Alright guys; this is short, but I figured that since I haven't updated in almost a year I should give you something. Not much to say except that I don't own Merlin; and I hope you enjoy the story. Please R&R, and thank you all for supporting me in my writing.

Previously:

They were playing a game like hide and seek, with Falcon and Wolf as the seekers. The other trainees in their age group would go hide in the woods and the two seekers would have to find and immobilize everyone else, while avoiding the traps that the Masters had set up in the woods. They had to find one more person when Wolf tripped on some sort of wire that made the ground crumble from beneath them.

"How did the Masters manage this!?"

They ended up in what looked like a long tunnel, the only light coming from the hole they fell through. It was about ten feet down, and with no grips on the walls and both of them were too short to stand on top of each other to reach where they fell through. After trying this last stunt and having Wolf fall off his shoulders, Falcon suggested they try going in one direction to see how far the tunnel went.

"Why would we do that?" Wolf questioned.

"Well, what else would we do? We're obviously not making any progress staying here. Besides, what if we find a way out?" Falcon rebutted.

"Well I don't think it's a good idea. Who knows what kinds of creatures are down here?" The other boy pressed on, "We could run into wildern, or worse; I've heard the caves of Balor have gigantic spiders that can take a grown man out with one bite! It's better to stay here until someone comes looking for us."

"That could take days! Didn't you say the last game of hide and seek here took a month to find everyone? It's already been three weeks. It could be even longer before they send anyone out looking, not to mention they have no idea where we ended up. I'm going to try and find a way out, so are you coming or not?" Falcon could see the other boy debating whether to follow him or not, but eventually Wolf gave a sharp nod.

"I suppose it is the best option, considering the circumstances. But keep close to me. I've been here longer, so I have more experience fighting. The masters would skin me alive if I let you die down here." Wolf had a sharp, calculating look in his eyes. Falcon recognized what that meant. It meant he was planning and running through situations in his head. "There's a draft coming from this direction, that means there's an opening somewhere over there. That's our best bet; but we'll have to be careful. I don't think we're alone down here." He said ominously.

Again, thank you all for reading my story. Thanks so much for all the reviews. See you next chapter!
