This is my entry for the To The Stars Contest.
(from contest details)
"Little did Steve imagine that swinging his stone pickaxe at this particular end of his mine would make him discover one of the wonders of our world. An incredibly huge cavern, filled with gigantic statues, cathedrals, and dazzling architecture; surely he had knocked himself out, and this breathtaking scenery was all a dream! After one or two resounding meetings between his head and his shovel, Steve had to admit the truth: he was awake, and this breathtaking scenery was real.
His hopes and dreams now restored, our hero rushed to explore every last bit of the cave, eager to uncover all the wonders it contained. Months later, his previous hardships forgotten and his wealth restored thanks to his new underground touristic attraction, one question lingered in Steve's mind... Some of the statues in the cave depicted winged beings in an angel-like posture. Surely, those beings were the creators of this amazing cave.
Curiosity being Steve's most dominant quality, he started dreaming about meeting the Winged Ones, face to face, and learning who they were, and how they created this architecture. After untold weeks of fruitless investigations, the conclusion was irrefutable:
"These people, these creatures... They did not come from our world!"
Never one to be deterred by impossible endeavors, Steve whipped up his trusty drawing board, and started thinking about ways to break the sky limit, and reach the stars themselves, looking for the mysterious builders of the dreamlike cavern, and any other wonders the universe has to offer."
After a few months figuring out the complexities of space travel Steve finally had an idea that could work, after a year he finally created the technology that would allow him to break the sky limit and reach the stars. Recruiting many fellow minecraftians he set about building his space ships which he called The Xanthus. When it was built and all of thepreparationswere complete Steve looked up at what he had created and at the stars wondering if he would ever find the Winged Ones and if he did, where would they be? With so manyuncertaintieshe could not help but feel nervous. Looking back he stood still for a minute wondering if he would ever see his home again, then his curiosity took over once again and, with a sigh he set of, to explore the stars.

Additional Notes
Not quite complete yet. I might also do a few other small things to it (like make a small model of his home on earth) but other than that (and a video when it is 100% complete) it is done. Hope you like it and if you do please leave me a diamond and subscribe for more :)Texture pack used: Pamplemousse by MrFruitTree
