Yognapped 0: Creation P1

The End. A vast white desert populated only by the wraithlike Endermen and their seemingly ever-present guardian, the mighty Ender Dragon. 

Three individuals descended into the realm, touching down on a hill of cold End Stone. These were the three gods: Notch, the eldest and lord of the Aether; Rana, the youngest and ruler of the Nether; and Herobrine, middle child and controller of the Void.

Notch immediately set off to take care of business, leaving his two siblings behind. Rana, outwardly a pale young woman with long red-brown hair, gazed around for a bit before turning to Herobrine. "So this is the End, huh?" 

"You haven't been here?"

"Always been so focused on my domain. Tending to souls and all that."

Herobrine chuckled, but his expression still spoke of sadness. "Well, you'll have a lot more to take care of soon."

There was a brief silence, as Herobrine thought over what was about to happen, then Rana spoke again. "So... your color choice leaves a bit to be desired. If you don't mind me saying."

This time Herobrine's laugh was genuine. "I thought you might say that. To you, it looks blank and grey. But that's just because you haven't been exposed to the Void as long as I have."

Herobrine shut his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, they glowed bright and white. "Shame you couldn't experience its true beauty before... well, before time ran out."

"So what do you see?"

"I couldn't describe it. It is just one of those things you need to see for yourself to understand."

A line of Enderman moved slowly past the gods, carrying blocks of End Stone and obsidian to build crude structures. Herobrine stared at them sadly, knowing that most of them would soon be dead.

After a long wait, Notch reappeared, carrying a switch and sprinkling redstone dust behind him.

"Biome Busters are all wired up. Since this is your world, Herobrine, would you prefer for me or Rana to do this?"

"No, no... I can handle it."

Notch set the switch down at the end of the redstone trail, and Herobrine stepped up to it. After looking around one last time, he reached down and pressed it.

The redstone stretching into the distance lit up, and destruction followed. Across the vast expanse, dozens of massive explosions filled the sky with flame. Herobrine noticed, in the one sickening moment before he closed his eyes, that many of the explosions carried fragments of his Endermen.

Moments later, all that remained of the End was the section they stood on. It was still fairly sizable, but nowhere near its former magnitude. Beyond this segment, there was only ambient light.

Rana looked sadly at her brother, who appeared on the verge of tears. Before she could say anything, though, he straightened up. "It had to be done."

Notch nodded his approval. "This area will be separated from the main dimension soon. Come, brother and sister. It's my turn to create now, and I've been waiting for eons to do it."

The three departed to the Aether to see the creation of the new land, leaving the surviving Endermen to their fates.
