(In the Nether…)

[player]: “Back to this hellhole, huh?”

(Just then, [player] notices someone in the distance.)

[player]: “Hey, it’s a Blaze!” (approaching the female blaze) “Hey-”

Female Blaze: “Back off!”

[player]: (mind) “Whoa…” (approaching the female blaze again) “Uh…hi-”

Female Blaze: “What are you doing in the fortress, human?”

[player]: “Do you have to be THAT hot under the collar?”

Female Blaze: “Oh, haha… What do you want? A trophy?” (preparing to launch a fireball) “Anyways, you gonna leave me alone or you want to try out my Fire Charge?”

[player]: “It’s your Fire Charge, or my Snowball.”

Female Blaze: “Hmph… Why bother…” (the fireball in her hand vanishes) “Anyways, name’s Blazette, or Blaze for short. Yeah, my parents weren’t that creative with my name… So what?”

[player]: “I’m [player].”

Blazette: “Okay. Now that the introductions outta the way, I think you need something…” (not having calmed down once) “What do you want with me?”

[player]: “Well, I was thinking…”

(Options:

- “The Blaze Rods…”

- “The Water…”

- “The Baby Bump…”

- “You…”)

{OPTION 1: “The Blaze Rods…”}

[player]: “What’s with the Blaze Rods spinning around you?”

Blazette: “Hmph… Why do you care?”

[player]: “Hmm…” (mind) “I’m gonna assume she doesn’t know…”

Blazette: “But if you’re considering to agree on letting me stick one of these up your–”

[player]: “WHAT?! NO!!” (calming down) “The only thing I want with Blaze Rods are for brewery and not for something where the sun don’t shine… And there is no sun here…”

Blazette: “Well, that’s a shame…”

{OPTION 2: “The Water…”}

[player]: “So what’s it like being pelted by water…”

Blazette: “It just feels like we’re melting…” (snapping out of it) “Wait… Why am I telling you this?”

[player]: “Hmm…” (mind) “Doesn’t sound like a way to go…”

{OPTION 3: “The Baby Bump…”}

[player]: “Why is your baby bump so hot?”

Blazette: “What do you mean?!”

[player]: “I mean, it’s literally glowing. Is it normal for Blaze to have baby bumps?”

Blazette: “Normal? No, it’s not normal at all. I’ve never heard of a Blaze being pregnant before. I don’t even know how it happened.”

[player]: “I see. Well, it’s definitely intriguing.”

Blazette: “Intriguing? More like exhausting. This constant heat and the pressure building inside me is unbearable.”

[player]: “Is there anything I can do to help?”

Blazette: “I highly doubt it. This is something I have to endure on my own. But thanks for asking, I guess.”

{OPTION 4: “You…”}

[player]: “It’s about you…”

Blazette: “If you’re asking me for a date… Forget it… ‘Cause I make it a point not to go with humans who aren’t ‘hot under the collar’.”

[player]: “That’s not what I meant…”

Blazette: “Then, what do you mean?”

[player]: “Well, what’s your parents like?”

Blazette: “Like I’d tell you…”

[player]: (mind) “Normal… Like everyone else…”

Blazette: “Grr…”

[player]: “What about your name?”

Blazette: “I just hope you’re not laughing about it…”

[player]: “It’s not like that actually… I just find that… common… You know…”

Blazette: “Hmph… Whatever you say…”

{AFTER ALL FOUR OPTIONS HAVE BEEN SELECTED}

Blazette: “So, have you satisfied your curiosity or are there more intrusive questions you want to ask?”

[player]: “No, that’s all for now. Thanks for answering.”

Blazette: “Good. Now leave me alone.”

[player]: “Alright, alright. I’ll be on my way.”

(As [player] walks away, they can hear Blazette muttering to herself.)

Blazette: “Humans, always thinking they can just waltz into the Nether and invade our space…”

(The next day…)

[player]: “Whew, that encounter with Blazette was intense. I hope she’s doing alright.”

(As [player] continues exploring the Nether, they come across Blazette laying down on the floor and screaming in pain.)

[player]: “Blazette! What’s wrong?!”

Blazette: “It’s the baby… It’s coming… But it’s too early…”

[player]: “Wait, ‘too early’?! How far along in months are you?!”

Blazette: “S-S-S-Seven months… This hurts so much with a burning womb…” (starts to feel another contraction) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”

[player]: “Hang on, Blazette! I’ll help you!”

([player] rushes over to Blazette and tries to comfort her.)

[player]: “Take deep breaths, Blazette. We need to find a safe place for you to deliver the baby. Is there anywhere nearby?”

Blazette: (gasping) “There…there’s a small cave not too far from here. We need to hurry…”

[player]: “Alright, let’s go.”

([player] helps Blazette up and supports her as they make their way to the cave. Once they reach the cave, [player] helps Blazette settle down and make her as comfortable as possible.)

[player]: “Blazette, I’ll do everything I can to help you through this. Just breathe and focus on staying calm.”

Blazette: (weakly) “Thank you, [player]. I never expected this to happen… I don’t even know if the baby will survive…”

[player]: “We won’t give up, Blazette. We’ll do everything we can to ensure both you and the baby make it through this.”

([player] quickly looks around for anything that can help with the delivery. They spot some soft moss on the cave floor and gently arrange it for Blazette to lie on.)

[player]: “Lie down on this moss, Blazette. It should provide some cushioning.”

(Blazette follows [player]'s instructions and lies down on the moss. She grips [player]'s hand tightly as another contraction hits.)

Blazette: (through gritted teeth) “It’s coming…”

[player]: “Alright, just keep breathing, Blazette. I’m here with you.”

([player] helps Blazette through the delivery, offering encouraging words and support. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the cries of a baby blaze fill the cave.)

[player]: “Blazette, you did it! The baby’s here!”

(Blazette smiles weakly and looks at her newborn baby. [player] gently takes the baby blaze - despite the intense heat emanating from it - and wraps it in Blazette’s cloak.)
