Where the Forest Ends (CYOA altered)
Neil scowled, then shouted, “It's OK, those endermen won't catch up to our cavalry!” Erebus chuckled, then shouted, "Or will we?" Erebus flicked his wrist. In an instant, enderman teleported as fast as they could next to the cavalry, obliterating some in an instant. Neil had no choice. He could not sit there and watch poor helpless NPCs got destroyed, so to make all the endermen come after him, stared right into Erebus’s eyes. The lanky enderman started to shake, and he screeched. All the endermen looked at him, then turned towards their enemies. They also shook, and suddenly, they were coming towards Neil. Suddenly, hundreds of arrows from the walls of the village rained down on the endermen, making them teleport away to random locations. Erebus teleported to the back of his army, glaring at Neil.
Neil smiled at Erebus. “I always knew you were a coward. It was just as Gameknight999 said you are.” Erebus screeched, making many defenders drop their bows and cover their ears, but not Neil. Erebus, out of rage, teleported to Neil, and slammed his fists into him over and over again. Neil, seeing this attack coming, had drawn his sword and slashed at the enderman’s head. After both had done some damage, Erebus teleported away, and decided to watch the rest of the battle from afar. The giant spider charged towards the wall, knocking a chunk out of it with his giant tree trunk legs.
“Focus your firing on the spider’s eyes, archers!” Neil shouted. The spider growled as hundreds of arrows hit his huge face.
The spider winced in pain. Neil ran to the wall the spider’s leg was still in, jumped on, and climbed to the spider’s head. As he climbed, Neil grabbed the stones on the spiders long wooden legs for purchase, trying to hold on with all his might. He reached the spider's head, and the spider chuckled when Neil pulled out his sword. “Ha! Your sword won’t do anything to me!” The spider chuckled. Neil thought for a second, then took out a shovel and started digging the spider’s head away. The spider suddenly showed a look of fear, and tried to buck Neil off.
“Oh, no you don’t!” Neil shouted, as he placed down a fence, and then tied a lead around the pole and his waist so he wouldn’t fall off. When he reached the spider’s skin, he took out his enchanted sword and stuck the sword in the spider’s head. The spider screeched in pain, and bucked Neil off. The spider kept taking damage, and then disappeared with a pop, leaving behind several huge spheres of XP and the sword, which he plucked off the ground with a smug look on his blocky face.
The smug look quickly turned it into a frown, for Erebus was standing on a hilltop, watching him. Then, everything in the world froze for one single second, the deadly battle looking odd. Then, it unfroze, and Neil fell to the ground for some reason. He slowly lifted himself off the ground, then looked towards Erebus. Neil and Erebus then locked eyes, and he saw Erebus smiling for some odd reason. Why are you smiling? He thought. Erebus started laughing, and raised his arm, and as if he were the puppet master himself, four more giant spiders emerged from the trees.
Neil, this time, was smiling. Erebus knew that Neil had another trick up his sleeves, but before he could react or send any more troops to battle, Neil shouted, “Activate redstone one!” The air was suddenly filled with a sizzling sound and then another, and another. It was like a huge pot of water was boiling. Without warning, a huge explosion, likely from tons of TNT packed into the soil, tore the spiders apart, reducing their numbers dramatically, while at the same time annihilating the giant spiders instantly. Erebus this time, scowled at Neil, but then he suddenly had a sly grin on his face. It slowly turned to a huge smile, as if he were a kid in a candy store. He started to chuckle, then laugh a maniacal evil laugh. Suddenly, he opened a portal. But this was no ordinary nether portal with the purple teleportation field of a regular portal to the nether, or the portal particles that seemed to dance around endermen. It was the color of red, dark red, but not quite as dark as blood. It looked brighter than Erebus’s crimson skin. Ruby, Neil thought as he pondered what this portal could be. It looked like a color he recognised, like it was a distant dream he had just forgotten, but with teleportation particles of light red, almost the color of a bright vibrant red juicy apple. He recognised the colors, but he couldn’t quite grasp the thought. He would have to see what it is later, because right now he was in the heat of battle.
Just as he went to fit an arrow into his bowstring, he suddenly teleported next to the portal. He didn’t know what just happened, he just appeared there instantly for no reason. He yelled up to Hunter, and she saw him, nodding her head, then fit an arrow into her own bow. He decided that the warriors would have to fight on their own, because something else was nagging at him deep inside himself. He felt like he needed to go through this portal, as if his life depended on it. The last thing he thought before he disappeared into the ruby shaded portal, was that this portal would lead him someplace that he would likely never forget.

As Gameknight looked over the battle from a tall tree in the forest, he watched as Neil stepped into the portal. He wished that he could help all of the warriors fighting for their lives, but he couldn’t. Neil, Shawny, and himself had devised the plan. He couldn’t come out of hiding, not yet. They had to get this timing perfect, otherwise the whole of Minecraftia would be destroyed.
As he held the feisty animal by the leash, he started to loose the grip on the lead. He wrapped the sturdy rope around his wrist, not letting the animal escape. This was no ordinary animal, however. This was Herobrine.
Gameknight and his friends had captured Herobrine in a pig body, after the last greatest battle for minecraft ever. They had been victorious, but somehow, Erebus was still alive. As Gameknight pondered how he could still be alive, he reached for something he remembered he still had: Erebus’s ender pearl. He tried to grab it, but it seemed to be missing. Then he remembered: He’d used the pearl to teleport once, but he did not take damage when he teleported. Instead, he had felt pure anger and hate radiate from his body for a mere instant; the incident still chilled him to the bone.
Erebus’s pearl must have been filled with so much hatred and anger, that instead of taking damage when he teleported, he felt his emotions. Whenever he brought back the memory, he seemed to have a vile hatred build up inside of him for a brief few seconds.
Shaking his head of the memory, he focused on the now. Looking across the battlefield now, he saw that the village was victorious. But he also saw piles of items on the ground; remnants of both attackers and defenders. Careful as to not be seen, he climbed down from the tree with the bright eyed pig, he raised his hand up into the air, making a fist and clenching it with all his might. This was the salute for the dead in both zombie and NPC cultures, a way to honor those who fought for their lives, but never saw what their effect had on the world, for they perished in battle.
“I hope you’ll be ready, guys.” He said as he walked off into the forest, the disobedient pig at his heels.
He woke up to the smell of fresh salt water; something that wasn’t in minecraft. He instantly sat up, looking around. Neil realized he was on some sort of wooden boat filled with cargo, marked with various labels: eye patches, lobster, gunpowder, iron, wood… It was also very musty smelling down in the cargo hatch, and he was also disliking the fact that he was cramped in between several boxes.
He looked down at his arms, but to his surprise, they were not blocky like minecraft. Instead, it looked as if he were in the regular world, but something still feeling different from the physical world. He saw a set of stairs, and decided to head up those. Before he reached the top, he heard voices. Instinctively, he ducked back into the cargo hold.
“We will be at Whitecrest by tomorrow… a few pirates were spotted… dangerous territory we’re in, captain…” He couldn't make out most of the conversation, and it was likely important information.
Neil smiled at Erebus. “I always knew you were a coward. It was just as Gameknight999 said you are.” Erebus screeched, making many defenders drop their bows and cover their ears, but not Neil.
