              Steve and Herobrine fought back and forth around the chamber. Herobrine knocked Steve back and raised his arms. There was a hissing noise and the ground caught fire at Herobrine’s feet.

              Steve stepped back and saw Pigphelas take a running leap at Herobrine, who teleported away again. The ground at Herobrine’s new location also caught fire. Steve ran at Herobrine, his leggings protecting him from the heat. Pigphelas also charged forward, looking determined.

              Just as Steve swung his sword, though, Herobrine teleported back to the first fire. Pigphelas turned around, confused. Pigphelas

snorted and began a new charge, but Steve realized that they would never catch Herobrine by just charging at him. As Pigphelas built up speed for another running leap at Herobrine, Steve ran towards the second fire and jumped just as Pigphelas did. Herobrine teleported away from Pigphelas’s charge and appeared at the second fire to see Steve flying through the air at him. Steve swung his sword down as he landed on Herobrine. Herobrine fell to the ground, and with a sizzling noise, disappeared into nothing.

As soon as Steve turned around to head back to the village in triumph, he heard a faint voice say something. It sounded just like the voice he first heard while building his house a few days before. This voice was different though, it was not saying his name like the first time he heard Herobrine. This time the gravelly voice said "...Thaaankk...Youuuu..."

Steve slowly turned around. He was afraid Herobine was still there behind him ready to continue the fight, but he was also confused and curious as to why the Herobrine would thank him. When Steve had turned all the way around he was surprised to see there was nothing there. "This place is giving me the spooks, we should probably head back to the village," he said to his trusty pig friend. Pigphelas went to snort in agreement with Steve when he was shockingly interrupted by row of flames that sprung up on the cave wall to reveal an eary picture....

It was he, Herobrine building his first house, a nice quiet little abode in a forest. Herobrine was happy building his home in a new land. Once he finished he made a little farm and stable where he kept his trusty friend, MooMoo the dairy cow.

Steve was amazed at what he was looking at. Seeing Herobine as a player such as he really made Steve curious to find out what happened to him. He could tell from the pictures on the cave wall that Herobine and MooMoo were happy together in their beautiful house. “What could have possibly happened? Will the same thing happen to us?” Steve asked himself these questions as the pictures on the wall once again began to change.

This time Herobrine was digging a two by two mine into the side of a mountain near his house. As he was digging he stumbled upon a mysterious archway deep inside and under the mountain; it was a portal with a dark purple boarder and a glowing purple center. Though he could not hear anything from the pictures, Steve could see Herobine asking himself where the portal went, what kind of things could be on the other side. Slowly Herobrine began to walk towards the portal. When he made it to the portal he stood there for a few seconds and then vanished! Steve imagined being in Herobrines’ shoes and decided that he would have done the exact same thing as Herobine.

The pictures once again changed and Steve now saw Herobrine standing in a new world that he had never seen before. The same portal was in this new world but everything else was different! There were terrible things, strange Zombies with golden swords, fire spitting monsters, huge white creatures flying around the sky as large as a house and lava everywhere Steve looked!

              Steve could hardly imagine what Herobine was thinking and feeling in this new world. He himself would be terrified, frozen in fear! Steve knew how dangerous lava was and could not believe that Herobrine was still brave enough to explore in this new world that was full of it.

Steve watched as Herobrine began to travel deeper and deeper into this new place. The red rocks seemed to attract Herobine making him only the more curious. As he climbed mountains made of the rock he found many more new peculiarities that peaked his interest. There were waterfalls and streams of lava, more red rocks that were more durable and the ground seemed to be on fire all around him.

The odd new Zombie men of this place seemed to leave Herobrine alone so long as he left them alone also. While watching Herobine become familiarized with this new place, Steve found himself becoming less afraid of it. He started to become curious about this new place, daydreaming about what mysteries it may be hiding. After a few minutes of this daydreaming though Steve instantly became weary again remembering the monster he just fought; it was not the Herobine he was seeing before him now.

The pictures on the wall now changed yet again to show a new scene. This time it was Herobine in front of a dangling clump of light blocks that Steve had never seen before. Herobrine was mining the block, which broke easily for him with his stone pickaxe, and stored it in his inventory. Steve was amazed by the new block and wished that he could find a way to this new place to get some of them for himself. He already had ideas forming in his head of what he would do when he obtained this new block.

Steve then realized that one of the huge what cloud creatures was now behind Herobrine. “Watch out!” Steve yelled forgetting he was only watching pictures of events that had already happened. The creature spit out a fireball directly at the back of Herobrines’ head. Even if Herobine was able to hear Steve’s last minute “Duck,” it still would have been too late. The fireball hit Herobrine head on throwing him into the wall directly in front of him.

Herobrine hit the wall with a great impact. The pictures quickly went black until they reappeared a few moments later showing Herobrine waking up after being knocked out by the blow. All of his armor was missing, his inventory empty and feet on fire. Steve could see Herobrine confused by the events that had taken place. Herobrine stood up and went to walk back to the portal that he had come through into this new strange world. He had had enough of it and decided it was time to leave. When Herobrine went to step forward though he instantly teleported. He already made it back to the portal in a matter of seconds, now even more confused than when he woke up a few moments earlier.

When Herobrine had made in through the portal the pictures began to speed up. They went so fast, in fact, that Steve could barely understand the events being shown to him. He saw Herobrine returning home only to set his whole house on fire, him trying to talk to the villagers to find out if anyone could help him and many other trials that Herobrine went through returning to his home world.

Steve was shown the slow deterioration of Herobrines’ sanity. He started removing the leaves on trees and building two by two tunnels wherever he went. The fire on the wall suddenly vanished into thin air and Steve was left there in the cave with Pigphelas. Steve had no clue what to think, in all honestly the pictures left him with more questions than answers. Deciding that it was time for them to go home him and Pigphelas dug a hole to the surface and made their way back to the village to tell them what they had seen.

The villagers were also very confused like Steve. It seemed that even in death Herobrine was still hiding something from everyone. Steve and Pigphelas were tired and dirty, but full of the joy of victory. The villagers threw a party, and one of them even gave Steve an emerald without expecting anything in return. It was a great day, but Steve knew there was one more thing he needed— to have a home.

Steve went out with Pigphelas the next day and found a good spot to build a new house. It was a short walk away from the village and there was space for a stable for Pigphelas and an even bigger garden than before.

As Steve began work on the new house, he sighed and looked around happily. The world was free of Herobrine, and everything was as it should be. Steve was building something new without needing to be afraid, and if that’s not a happy ending, Steve didn’t know what was…
