"To write a story, if only it was possible to put all that has happened into pen and paper; although it has taken some time for a working pen to be found. The world has become twisted, to think that I would find such a simple piece of technology special, a pen to say the least, but I can't dwell on the past, anyway where was I, oh yes, the great awakening..."

"After reading all that, you are probably wondering who I am, or, much who I was, I once had a name, it was one that my parents bestowed upon me when I was born, not much of a surprise really, it was simple, yet held great meaning to myself I should probably get to the point, you must really be eager to find out the identity of this amazing, handsome, heroic and just down right hip author, well, it's Steve, told you it was basic, thought I'd clear that up before you hear the true story"

"There was once a time when people lived together in big groups, families, some small, some larger, mine was one of an interesting amount of people, 12 children, those being of 7 females and 5 males and one parent, this sound a little odd to you? well, it makes sense when you consider that I was once an orphan, without parents, I grew up in a small building which had little space to move around in, but that was life. it was tough for a little person such as myself, children can be so special, yet the world doesn't see just how much they matter, take Arnold, he shared a bunk with me, was a bit of a strange lad, but we got along. Arnold saw the world as it truly was, he believed that if you took to it head on, you can make a name for yourself, sadly he lost his life shortly after growing up, on his 19th birthday, he was hit by a cart, the horse that carried it was a very powerful bread, he stood no chance of survival. I generally don't wish to talk about him, we were close friends. Now, how about a bit of a better subject, you're probably wondering, did Steve live happily? well In fact I did, One of the girls that I lived with in the orphanage was named Rose, she was beautiful and very smart. I fell in love with her, turned out she felt the same way about me, I was married to her for many years, 8 to be exact, it was a good life, sadly we had no children, she was unable to. I miss her very much. It's time I tell you about the Great Awakening, sounds pretty cool doesn't it? well it's not. With war threatening the world, kingdoms always joining in battles, families being broken apart. Couldn't get any worse, then it happened. A darkness fell over the land, the earth started to come alive under our feet and thunder, oh the thunder, it was like the gods were fighting among themselves. I remember that day well, the day that eye appeared in the sky, it was like it could see right into my soul, luckily I managed to ignore its whispers, the sound of it was like being surrounded in ice, a horrible feeling, but that wasn't all, people started to scream, the animals all ran, they seemed to know what was going on. It wasn't till the next day that I truly knew what was happening. All the darkness and corruption that ran through the world has become one, everyone seemed to just fall, dead, the eye had a great darkness to it... I fell myself, my eyes went dark, and then I was out."

"I awoke to the sound of, well, you wouldn't believe me, a pig.. it was the strangest thing, but I couldn't lie to you, after all this is what happened to me, it is very important that you read and understand all the I have to say, in order to save the future from the darkness."

"Anyway, I opened my eyes, the sunlight was shining, upon adjusting to my surroundings, I felt stick. The world looked different, life seemed to be nowhere, well unless you count the pig that was for some reason in a tree, it was the weirdest thing I swear, anyway, I could not see any signs of humanity, it was like Adam and Eve all over again, but with only Adam. I searched far and wide and could not find anything, the world seemed endless, especially the oceans, I felt like giving up on myself, but this voice kept speaking to me the whole time, it didn't seem to be my own mind, it was like someone was inside my head, maybe it was a side effect of that corrupted, dark eye. Who knows, well, you'll find out eventually.."

"Life was tough for the next couple of months, I took all that I had learned through a few courses that I learnt in the saw mill in my village. I managed to build a home to stay in, it wasn't much, but it was the first. The first is always important. Over time, reality of before the awakening seemed to fade, the was my life, I was reborn. For a reason, there could be no other possible way that I am the only one left on this world, this, could it be a realm? I don't know, even know my memory fades, blurs, the voice, it comes to me, louder and louder, darkness seems to appear around it."

"The time has come for me to bring this to an end, before the voice takes full control, I've had visions in my sleep, ones of me peering into a glass mirror, but my reflection is off, my eyes glow a strange color, complete white, a darkness surrounds my reflection, it seems to move on its own. I must go now, this note will give you closure, explain what has happened, I only hope that the world will repair itself and that humanity can live on. There is a manual attached to this parchment, it will provide you with all the recipes that you will need in order to survive the future, use it well, and I beg of you, do not, I repeat, do not follow the glow, I can not stop what will happen if you do, there is no more future for me, I won't be joining Rose or Arnold in the beyond, my place is here, the Enderman of this land have spoken to me, they say that it is time for a new ruler, of darkness....."

*Upon examining the survival guide attached, you notice that there is a page missing, only the title remains, but it is teared,
