Dancing In The Sunlight!

Anubis, such a dismal name for such a mellow soul, but his mother had always had a thing for mythology, her stories were one of the few things the male remembered about his family. They had been amazing parents, he couldn't complain, he was alive and well was he not? He spoke a variety of languages and had seen a variety of places, but nothing quite like the island he found himself on now. He hadn't been here long, a scarce few weeks, maybe more... this place seemed to have every possible micro climate there was to be had. Deserts, meadows, forests, mountains, beaches, swamps... he was fascinated and thoroughly enjoying himself. His lanky seven foot long torso rocked back and forth as he moved, his large tail, brushed the earth, creating odd swipes in the dirt and leaving a trail. He didn't mind if anyone wished to track him, he enjoyed meeting new people, seeing new faces. This island seemed to be rather vacant, he hadn't encountered much of well, anything, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the scenery and soaking in the beauty of earth. Ah... well. He suppressed the sudden urge to dance, save it, he told himself, save it for the night. Dark eyes scoured the land before him with curiosity, bits of cloth, chunks of metal and shrapnel... what in Gods name had been here? Slowly he meandered forward, the soil was moist beneath his feet and with each step he took, his pads sunk into the soft ground. A flash, a glimmer of light caught his attention and he lowered his elongated cranium. A small shiny piece of metal, shaped into a small cylinder with a point. His tongue escaped the confines of his mouth to coil around the piece, testing the weight and texture of the odd piece before releasing it, eyes darting to continue his exploration. He paused when the sound of something drawing close caught his attention, he could hear and smell termites and ants, whatever this was, was akin to a freight train to his sensitive ears. He turned, lanky body swinging around to face the soul whenever they arrived, if it would have been anatomically possible, he would have been smiling, but alas! All he could was pause and wait.
