the other people abandoned him, the old man stared at me and started laughing.
He is probably gone insane from having so much fear.
"Haha. You have the face who thinks you already won." The old man said to me while trying to shake off my foot.
I put more force in my foot making the old man grimace.
"You think you can defeat, old man?" I said to him while bending myself so he can see my face better.
"No, but I know he can." He quickly answered my question while still trying to laugh even having trouble breathing.
What is this old man talking about?
"I know you will bow down on his feet and beg for his mercy." The old man continued.
I just stared at the old man while listening to him.
"I know he will chop you into tiny pieces and there is nothing you can do."
"Who is this person you are talking about, old man?" I finally asked him.
The old man smiled so brightly like he is not being stepped on by a legendary monster.
"King Carolus." The old man said proudly.
He is now holding a stone hoe in his right hand and quickly swing towards my chest.
The stone hoe buries deep in my chest and the old man let go of the handle.
I just pulled out the stone hoe and tossed it aside.
I then concentrated on my foot.
******* Arthur's POV *******
A lot of things happened this past few days after the Goddess granted me gifts and abilities.
Queen Thea quickly said that this is a good sign that the Goddess will finally get rid of the monsters in this world.
Queen Thea also tried to grant me back my title as a lord. I was about to refuse when she suddenly shows me a letter from King Carolus. He said that I need to stop someone named Sisilla from fighting Legendary Monsters all by herself. I don't know what he is talking about but I don't want to disobey King Carolus wishes.
I accepted the offer of lordship and a great ceremony was held. Lots of people tried to stop this but Queen Thea just stared at them and they quickly shrink back. After the battle between the Xaerin and the kingdom, Queen Thea returned to the capital as a winner and quickly gathered the favor of some influential people and the common folk. All of the opposition has now little power towards her.
Queen Thea also ordered to start recruiting more soldiers to build a great army. She said that if our enemies can't be defeated by kindness, we just need to defeat them using iron, stone, and flint. The people on the court also tried to stop her about this because of the lack of food in the kingdom but she quickly offered a solution to the problem. King Carolus taught us how to turn skeleton bones into a bonemeal and use it to quickly grow crops. The people were shocked about this. The hunger is finally solved in this kingdom.
I asked for a condition though to Queen Thea before accepting the lordship. I want someone sent to save our people from the Kingdom of Chaephitopia. Thankfully, Queen Thea agreed to my condition. She already has plans about this while we are traveling back to the kingdom.
I am now galloping towards the east together with other twenty people as my guards.
We are now close to my village that is recently fixed and it seems the sun is about to go down.
A roar suddenly echoed in the air making the horses frantic and everyone around me shock.
I quickly calmed down my horse and every one even though I am quite a bit shock myself.
'What just happened? Whose scream was that?'
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted with explosions on the distance. I can see fire began to envelop the houses and people are now running towards us.
I ordered most of my guards to help the civilians evacuate and have only five soldiers with me.
It is probably another zombie or skeleton attack but why there are explosions and fire though?
As we are about to enter the village, another mounted soldier approaches us.
"Stop!" I quickly ordered the mounted soldier to stop his horse.
The mounted soldier didn't listen to me and even try to run past us.
Three of my guards quickly surrounded the mounted soldier and the mounted soldier is now holding his spear high in his hand.
"Get out of my way! I have to report this to the queen!" The mounted shouted at us while trying to attack anyone who tried to get near him.
"Speak! What is happening?" I said to him while motioning to my guards to distance themselves.
"A monster about the size of a human is attacking the village. The monster is so powerful and can't be stopped." The mounted soldier quickly said to me.
I let the mounted soldier get past us and even relay a message on my own to the queen.
I quickly moved my horse forward in the village along with the other five soldiers.

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
