Blazekit sat in front of an entrance to a strange underground tunnel system, his siblings and Mousekit gathered around him. "I heard that a warrior died here moons ago!" Blazekit said, his voice filled with excitement. "The tunnels collapsed on her."
Applekit and Swiftkit stared down the tunnel in awe. "Is it safe to go in there?" Applekit asked, her voice quivering.
"Of course it is! This was moons ago, and it was rainy and muddy so the earth gave way. It's sunny now!" Blazekit mewed, assuring the party of kits that it was okay to explore here. "So do you guys want to go in?"

Mousekit looked at the other three, "I'd go in if you didn't tell me a warrior died in there!!" he screeched. Mousekit stepped a little closer to the tunnel entrance, the little pebbles felt funny underneath his tiny paws. He was a small kit He flicked his tail and turned to look at Blazekit, "You really wanna' go in there!?" he meowed.

"'Course I do!" Blazekit said, and looked expectantly at his littermates. Applekit looked genuinely curious, and Swiftkit had a hint of fear about him, but that was easily covered up by his own piqued interest. "There's so many tunnels and pathways down there... We could have fun for ages! And it'd take forever for the camp to find us again." Blazekit urged them on.
"Alright, well I guess I'll go.." Applekit said, looking over at Swiftkit, who nodded his agreement. "Lead the way, Blazekit." Applekit said, and then turned to Mousekit. "You can go back to camp if you don't want to come..." she said. She wasn't being mean, she just didn't want to force the kit into doing anything he didn't want to.

Mousekit felt fear build up inside his little belly, "No, no!" he purred, "I'll go! I don't wanna' walk back to camp all alone!" he finished. "Lead the way Blazekit.." Mousekit said quietly.

Blazekit didn't hesitate for a moment before padding into the tunnel. The space would have been a little cramped for a warrior, but for the kits it would be no problem. Eventually, the tunnel opened up into a large space that had several openings to new paths.
"Which one should we take?" Swiftkit mewed to the entire party. There were about five paths going in all different directions. It was impossible to tell which path would take them where. He looked expectantly over to Applekit, who was just looking around the room in awe. There certainly wouldn't be an answer from her.
"How about you Mousekit? Which one do you think we should take?" Blazekit asked, not wanting to make the kit feel left out.

Mousekit carefully stepped into the tunnel, and after walking through a little tunnel, he stepped into a bigger room. There were five paths, who knew where they lead... Mousekit looked over at Blazekit when he heard his name, "Oh, uhmm...let's take this one!" he said. Mousekit walked over to the tunnel he was talking about, it was the one with the widest opening. "ADVENTURE TIME!" he screeched.

Swiftkit turned his gaze to rest on Mousekit. "Calm down. These tunnels seem to echo and any warriors passing by could hear us." he warned, after letting his fur lie down flat. He then turned his gaze to Blazekit. "Lead the way."
Blazekit puffed out his chest. The prideful young tom lead the way through the tunnel that Mousekit had chosen. It lead into a deep chasm with rocks on all sides, of different color, shape and size. "Look at these rocks!" he said and rushed up to one, sniffing it curiously.

"Sorry..." Mousekit mummbled. He didn't mean to. He was just trying to be...more exciting. Mousekit had always been the cautious one...and the smart one. He followed the others into the tunnel he had chosen. He too looked at the rocks in awe. They were all...shiny..."Sparkles..." Mousekit said. He walked to one of the rocks and licked it. "Bleh!" he said, and jumped back.

Applekit warily wandered over to the rocks, Swiftkit at her side. She noticed the marks on the rocks before any of the other cats, obviously. She turned to look at Swiftkit, who seemed to just notice the same thing. "Look at these scores on the wall. They're like cat claws... but they're going sideways!" Applekit said. "What do you think made them?"

Mousekit looked at the scratches on the rocks, he wanted to know what made them... "I'd rather not stick around and find out..." he said, "What if it's a fox! Or a bear! Or something big that'll eat us!!" he exploded. His guard was on high.

Blazekit rolled his eyes as he made his way over to the rock on the way side of the wall that the others were gathered around. "You really think a bear could squeeze down that hole?" he questioned. "And if there was a fox, we'd smell it's stench easily! The only smell down here is earth and dirt. Who knows how old those are..." he pointed out.
Applekit wasn't totally convinced but it didn't matter. Blazekit was right-- they would be able to smell anything that had been down here. The wind traveled through the tunnels (so there had to be more than one entrance) and scents traveled about easily. It only smelled of earth, dirt, and rainwater. Swiftkit seemed to take this answer as well.

Mousekit calmed his nerves a little, and looked at the ceiling of the tunnel. He was intrigued by this whole experiance, but he was still scared out of his tiny ball sac.

"Well, there's nothing more to this room than shiny rocks. Shall we move on?" Blazekit mewed and turned to the two rooms that came next, deciding which one he wanted to go through now. They were both quite mysterious and he felt like his paws would carry him through these tunnels all day and night to figure out everything about them.
Swiftkit trotted to the entrance they had just come in and scored deep marks in the ground. "So we won't get lost." he said when Applekit turned her head in curiosity. He bounded off to where his brother stood between two more tunnels and pointed his tail to the one on the left. "How about that one?" he said, wanting to hurry this along.
"Alright!" Blazekit said, and marched off through the tunnel Swiftkit pointed out. As he walked through the tunnel, he paid no mind to Swiftkit marking their path behind him, dragging his claws across the ground.

Mousekit followed the others. He felt like a little fourth wheel in a way. He didn't think they liked him much... Mousekit, sneezed when some dust flew up his nose, "Sorry..." he whispered. Mousekit looked around. It was kinda dark, but with his KITTY eye site, he could still see.

Applekit went ahead of Swiftkit, not wanting to get in the way of his claw marks he was using to make sure they stayed on the right path. "Mousekit, come up here with me." she said so that the little tom wouldn't scuff up the marks either.
