A Bitter Goodbye

Maaaan, I've been dreading writing this for awhile. (For a long time I wasn't even sure if I should...)

2 years ago I decided to create a comic series to tell a story within the world of Minecraft.
I remember back then I assumed I would finish it that year, or at least before I start college. Oh, how naïve I was. With college, my own personal projects, staying sane, and even struggling to breath properly, I just don't have enough time to finish pages for The Ender Sword. (As you could probably tell.)

I always said that I would finish the comic, no mater what. Soooo yeah, as you can probably tell, as of right now, I'm ending the Ender Sword. I love the comic, and I love making it. Yet, every time I get a chance to draw, I never feel like working on it. I just feel uninspired and exhausted. (And lately, I get this feeling even when not working on the page.)

I just can't try to force myself to finish them, it takes me forever and I hate the finished product. Now, I'm not saying that it's over forever. It's just over for right now. I might come back and finish it later, but I just can't do it right now.

So thank you so much. Seriously, thank you for all the awesome words, comments, and support. You are the best part of the Ender Sword, and you're the only reason I haven't quit sooner. Whenever I felt like quitting, I would think of all your awesome comments, and I would press on. Thank you so SO SO much. I love you all, you're so awesome. And I know, it sucks that after all this time, and I just end it like this. So, to try and make up for it, I'm going to explain the story, as I had it planned. Just check it out below. Thanks so much guys. <3

The Entire Story

I would warn you for spoilers, but what's the point?
Just as an FYI, things start to get more and more vague as it goes on. I hadn't fleshed out some of the chapters as much.

Chapter 1: ---

Chapter 2: ---

Chapter 3:

Steve and Edd fight against the crowd of Pig Men. One skinny Pig Man tries to attack them, and fails gloriously. Steve raises his sword to him, but he squeals (heh) for Steve to spare him. Steve does, and he reveals that his name is Swine (get it?) and for letting him go, he'll help them navigate into the Nether and find the hilt. They go into the hellish realm and navigate through the corridors of the fortress. Eventually they're caught, and taken to King Dratch, king of the pigment. He wears the hilt on his belt. Swine is beheaded for betraying them, and Steve is angry, because they became friends. They keep Steve and Edd alive so they can give them to the Ender Men. They throw them into a pit of blazes so they can't escape. They fight, and escape. (oops.) They make their way back to the King's throne, and as payback, Steve behead the King, and kicks him into the lava. (After getting the hilt.) Free from the Nether, they mourn the loss of Swine and press on.

Chapter 4:

The Eye senses that the blade is in the mountains, so they trek back the way they came to get there. Since they are going back the way they came, the stop by the village Edd is from. (I gave it a name, but I forgot and don't remember where I wrote it down at.) Edd visits Claire, and Steve sees how happy Edd is with her, and the Eye convinces Steve to leave without him. He didn't want to see Edd see the same fate as Swine, and now that he had the Eye, he no longer needed Edd. He heads to the mountains, with only the Eye to keep him company. At the base of the mountains they meet a witch, and the interaction between Steve and the witch is comedic. She tells him of a keeper of the a sacred blade who lives alone in the mountains. She sees him come down from time to time, and she has a thing for the keeper.

They trek up the mountain and eventually find the keeper. He's nice old man at first, but then when Steve tells him he's looking for the blade, the keeper freaks out and tries to kill Steve. Steve fights back, but spares the old man. The keeper acts as if he will give the blade, and eventually traps Steve in some sort of jail or something. Steve pleads at the old man for him to give him the blade, and eventually he mentions Claire some how. The old man is shocked, and starts to cry. He frees Steve and explains that he is Claire's grandfather, and he discovered just how powerful the Ender Sword is, so he agreed to the Ender Man that he would watch over 1/3 of the sword, to protect it. He could never reveal himself to anyone because people might realize that he did find the secrets of the sword, and that he still has the blade. He gives Steve the blade, because he spared him before, so he now trusts him and believes he will use the sword for good.

Now that Steve has all the pieces, the keep explains that in order to seal the power into the blade, Lightning must strike the blade. Luckily, a storm starts to roll in and Steve travels even farther up the mountain to it's top to reach the lightning. Original, he was going to leave the blade over night, and let it get hit by itself, but worse comes to worse and he has to hold the blade up, as lightning hits. This seals it's power. The Eye can still talk, but now he's much quieter. He realize that Steve is the hero the world needs, and now has respect for him.

