(As I explored the mountains, I started to wonder where a plains biome was - that way, I could set up a base. The sky was black, indicating that it was night. But since I don’t have a bed in my inventory and it’s been 3 days since I defeated the Ender Dragon, I felt nervous. Then, I noticed a strange girl. She had long, dark blue hair - and her eyes were green. Her tattered hoodie seemed to resemble the Phantom mob, and she even had a pair of Phantom wings on her back. Her “leggings” were the same indigo color as her hoodie, and they were also tattered. Her pitch-black gloves were so tattered that her fingers were visible.)

Female Phantom: (the female Phantom just looks at me, with tears in her eyes)

[player]: “Uh…hi?”

Female Phantom: (she looks away, not even bothering to talk with me)

(Something confused me - she didn’t even talk once. Maybe she was mute?)

[player]: “Uh…are you mute by any chance?”

Female Phantom: (she shakes her head, still looking away)

[player]: “I see. What are you doing out here?”

Female Phantom: (she doesn’t answer, but instead raises her wings and begins to fly away)

[player]: “Wait! Don’t go - I could help you if you need it!”

(The female Phantom ignores my words and flies off into the night sky. I watch her disappear into the distance with a heavy heart. But just as sudden, she landed immediately - shaking in fear.)

[player]: (concerned) “Are you alright?”

(The female Phantom looks at me, and…talks.)

Female Phantom: “I…I’m afraid of flying!”

(I was shocked as to what she said, and also a little confused.)

[player]: “But…you’re a Phantom. Don’t you fly all the time?”

Female Phantom: “Yes…I do. But I’m scared. Scared of how high I can go and how fast I can go.”

[player]: “Oh. I see. Well, do you want me to help you overcome your fear?”

Female Phantom: (she hesitates for a moment before nodding)

[player]: “Alright. First, we’ll start off slow. Just hover a few feet off the ground.”

(The female Phantom slowly starts to lift off the ground, a look of fear on her face.)

[player]: “Good job. Now let’s go a bit higher.”

(I slowly guide her higher and higher until we’re above the trees.)

[player]: “You’re doing great. Look how far you’ve come.”

Female Phantom: (she smiles, a sense of accomplishment on her face)

[player]: “Now, let’s try flying a bit faster.”

(The female Phantom starts to fly faster, and I can see the fear on her face returning.)

[player]: “Don’t worry. I’ve got you. Just keep flying, and you’ll overcome your fear.”

(We continue to fly faster and faster, and eventually, the fear on her face disappears.)

Female Phantom: “I did it! I’m not scared anymore! Thank you so much!”

[player]: “You’re welcome. I’m actually trying to find a plains biome to set up my base.”

Female Phantom: “Oh, I know where one is. Follow me.”

(The female Phantom leads me to a nearby plains biome and even helps me set up my base. We end up becoming good friends and continue to have adventures together, with the fear of flying no longer holding her back. And after a few days, she moved in - and I got to work on her room, which resembled a Phantom’s head.)

Female Phantom: “I love it, [player]! It’s perfect!”

[player]: “I’m glad you like it. It was fun to build.”

Female Phantom: “I can’t believe how much my life has changed since I met you. I used to be so scared all the time, but now I feel like I can do anything. I’m Midnite, by the way.”

[player]: “Nice to officially meet you Midnite. And I’m glad I could help you overcome your fear. That’s what friends are for.”

Midnite: “Friends…yeah, I like the sound of that.”

[player]: “Me too.”

(The two of us share a smile as we continue to explore the land of Minecraft together, with Midnite no longer held back by her fear of flying. 10 months later, I saw that Midnite had made a few adjustments to her room - several pictures of her flying and flaunting her belly, a dark blue crib, and even several balloons that spelt “Welcome Home, Specter”.)
