“What is this? A bedroom? Does it belong to the person who lives here?”
“Unsure. Looks more like a guest room,” Herobrine went, “Probably why it has a staircase to a drainage room.”
Steve went over to the bed side table. There was a candle glowing here, as well as a book that he didn’t recognize. Most of these things he hadn’t seen in the game before.
“Do you think the person created these things with their new powers? I haven’t seen these things.”
“Probably. They must be using their powers to make the palace larger and fill it up with items they have crafted out of thin air.”
“Dangerous. This much power, this quickly…How did they learn how to control it so fast?” Steve wondered aloud.
“No idea. But we have to hurry. If they can do this already, they can most likely sense wherever we are. I don’t feel like dealing with more enemies.”
Steve agreed. They slipped out of the guest room and hurried down the hallway. He couldn’t shake the idea that the person who was doing this was just watching them run around this palace in the Oasis, amused at how they were trying to piece everything together. There was something else as well – an idea that he had been having in the back of his head this entire time.
The more Steve thought about everything that had happened and that was unfolding, the more he was starting to think he had figured it out. There was just one nagging detail…
The hallway was lined with windows. From this direction, Steve could see the gardens of the palace. They stretched out as far as he could see, a lush garden in the middle of nowhere. Something about this made him stop in his tracks.
“Wait.”
“What is it?” Herobrine asked, stopping as well.
“I don’t think we were at the Oasis earlier.”
“What?” He repeated, “Why do you say that?”
“I mean; we were at an oasis. But it wasn’t the right one. This is.”
Steve pointed across the gardens to a giant pond. From here, he could faintly see the energy humming around the pool, crackling like lightning and shining in the setting sun. Herobrine fell silent, surprised.
“We were at a smaller energy source. Whoever sensed us cut us off from taking it back. They weren’t waiting to be connected. Someone has been here for months, sucking off the power in the Oasis and using it to fuel their own power. We got this all wrong.”
“You know who is behind it?” Herobrine asked him curiously.
Steve nodded and turned to look at his friend.
“It’s Scarlet Hero. He’s come back.”
About the Author
Mark Mulle is a passionate Minecraft gamer who writes game guides, short stories, and novels about the Minecraft universe. He has been exploring, building, and fighting in the game ever since its launch, and he often uses in-game experiences for inspiration on creating the best fiction for fellow fans of the game. He works as a professional writer and splits his time between gaming, reading, and storytelling, three hobbies and lifelong passions that he attributes to a love of roleplaying, a pursuit of challenging new perspectives, and a visceral enjoyment the vast worlds that imagination has to offer. His favorite thing to do, after a long day of creating worlds both on and off the online gaming community, is to relax with his dog, Herobrine, and to unwind with a good book. His favorite authors include Stephen King, Richard A. Knaak, George R. R. Martin, and R. A. Salvatore, whose fantasy works he grew up reading or is currently reading. Just like in Minecraft, Mark always strives to level up, so to speak, so that he can improve his skills and continue to surprise his audience. He prefers to play massive multiplayer online games but often spends time in those games fighting monsters one on one and going solo against the toughest mobs and bosses he can manage to topple. In every game, his signature character build is a male who focuses mostly on crafting weapons and enchanting, and in every battle, he always brings a one hander sword and a shield with as much magical attributes as he can pour into them. Because he always plays alone, he likes to use his game guides to share all the secrets and knowledge he gains, and who know—he may have snuck some information into his fiction as well. Keep an eye out for his next book!
