Chapter 1
“Okay, where is it?” Jake asks, digging in the snow. “I need you for my stronghold! Well, also for the city. You dropped around here!”

“Found it.” Ciara says. “One down, eleven to go. We should head back to Wolfreach to go to sleep for the night.” Ciara looks around, trying to find Wolfreach village, the village they lived in. “Found it. Let’s go!” They start sprinting towards Wolfreach, being slowed down by the spruce trees blocking their way.

“Oh, get out of the way, spruce trees! Why are you here, anyways?” Jake asks himself.

“To barricade out hostile mobs.” Ciara responds. “If we didn’t have these, our whole village would be abandoned.”

“True, these trees are thick and hard to get through.” Jack mentions. “But, mobs can still get to the walls!”

“Mobs can’t climb. But, players can. So, that’s what makes our village protected.” Ciara says. “Okay, we have our eye of ender.” She points towards the Artifact storage house. “I would say we should tell him we have our first eye of ender.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Jack responds. Then, they knock on the door, waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

“I don’t think anyone’s inside.” Jack says. “We can check back tomorrow.” Then, behind them, a familiar voice is talking.

Distantly, it says: “Time to store all my artifacts in my chests.”

“Is that Hector?” Ciara asks herself, curious about who is there. “I think that’s him.”

“Hello, there. Now, why are you on my doorstep?” Hector asks them.

“We found the first eye. Only eleven to go.” Jack says, holding up the eye of ender.

“Oh, great job! Now, how did you obtain this?” Hector asks, waiting patiently.

“We beat an enderman. Although, I’ve never really seen an enderman like the one we fought.” Ciara explains.

“Then it must be one of the corrupted endermen.” Hector responds, flipping through pages of his History Book.
