"I assume we're getting close?" The ground was hot under his feet. The earth around them was dry and cracked in places, leading to the dormant geyser ahead. Hyperion continued to follow his newfound companion, carefully placing his steps where hers had been. His burnt golden eyes reflected the sunlight as he scanned their surroundings. Heavy black paws moved across the ground with an easy rhythm. This was another place he'd never seen before. "Miss Esperanza, is that geyser still active? Does it only rest during this dry season?" his head cocked slightly to the right, he quickened his pace to match hers, brushing his shoulders with her. It felt wonderful to have a friend again. The feeling of curiosity kept sliding through his veins. His eyes were wide and bright. How could it be that so many years had passed him by, and there were still so many places he hadn't seen yet? The old male sighed, a smile moving into place. These lands were wonderful, just begging to be explored. There weren't many years left to explore them, however. And the poor brute still hadn't settled down like he'd wanted to. The thoughts were pushed from his mind as soon as they'd come. He couldn't think about that now. He left those memories in the cave. He left them with Esperanza. From now on, he would keep looking forward. "Talk."Think. |
