Today we have two listener 4 00:00:22,190 --> 00:00:25,510 stories, the first one by Chase, the second by Sebastian. 5 00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:28,950 These stories were submitted through my website. 6 00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:32,350 If you did not know my website isminecraftshortstories.com 7 00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:35,190 there is a link inside the description or you can just type 8 00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:37,230 it in my graph.

So we check out the site once in 14 00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:54,990 a while. There could be something new 15 00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:57,070 there. I know this has taken this 16 00:00:57,070 --> 00:00:59,350 intro's being long, but while you're down there, there is 17 00:00:59,390 --> 00:01:01,680 YouTube. I do have a YouTube channel. 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,400 If we reach 1000 subscribers, I'll do a three-way collab. 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,640 So that's us inside the description. 20 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,040 Consider subscribing. It would help me out a ton. 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,040 But anyway, let's get right into these stories. 22 00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:22,170 Thank you to Chase for submitting the story. 23 00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,130 We all know about the warden, a mom that gets super angry at 24 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:29,770 sounds, but why does it? Also, why does the warden get 25 00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:32,930 angry if it smells you? Well, it all started a long time 26 00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:34,850 ago when there was peace in the entire land. 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,240 The Ender dragon and Enderman provided chorus fruit to the 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,360 other world. The zombie skeletons and 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,080 creepers would contribute precious gems, the villagers 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,120 would contribute wood and other food like carrots and wheat, and 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160 the underground villages would help build structures and their 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000 bastions provide the best tools foraged in all the land, and the 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840 fortresses would store any extra material in their chests. 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280 Nothing could ever live more harmoniously, but there's a 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,120 beast that would rise eerily in the underground villages. 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,160 But the villagers found a way to live happily with the Beast. 37 00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:07,860 They would throw a yearly festival for the Beast with 38 00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:10,460 sweet food and music. The most important part of it 39 00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:12,980 was music. At the end of every festival, 40 00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:15,820 they'd play a farewell song for the Beast with a bamboo flute. 41 00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:18,020 It was the Beast's favorite thing to listen to. 42 00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:21,460 Now let's get to the part where all started to go wrong. 43 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,540 The chief of the underground village had gone to the Bastian 44 00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:26,820 forge to upgrade its interior for the piglins. 45 00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:29,900 The chief's child was being trained to play the flute. 46 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,790 Since the chief was getting very old, the young boy was 47 00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:35,470 struggling with this fabulous instrument, always playing the 48 00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:36,950 wrong note or stuttering too much. 49 00:02:37,790 --> 00:02:40,590 With the event perching fast the above ground, villagers prepared 50 00:02:40,590 --> 00:02:42,950 their gourmet specialties. While the underground village 51 00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:46,150 set up the party, The chief came back from the nether, ready to 52 00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:48,830 play the flute one last time for the beast before handing over 53 00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:52,110 the responsibility to his son. The young master had begun to 54 00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:54,750 master the flute, playing it more smoothly than ever. 55 00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,950 The sun was rising for the day of the festival and they heard 56 00:02:57,950 --> 00:02:59,870 the noise. They were familiar with a 57 00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:03,460 digging noise from the ground Chapter 2, the party. 58 00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:06,100 Everyone cheered and the townspeople showed the beast 59 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,460 around the place, since at this time it could still see it liked 60 00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:12,020 this year more than last year and more guests had arrived like 61 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:14,540 the piglins, blazes, wither skeletons and zombie pigmen 62 00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:16,980 popped out of the portal they constructed at the north of the 63 00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:18,860 city. From the caves linked to the 64 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:21,500 city appeared their zombies, skeletons and creepers. 65 00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:24,780 From the South side appeared the above ground villagers in the 66 00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:28,420 shortcuts designed by the city and from the West and E Swoosh 67 00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:30,180 the Dragon and German and Shulkers. 68 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,640 This was the biggest party they had ever hosted. 69 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,360 Everyone shouted, ate food and the children played with the 70 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,480 warden. All went well and it was time 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,440 for the farewell song. This was the chief's final song 72 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,720 and she was going to be able to play. 73 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,120 All went well until the chief started to cough and then she 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280 fainted. She's reached the emergency 75 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280 center while no one was able to play it, but the chief's son had 76 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200 stepped up and started to play. Everyone was scared what would 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280 happen if he messed up and at the best part of the music he 78 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,360 messed up due to not being great with crowds. 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,200 The beast started to get irritated due to the mess up but 80 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600 he went with it. Chapter 3, the rampage. 