If you must know, the title of this fanfic is a play on Starlight Fire, the title of my kinda-WIP book starring dragons. Back when I started to write this, I thought it would be fun to put a Minecraft twist on that title. Hence Cubic Fire.
LOVE it and I can't wait for twenty nine - and yeah, writers block is annoying xD. I have scrapped about three stories because of it... heh heh. Will you pm me when the next chapter(s) is released? I often forget to check on updates on things like this, lol. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Read all chapters in just 2 hours... Why don't you put these to a book? Really, this is wonderful! I love Kir!!

Eventually? I don't like the sound of that. I would prefer something more like... 'when ch29 comes out in a should-be-week-or-so-from-now-but-will-probably-be-like-a-month'. Yeah, hi, it's me, I'm still following this story. ...and a few others. (sorry if I double/triple/quadrouple-post, my internet is acting up)

Wow. O_O This is amazing so far! I just finished chapter 5 then... Its absolutely great!
You put a great amount of detail into the story, it puts a whole picture in your head of what happening!
The start was great! It was different to other Minecraft stories of waking up in a strange place...
I really liked it!
It great so far! I will defiantly be reading more.
I think another person said this, but this could be a book!
I was a little put of by the wall of text at first... But when I started reading I didn't really wan't to stop!
Also, I love your Fallen Kingdom story! Its my fave Minecraft song and it was great reading it.
As promised in the OP, here's how the story would have eventually gone. Put in spoiler tag, just in case you don't want to see it and would rather leave the story unknown.
After the twenty-eighth chapter, Tyron and his friends would eventually head to the city they'd been searching for all that time. Once there, they would be warned of Herobrine's systematic wiping out of each city within Minecraftia, and their search for solutions would be directed towards a library.
The crystal that Tyron picked up in Avi's hut (this was a Starbound reference, by the way) would turn out to be one of four incredibly powerful magical artifacts. When arranged before a portal to the Nether, they would remove any of the Nether's unwanted "growth." This is incredibly important for several reasons. The first is that no living being may enter the Nether in its current state due to toxic materials in the air. (Tyron was able to in previous chapters due to him being in a dream and not physically present.) The second reason is that Herobrine would then be forced to go back to the Nether to rebuild his reinforcements. The third is that it would disrupt the mental state of any Nether-borne monster, resulting in a major blow dealt to Herobrine's forces.
The city comes under assault by a huge amount of undead led by Herobrine himself, but the walls keep them at bay and Tyron manages to escape with Lupi, Blizzard, and Seth. They begin their search for the other three crystals, and Rathina joins them once more. Over the course of their journeys, they narrowly avoid Herobrine several times, and the love interest of the story begins to make itself known. Kir picks up on it immediately. Lupi is rejected by Rathina, who secretly admires Tyron. Tyron admires her as well, but doesn't work up the courage to say anything about it.
When retrieving the final magical artifact, Tyron has another encounter with a dragon. This time it's not under Herobrine's control, and Tyron manages to keep Lupi from murdering it. Touching the dragon reveals a large amount of Tyron Dragoknight's past, and why Herobrine wants to kill him. Tyron was an anomaly that nobody really knows the origin of. He appeared and took rein of the dragons during the Endless Wars, ending the conflict that Herobrine had so enjoyed for its usefulness. Enraged, Herobrine tried to destroy the End. To prevent his success, Tyron had sacrificed himself to save the dragons from total destruction, though accidentally dooming them to the slavery of Herobrine. He learns about the Respawn, which is how he was transported to Minecraftia lacking his memory.
After this enlightenment, Tyron begins to feel more anger than ever at Herobrine for the chaos he caused and the slavery of the dragons. They make their way back to the previous city. They manage to get within the walls and find a Nether portal. A great flash illuminates the city as the artifacts work their magic, and the assault on the walls grinds to a stop as Herobrine is forced to go back to his home dimension and survey the damage.
Lupi takes a deep breath and charges into the portal, dragging Tyron with him. He tells Blizzard to stay. Once inside, Lupi navigates with surprising expertise. They reach a crumbling fortress before he's finally willing to tell his story; the long-awaited reason why he hates Herobrine so much.
