The Edge of the Night

''            A story based off of the sandbox video game Terraria. Hope you enjoy!''

Me, unsure of where I should go and what I should be doing. I asked Andrew, as I was sure that he knows almost everything about how one survives.

"Hey...Uh, Andrew...Now what do I do?"

"You build a shelter. It's essential, unless you want us to get a zombie infection. Or unless you want us to die a horrible, horrible death by demon eyes."

"Oh...."

Me, I went over and started cutting down trees with the three copper tools, specifically the axe, I had found laying on the ground near the grass field I woke up on. I build a small shelter, but Andrew was very..nitpicky about it.

Andrew, he commented on my shelter.

"Um... This shelter. It doesn't have walls. I don't think the protection will be that good without the walls, you know? And also, where will we sleep?!"

"Do we need walls in this kind of world?", I responded.

"Well, yes! It's gonna be cold out in the night, you know?"

"Fine.", I said, and I put out some wooden walls. I and Andrew noticed however, that it got extremely dark in the house.

"We also need some torches, cause it'll be too dark and we'll probably hit the walls while we are trying to walk somewhere. Go kill some slimes for their extremely flammable gel. You can light it up later on."

"Alright."

I went and used my Copper Shortsword on a Blue Slime, however it proved to be extremely uneffective. I used my pickaxe, and it proved to be much better for me. I killed some slimes, and I got their gel.

I made a few torches and hanged them up on the wall.

"Much better. Finally.", sighed Andrew.

"Hey Andrew...It's sunset. Rather than wandering around outside far...don't you think we should probably wander outside near? It'd be better than having the zombies surprise attack us without us being able to go back home."

"Alright..."

We had went inside our shelter as soon as the moon had shined, for the zombies' grunts could be heard and the demon eyes could be seen. We had slept on the floor, for it was the only sleeping place we could have.

The sun had shined with all its glory, and I woke up. Andrew didn't, however...So of course, I went exploring a little. Better let him relax.

I had found a little area with grassy bush 'walls'... It had many pots in it, and it had a big dirt ceiling. It was dark inside, so I held some of my leftover torches, and I had carried them inside. I broke some pots with my pickaxe, however eventually I found a chest. When I opened it, I was amazed by the contents, as it contained some magic brews and even a spear! Me, realizing that exploring this world can be very rewarding, I went on. I found another chest...and I had found a leafy wooden magic wand. I was skeptical if it could actually do magic... That is, until I used it.

It shot a shiny, sparkly and powerful little beam.

I couldn't use it again until after a while however...It had a cooldown.

Since I went pretty far, I used my recall potion and I found myself somewhere very, very close to the small shelter I built.

I opened the door and stepped foot inside, only to find a worried Andrew.

"Hey, Andrew, what's wrong?"

"He-Hey! I thought you died or something! Never go wandering around without telling me first, please. Gah.", he said.

"I'm sorry. But I got some very sweet loot from the chests! You've gotta see this!"

"Fine... Show."

I showed him the magic wand and the spear I had found lying in the chests.

He was surprised, considering I now had the power to fight all of the monsters that pop up outside.

He later had asked me to go venturing in a cave. I warned him not to open the door, however.

"But I have a very bad urge of doing it! It's like, my life!"

"No."

"Fine."

I went into the cave I found, and I brought a lot of torches I found inside the pots from earlier.