81 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,800 Then came another mess up and another. 82 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520 The beast was so agitated it starts to go on a rampage 83 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,760 attacking anything it could see. This is when the piglins stepped 84 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,320 in with their hand forged weapons. 85 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000 The leader of the piglins was so aggressive that the Warren was 86 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 overwhelmed by his strength that he used to boom attack against 87 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,480 him knocking all the nether mops back into the portal. 88 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,920 But at the last minute, the king through his two acts saying his 89 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,350 last words, he banished from the sense of sight and threw his 90 00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:32,910 pickaxe at the portal, breaking it to protect his people. 91 00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:36,190 The Axis hit the target perfectly, hitting the eyes of 92 00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:39,350 the beast and blinding him. Now he was so irritated that the 93 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:42,230 dragon, all her allies, and Herman shulkers started their 94 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:45,030 attack, the andman starting using the fighting techniques 95 00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:46,990 the above ground villagers taught them, and the shulkers 96 00:04:46,990 --> 00:04:49,470 starting shooting their ancient bullets of levitation at it. 97 00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:52,630 The dragon made her move. She started spraying her void 98 00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:55,840 breath at the beast, her deadliest attack, but it used to 99 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,880 have so much of her energy that she had to retreat back to the 100 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,120 end, later dying. That is why the dragon we know 101 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,280 can't do that. Since her youngly took over and 102 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:06,040 hadn't finished her training, the end of warriors were 103 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,280 overwhelmed by how fast and strong the beast was, punching 104 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,800 them one by one into the portal. The last Cinderman ran to the 105 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 portal and sacrificed himself to take the eyes out of the portal 106 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,040 so the beast couldn't reach their dimension. 107 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,200 Soon dying to the long boom, the beast saw to him. 108 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,560 Now it was left to the above ground villagers and the mobs we 109 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,530 know today, Creepers and the zombies went in with a close 110 00:05:27,530 --> 00:05:29,130 range attack. While the skeletons were staying 111 00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:32,490 back and firing their barrage of flaming arrows, the Warren was 112 00:05:32,490 --> 00:05:34,890 able to easily manipulate their minds and make them fight 113 00:05:34,890 --> 00:05:37,330 against the villagers. They were all running for their 114 00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:38,970 lives. All the underground villagers 115 00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:41,770 were plundered in the fight, but some above ground villagers 116 00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:44,170 skipped the fight. This is why you can find ruined 117 00:05:44,170 --> 00:05:47,250 villages and villagers can't place blocks, the kind that knew 118 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:49,970 how were demolished. Also you can find other 119 00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:52,010 structures like the fortresses that are still under 120 00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:53,770 construction. Many room bastions are 121 00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:56,170 downgraded with how worn out they became since their last 122 00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:59,050 repairs, and the underground villages have been from the 123 00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:01,690 forward called the ancient cities since. 124 00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:04,290 The only thing that roams around there is the beast still waiting 125 00:06:04,290 --> 00:06:06,570 for someone to play the flute for it one last time. 126 00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:10,170 Thank you Cole for something that story. 127 00:06:10,890 --> 00:06:13,650 I like all the lore stories we're getting now. 128 00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:17,050 It really does live in Minecraft up. 129 00:06:17,890 --> 00:06:22,010 Thanks again for that and let's get on to the next story. 130 00:06:30,970 --> 00:06:32,370 Thanks to Sebastian for swimming. 131 00:06:32,370 --> 00:06:36,690 This it is called Big Discovery. One day Steve was mining 132 00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:39,490 underground for Lapsazuli which he would use to enchant his 133 00:06:39,490 --> 00:06:41,730 armor. While he is mining, he stumbled 134 00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:45,330 upon a mossy stone brick wall. He broke on the strange blocks 135 00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:47,090 and his silver fish jumped out at him. 136 00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:50,290 He quickly switched out his pickaxe for his sword and sliced 137 00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:52,640 into two. Steve thought he was lucky 138 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 because he wasn't being swarmed. He picked up the experience once 139 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,440 and peered into the hole in the wall and saw a silverfish 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800 spawner and more silverfish crawling towards him. 141 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,600 He made the hole in the wall 2 by 1 and quickly deactivated the 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,840 spawner and killed the silverfish. 143 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000 He looked around and saw a lot of bookshelves and two loot 144 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480 chests. He knew bookshelves only spawned 145 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160 naturally in villages and strongholds and this was no 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,880 village. He opened the chest excited, and 147 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,760 found ten diamonds, gold horse armor 5 under Pearls, and 148 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,060 Enchanted Book of Sharpness 3. He mined some of the bookshelves 149 00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:25,260 to Max with the enchantment level on his enchantment table. 