Lore of the Champions
The Beginning of the End
By Jacob the Guide
...
From the beginning of time, life had learned to survive and adapt. And if it didn't, then it would meet it's inevitable demise. This is true, especially for the advanced species who had to endure the harshness of the world they created from their own pride and negligence, only to soon become not only feral in behavior, but shameful of their own existence.
...
The End was not always the horrific wasteland that it is today, where islands float over nothing, and below is a great void in which one could possibly spend eternity falling. Such is not confirmed, but I think you would understand where my hypothesis would come from. Some say that the End Realm was much like ours. An alternate universe where the human race had become nothing more than a whisper. But evidence of this suggests the dominant race was not actually human, but that the men of ender were of a different form which possessed the ability to teleport, and whom were strong enough, and intelligent enough to lift pieces of terrain, and use it for advanced technology.
My theory comes mostly from the shulkers, as it seems that shulkers are more machine than biological. That isn't to say they are not alive, but that they are created using biological components of a being long extinct, now only living to serve one purpose: to defend strongholds using gravity defying projectiles, pulled from it's own body. 
It is told that a slime splits apart it's own core in order to reproduce asexually. I believe, but cannot confirm, that this may be the same particular case. But instead of using parts of the embryo, or the core, to reproduce into new life, it would use it as projectile. And when the embryo becomes too small to split apart, the shulker will hide inside it's hard, protective shell to regenerate the core. Again, this is only speculation, but it is not too far fetched to believe that the shulker is the ender variant of a slime.
Another reason for me to believe the endermen to be the remnant of a once intelligent species, is the giant ships you may find floating over end cities. How flying end ships manage to stay afloat for so long, I have no clue. I have also found that end ships are a good place to find elytra. 
Elytra resemble a pair of insectoid wings, but behave more as a glider. Why the endermen would need such a device is beyond me, as if teleportation wasn't enough. Perhaps the endermen needed a way to transport themselves farther distances. The elytra is perfect for that, but only for a skilled pilot. Apparently, diving while wearing elytra, and then pulling up can allow the user to maintain a steady flight pattern. Pull up wrong, however, and you lose it. 
But landing using an elytra is especially difficult. I should know. I've attempted the elytra first hand, and ended up landing in a way that would be fatal to any normal human. Luckily, my immortality allows me to live another day to discover more about the End. On a side note, the end is also full of Endermites. They are similar to silverfish in our world, and they're just as pesky.
You may be wandering what happened that ended this world? Well, it is theorized that the ender dragons are responsible for such an act, but as far as I'm concerned, even dragons couldn't get that far. Still, it would not be enough, given their initial strength. My belief is that the harm was self inflicted by the inhabitants of the End, rather than natural disaster.
What could the endermen have created to turn their own world into a bottomless pit of despair and shamefulness. I say shamefulness because I cannot think of any other reason the endermen would only be hostile, simply because someone looked at them. Shame can come in many forms, and could be used as a justification for some kind of strange behavior. But why do the islands float? End stone is one of the heaviest materials I have ever lifted. So what makes it float? Perhaps I may never know.
If I come up with anything else to explain the tragic end of... the End, I suppose I'll write it in a second entry on this topic. But for now, I'm just going to leave it here. I do believe however, that the ender dragons deserves their own entry. Before I end this entry, I should leave a reminder on how to actually make it to the end in case I forget. There is a portal deep in a stronghold underground. Requires twelve eyes of ender to open. Can be located using eyes of ender themselves. Bring plenty. Eye of ender is made from one ender pearl from an enderman, and one blaze powder, made from a blaze rod, collected from a blaze in the Nether. Easy.