Chapter 5:

He travels back to Edd's village, to tell Claire that her grandfather is still alive. (as requested by the grandfather.) He meets back with Edd, explains why he left him, and that how the his experience with the keeper taught him that he can't just go it alone. Edd forgives Steve, but only if he can continue to travel with Steve. He agrees, as they are best friends. Edd explains that they just need to make it to the portal now. The portal is a landmark, and the capital of the country world was built around it. They travel to this city. It's a huge and impressive city.

They get there and there the new leader of this city is hated by most of the public. He had paid his way into it, and he's wants to tax people more, and other evil stuff. He has a creepy side-kick dude. (He's like the vice-president.) I want to export a political story here, but still keep it simple and easy to understand. I haven't worked out the specifics.

Near the end of the chapter, the creepy vice president dude reveals to Steve and Edd (who are trying to stop him) that he is working for the Ender men, the new leader is being brainwashed by him. He is totally fine with the world being taken over by the Nether creatures and the Ender men, because he was promised riches and to be the leader of the world. Eventually Edd and Steve get passed him, and Ender men end up killing the creepy dude for letting them through. Edd and Steve go down into the ground and find the portal to the End. They both jump in, firmly grasping their weapons.

Chapter 6:

The End. An epic fight between the ender dragon and the heroes takes place. It's pretty awesome. Also, the dragon talks, and mocks them. They talk while they fight. I wanted to make the dragon likable as a villain.

They end up defeating her, she explodes, and everything goes to white.

The next page would be all white with text. It would be Steve explaining that him and Edd woke up back home, and that they haven't seen Ender men since. He explains how the world is at peace, and he goes through all the characters they met along the way, and what they ended up doing. (Images of what he's talking about would appear here) He talks about how he still wields the ender sword, and he uses it to protect the world from evil. The last line: "I don't care where I came from... because I am the hero of this world."

At the end, It shows a few panels of the End dimension, destroyed and decayed. It shows a small cave hidden in the wreckage. It goes down the cave and reveals a Dragon Egg.

"The End...?"

And that's it! I really am happy with the story, and even now it makes me want to go and finish the comic, but I know I can't do it. Not now anyway. Some other things I want to explore in the comic, that I haven't fleshed out at this point:

- How Steve is different then all the Villagers. He doesn't have a small nose, and a smaller head. This brings context to the last line. We never figure out where Steve comes from or what he is.

-I wanted to have a deeper plot for the Ender men. Some are bad, and others feel as if the whole "taking over the world" is a bad idea. You can see this a bit at then end with the Ender men brothers, but I wanted to go deeper into it than that.


Steve starts a quest to find the legendary sword, the Ender Sword...

1 Year Anniversary and I am so Sorry
undefined

It's crazy to think that a year ago when I started, I thought I'd be finished with it, yet we're not even half way! I also didn't think anyone but family would read it, and it amazes me how many people actually read something that I made!

I know it's something I say all the time, but thank you. So. Freaking. Much. When ever I'm feeling bad, or having a crappy day, I always think about you guys and what you say. It always makes me smile, and instantly turns my day around. (And lately I've really needed it.) I actually have a cardboard sheet that I tape comments and things people have said, so I can always look at it when I need to feel good. Even if you don't comment, the fact that you read it is honoring to me.
Thank you.

Now I know what you're thinking, "Why hasn't there been an update in over a month!!" (Wait, has it really been a month?... Crap I'm terrible.) Yes, I know the comic hasn't been update in a very long while. No, I have no stopped working on it. Yes, I have been working on the new page whenever I can. You see, some stuff in life happened, I got really behind in School. Like, really behind. My life kinda became dedicated to school, working 7 days, so I could catch up before the holidays. And you know, not flunk.

I didn't get much free time to work on TES, and when I did, I felt so tired, drained, stressed, and hated any work I did on it. It's been better lately, but I've still got a lot to do. I get so frusterated and upset at times because of how little time I had to make the stuff I love. I'm increadible sorry, and trust me, I want to get back to working on the pages daily again. Have an apologetic fox:
undefined
So what have I been doing in the mean time? Well, not that much really. When I got time I played a lot of Hyrule Warriors. Of course, Super Smash Bros for Wii U came out a while ago, and being the die-hard smash fan I am, I've been playing it like crazy.

No, I did not start another comic based on Five Nights at Freddy's 2, what are you talking about, why would I do that?
undefined

Again, I am incredibly sorry. But very thankful and blessed. Thank you.

I am also very sorry for any typos and grammar mishaps in this post. Don't blame me, it's 1:30 here. I hope you enjoy what is to come for the Ender Sword, a lot happens in this next chapter. I know I say it a lot but, thank you!!

I like to punish myself, so I don't allow to check my PMC until I finish a page. Becuase of college, and other reasons, I don't finish one for months? So I don't check for months, heh. 
Can you beat your record of 19 days this time?
