Crafting My Family

"What do you mean it got away?" an echoing voice demanded.

"Well if you would have told me it was that powerful it wouldn't have. I was not ready for it," came a fruity voice.

"For being the god of chaos you sure couldn't handle one little player."

"Oh please, I found this world after playing with Lunas' things. It's no wonder that I was unprepared but I did have some fun at least, oh yes."

"Fun, fun, what do you mean fun? How could you have fun with that thing now loose in the world."

"While I couldn't destroy it I did manage to unhook it from its master. It's all alone now, alone and lost."

"For your sake Discord, it better be."

"Or what bright eyes, you can't even hurt me. I'm the god of chaos remember."

"Whatever just help me get rid of it."

......

I awoke on my side in the middle of a grassy field. I couldn't see much, just bright light, and I could feel the grass against my fur. As my vision and consciousness started to come about, I tried to stand up. That was proving to be difficult as my legs didn't want to move as they were told. Wobbling to my hooves I was able to take in my surroundings.

The rolling fields of green grass were expansive and plentiful with the occasional tree. Over to my left was a pool of water about two blocks deep with a stone bottom. To my right was a forest off in the distance with signs of snow next to it. In the far reach behind me was another forest with tall mountains behind it.

Walking (more like stumbling) over to the water, I fell in a previously undiscovered hole straight into the water. Thankfully it was only a block deep here and I was only just breaking the surface with my head. The water however was a nice cool temperature. I began to lap up the water as fast as I could, being quite thirsty all of the sudden. After I had gotten my fill of water I gazed down wondering why it was such a shade of blue, and in it I saw my reflection. Looking intently back at me as I did to it was a small brown unicorn filly. The mane was a dark green with a light green highlight through the center. Looking over myself I saw that no cutie mark existed, great something else for me to worry about, but it was not important right now.

I scanned the little pool and noticed that there was no way out. I couldn't climb out as the walls around the pool were just too high. Pounding my hoof against the dirt that made the wall, it formed a few cracks. I stopped and the cracks vanished, leaving the block completely unblemished. Knocking it again with my fore hoof, I noticed that the cracks once again appeared. This time I tried to see if I could destroy the block, so I hit it over and over until it vanished leaving behind a miniature rotating version of itself. Upon closer inspection, the block flew to me and disappeared with a small pop. I turned and waded through the water as fast as I could to the other side. Thank goodness the water was shallow along this edge. Looking back to the block I had broken I noticed that it was gone and so was the little one, but somehow I could still feel it. Now I just wanted out of this water and some explanations. I was thinking about the dirt I had broken and what might have made it spin. The dirt popped into view in front of me wrapped in an orange glow. Moving to run from it again, this time it moved as well, in front of me. I looked up to see if it was being held by somepony but there was nopony there. That's when I caught what little bit of my horn that I could see, glowing the same color as on the block. Reaching up a hoof, I tapped on my horn. When my hoof contacted the bone my vision changed to something completely different. I saw nothing but gray and 36 squares at the bottom of my view, along with four that had random shapes in them in the top left, and another square of four but with an arrow pointing at another one in the top right. In one of those boxes I saw that piece of dirt. It was in the first box of the bottom left but was outlined in a slightly lighter shade of grey.

Shaking my head the world returned to normal but there was that dirt block still floating there. Wading back over to the hole I started hitting the block above the one I broke earlier and it too broke into a smaller one. Working on the block behind the top block I made a sort of staircase out of the water I had been trapped in. Climbing up and out of the pool, I shook my coat dry and went over to a close by tree for some shade. As I was sitting underneath the branches of this large tree, I wondered if I could see those boxes again. This time all it took was the thought of those boxes to be able to see them. As I studied the boxes I saw something had changed. Now the box with the dirt had a ‘3’ next to the block.

So when I broke those dirt blocks I somehow collected them. I thought to myself. Now how do I get out, suddenly I was in the regular world again. So it works based on thought, I made a mental note of this and moved on. Something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head to see what it was, it was red and kind of round, rotating just like the blocks did. Getting back to my hooves I made my way over to it. As expected as I drew close to it, it flew into the place with the squares to join the dirt I had previously broken. Thinking about what it could be, it took place of the dirt block.

'Well it's a good thing I'm a unicorn otherwise it might be difficult with all of these thought controlled processes,' I thought to myself.

When I think about the 'item' it becomes the one I see. When I think about the storage space or inventory, it appears. So that may make things a bit easier and at least I have some food, not much, but some. "Wait," I said to myself, “If that came from the tree, maybe I can get more." Against my better judgment, I started knocking on the bottom block of the tree. When it falls I can salvage some of it, hopefully. The cracks grew larger and larger until it broke. When I anticipated the crash it never happened. Opening my eyes I saw a massive tree just hovering there, defying all physics. "Well that's just great, now what?" I thought about the 'inventory' and looked through it. Maybe there's something that can help me, I thought. Now three squares had something in them the dirt, the apple, and a chunk of wood. 'OH, what if I could split the wood.' As if on cue the wood block moved into the four squares located in the top right. This time the box to right of arrow now had what looked like lumber and a 4 next to them. I don't know how, but this 'inventory' just keeps getting more and more odd but useful. Taking the planks I started to ponder how big of an object I could make with this new feature. Also disappearing the planks were apparently split into the four boxes next to the arrow. The item displayed next to them was what resembled a work bench. This time something I missed caught my attention the item I thought about would have its name above it. This one’s was Crafting Table; it was an orangeish-tan with a 3x3 grid on the top and tools along the sides. With that in my inventory I snapped back to the real world. Now I had an apple, three pieces of dirt, and a crafting table. Finding this system useful and for the need of some food as well I finally began tearing down the tree.

After collecting fifty four pieces of oak wood, they were called, I had also collected an additional three apples. But what puzzled me still was what these small trees were. They were called saplings by the inventory but I do not know what they do and I had gotten fifteen of them to boot. By this time the sun had started to reach the horizon and it was growing dark fast. Across the field from me I spotted a black short figure. It was really wide about two blocks and short about one block tall. As it turned by the looks of it, it had many legs and glowing eyes, a lot of them. Without warning I heard a low groan from behind me. Spinning quickly on the spot I saw a stallion who was a sickening shade of green along with a black mane and tail. He had no cutie mark and patches of his coat were balding, exposing the rotting flesh beneath. He was slowly walking towards me in turn causing me to turn tail and bail. What was extremely unfortunate for me is that by the time I could no longer run I had gotten to a very mountainous area. With my stomach rumbling and no sign of anything strange I brought the apples out. As I finished the last one I heard a loud hiss, and as I turned and saw a tall greenish pillar looking creature. It exploded, throwing me high and far. The last thing I remember is bouncing off the ceiling landing on my stomach, on an outcrop inaccessible to anything where I immediately passed out.
