I looked around at the booths at this year's com-a-con, and I moved my hair out of my face and looked around for anyone selling a diamond sword or pickaxe to finish my custom. As I walked, I saw a woman in the back dressed like Alex, and she had a complete set of diamond tools. I smiled and walked over, and she looked at me with a smile on her face.

“Hello, Steve. Come to trade for some tools or food.”

I laughed and nodded as I pulled some glass emeralds from my little side bag. “Haha, what will twelve emeralds get me?” She smiled as she looked at my emeralds and nodded.

“A sword and pickaxe.”

I laughed and was about to put the glass emeralds away to get my wallet; she took them from my hand. “Hey!” She smiled and waved at me.

“Good luck.”

She snapped her fingers, and everything started to move like when you walk into a neither portal. I fell and nodded my head. I blinked and moved my hands, and hit something. I jerked my hand back and saw the diamond pick-ax and sword with an iron ax and a note. I grabbed the note as I sat up and grabbed the diamond sword.

Hello Steve

This is Alex, and you are now in the world of Equestria at the beginning of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's rule. Try to avoid them until you have at least enchanted iron armor and a hidden base. They are nice enough, but the ponies around them, not so much. I’ve also given you two gifts. First, the iron ax, and as in the game, your bed will be your savepoint. You can keep one item in hand and one on your back. Whichever item you keep on your back will be held with a chest strap. As for other items, you’ll have your own storage. All you have to do is touch the other items. If you want another item besides the two, you have at hand think about the item. I’ve also hidden chests with custom crafts and machines like those you see in custom worlds Weapons.

I blinked and didn’t believe what I was reading. I looked down at my sword. There was a wooden handle and a jagged guard and pale with a diamond fixed into the pale. The diamond blade was bright blue and jagged.

‘Well, here goes nothing.’ I put the sword on my back, and a leather strap appeared around my chest. I jumped back; it didn’t hurt at all. I sighed and nodded as I patted my chest. I nodded and grabbed my ax before touching the pickaxe with my free hand. It vanished once I put my hand on the handle. I jerked my hand back but nodded as I looked at it. “Okay, that's going to take some getting used to.” I looked at the trees around me and shrugged my shoulders as I looked at them. “Guess I better get to work at least I have more than twenty minutes to work.” I walked over to a tree, pulled my ax back, and swung it. I cut deep into the tree and came out smoothly. I swung again, and I tried to keep count, knowing I only had two-hundred and fifty-one swings in it. ‘I’ll need to find diamonds to make a diamond ax.’ I cut through the tree and heard the cracking. I moved away, and the tree burst into blocks and then vanished. I blinked before I nodded and did as the note said. I thought of the woodblocks, and a small wooden block appeared in my hand, no bigger than the palm of my hand. I was a name tag over the woodblock. It was an oak block, and I got five blocks. ‘Okay, this is cool, but I’ll need a lot more and a crafting table, but how do I do that.’ I stopped and looked at the five. A two by two appeared over my hand, and I smiled as I looked at it. “Hell ya!” I tapped the two by two with my other hand. I tapped on a box, and another screen popped up below the two by two. I saw the five blocks, and I smiled. I tapped on the blocks, then tapped the slots. I smiled as four wood moved into the slots and made sixteen oak planks. I moved the rest of them and smiled as I saw a crafting table. I smiled and crafted it, and it appeared in my hand.’Yes, now I can make everything else. But first more wood.’ I turned and summoned my ax again. I walked over to another tree and started to cut it down. I heard a branch snap, and I spun and stopped as I looked down at a girl or werewolf. I blushed as I looked at her. She was nude, but her fur covered everything. She was about four and a half feet tall with light amber eyes. She had white fur on her chest, hands, feet, nose, and tail tip. The rest of her fur was a nice light brown. I noticed her rips showing a little, and she looked scared.

(No collar)

“D-do you have food to spare?”

I blinked as I looked at her, more shocked that she spoke than her human-looking body. I blinked as I looked at her and looked back down at my bag. I opened my bag and smiled as I saw the three bags of jerky I had. I pulled a bag out and looked back at her. “I don’t have much, but you're free to have it.” I took a few steps, and she looked at the bag, and I saw some joy in her eyes. She slowly walked over, and I smiled as I dropped to a knee, making us the same height. She smiled and grabbed the bag from my hand. I smiled as I sat down, and she sat down in front of me and ripped the bag open. She grabbed a few pieces of meat and started to eat them. I smiled as she ate, and I reached up and ran my hands through my hair. She looked at me as she ate, and I could guess by how she was eating. It's been a while since she last ate. I reached down and put my hand on her head, and she stopped. I smiled as I ran my hand down, straightening her hair out, then stood back up and looked at the tree. I started to walk again.

“W-wait!”

She grabbed my shirt, and I looked back down at her. I looked down at the bag and saw more than half the jerky was gone.

“T-thank you.”

