Chapter 5: Preparing for Battle
Steve had his iron pickaxe in hand and a bundle of torches at the ready as he started
mining. Pigphelas stood guard at the foot of the mountain as Steve carved into the rock and
made his way diagonally down, leaving steps behind him so that he could easily make his
way back up again. He put a torch on the wall every seven blocks or so.
The light at the entrance of the mineshaft died away as Steve cut deeper into the
roots of the mountain. He knew that diamonds were found only at the deepest levels, and
even then only rarely. Steve had never found a diamond before, and now he needed
enough to make a sword and a full suit of armor. “I might be down here a while,” said Steve
to the darkness.
