Favorite Place to Explore and Why:
Tau has traveled the world at least once over, exploring all seven continents and all their glory. From the wide ranging landscapes of in Africa, to the ruins of lost civilizations, to the frozen tundras in the north. However, his over all favorite places to explore are underground caves and caverns.

He loves the dark and mystery that they hold. His favorites are ones with underground rivers flowing through. He loves paddling through the cool, damp atmosphere. The chill of the air and the exhilaration of the danger that caves present make his life seem full.

Some of his favorite caves include theCango Caves in South Africa, the Reed Flute Cavesin Guanxi, China,Lascaux Caves in France, and the Glass-worm Caves and Caves of the Swallows both located in Mexico. Each of these caves have their own separate and unique charm to Tau that makes him want to visit these places again and again.

Tau is always on the lookout for new and exciting places to visit, especially newly discovered cave systems. He is always one of the first to volunteer to go beneath the ground. He is always willing to risk it all; his health, his life, to see something never before seen and to experience the adrenaline rush of literally diving into the darkness and not knowing what awaits him on the other side.

Journal Entry 27

Dated September 22nd 2014

It is 6:15 in the morning of the Autumn Equinox and we have traveled far to reach this place at this time. We walked slowly and carefully through the damp and the dark. We had to use as minimum light as possible if we were going to capture what we were here to see. The floor is made of limestone and so it was very very slick due to the moisture in the cave.

Our little excavation group knows of the dangers that exist in the pitch black. We took all of the standard precautions as we made our way to the center of the cave. Miles after miles in the dark, they knew they had reached their destination with a faint stream a soft blue of light the shone like a beam inside the darkness.

It was still early, but our time was waning fast as the sunrise was nigh. We quickly hurried to set up our equipment, making sure to do so swiftly, yet carefully. We then turned out all our lights and now we had to play the waiting game. We sat silently in the dark, watching the colors coming from above change ever so slowly from blues to purples to pinks and finally to a gold.

Suddenly a golden beam shot through the opening as the sun rose high enough. The stream of light hit a giant crystal below it. It angled and refracted to the hundreds and thousands of crystals that covered the cavern that we all sat in. The room filled with all the colors you could imagine and just drowned the entire area with spectrum lights.

We were all speechless at the wonder that we beheld. Who knows how many or how few have seen this site before us or how many eyes would ever see it again. We took our photographs a film, we wanted to capture every moment to share it with the world.

The moment passed as quickly as it came. We packed up our gear and headed back the path we came, walking out into the bright sunlit morning, feeling satisfied with our adventure, though as always, I cannot wait to see what challenges and escapades a new sunrise will bring.

Signed
TAU

Favorite Place to Explore and Why:
Ahote's dream place to go exploring in is the mysterious sand dunes and runes of Egypt.
he has always dreamed of standing in the shadow of the stunning, colossal monuments
of Ancient Egypt. He wants to know what it would feel like to walk across a sea of sand
with nothing but the heat beating down on his back and not a sole in sight to bother him.
he wants to look into the face of the great Sphinx of Giza and walk along beside the
crumbling walls of the pyramids. He wants to enter the amazing halls of the Gates of
the Kings and smell the sent of age and dust that now call such a brilliant and enduring
place home. Where else would you find such amazing creations that still stun those who
lay eyes on them even after thousands of years. And after he has endured and adored the
heat of the endless dessert sands and slopes he wants soak his coat in the salty waves of
the Red Sea knowing that although he can see land on both sides that he has truly touched
the ocean. Who wouldn't want to visit such a beautiful and interesting place! It is in this
place that he feels most at rest. Amid the silence and stillness of tomes and ruins Ahote
thinks he can truly find himself and understand why he never feels like he is in the right
place. No one to judge him and no one to bother him but the wordless faces of hiero-
glyphics. speaking of which he likes the colourful pictures and wishes he knew how to
read the interesting letters.

you are standing by the bus stop, waiting for your ride, when a stranger walks up to you. they have a glazed expression, and seem to be in some kind sleep-walk. you make the mistake of asking him something, a random question that popped into your head. what was your favorite place? he looks at you, and blinked. before you know it, he has launched into a seemingly improvised speech.

