Chapter 48: Drip

The trek wasn't as easy as they had wished for and the birds refused to move even after the night fell.

Looking back over the field of salt and the surrounding dunes of sand from the slight elevation that they had so far covered Aksel could only wish for them to find any amount of water even if it's only a little to suffice the bird's need. 

Only then can they fly out of this wretched place.

"Do you think there can be weird animals here?" Yve asked looking around as she climbed another small boulder to rise up to the next level.

"Might be?" Aksel said climbing onto the next boulder helping her to take her next step up.

That was a possibility but a hard one for in this heat it was shard to believe that they would be able to find anything at all.
