Sophia and Maya had finally cleared the maze inside the underground area the wolves built. However, the couple was still super motivated and decided to explore the place so more. After the maze, the two found a path that led them into a long and dark tunnel, which they chose to follow for a while.
"Ohhh!" Once they finally reached the end of it, the couple found themselves in yet another cave. Still, this one had nothing in common with the previous one with the maze. It was a good bit smaller but much more impressive nonetheless, and Maya let out a sound of admiration. "I've never seen so many glowworms at once!" They found the cave with the underground lake the wolves ntioned, but there was sothing much more eye-catching. The ceiling above the crystal-clear water was filled with an uncountable amount of tiny blue lights illuminating the cave. It almost looked like a starry night sky if not for the many plants and web-like strings hanging from the ceiling. "So pretty!"
"Uhh... T-Those countless blue dots are i-insects...?" Sophia's expression was as far away from admiration as it was possible.
"What else should it be?"
"H-How am I supposed to know?! Glowy cave magic?" The tiger would've liked this explanation much more.
"Nope. Thousands, if not millions of insects."
"I-I see..." Sophia glanced at the ceiling again while a shudder ran down her spine. "W-Woah... T-They're m-massive, too!" As if on cue, so of the glowworms descended from the ceiling, and flew around in the cave. Naturally, they ca pretty close to Sophia's face, too, because why wouldn't they. "Uuh..." Her expression changed even more as she squeezed Maya's hand she was holding.
"Don't tell you're scared of them, too?!" The cat-girl rembered that she wasn't good with any sort of insects and the likes.
"I-I'm not scared!" She didn't sound overly convincing while her ears started to nervously dart all over the place. The tiger's tail also looked all puffed up while it had wrapped itself around her leg. Her inner cat had betrayed her.
"Really now?" Maya only stared at her.
"I-It can't be helped, okay?! She caved in. "It's not like I'm doing that on purpose..."
"But it looks so pretty!" The cat looked at the beautifully illuminated ceiling created by the blue light of the glowworms that was even reflected by the lake's surface.
