Mac the Tnt Engineer

Mac had been a blacksmith his whole life, in fact, some say that he was born with a hammer in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other. He had started as a young boy, apprenticing in a local blacksmith shop and by the age of ten, he could make a sword just as well as any master of the trade. In fact, he did this so well that not even diamond smithing was a challenge for him. Therefore, he began trying to craft weaponry and armor out of things that were outside of smithing tradition, such as obsidian, emeralds and even redstone dust at one point. This news eventually reached the Grand Council of Blacksmiths. This was appalling to them. o This child is a threat to our council itselfo they said, o he must be brought to justice.o So Mac, at the measly age of 16 was summoned to a grand tribunal of the Grand Council of Blacksmiths to be tried for blasphemy of the old crafting ways. For this he was sentenced to ten years in prison. Sometime around the first sixth months of his sentence, he got a visitor. He was a man that Mac had never met and he was cloaked completely in dark robes. This man said nothing, he only gave Mac a strange red block. Mac secretly kept this red block for nearly a year. It was his only source of release, constantly analyzing it in the wee hours of the night. Mac eventually named it Trinitrotoluene, TNT for short. Mac also concluded that it was made of gunpowder and sand and was therefore highly explosive if exposed to an electric charge. So for the next few weeks, Mac carved a button out of the stone walls of his cell with a simple spoon. Finally, on a stormy night, it was ready. Mac waited until a deafening thunder strike boomed above and then detonated his explosives. Not knowing how large the explosion would be, Mac stuffed himself into a corner, covering himself as well as he could, but it wasno t enough. Disoriented, ears ringing, the smell of burning flesh entering his nose, Mac stumbled out of the prison. As soon as he walked a few feet into the underbrush, he blacked out. When in the morning, he awoke to the sounds of a witch franticly fighting a zombie. As the zombie fell the witch, it started stumbling towards Mac. Terrified he moved away as fast as he could. Luckily he got into the light just in time where the zombie burned. After his adrenaline went down, he once again felt the pain of his severely burnt face. The TNT idea had blown up in his face, literally. He slowly crawled back to the witcho s corpse where h found a healing potion. Feeling the liquid quench his burns, he continued to move away from the prison and never looked back. Later on, Mac crafted himself a mask to cover the scars that the explosion had left marring his face. So on he went with his new knowledge of TNT, hoping to someday be able to fight back against the hypocrisy of the Grand Council.
