The Unexpected Journey

The Terrible Tunnel

Howdy pardeners!

Another day of confusion commin up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can I come with you and help?"

"Hmmm... I haven't done this in a long time. But yes, you may come with me."

The games keeper nods, then stops.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure if I'm ready, but if you want to come with me, we better do it now."

You nod your head. You follow the wizard through a maze of corridors and through secret tunnels. After an hour you reach the sorcerer's quarters. The games keeper enters, and you follow. You step into a large room with a large table. There are six chairs around the table, all of which are empty.

You walk around the table, admiring the beautifully carved chairs. There is a trap door in the floor. You walk over to it and pull at it, but it doesn't give.

"The cell is underground. Down there." The games keeper points down into the darkness.

"Is that where my siblings are?"

"Yes, it's a nice room. I spent a long time carving it out myself. The food is down there too."

You nod and look around.

"I guess this would be the kitchen. Can I speak to them before we leave?"

"Oh yes, you may. I'll go get them now."

The games keeper leaves and you hear some growling and hissing noises. You walk over to the trap door and address the hissing. You pull the door open and walk down the dark stairs.

There is a long tunnel with dirt, rocks and roots clumped on the ground. At the end is a small square room, lit with torches. You can see two iron cages, one next to the other.

"Hello?"

You hear growling and hissing, but no reply. You look in the first iron cage and see a large, black, cat like creature.

"Awwww, kitty." (STUPID!)

The cat hisses and jumps on you biting and clawing at you. You yell out in pain and fall to the floor. The cat bites your arm, but you did not loose too much blood.

You look at the other cage and see figures huddled in the corner. The next cage has a large, black, figure in it's corner. It looks like a cross between a bear and a man. An awful smell comes from the cage.

Yay, another chapter done (that was sarcasm by the way)

Trust me, it gets worse.
