*Navigation, Firefly lake
They had only just arrived, and already he was displeased. Eniko looked around with narrowed yellow eyes, water dripping from his fawn coloured coat. It was very very dry here, he felt like he was choking on the air. The heat pounded down across his wet fur, and he flopped to his rump as he gazed about. This would not be good for his asthma. He turned to look at his canine companion, wondering if his guard was thinking the same thing. He tried to hide his condition as best he could, but with the air quality here he knew that he would struggle for awhile. The little prince would have to take it slow if he wanted to get anything done without falling over to have a fit. He sighed, standing back to his paws and shaking out his fur. Hopefully he would be able to get used to the climate here, this may have to be their new home. Eniko was tired of the constant wandering, although he knew that it was out of necessity. His bloodthirsty brother was out to get him to claim the throne, and now that they had been gone so long he had no doubt that their father had past. Kaahi was most likely ruling the kingdom now, and what a scary place that would be. Without saying anything to Phantom, he started to walk further inland. It seemed like a rather quiet place for the moment, but with the noonday sun at full blast they might be in hiding. Licking his dry lips, he longed for fresh water. Tipping his head upwards, he sniffed at the dry air. Eniko nearly choked on it, a soft wheeze squeezing out of his damaged lungs. Hoping that the dog didn't hear him, he took off at a nice trot. There had to be water around here somewhere... He walked until he could feel the familiar tightness in his chest, slowing down as he crested a small hill. Forcing himself to pause, he acted like he was surveying the land from his small vantage point. At last, he spotted a rather large lake. Excitement bubbled up in his belly as he once again licked his chops, but the spotted man forced himself to walk down to the lakes edge. By the time he felt the cool water on his toes, his breath was pushing its way out of his contracting lungs. Trying to force air into his lung failed, and he struggled to do so. A muffled gasp left his maw, and his ears tipped against his skull. This would no doubt bring worry out of the German shepherd towards him, and he knew that he would most likely have a lecture coming. Trying to play it all off, he dipped his head down and lapped up a sip of the cool and refreshing water. It almost burnt going down his sore throat, and he suddenly craved the sweet honey that helped ease the pain. Swallowing hard against the sharp pain, he finally gave up on hiding it. Eniko was pushing himself already. A loud wheeze sounded from his maw, his head hanging and almost brushing against the earth. His legs shook as he fought to bring enough air in. Ugh, curse these weak lungs of his! Cause I'm paper-thin and you, you make me whole again "SPEAK" |
As Eniko's guard and protector, Phantom can enter any thread no matter how it is marked.
