he followed his sister in through the partially deserted town he was meaning to explore, and he was trying not to look around because his sister would get too far ahead of him, he shook his head to tell himself that his mind was wandering too far from the present and he better keep his ears and nose alert, or he’d lose his sister. She was a fast little thing that was for sure, how could she be his twin when she was so much smaller and by far quicker? He knew he had more stamina than her, and her play tactics were fun although a little bruising at times and he played along, he’d been able to nip at her tail only once but that was good enough for him, they soon found themselves on another shore, and he was just awed by this sight in itself. The sea water didn’t bother him, it was the wind that was helping the waves that did but he was preoccupied by the cliffs on this side, it was definitely worth to come back and explore then he bumped right into his sister, who was apparently talking to him, he looked at what she was looking at and saw the massive lighthouse tower, he grinned a wolfish grin, he knew she knew very well, but she didn’t know that he’d already been to one before when they were in Florida. He’d wandered off a little at the time and was rather angry at his sister so when he’d finally been able to show her they were already setting off to the docks to get on the boat, it would have made for a great surprise, but now that he saw this one, it was much better, and well kept it seemed.
Yeah, you know what they are, they are the beacons of boats,
Niro said, he didn’t have to say much more than that, even the meaning would put the word in her head, he walked a little past her,
Let’s go in sis, this is an adventure you’ve been waiting for right?
he barked a few times and cantered toward the lighthouse knowing full well Orin wanted to get there first. And she would, he wouldn’t deny her of that happy beginning. He’d never been inside a lighthouse and wasn’t sure what to expect, but it loomed over them taller and taller, and made him feel so short.
