Dusty chuckled as his laughter died down. "Ah'm alright, just a little sand trap. Ah heard stories of someponys falling into those and never coming out. Some can be deep ah guess." Dusty brushed the last of the sand out of his mane. "Ah'm just glad it wasn't so deep, guess we aught to be careful where we walk now."
Dark tosses one end of a rope down,"Wouldn't want to fall into a deep one.", his eyes turn slightly green
Dusty took hold of the rope and pulled himself up. "Thank you kindly Dark." Dusty put his hat back on and looked ahead. "Well ah'm guessing that the cave is over that there ridge. It seems more...umm....rocky, then the rest of this sand." Dusty pointed past a couple dunes to what looked like a rock formation.
Dusty scratched the back of his head as he thought. "Well look over at it.....there's sand everywhere except there. Ah'm guessing it's some kinda rock formation, and what better place to hold a cave but some rocks. Ah pretty sure there ain't gonna be no caves in the sand." Dusty looked to Dark.
Dusty chuckled. "Ya got me there Dark. Needless to say though, some 'solid' ground would be nice right about now. Atleast then we can figure out where we are." Dusty looked at the sand trap in front of him. "Hmmm how to get around this.....thats gonna be the trick."
Faux rolled her eyes and lifted into the air to see what's really going on. "They aren't rocks, they're tombs!" Faux dropped to the ground but kept a 4 inches off the ground careful not to land in a sand pit.
"Tombs? Whatcha mean by that Fau...." Dusty covered his mouth real quick and took a deep breathe. "sigh*, sorry for that. Now as ah was saying, whatcha mean by that Ms. Faux?" Dusty tried to hide the embarrassment in his voice. He then looked to Dark. "Ah don't know partner, ah might be too heavy."
"Like tomb.. umm burial monument I believe." Faux tried to remember wat a tomb was. "I don't know how to explain it more."
Dusty nodded to Dark. "Well if your sure Dark, ah guess it's worth a try." Dusty walked over to Dark, then looked to Faux. "Lets go check out who might be buried over there. Ah'm mighty curious to see who.....or even what it is, aren't you Ms. Faux?" Dusty had a glimmer of adventure/curiosity in his eyes.
Dark's eye turned red, & he dropped off some supplies on the other side, then came back, & started to fly across, struggling a little.
Faux hovered on the other side touching the ground occasionally checking for more sand pits then leaving and X where its safe to walked. "Its like a mine field!"
Dusty chuckled and looked up to Dark and smiled. "Ah can walk now, Ms. Faux is marking a path for me ah guess."
Faux landed at the mouth of the tomb she hadn't relies she had gone so far ahead but by time she landed Dusty and Dark weren't so far away so she laid down in the shade and took another drink from her water.