Years ago, when he was a boy, Lupi's small mountainside village was attacked by a vicious monster- a Hydra. Lupi was the only one to survive, and survive he did. He, using the wolf gauntlets he so proudly displays now, was able to jam a spear into the Hydra's heart. Herobrine proceeded to essentially spit in his face by knocking him unconscious and sending him off somewhere, never to return and pay his respects to his fallen family and village. His knowledge of the Nether is due to previous short expeditions before Herobrine really started to take power again.
They stumble upon Herobrine's ruined Nether castle, but do not find the god of chaos himself. They do, however, find a portal to leave. It's a massive structure, and Lupi realizes it's wired to connect to the portal in the city. Too late, they realize they've been drawn into a trap. Herobrine appears, and the Hydra from Lupi's past arises from the lava of the Nether. Tyron prepares to fight with Lupi, but is stunned when Lupi tears off his necklace, a glittering ender eye, and throws it to him, shoving him towards the portal. Despite Tyron's objections, Lupi pushes him through and faces the Hydra, alone and confident. From the overworld, Tyron watches in horror as the portal is closed; destroyed from the other side.
Vowing not to let Lupi's sacrifice go without recognition, Tyron leaves to search for the only help he knows is strong enough: the dragons. Blizzard the wolf stays behind to sit at the portal, ever-patient for his master to return.
Rathina, Seth, Tyron and Kir venture forth into the chasms of the underground, supplied with the best supplies they can get from the city. After many close encounters, they stumble upon a stronghold, split in two by a chasm. They manage to bridge the gap and enter the portal, which thankfully had already been completed.
Once in the End, they face what Tyron had been fearing about: the method Herobrine was using to enslave the dragons of the End. While none of the actual dragons are present, a massive, white-eyed dragoness dubbed the Enderdragon sure is. Using crystals atop obsidian pillars, she is nearly unstoppable. After a spectacular struggle that results in Seth sustaining life-threatening injuries, the dragon is defeated. All around them, the once-enslaved dragons being to take form, lumbering over to meet their saviors.
The dragons come in two general forms: smaller ones with solid reddish scales, and larger ones that seemed to be patterned after various nebulas in the sky. A specific green-colored one, calling himself Glowstar, personally introduces himself to Tyron, bowing before him as the only one to truly recognize the Dragoknight of old. The red dragons, apparently native to Minecraftia, leap through the newly-opened portal to their homeland, but Glowstar is the only one of the starry dragons to follow. He carries on his back the three adventurers- Seth being fully healed under their magical abilities.
Upon arrival, Glowstar locates Herobrine's final outlook: a massive fortress guarded by what remains of his undead army. Seth, Rathina, and Glowstar take it upon themselves to lead the red dragons into battle against the undead army, while Tyron and Kir prepare themselves for the final battle with Herobrine.
Until now, Tyron had only been able to use the ice and stone magics he had discovered previously. While his efficiency and mastery of them has much improved, he realizes while fighting Herobrine that it just isn't enough. Herobrine shatters his spells and, in a display of godlike supremacy, draws two crackling scythes of dark Bluestone. Kir, composed of light Bluestone, is enraged by this and kicks into a higher gear than Tyron knew it was capable of. Kir's blade sets alight in blazing white fire, and their battle begins in earnest.
Herobrine, in a final and desperate attack, dives down at Tyron with both scythes. Tyron catches them on the blade's crossguard and stares Herobrine in the face, becoming the first and only living soul to do so without a hint of fear in his eyes. Herobrine screams at him, "I am a god!" Tyron smiles and murmurs back to him a single sentence: "Gods don't bleed." After this, a single, swift motion sends Herobrine's scythes into the floor and Tyron's sword through his heart. Herobrine disappears in a flash of fire and Tyron walks triumphantly out of the castle, greeted by a victorious army of dragons, a happy Seth, affectionate Rathina, and a hopeful sunrise.
OT: Great story, and I look forward to seeing how this all unfolds...

Minor update: made synopsis easier to read. I might revisit to try and fix the spoiler tags in the OP sometime later.
EDIT: actually I just revisited it and wow holy crap what happened to that formatting
I'll try to fix that ASAP.
