Gideon seemed determined that the map resembled Dahlian terratory closely and in his tired state Saul was happy to believe that it was a map of the area they were in. His gaze was distracted one final time by the dark bulk of land just out to sea before he turned back to the map and tried to see what his brother was seeing. Maybe it was the fatigue with which he carried his body that his mind made his eyes blur and he rocked slowly back and forward. He was okay for a little while- perhaps long enough to get home before the exhaustion took over his body. He was nearing the state he had arrived in and that vulnerability scared him. Gideon's voice pulled him back and he took a deep breath, allowing the oxygen to soothe his tired muscles. They would go home soon and he would rest. But for now, Gideon was off on a treasure hunt and Saul was not going to be left behind.
Green eyes widened as he saw a tower rising from the sand. He imagined in his mind that this tower was pretty close to the X that had been marked on the map. The tower wasn't very tall and it had been obscured from their veiw by a large sand dune. As they neared, Saul spotted a door at its base. On the assumption that this was the X on the map, Saul padded slowly forward. His paws were braced heavily in the sand and he walked with caution, hoping that nothing was going to go wrong this time as it had done in the forest. He didnt want to go in there without his brother, but he also didnt fancy revealing this insecurity. Hearing his brothers tones, Saul glanced back at his darker sidekick.
"I'm pretty sure this tower is the reason for the X. Maybe we should go in and see whats in there?"
He suggested, unable to keep the excitement from his voice. His tired tail flapped softly back and forward and with a tremble Saul perched atop the sand dune, unable to hold his weight up for long. This had better be a short visit to the tower, else Saul was likely to collapse from exhaustion.
