Chapter 1 BORROWED MAP Steve was hard at work on a new irrigation system for his wheat farm when he saw familiar faces in the distance Steve Lucy called out as she sprinted across the field toward him His friends Henry and Max raced behind Lucy I didn’t know you guys were in town Steve said He was happy to see his old friends We aren’t staying Henry told Steve We just came to pick you up and take you on a treasure hunt That’s nice of you but I think I’d like to stick around the farm I’m working on a new irrigation system My crops aren’t growing and I think they need more water Steve stood by a patch of carrots that were in desperate need of irrigation That can wait demanded Lucy We heard about a magical mountain that contains endless diamonds and we want you to come find it with us 1
2 The Clash of the Creepers How do you know it even exists questioned Steve We don’t but we’re going to find out replied Henry I don’t think I’m going to leave my farm to travel through the Overworld in hopes of finding a mountain that you aren’t even sure exists Steve was annoyed But you have to come with us pleaded Lucy You’re so resourceful and such a skilled fighter You have Max he’s the fighter Steve went back to working on his irrigation system Max walked over to Steve and showed him a map Look This adventure map has the mountain on it According to the map the mountain is past the jungle and by the ocean biome We’ve traveled through all of those biomes before and we know how to survive in them This is a no-brainer We have to make this trip How did you get that map asked Steve We were treasure hunting when we stumbled upon a group of explorers We wound up mining with them and one of the explorers started to talk about the mountain Apparently they had been there and it was amazing It has countless diamonds Lucy was so excited she rushed the words out in one breath And they gave you the map Steve was curious After being attacked by griefers in the past he didn’t trust anybody not in his circle of friends How did his friends know this wasn’t a trick That a griefer gave them a fake map leading them to a trap Well they didn’t give it to us Max fumbled with his words
Borrowed Map 3 Did you steal it Steve couldn’t believe his ears These were his good friends and he knew they weren’t thieves Let’s just say we borrowed it Henry said and smiled You stole it Steve raised his voice How could you do something like that It’s not as bad as you think explained Lucy They dropped it when they were destroyed by a creeper We escaped but I was able to pick up the map But this isn’t our map said Steve Lucy defended herself I do want to find them and give the map back Yes we just want to do it after we get the diamonds Henry said as he looked over Max’s shoulder and studied the map And the group had already been to the mountain and mined for diamonds They were only keeping the map so they could return when they needed more Lucy told Steve Steve wasn’t sure what to make of his friends proposal He needed to work on his irrigation system but he also wanted to go on an adventure with his friends Steve’s one serious issue with the trip was he didn’t trust the map Are you sure they didn’t drop it on purpose Maybe they wanted you to take it and once we get to the mountain they will trap us Maybe your new friends are griefers Steve guessed Well there is only one way to find out said Max
