Chapter 4

Coming Together

Leading the collection of monsters, the virus walked across the landscape, weaving around tall spruces and over lush grass-covered rolling hills. Looking behind, he could see the small collection of creatures following, the dark eyes of the zombies and skeletons turned upward to stare in amazement at the white fluffy clouds that drifted across the deep blue sky.

Following their gaze, the virus could see large boxy creatures with soft babe-like faces floating amongst the clouds. They dragged their tentacles through the rectangular mist playfully as they chased one another in some sort of airborne game. Feeling into the mechanism of Minecraft, the virus knew these creatures were ghasts…entities that lived in the sky, their skin painted a pristine white to match the blocks in which they played.

“Maker, where are you leading ussss?” one of the spiders asked.

She was the largest of the spiders. Her multiple red eyes looked up at the virus with wonder and respect, the tiny dark black hairs on her body moving in every direction. Her curved razor sharp mandibles clicked together in a syncopated rhythm, the other spiders nearby trying to match the cadence.

“I found a village when I first appeared in Minecraft,” the virus said. “We are going there to offer them help.”

“A village?” the spider asked. Some of the other monsters heard this and moved closer to listen.

“Yes, a village,” the virus continued. “If we are all trapped on this server, we might as well work together…right?”

“Well…they may not welcome ussss…”

“Villages are dangerous to zombies,” one of the decaying creatures said.

“And to skeletons,” a bony monster added.

“The villagerssss hate ussss, and we hate them,” the large spider said. “We can all remember fighting them before thissss…Awakening.” The spider turned its dark head and looked up at the virus with its many red eyes. “The villagerssss are enemiessss.”

“But that was before the Awakening,” the virus explained. “Now, living creatures inhabit the server…not just the villagers, but all the creatures of Minecraft. You don’t have to fight anymore…we should work together, instead.” He looked down into the questioning eyes of the spider, then reached out and placed a hand on her fuzzy black head. “No one has to be alone. Trust me.”

Looking up from the spider, the virus saw the village at the bottom of the sloping plain. NPCs moved about between the buildings, unaware of the approaching mob.

“They have not seen ussss yet,” hissed the spider. She pointed to the roofs of the wooden homes that dotted the community. “They usually put watcherssss up there to warn the otherssss of our arrival.”

“These villagers do not expect us to come during the day,” one of the skeletons added. “But now that the Maker has changed us, we can visit them while the sun still shines.”

The mob moved closer, now only forty blocks from the edge of the village. Some of the creepers hissed in excitement, but the quiet moans of the zombies were filled with worry. Looking at their faces, the virus could see that there was fear in their eyes…of the villagers and also of the sun.