150 00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:28,300 Then Steve tried to remember some of the stronghold layouts 151 00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:30,660 he read about, but I thought about how one book said they 152 00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:33,100 were all different. Then he went around and searched 153 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:35,460 for the imported room. At first it seemed like some of 154 00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:38,180 the rooms are empty, but when he looked closer he knows some 155 00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:40,700 skeletons. He got his bows and arrows and 156 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,180 shot them post haste, collected the experience points and bones. 157 00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:46,940 He dropped and moved along, checked out some of the other 158 00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:49,340 rooms, and mostly found stone bricks and Halston mobs. 159 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,160 Then he stepped inside a large room lined with bookshelves and 160 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,840 torches. Another library. 161 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,840 Steve was upset because he thought it was the importer 162 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,040 room, but instantly up to his positivity when he saw the two 163 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480 loot chests. I'm getting a serious case of 164 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560 deja voost, he said to no one in particular. 165 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,960 Steve slowly peeked into the chest and found diamond torus 166 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,520 armor, 14 minute pearls, and an enchanted gold sword. 167 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,520 He put the atoms in his inventory, which was now getting 168 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,920 quite full of all the stacks of stone bricks he was collecting 169 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,840 and trudged along on his quest to finally find the importal. 170 00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:22,150 Steve passed many other rooms, but he only got bones and raw 171 00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:23,790 and flesh from skeletons and zombies. 172 00:08:24,430 --> 00:08:27,150 Sometimes when he tried to mine a stonebrick or mossy stonebrick 173 00:08:27,230 --> 00:08:30,310 silverfish appeared. Steve swiftly slashed them all 174 00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:32,070 and collected the experience points he dropped. 175 00:08:32,789 --> 00:08:35,429 Because he was slaying so many hostile mobs, he gained 5 176 00:08:35,429 --> 00:08:38,150 experience levels which he would use to entertain his armor. 177 00:08:38,789 --> 00:08:40,950 His armor was only ironed in some gold so it broke 178 00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:43,150 constantly. While he was checking out one 179 00:08:43,150 --> 00:08:47,270 room, he heard a strange Steve whipped around and came face to 180 00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:50,250 face with a Vindicator. He ducked down and just barely 181 00:08:50,250 --> 00:08:53,850 missed the axe the Vindicator had Steve slid on the mob's legs 182 00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:56,930 and slashing with his sword. Since Vindicators only have five 183 00:08:56,930 --> 00:09:00,330 hearts, defeating him was easy. Steve was amazed. 184 00:09:00,330 --> 00:09:02,010 He had taken only a small amount of damage. 185 00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:04,650 Even though he was placing torches every once in a while, 186 00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:06,730 Halston mobs were still spawning frequently. 187 00:09:07,450 --> 00:09:09,650 He had seen many iron doors linked to a different floors for 188 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:12,050 the stronghold, but he was confident it was on the lowest 189 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:15,930 floor it gave the one he was on. He had also seen more vindicates 190 00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:18,650 and skeletons behind some of the doors, so he decided to stay on 191 00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:21,450 his floor until he found either the importal room or didn't find 192 00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:24,210 it on this floor. Eventually he saw a couple of 193 00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:26,850 silverfish coming towards him. Unless the sponge probably close 194 00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:30,730 and the spawner means importal faster than he had ever done 195 00:09:30,730 --> 00:09:33,730 before, he stabbed and slashed all the silverfish and disabled 196 00:09:33,730 --> 00:09:36,170 spawner. Then he mined it so he could use 197 00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:38,370 it to step up the combi area in this house. 198 00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:42,170 Steve looked around and saw two pools of lava, some iron bars, 199 00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:45,160 and the disabled silvershish spawner, But the most exciting 200 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,560 thing in the room was the importal. 201 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Up some stairs and eight blocks ahead of him. 202 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,600 He almost passed out with the excitement. 203 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,600 Only six of the importal frames had the mysterious eyes of End 204 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,280 there in them, so he's checked his inventory and pulled out six 205 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,480 more. So you slowly placed them in, 206 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,240 making sure he did it right. Right when he placed the last 207 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,800 eye, the portal turned on. He looked like a chunk of the 208 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,840 void was right in front of him. He put it on a crafting table 209 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,960 and crafted a bed, then a chest, the new items down side by side. 210 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,310 He started to set his response point, but realized he was very 211 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:17,710 tired and need to sleep. So that's what he did when he 212 00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:19,990 woke up, put his most valuable items in the chest. 213 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:22,990 Then he put a sore and hot bar slot and slowly crept up to the 214 00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:24,990 portal. When he convinced himself it 215 00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:27,230 would be fun to visit the end dimension, he jumped in the 216 00:10:27,230 --> 00:10:30,150 portal. Whoa, Steve said as he spawned. 217 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:33,270 Ah, Steve yelled as the Ender Dragon killed him. 218 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:36,830 The end, as in the end of the story, not the dimension. 219 00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:42,120 Thank you, Sebastian, for submitting this story and also 220 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,720 thank you, the listener, for listening. 221 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,520 I will see you next week. That is a promise. 222 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Next Wednesday in less exchanging circumstances. 223 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,200 So I'll see you then. Bye.
