Chapter 5:
POV: Jordan
I woke up to the sight of Candice treating my wounds. I saw Benjamin pacing back and forth behind her thinking deeply. We were silent as we ate breakfast.
"I have a plan," Candice said.
"Let's hear it," I said.
"First we need about 96 diamonds."
"WHAT?" Benjamin and I shouted. They were the hardest things to find. 96 of them was overkill.
"Then we can make full sets of armor and tools and then enchant them at my place." said Candice.
"It's a long shot getting all those diamonds, but it would be worth it." said Benjamin.
Benjamin made us all iron pickaxes and we tried to find a cave on the island. We found one that led straight down. We jumped onto the sides climbing down the rocky hill until we reached the bottom.
"Okay boys, let the pro show you how it's done," said Candice pushing us aside.
She began mining into the wall and quickly branched out into several lanes. She instructed us on digging in a specific pattern of tunnels and breaks. Soon enough Benjamin found 8 diamonds in the first hour. By the time we got hungry and asked Benjamin for the lunch he had packed we had already gotten 48 diamonds.
We worked hard the rest of the day looking for diamonds. By the time Candice and I turned in we had accomplished our goal. Benjamin stayed up the rest of the night making us our armor and tools.
