Not so long-ish ago in a small-ish village called Mountain's Peak, all the villagers were getting ready for the coming winter. Every villager except for Raymond, that is.

Raymond was, in many ways, different. He had a particular thirst for adventure that none of the other villagers had, he never followed the villager dress code and used his own custom skin, didn't have the normal villager nose and never settled down in one particular job. Because of this all the other villagers saw him as an outcast, and made fun of him on a daily basis. So, Raymond decided that he had enough of this and was getting ready to leave the village of Mountain's Peak- forever.

"Okay, so I'll need these diamond boots and leggings, just in case, and I guess the iron breastplate and gold helmet will have to do for now," Raymond said to himself as he gathered his things together and prepared to leave.

"Hey Raymond!" Screamed a voice. Raymond groaned. It was Sheen; a very dim-witted, but nice villager, as he was the only one who hadn't ever teased Raymond.

"Hey...wait, are you going somewhere?" Sheen asked.

"Um…" Raymond's eyes darted around the room then smiled, "No."

"Oh, ok."

Raymond stood there, with a nervous grin on his face, and continued to look around the room.

"So" he began, prolonging the vowel, "How has your day been, Sheen?" Raymond said, still jittery.

"Um, good, I guess," He replied. A few moments of awkward silence passed until Raymond said: "I think I hear your mom calling you, Sheen,"

"You do?" Sheen turned around and ran, screeching , "I'm coming mom!"

Raymond could finally relax, now that no one was snooping around, so he picked up his things, swung his bag over his shoulder, and headed out. He smiled and walked out of the village, making sure that no one saw him. As soon as he was far enough away, Raymond turned and took one last look at the village he had lived in his entire life. Not that he really enjoyed living there anyway. Raymond chuckled as he turned back around and started on his journey. First thing that he needed to do was, obviously, get some minerals and materials. He spotted a cave nearby and smiled, walking towards it and pulling out his trusty iron pickaxe to collect some necessary ores like coal, iron, and as well as stone. Then he smiled at the sight of a vein of coal, walking to it and starting to mine it. But then something strange appeared, it was some kind of...crystal. It was shimmering all different colors even though it was dim in the cave with just the torch for light . "I feel like I should mine it..." Raymond thought out loud. He eyed the strange gem, and shrugged. "This thing looks really expensive. I wonder how much it costs?" Raymond thought as he started mining the glimmering jewel.. Raymond's world was spinning around him once the crystal was mined, his vision going blurry. Around him stars and planets flew by as the world continued to spin out of control. As quickly as the spinning started, it stopped. Raymond's vision cleared and he was met with a strange portal right in front of him where the crystal used to be. Raymond's eyes widened.

"How'd this get here?" he pondered aloud. The portal didn't have exactly a visible frame, as its shape kept changing and getting undulated around the sides. "I wonder where this goes…" Raymond slowly walked towards the strange glowing portal, looking cautiously at the undulating frame. "It most definitely isn't a Nether Portal. And I don't think this is what an Aether Portal looks like," Raymond thought to himself as he inspected the portal. "Well, it's certainly worth a look. I'll just check out the surroundings and then hop back through the portal," Raymond thought as he prepared to jump through the portal.

He bent his knees, and jumped. As soon as he touched the portal block though, he blacked out

Raymond woke up with a headache, confused, lost and with an overall feeling of being in immediate peril and doom. But somehow, in spite of all this, he was able to get his act together and stood up, looking across this strange, unfamiliar land that was lit up by a red sun. There was a town in the distance, and a cave just around the corner, somewhat. Dark clouds covered the red sun, and it started to rain, so Raymond turned around to go back but, the portal was gone!

"WHAT! NO! NO!" He screamed. "HOW?! IT WAS JUST HERE!"

Lighting forked in the distance, so Raymond quickly decided to head to the cave. When he reached the cave, Raymond noticed an old man already in the cave. As he approached the old man cautiously, he suddenly looked up and saw Raymond."It's dangerous to go alone: take this!" the old man told Raymond as he thrust a Diamond Sword into his hands,he turned around to leave, then turned back around to thank the man, but he was gone, leaving Raymond extremely confused. "Umm, ok then." Raymond looked at the Diamond Sword he had just been given. It looked like an average Diamond Sword, but Raymond could feel magic radiating off it. "Must be enchanted. If I ever see that old man again I'll have to thank him," Raymond thought as he put the Diamond Sword into his inventory. Suddenly, Raymond felt a sharp pain in his head. Raymond groaned. "Great, just what I need. A headache," Raymond thought as his gaze drifted towards the village. "Perhaps there's a doctor there that could give me something to help it. And perhaps someone who could help me get back to my own dimension," Raymond thought as he waited for the rain to cease.

