The Labyrinth- A minecraft creepypasta

IMPORTANT! THIS IS PART 1 OF A MULTI-PART STORY!Recently, the game of Minecraft got a major update, and one that changed the game hugely. Update 1.18/1.18.2 (a.k.a Caves and Cliffs) came out on December 9, 2021 and changed the way the world generated, added bigger mountains, bigger caves + cave biomes, and deepened the world. Players rejoiced when this update came out because the Minecraft community had been begging to add a cave update. Thus, we all welcomed it with open arms, and instantly loved what the new caves had in store for us. 
But are they all what they seem?
My encounter with an unusual cave happened on January 12, 2022. 
I was playing on my hardcore Minecraft world like normal. I was wandering around in a forest, gazing at the beauty of the game, when I spotted a huge opening in the side of a large hill. (The hill might've been called a mountain before 1.18, but because of the new generation it's just a hill.) I climbed up to the opening and inside, I saw a truly gorgeous Lush Cave. (One of the new cave biomes added in 1.18) It was nothing new, I'd been playing Caves and Cliffs for a while, but the sight of them always stunned me. 
I had been to the End several times, and my most recent time I acquired one of my most prized possessions: my Elytra. I fished through my inventory to find it, plus my fireworks, and equipped the wings. I took a deep breath of clear, cool cave air, and jumped down into the cave. The feeling of plummeting lasted only for a moment before the Elytra caught me and lifted me up. I launched a firework and instantly sped up, absolutely flying through the cavern. 
I turned left and saw another opening in the ground. I dived down without knowing if I'd smash into a wall, plunge into cold water, or continue flying. To my relief, I kept on flying and when I opened my eyes, I saw that I'd entered an even bigger cave, this time full of Deepslate instead of Moss and Glowberry vines. A flash of red caught my eye and when I looked right, I could see a giant vein of Redstone ore on the other side of the cave. Excited, I launched another firework rocket and turned to mine the Redstone ore. 
When I landed next to the vein, I whipped out my Netherite Pickaxe and began mining. When I'd finished, I remembered some diamond ore I'd seen in the lush cave and jumped up, launching a rocket and propelling myself back up into the opening that led to the lush cave. But oddly, when I got to the place where the opening had been, all I saw was a bigger deepslate cavern, with no lush cave. 
I dismissed this and realized I must've just flown farther down the cave and lost my way. When I had that out of my mind, I brought my focus back to the new cavern in front of me, and what I saw made me really excited: right there, smack-dab in the center of the cave was an amethyst geode, with some of the side cut out. I eagerly launched another rocket and raced towards the geode. 
I landed inside and took out my pickaxe, mining as many shards as I could find. I ran around the geode, my footsteps ringing out notes on the mineral, so that in my frenzy, the song of the geode put me in sort of a trance. When I was done, I had mined about thirty shards and even a few blocks. I stepped out of the geode, and what I saw surprised me. When I had flown into the geode, I was in a deepslate cave, but coming out, I was in yet another lush cave. Confused, I walked around the geode to check if it was just the side, but sure enough, I was in a whole new cave. 
Okay, I thought. This can't just be a coincidence. I've found two new caves in places the original ones should be found. 
I was definitely unsettled. And, as if the cave was reading my emotions, a cave sound rang out. I jumped, but then realized that this wasn't any cave sound I'd heard, and I'd heard all of them, even the ones for the new update. This one sounded like a growling. Not the one cave sound where an Enderman is growling, but it sounded like a beast was growling in the depths. 
I am so done with this cave! I thought, whipping out my pickaxe. I climbed a pillar up to the roof and went to mine out of the cave. I made a lot of progress, and just when I thought I'd made it to the surface, I popped out into an opening. But it wasn't outside, it was another cave tunnel. 
Maybe it will lead me to the surface? I wondered. I followed it and it gradually led upwards. I was excited when I saw dirt up above ahead, and I grabbed my shovel, getting ready to mine out the soil. But right as my spade scraped the bottom of the dirt block, I felt myself falling. I looked down and saw I had fallen into a giant hole in the middle of the tunnel. But I hadn't seen it because my eyes were on the dirt. When I looked down, I could see the cave I was previously in, the one with the geode in the lush cave, but what I was seeing, I couldn't believe.
