Steve walked along the river bed hoping to find a mansion, he was specifically looking for one to get a Totem of Undying.. However that would not be the case. Steve had battled many Drowneds, Creepers, Endermen, even attempted the Ender Dragon, which is how he started this journey for a totem in the first place. Steve was getting tired of walking so he made camp. A small shack of wood from nearby trees, cobblestone, and sand for windows from the sandy bank nearby. "Once i find this mansion.. I'll be able to finally kill the dragon." He said to himself, finally able to catch a break he decided to fish. Nothing like some good Cod for dinner, right? He sat down and cast his fishing rod.

Not too long after, his fishing rod caught hold of something.. Big.. In fact too big that it wasn't a fish, it was a whole cow! It looked like it had been shot with an arrow and tried to swim in the river to escape, but to no avail. Steve was on edge. *How could someone recently do this..?* He thought, and started to wonder if he was being followed. Suddenly he was confronted with a crossbow. He looked to his left and saw a Pillager raid party. They HAD been following him!
Steve brought out his sword but got held back by two Illagers. Steve struggling to fight back, the Captain of the raid walked up to him, crossbow in hand. "Who are you? Speak up!" He demanded angrily. "The names Steve and get out of my way, I'm trying to fish!" Steve responded. "A likely story. We heard you talking about our mansion. We will take you there and the Evoker will have a word with you.. If you survive him."

*timeskip to night*

After a journy of 500 blocks or so, nightfall set. Steve was tied up and being kept guard by an Illager while the raid party slept. Steve, trying to be let go, tried to interact with the Illager. "So.. you know you dont have to do thi-" He got cut off as the guard interrupted "Shut up. I don't have time for talk. I'm only keeping guard on you because I've been appointed to." The Illager  whispered after, "Between you and me, and you BETTER keep this a secret, I'd much rather be anywhere other than here. You think I actually like it here? The others are terrible." Steve nodded then thought for a moment, then whispered back "You know, you don't have to stay here, we could sneak out and get away from this place, I wont have to deal with the Evoker, and you don't have to deal with them."

The Illager stood there for a moment, then untied him, clearly desperate to get away from the other raid members. Grabbing Steve's arm, the Illager started sprinting away. Steve had a hard time keeping up with the Illager, but eventually managed to keep pace. "Thank you, Steve is it? How about you and me live as neighbors? I trust you, since you got me away from them, they won't find us, don't worry." Steve thought once more, and being the nice guy he was agreed.

Steve and the Illager became roommates, eventually forgetting their past lives, made a farm. target practicing range, and lived a good life.

The end.