About 20 minutes later, the raining finally stopped, and Raymond started walking towards the village.

The village looked rather normal but with one difference: everybody was locked up in their house and looking through their windows at him. There were no children playing outside, no laughter and no music. This made Raymond feel uneasy. He looked around, trying to locate a doctor, or someone who was willing to help him. But it seemed to him that no one was about to offer him help anytime soon.

"Creepy" Raymond thought. But then someone appeared from a house.

"Stranger! It's dangerous to be out here alone, come with me quickly!" The teenager said.
Raymond cautiously followed the teenager into his house.

"Who are you?" Raymond asked curiously.

The teen, who appeared to be about Raymond's age replied: "I am Xavier,"

"And I'm Raymond, why is it dangerous to be out alone?" He asked, and then added, "I mean I know that there are creepers and stuf-"
"Creepers? Creepers are the least of your worries here." Xavier said shakily "if you want to know why we lock ourselves in our homes it's because of.." Xavier quickly looked around, as if to make sure no one was watching, "our king, Caesar, he's gone mad with power, it's turned him evil,"

"So, this king," Raymond said, "when you say evil do you mean like just Evil, or EVIL?"

"He likes to kill innocent people for no good reason,"

Raymonds eyes widened, as he had no words to say.

"He killed my family just because they were wearing the color blue, he hates the color blue,"

Raymond gathered enough courage to whisper. "Is there anything that we can do?"

"Are you insane?!" Xavier metaphorically exploded, "He'll kill you faster than an Enderman!"

"Hey Xavier, are you okay?" Said a voice, it sounded like a girl , "We heard you shouting, do you want us to be killed?!" The girl, who was also a teenager, appeared in the doorway. "Who's this?" She said pointing at Raymond.

"That's Raymond," Xavier said.

Raymond suddenly collapsed, as the pain in his head worsened and extreme pain shot through his entire body, screaming in agony.

"Wha-wha-what's hap-happening?" He managed to choke out.

"I have no idea, I've never seen this before," Xavier exclaimed, "have you Sasha?"

Sasha just shook her head.

"MAKE IT STOP!" Raymond screamed his lungs out.

Coincidentally, it did.

"I think I know someone who does though," said Sasha.

MEANWHILE AT THE CASTLE OF ZONDIG

Caesar was not happy. His servants were late, and he was hungry. "CHEF! WHERE IS MY FOOD? YOUR KING IS HUNGRY!" The chef still didn't come. "WHERE IS THAT CHEF!?"
Another servant, a messenger, came to Caesar.

"Your majesty, you killed him last week."

"Well, didn't I get a replacement chef?!"

"You killed him just yesterday evening" He explained, and then added: "Now, your majesty I have some news."

"What is it?" Caesar asked.

"A….portal opened up just about north of Raven Creek."

" A portal?!" Caesar exclaimed.

"Yes, but it would long have dissipated by now, but it is extremely likely that someone cam-"
"THE PROPHECY!" Caesar shouted, jumping up. "I WANT THAT INTERDIMENSIONAL BEING FOUND!"

"Yes, sir," Said the messenger, "I'll alert the military right away! But I beg your pardon, my good sir, but what is the prophecy?"

"Something that must not happen, or it will be bad, very bad! NOW GO AND ALERT THE ARMY! NOW!" The king was roaring.

"Of-of course sir, right away!" The servant was shaking with fear, as he too didn't want to lose his life.

"AND TELL SOMEONE TO COOK ME DINNER ALREADY!" The king added, even though he lost all of his appetite as soon as the words in the prophecy reached his mind.

"...and let the portal open and bring the chosen one..." He remembers how it goes. But he quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it came. "I am not about to let some stupid 'Chosen One' take over my throne," Caesar muttered to himself. "Not while I'm still alive."