I smiled and nodded as I looked into her eyes. “Don’t worry sweetie, I’m just starting to get wood I need to build myself a home.” She looked a little as she looked at me. She looked like she wanted to ask me something but was too scared to. I got back down on a knee and looked her in the eye. “Is something wrong?” She broke eye contact and nodded as she looked down.

“I don’t want to sleep outside again. I don’t want to keep running from the monster that come out at night.”

I frowned, then realized what she was saying. ‘Oh fuck.’ I nodded as she looked back up at me. I patted her head and stood back up. “Don’t worry; we'll have a few walls to keep the monsters away.” She smiled as she looked up at me. “Finish your meal, then get some small wood together for a fire, and I'll work on getting us wood for our wall.” She nodded and went back to eating as I looked back at the tree. I walked over and started to cut the tree down. I watched as the tree turned to blocks. I turned and started to cut another tree. I started to hum as I chopped away at the tree. I had two more trees down a few minutes later and checked my tree count. I have thirty wood in my inventory. “Okay, more than enough. I sent the wood back and summoned my pickaxe. She had a nice stack of starter wood next to an empty bag. I nodded as I walked over and looked at the small hill and saw a nice wall of stones. ‘Stone tools and a sword for her.’ I walked over and stuck the stone a few times, and it broke and disappeared.

“Magic?”

I looked back down at the little dog-girl and smiled as I looked at her. “Well, I guess you could call it that. I can break down anything and then carry them with me. Or make them into something else. I’m about to get you something to make stuff after making the house.”I broke more stone, and I stopped as I broke into a vein of coal. I smiled and broke some of it, finishing my little mine. I walked back out of my small cave and looked at the stunned little dog. I laughed as I walked back out into the small clearing. I switched back to the woodblocks and walked over to the crafting table. I made a door and trap doors. I smiled as she watched me work with the table. I grabbed the leftover wood and walked over to the center of the clearing. I placed down a corner block as she tried to start a fire. She was doing well, and I laughed as I started working on the walls. I hummed as I finished the left wall, then jumped back down to the right wall and started to build it. I was more than happy for all the extra time.

“Wow.”

I Stopped at the top of the right wall, and she looked up at me. “Ya, I can make a home fast. Before nightfall I want to make a few furnaces.”

“Why?”

I smiled as I got back to work. “For one, I’ll need it to smelt ores, cook food and keep us warm when the night gets cold.” I finished the walls and smiled as I looked at the ten by ten walls. I switched over to the wood with the bark still on it. I started to make a roof keeping an eye on the girl. She’d gotten a fire going and looked proud at her work. ‘I need to get her name.’ I finished the flat roof without putting too much effort into this temporary house. I jumped down, making a deep pain run up my legs. Even though the house was only five blocks high. I saw I had ten at the bottom of my vision. I saw three and a half were dark. ‘Oh shit, I have a health bar.’ I nodded my head as I looked around. Walked over and smiled as I saw the hole I had left in the wall. I walked in the set down my crafting table. Then made a few torches then put them on the walls. I smiled and nodded before walking back over to the crafting table. “Okay, All I need is a door and maybe a few furnaces to smelt the ores I’ll find.”

“Ores?”

I looked back at the door and saw the girl standing there. I smiled as I walked back over to her and patted her head. “Metals I can use to make items. Like tools, armor, and weapons.” She nodded, then looked back over at the small fire she had going. I smiled and patted her head again. I walked out and then looked at the sun, glad to see it hadn’t moved. I pulled out my new stone pick-ax. I walked back into my stone mine and started to break more of it. I spent a good thirty minutes. I had a whole stack, half a stack of coal and three raw iron, and one raw iron block. I smiled as I walked back out and saw the small girl carrying arms full of leaves into the house. ‘Guess that’s her idea for a bed. Well, I guess I need six sheep and wood.’ She walked out and saw me.

“Mr!”

She ran over and grabbed my hand, and pulled on it.

“Come look!”

I laughed and let her pull me along to the open door. I saw two big piles of leaves and moss on the bottom. I smiled and rubbed her head with my free hand. “Thanks, honey, they look nice. But I need to go hunting for us.” She smiled before she walked back over to the fire and threw more wood onto the fire. I smiled as I walked into the trees and started up the hill. I rested my ax on my shoulder as I walked. I got to the top of the hill and looked across the forest. I looked around, looking at the beauty of this forest. “What a beautiful forest. This is where I’ll make home base.”

“Really?”

I jumped and looked behind me. I laughed and nodded before I summoned the stone sword. “I made you something to protect yourself with too.” I held it out to her, and she took it, and it shrunk to fit her size. “Interesting, I didn’t see that coming.” She ignored me and smiled as she looked at the sword. I patted her head before I started to walk down the hill. “Come on little honey.”

“My name isn’t honey. It’s Emma.”

“Okay, Emma, call me Steve. Steve the miner.”
