The puppy seemed to have no concerns about the cliffs, but Wayne still moved carefully and kept an eye on her. Were she to stray now, she would be called back with a firmer bark than before, and he had no qualms about dragging her by the tail away from a dangerous ledge. Hopefully she had the common sense to avoid such dangers; he was in no condition to be rescuing her form anything right now.
It probably would have been faster to clamber up over some of the stones, but he took a longer path, one that wound through the cliffs. He tasted salt when he licked his lips, and the river was ever-present as background noise. Eventually, the ground he tread became marshy. His tail wagged, and he woofed for Adelle to come to his side as they followed the increased vegetation.
The three Tears fell before them, water dropping into each pool from the source above it. Someone better at climbing might be able to scale them to see the river, but Wayne was content with enjoying the spray from the cascades and watching them for a moment. He grinned and nodded at Adelle. “There ya go. Took a while, but we found it.” He came over to the edge of the lowest pool and let his feet dangle in, although he was surprised to find something bump against it. Withdrawing, he laughed. “More fish,” he remarked, although the one in question was moving only languidly; it had probably fallen from the river above or been washed in from the ocean during a storm. It looked like the waves would have no trouble crashing against this point when the weather was fierce.
