Although Saul had never been told about treasure and the maps that lead to them, some instinctive excitement about it was rumbling in the boys stomach. He wanted to know what land the map showed, whether it was anywhere they could get to, anywhere they could reach. He wanted to know what was on the piece of paper, what it contained. His excitement was growing and he allowed a tired grin to slip over his lips as Gideon gingerly slipped the rolled up parchment. He knew that neither of them could shift to open it, but his younger brother seemed to do fairly well in biting through the string. As the darker Stormbringer rolled open the paper and held it open with both his paws, Saul peered over his shoulder and was confused by what he say.
A large mass of land was obvious to descern from the blankness around the edges. He didnt know how to read a map, what it meant or where it was. The young male stared at the paper and noted the curve of the lines, marking boundaries he assumed. There appeared to be a bay with a sticky out harbour and Saul was vaguely reminded of their own harbour and bay, the latter of which they stood on now. He didnt make the connection however and continued to stare at the paper. Gideon spoke softly and Saul didnt reply, still captivated by the shapes and lines of the map. He sourly wished he could read right now so they could figure out exactly what it meant. Usually a very calm young male, Saul felt the frustration that was usually alien to him rise up in his throat. However, the voice of his brother made him focus and he looked at the 'X' his brother was referring to.
"I dont know... Maybe there's something there? Do you have any idea where this map represents? Maybe we could go there and see if there's anything by the X?"
He suggested and despite the fact that his limbs had turned to jelly he felt the curiosity prick his conscious. He wanted to follow Gideon, to see what this X was, but he also needed to sleep. Or eat to regain some energy. He took a deep breath, trying to force oxygen through his veins and re-energize himself to set off on their next adventure.
