My first story ever, I hope you like it! I will probably also upload the first part of chapter one tomorrow.

If my grammar is bad, sorry, I am not English.

Prologue


Steve awoke, having a bad headache. He opened his eyes, and closed them immediatly, because the light made his headache even worse. He didno t remember anything of what happened at first, but as the headache slowly vanished, he was able to think clear again and his memory slowly returned.





At first, it had been a day like every other: Steve had been in his shop till the evening, and after he had his dinner, he had watch duty at the gate of the town. It was a small town named Jebshire, in honour of the demigod Jeb. The vilage only had a small wooden pallisade wall to keep predators away from the animals, and to prevent raiders from attacking the village from all sides at once. While Steve made his way to the watchtower that was placed next to the gate, the previous watchman already climbed out of the tower. He had said that he had seen some humans in the hills, probably some raiders waiting for their moment, and Steve held his eyes on the hills and their surrounding for the next hours. Then he saw them coming out of an abandoned house that was near the hills. He had rang the alarm, and at the time the raiders reached the village, everyone was armed in leather armor with various weapons, from the butchero s knives to a wooden staff, used by the elder men. The battle begon. The raiders only used wooden cubs, which made them slow in combat, while the villagers could just run around trying to stab the raiders everywhere they could. The raiders soon discovered that the villagers were experienced fighter, because of all the previous raids, and ran away, carrying their wounded brethren with them. The women came out of the houses with bandages, and began caring for the wounded one of which was Steve, who was hit on his head by the leader of the raiders. Some men were going to the gate to see if the raiders were truly leaving or just regrouping for a more organised attack. Then, suddenly, an explosion sounded from the gate. Men screamed in agony.








Steve took his weapon, an iron sword he made himself when in the lessons he got from the smith, and then he ran to the gate. There was a giant hole in the wall, and on the ground around it he could see wounded men. He had seen a group of human-like beings unlike anything he had ever seen before. They were totally green, and had no arms and four legs. When one of the men came from the watchtower to attack on of the creepy monsters, the green thing hissed, and suddenly there was an explosion where the thing had stood. The man was thrown against a wall by the blow.


o By the name of Notch! Creepers!o one of the elders said. The so-called creepers were swarming into the village, exploding as soon as someone came near. Houses were set on fire because of the heat the explosions spread, and frighted children were running around everywhere. Then a creeper blew up near Steve, he was thrown agains the stone bricks of the towno s chapel, his head hit the stones and everything blacked out...

it's a good start. I think you should add some more detail and dialogue. also try not to be too wordy with it, but other than that it's a nice start. with some improvements it could be really good :)

After I published it, and read it again, I suddenly saw that it actually REALLY failed. Instead of making new parts of this story, I think I am going to make a HUGE story surrounding http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/the-seat-of-magic/ . There, I can make a story with LOTS of fantasy-based parts in it, and I am not limited by Minecraft. Also, the story I have there is already a LOT better then this one, even though I had to expain so much about my idea of magic in such a small story. I hope to have a story about that world published soon.

I already have a small story in the description of that project, so maybe you can already see what it will be like. Kagdan will probably be the most important person in my story. For now, I must finish the Seat of Magic itself, so it will take some time before I can begin on the story.

alright. it really doesnt matter how long it takes to actually write it though. you just need to take your time and really think about it. so no hurry :)

by that giant backstory you put on the seat of magic, im sure you have it pretty well thought out at the moment. :P
