Skeleton Steve - 2019
That's SIX Minecraft Diary Books in ONE!!! --- Season 4 Episode 1 - The Search for Home Dying sometimes makes you forget stuff. Or, at least it did for Skeleton Steve. As our hero finally emerges from the underworld to the surface, sad about losing his friends and longing to get home, he is suddenly reminded the hard way that skeletons can't just walk out into the sunshine! Alone with no idea of where he is, our hero sees the Steve in the distance--the man who killed him--and goes after the immortal guardian of Diamodia in pursuit of a truce! After all, if he can catch up, the Minecraftian would be able to tell him the way home! But will Skeleton Steve even be able to catch up to the Steve in the wolf-infested mountains ahead? Watch out for the sun! --- S4E2 - A Troubled Teenage Zombie Villager Skeleton Steve spends the day hiding from the sun inside the ruins of a sandstone house in an abandoned village with a very interesting companion--a young zombie villager obsessed with a deep need to remember who he is! Sound familiar? Our hero can relate. Well, Skeleton Steve gives the zombie a journal to help him regain his memory, and offers to help and take him along with him. Maybe they can both find their homes! But there's one problem: the next night, the village is attacked by Minecraftians and the two of them are separated! Unable to find the nameless teenage zombie villager, Skeleton Steve is determined to find his way home, or to Angel Valley, and pursues the Minecraftians into the distant snowy mountains. Will he meet up with the teenage zombie villager again? Or perhaps finally run into the Steve? Will our hero EVER find his way home?? --- S4E3 - The Missing Name Skeleton Steve is recovering from a harrowing night of a brutal zombie assault on a small mountain village, and he's desperate to find his way home to his friends. When he feels out of luck and totally lost, Skeleton Steve suddenly runs into the teenage zombie villager that he lost back in the desert village! Now, vowing to help the poor young zombie recover his memories before heading home to Zombietown and his tower, Skeleton Steve is swept into a new adventure that he's not expecting! When our hero and the young zombie (and his cat, Mr. Whiskers) encounter a frightful and dangerous witch named Worla, they learn the zombie's NAME and where he came from! However, the whereabouts of the young zombie's home comes with a price--performing a small job for the wicked witch. But nothing bad could come from making a deal with Worla the witch, right? --- S4E4 - An Old Friend and a Brave Chicken (See Description Inside) --- S4E5 - The Slime Witch (See Description Inside) --- S4E6 - A Villager Returned Home - The Season FOUR Fina
