(recommended to understand more) Writers Note:
Since this story is written in the 1600's, I should probably use realistic vocabulary but nah I wont, this is just a story. Everything doesn't have to be realistic, including that this story is going to be posted on a game website xD. Additionally, the vocabulary back then is different and tricky to get used to in my perspective. I didn't live in the 17th century so bare with me on this story. I'll probably make some non-historical stuff up, meaning that some things are not going to true. And yes this story will contain Minecraft stuff (look in Chapter 1 (2nd entry) for the first signs, or read the whole story). I used most of my time to make this story, you should expect a bit of errors on the writing.Though on a much fascinating note, this is my first blog post on Planet Minecraft! Hurray!

Enjoy the story now ;')

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust



THE FOLLOWING STORY IS READ IN A JOURNAL.
THE DIARY IS WRITTEN BY A CREW MEMBER ABOARD THE LEAMINGTON SHIP.

THE YEAR IS 1682.




Prologue:



April 6th:

I haven't written anything for a while now, since not that much important events happened, but I finally am now. I almost even forgot about my own beloved diary. The trade has finally been settled, at last our work is now completed! A trade with China has been successful. We will collect the new belongings and return them at the Leamington ship. Therefor, we will bring the ship back to England for further instructions. We do need more sufficient food for the ride back home, but thankfully the Chinese were so nice to bring more food to the ship! Today is a wonderful day!


April 8th:

We are already heading back home, but today is special. The events that happened on this particular day are memorizing. We had a big feast, a big celebration! The captain commanded us to have a celebration for the successful days today. All of us were greatly happy. Of course on every ship-type-celebration, there must be booze; but there was! We all drank booze, and I mean big amounts of booze. Half of us couldn't even stand up after drinking for 30 minutes to 1 hour. We all sang churlish songs while we drank, we all were being buffoons at this point! Shortly before I started to write, a funny occurrence happened. Two of the newly-employed members were verbally fighting over which type of girls they like, HAH thats hilarious. They both clearly had too much to drink (not that I blamed them).


April 9th:

This is bad news. We all awoke on what appeared to be sounds of a horrible storm in motion. We can dimly see the storm outside. What is more worse is that its night-time right now. As I am writing right now in a room, the storm is slowly moving towards us. We don't have that much time to plan, but we need to move the ship away from the source. I don't know if we are going to live. This will probably be the last time you will hear from me journal. May God be with us and protect us.




Chapter 1:




(2 1/2 unsuspecting days passed)

*the journal slightly appears to have a plethora of small scattered rips all across most of the pages, including scattered rips on the front and back of the journal* *the pages are still readable and writable*


April 11th:

*bad scribbled handwriting*

How come this journal survived? How?! WHERE IM I?

*another same-date entry*

This has been weird. We were all found on a very unknown place. I found my diary near me, mostly with rips but still readable. On some part of a beach, all of us were found, without any kind of injury and still with our clothes on. We were all confused and scared, a few of us cried. You see diary, we didn't safely maneuver past the storm, in fact, we were in the storm. We were all inside, but outside, the treacherous winds covered our ship, the sky was completely dark, the ship was about to be demolished. It was until a strange cloud appeared in front of the ship as it seems for us. The odd cloud turned into a ring-shaped hole, exactly like a vortex. We were inside the vortex, moving at incredible speeds while our bodies were unrealistically still intact to the floor. The ring-shaped hole was large at first, but was beginning to be smaller. It almost looked like a great maelstrom of beauty. Then out of nowhere, the clouds were starting to perfectly be block-shaped. It's like something came out of a fantasy. That was the only memory I had, after that moment, everything went black for me. Two days later and still alive, i'm writing! This is just an unexpected fortuitous discovery. We all don't know where the ship is, so we will need to count on the items that we find. We might be here for a while, so onto my third person perspective "And to a new land he goes!"


April 12th:

I still don't know where we are, but this is another world, possibly another dimension. I don't even know if I should keep it as "April" but i'll just do it anyway. We all notice that if we look upwards closely, we can see that the sky is completely light-blue! The block-shaped clouds are still there. Someone found a walking skeleton with a bow! Isn't that crazy diary? That baleful entity tried to shoot us with arrows, but we dodged it cowardly. Finally, a person found flintlock musket on the sand and shot the thing. What is more crazy is that we also found a monster! This almost-identical monster had green skin, light blue teared up shirt, and blueish pants. We also shot the entity. Weird day huh?




Chapter 2:




April 13th:

This new world keeps getting interesting. We decided to explore further a few days ago. We gathered our surviving belongings (which is almost everything oddly still) and took forth into this mystical world. The beach was an enclave of vivid green trees, looking like a forest. But when we ventured deeper into this big area, we began to uncover block-shaped animals! Of course there were animals we knew back in "our" world but the body was each divided into block-sections. They still moved normally though! We had to kill a pig though, we all were really hungry and needed some kind of repast; in fact, it was surprisingly palatable. We noticed that the forest was separated by a desert with the same exact sand. The desert had a couple of block-shaped cacti, square cacti! The green cactus was perfectly square-shaped, it still looked prickly though. We surpassed the strange non-foggy desert, oddly enough while on our journey we saw a couple of rabbits. We saw grassland area and decided to spend the night there. I currently am writing in this area on night-time. Oh and by the way diary, on night-time we have the be vigilant of our surroundings, more monsters appear.