""my favorite place to explore would be an empty auditorium or theater. no, not the type which have just a TV screen and a couple row of chairs. turn your mind to think gold plated pillars, archways, and elegance. the sound of echos bouncing off the walls make me feel like im surrounded by spirits; everything is just soothing, and i could easily fall asleep any minute. that is, of course, if i wanted to. i cant understand why anyone would just pass through without at least taking a look at the flawless design of the interior. to me, if seems nearly impossible for people to build with such perfection. the whole auditorium just so vast, you could get lost in it and never come out. but why would you want to, anyways? even if i tried for a year, i probably wont be able to think of a single negative thing about it. it seems like heaven, everything anyone could ever ask for.""

he says everything with lots of emotion, as if he were recalling the best day in his life. you check your watch. the bus would be coming soon, and you had to get to you location as soon as possible. but still, it wouldnt do good to be rude. impatiently, you listen to him some more, tapping your foot on the ground and saying ok and cool and random points.

"oh and also! the smells. its thoroughly hard to explain. but ill try my best, because after all, who wouldnt be on the edge of their seat, eager to listen? it smells of something a bit like flowers, but with a bit of a coconut-ish accent? or maybe like lotion, yeah lotion, something similar to that? how long do you think it would take to build something like that? a couple years? a month? what if..."

you hear him drone on about random things, totally off subject. the bus pulls to a stop, and people are getting on. you take a step away, but he reaches out to grab your shoulder. you brush his hand away, because you /really/ needed to get going. he stopped in what you think mid sentence, and frowns. you feel sorry for him, being the caring person you (hopefully) are. the bus drives away, and you soon regret staying. time passed by at snail rate, and finally your patience cracks and you walk away, not looking back at him.

N a m e : Tsubaki, or Tsu for short because one simply cannot be wasting time in a thick, hot bog or where the air is thin on a mountain!

G e n d e r: Male

F a v o r i t e P l a c e t o E x p l o r e a n d W h y:
Cold, desolate, and harsh, the last place you would expect to find a Kiamara based on the savanna is in the wilderness of the Siberian forest! With a vast expanse of snow, bone chilling winds, and predators adapted to survive at all costs, Siberia certainly doesn't look like the type of place any Kia in their right mind would want to voluntarily go to, but that's just the thing. Tsubaki adores the challenge that is such a cold and dangerous region, and he loves to be able to prove that fear shouldn't rule someone's life, because in the end it only holds us back. Always adorned in the fluffy "wolf pelt" cap, the artificial fur white flecked with black and varying shades of gray, and tough, thick gray gloves to protect the soles of his paws, this young Kiamara is always ready for the challenge of surviving out in the wild for a few days. One could certainly call that a survivalist instead of just an explorer, but to Tsu they are two peas in the same pot and he has a love for both of them. Even though most of the animals in the Siberian forest are predators, he doesn't seem to mind going out on his own with only a little survival pack strapped onto his back and his knowledge of survival - not that he doesn't always have some way to communicate with civilization. Out of all the animals, predators, prey, omnivores, scavengers, and decomposers, Tsubaki would have to say that his absolute favorite creature he's encountered in the forest is and more than likely always will be the Musked Ox. Why he likes this animal? Even Tsubaki has yet to provide the answer for himself, but there's just something about those big beasts that makes him smile.
1 E x t r a:
The wind ruffled his fur, knocking his hair into his eyes and making the young, much less experienced Kiamara curse softly under his breath, vibrant and dark green eyes watching as the little cloud of fog lifted and dispersed in the cool evening air. Behind the youth, an even smaller Kiamara with a pelt much brighter than his own whined softly like the small child that he was, and green eyes briefly met an almost ebony pair. "Tsu, this is a really bad idea. Momma's going to get upset if I'm not home soon, plus we're not supposed to be h- look! The sun's setting, we have to start heading home," Carson pleaded, not trusting his big brother to come home within a reasonable hour and at the same time far too scared to start walking back to their home by himself. With another little, much more impatient whine he snagged Tsubaki's tail between his teeth and tugged. His older brother only gave a disapproving grunt in response and carried on, black plaid scarf covering the soft baby fur that protected the pale flesh of his neck. In the distance, a cat yowled for someone to let it inside the house and scratched at either a back or front door. Carson shifted from one foot to the other, the winter air getting settled and feeling as if it were filling his bones and weighing them down. The sky was beginning to turn from bright blue to a deep, rich shade of violet and the sun was disappearing way too quickly for his comfort. Tsubaki pressed on, unphased by his brother's uneasiness and rush to get back to their warm bed shared with their mother. He was looking for something specific, standing on his back legs upon a gigantic pile of items long forgotten by the people that once cherished them the most. Gritting his teeth, one almost numb paw felt around a made almost naturally by the disposed items, one of the key ones being a television with a very large back, and his tail nearly flicked, but Carson's grip on it managed to keep it still. Had they been told a lie? Had the older Kias really done this to them? Feeling around but losing a little hope at that thought, his round ears began to flatten to his head, but he kept searching for their very first feathers.

Carson belongs to me and is my first, and so far only, Kia.
