As they continued through the right tunnel, with the faint glow in front of them slowly, so slow it was painful, getting brighter, Jessica began to get uneasy. Her bottom hurt from the scales on Xanthos' back and he wasn't exactly the fastest animal to ride on. Though he was trustworthy and determined, it still seemed to Jessica like he was being offset by something. Did he have the same doubts as she did? If so, why was he hiding them?
Because his hopes are so high. He's so ready for his voice to come back, he doesn't want me telling him to go back because it might not be what we need because it just might be.
Did you say something Jessica?
"No Xanthos, just thinking."
Okay, there's another fork coming up, the glow is on the left but I'm sensing something else on the right.
Jessica was now totally alert. "Like what Xanthos?"
Like, like... He stopped at what Jessica assumed was the fork, walked to the right a bit and sniffed. It didn't take his acute nose to smell what was there, it was a flowery scent.
A flower...could it be what we're looking for?
"It's ironic that a wolf would be the first of your sacrificial lambs."
