Chapter 6 - Seeking Sky

I quickly checked my inventory. I had a Sharpness V diamond sword and five eyes of ender. There were also some other useless pieces of junk, such as rotten flesh and saplings, but Darren's inventory was relatively clear. 

"Well, it's daytime now, so there's no point looking for any endermen," Landon said. "Wanna go mining?" 

"Sure," I said. I didn't have a pick, so we went back to a small hut where I picked up a diamond pick enchanted with Fortune III and Unbreaking II. I had no idea where to go, so I just followed Landon to a nearby cave. Soon we were at diamond level, and we started strip mining. 

"Dude, look what I found!" Landon cried, and I tracked his name tag through the torchlit tunnels. Eventually I found him, and saw what he had uncovered. 

"An abandoned mineshaft," I breathed. "And we're at diamond level too." 

For some reason, I had the worst luck with abandoned mineshafts. In my personal survival worlds, I had only ever found a couple, and they had all been quite high up. Darren seemed to be luckier with spawns than me. Then again, he had travelled a long way from his spawn in the episodes of his survival series that I had watched so far. 

"Let's explore!" Landon yelled, and charged into the mineshaft. A few seconds later, he came running back, being chased by a huge crowd of cave spiders. "Never mind!" he squealed. 

I saved him from the spiders with my diamond sword, and we both laughed. "Let's try again, but together this time," I grinned. 

The trip through the mines was uneventful. We slaughtered a few spiders, found a couple of chests, but there wasn't really anything special in them. Then Landon said, "We should stop now. It's been nearly fifteen minutes." 

"Okay. That wraps up this episode of Minecraft survival with Pixel," I said. "Don't forget to leave a like, and maybe even subscribe! See ya!" 

I closed the recording software, and thought about how I had just recorded an entire episode of footage for Darren. Would his fans like me? I didn't have a clue. I would only know when I uploaded the episode. 

"Do you wanna derp around on some servers for a bit?" Landon asked. I didn't really have anything better to do. 

"Suppose so," I said, and returned to the multiplayer screen. "Whose server do you want to go on?" 

"Have you heard about the Hive's new gamemode?" Landon asked. "It's called Hide and Seek." 

"I love that game!" I cried. I quickly logged on to the Hive and was startled to see a barren landscape. Then I realised that since I didn't have that many subscribers, I didn't have a premium account. It had been a while since I had last seen the Hive without any people. That was when I was a small YouTuber, just starting out in the world of the internet. But now, I was reliving that, and I certainly didn't miss those days. 

"Since you haven't got premium, tell me when you join a server and I'll join it as well," Landon said. 

"Sure," I said. I found a server still in the lobby and right-clicked the sign. However, it didn't let me join. For a moment, I was confused, but then I remembered that I wasn't VIP. I would have to hurry if I wanted to join a server. 

Ten minutes later, I was finally in. Pixel joined shortly after. I felt slightly jealous of him, but I guessed that that was what normal people thought of premium users. Soon the game started, loading up the Hotel map. I groaned when I saw what type of block I was. 

"What are you?" I asked Landon. "I'm a freakin' block of coal." 

Landon laughed. "Unlucky. I'm a beacon."
