…and just like that the race began. Enlil took one look at the gaping mouth of the cave, taking a breath before plunging into the darkness. But somewhere along the way, his heavy breathing in his ears, he got lost. Suddenly it was incredibly dark and he couldn’t see back the way he came anymore… Little did Enlil know he had branched off from the main path, heading deeper into the mine and finding himself in a place where he couldn’t see immediately set the young one into a panic.

He could hear Ramsay’s voice echoing throughout the cave… and the child gave a low whimper. He didn’t know where it was coming from exactly… and he was scared. He swallowed hard, turning this way and that quickly as the cool stone clicked under his claws.

“H-hey…” Enlil called, his voice wavering though he willed it not to. “I… I t-think I’m… lost…” His ears pinned to the back of his head, starting to head off in a random direction that happened to be even deeper into the mine shaft. It was getting harder to breathe too… though whether from lack of air or his own fear he didn’t know.
