ONE day four children named Danny, Shezi, Mustafa and Ali were walking when they saw a forest and decided to go there. After walking for some time they suddenly fell in a pit. The pit was deep and it had zombies, skeletons, creepers and Ender–men and the Ender Dragon, dangerous creatures of the Inner World.

They tried to get out but then a wave of the creatures started to attack them. They quickly grabbed some clubs and stones they found nearby and started to defend themselves. Though the boys managed to kill some of the creatures, there were too many of them and the boys found it hard to defend themselves. The children nearly died trying to fend off the attack, but luckily they found an opening leading to a cave where they quickly took shelter.

When they entered the cave, they heard a mysterious noise. As they moved inside they saw two men there. The men introduced themselves as Killian and Poet. They said that the Ender Dragon had to be killed if they wanted to survive and make all the creatures disappear.

The men gave the kids some swords to fight the Ender Dragon and the dangerous creatures with it in the pit. The boys discussed what to do and then agreed that the only way out of this trouble was to fight and defeat these evil creatures. So they took the swords and stepped out of the cave to attack the creatures.

The boys attacked the creatures with the swords and slaughtered all the creatures and finally the Ender Dragon. As soon as they killed the dragon, they heard a voice. It was the voice of Hydra, the sea monster, which had many heads and was the faithful slave of the Ender Dragon.

As soon as they sliced one of its heads, another one would appear in its place. Then they decided that they would all strike the heads together in one go.

“Now!” Danny shouted and all of them attacked the different heads, chopping them off, and quickly struck blows at the remaining ones.

This way the boys were able to kill Hydra and once it died, the whole scene changed — the pit and the dead creatures disappeared and the boys found themselves standing just at the start of the forest. It seemed what they had just experienced was just their imagination. Or was it?