April 14th:

The moon and sun looks...different. The moon far outshines all other luminaries in the night sky, including the sun as well. With all of this danger lurking around, I thought that someone would shamefully die, but no! We found water source on the grassland area, but we were so thirsty that we didn't even think twice on whether to drink. The medium-size pond wasn't salty, it was very clean, and it tasted great! Anyway, that is all this morning. We shall venture more today.


April 16th:

We got some rain yesterday which stopped our trip shortly. Someone got mad because of this and punched a tree bark, it was changing? That's what I thought and punched it to see if it changed, it did. Multiple times later, I got the tree bark block and was amazed. There was a hole at the tree and it didn't even fall! You can punch at almost anything and after multiple tries it will break. This is unrealistic but true, you can access some kind of mechanic in your mind which makes you create new stuff and appear in front of you, but you need the appropriate items and it was very small. I couldn't write yesterday because I didn't have time to do it.





Chapter 3:




April 17th:

After I wrote yesterday, someone made a crafting table! Obviously, it was blocky too. It was a much more extended version of the mechanic, so we all decide to use this type of "crafting" table. Someone else made a wooden sword! But it had much more damage against the monsters and animals, surprisingly it is better then the musket. But after some time using it, it disappears magically. Today we found a tropical area, we decided to go in. It was hard to get through with the tropical trees that was everywhere and the wet leaves. We saw a stealthy quick ocelot while walking, we couldn't tell if it was but i'm sure it was. After that, we found a much less dense forest area, but with a cave! Writing right now before going in.


April 19th:

We couldn't see that well inside the cave so we all got out. Found another water source near the cave. We found a big amount of coal closely inside the cave, but we needed a pickaxe. A friend of mine made a wooden pickaxe and mined it, including stone. He made a stone pickaxe; and accidentally a torch! He all gave us stone pickaxes and torches. What I found in my mind is that the leftover stone, if you place it like a square with a hole in the middle, you make a furnace! I should tell the members this but later, we are getting ready to go in so I should stop.


April 20th:

We found more ore. We combined the ore with pickaxe ingredients to create stronger pickaxes. We sure did find monsters inside the cave, but we were good enough kill them, but someone did receive damage on one of the walking skeletons. He did heal pretty fast. That's all for now.


April 21st:

On the outside, we found a rampant witch nearby. The malign look the witch gave us sure was going to give a hell of a damn time with us. She was throwing randomized potions and making us take damage. Half of us had to join together to kill that thing, but surely it was successful. On the other hand, the captain made a bed! He said he made it with wood and sheep wool from killing a sheep earlier outside. We all listened to his response and made beds too after finding some sheep and killing them. The captain is a lucky fellow, because he got some leather from killing a couple of cows and made leather armor. Of course, we made some ourselves too. Currently while i'm writing, the men are planning about the cave trip. I can see on my peripheral vision that they have different swords. We are going to sleep in there I just heard!

*another same-date entry*

Someone found diamond! The whole crew was overcome with euphoria after someone discovering multiple diamond ores. But first, We found lava! Someone found it while digging, but out of his skills, he placed a stone block to cover it so it won't spread.

I forgot to tell you that we know how the furnace works. Even though this was a while back, hurray!





Chapter 4:




April 22nd:

You can make chests to put your other items in, but I am having a suspicious feeling that someone stole something out of my chest. Also the musket doesn't work anymore, so we burned that damn thing. Nothing happened much, we got iron, a few emerald I see. All sleeping in the cave today.

*another same-date entry*

We found gold! All of us got very excited, including me. With this much gold, we sure will be rich once in the real-world. Although, two people had an altercation on which armor is stronger, iron armor or gold armor.


April 24th:

We all found some-kind of dungeon together. There was dearth of food, so we had to come out of the cave to hunt more animals down and get more water. We will go down to that same area to explore the dungeon later. I'll still keep you safe diary!


April 25th:

Awesome dungeon. I heard about dungeons in books, but this is amazing. The wondrous decor and railways makes this fascinating. The appearance incurs mystery as who built the man-made railways. It digs in more into the mystery when we found a library. The big library with a plethora of books and paintings that reflects on catharsis. Everyone has to be cautionary about the mid-way holes to look out for. Someone found something right now, I might have to stop here.





Chapter 5 (End):




*another same-date entry*

While in the dungeon, we found an odd stone brick room. A monster spawner was in-place, so we had to do something about it from making them appear consecutively. Someone placed torches around it and that worked.
We found a portal (?) A squared portal. Oddly enough, it appeared that someone (besides us all) already activated it. I guess with our courage we are all ready to go in with our diamond armor and diamond swords; including our bows with arrows. I don't know what is going to happen to us if we are to go in. Just to let you know diary, this has been an interesting interdimensional block-shaped place. I will gladly miss the mechanics in this world. Since we are going to go in soon, I must bid farewell to this journal if something happens to me or the whole crew. But if I were to die, I will die in style and heroism. May God bless upon this body of Alexander. To a new land I go!
